Yamaha TX7 - Page 13

THE
7X7
AND
DX
FUNCTION
MEMORIES
To
review,
the TX7
has two
sets of
32 function
memories:
one for
the TX7's
own
voices,
and
one
specifically
for
Yamaha
DX
synthesizer
voices.
At this
time,
the
Yamaha
DX7
and
DX9
Digital
Programmable
Algorithm
Synthesizers
{the DX7
with
32
voices
and
the DX9
with
20)
benefit
most from
the TX7's
DX
function
memory
expansion
capability.
The
top-line
Yamaha
DX1
Digital
Programmable
Algorithm
Synthesizer
already
has
dual
voices
generators
and
independent
function
memories
for
each
of its
voices,
but adding
a
TX7
to
a
DX1
gives
you triple-voice
performance
capability
which,
with
a
little
imagination,
will
allow
you to create
some
really
impressive
sounds.
Of
course,
more
Yamaha
DX
synthesizers
are on
the way,
and
they,
too, will
benefit
greatly
by addition
of
the TX7
FM
Expander.

The
following
is
a

of all
the
function
parameters
that
can
be
programmed
in
Function
Memory
the TX7,
and
the
corresponding

which
will
appear
on the
TX7's
LCD
display

Some of
the above
functions
pertain
to
real-time
effects
control
from
the
connected
DX
synthesizer,
while
others
are
"direct"
functions
which
take
effect
immediately
after
being
set.
The
real-time
control
functions
are: pitch
wheel,
modulation
wheel,
foot
control,
breath
control and
after
touch.
The
direct
functions
are:
master

split

attenuation, mono-

play
mode, and
portamento.

For real time

to

the "CTL.

RCV.
ON" (or
"OFF")
function,
described
in the
"MIDI
OPERATIONS"
section,
must
be
"ON".
