the
Yamaha
exclusive
digital
FM

provided
with
your DX5,
but

any
number
of
your own
voices
and
store
them
on
optional
RAM
data
cartridges.
Two
FM
voice
generator
channels
are
provided
which
you
can
use
individually,
combined,
or in
the
split
keyboard
mode.
The
DX5
offers
more
than
just
spectacular
voices,
however,
it
also
has
one
of
the
most
comprehensive
performance
effect
systems
available.

addition
to
the
common
pitch
and
modulation
wheels,
you
have
keyboard
initial
touch
response,
after
touch
response,
foot
controller
and
Yamaha's
unique
breath
controller
(foot
controller
and
breath

are
options).
Each
of
these
controllers
can
be
programmed
to
produce
an
extremely
broad
variety
of
effects,
many
of
which
are simply
not
achievable
with
conventional
synthesizer
systems.
What's
more
the
DX5
has
a
special
performance
memory
which
can
store
up
to 64
combinations
of
voices
and
performance
effect
parameters,
so all
you need
to
do is
press
a
button
to call
out a voice
or
voice
combination,
each
with
its
own
unique
set of
performance
parameters.
The
DX5
is
also
equipped
with
a MIDI
interface,
permitting
it
to
communicate
and
be
used
with
other
MIDI
compatible
products
to
create
a
state-of-the
art
digital
music
system.
The
Yamaha
DX5
is
a
sophisticated,
fully
professional
performance
or
recording
keyboard.
