Simply Dynamite: Yamaha MIDI Magic
Yamaha has a full line-up of professional MIDI instruments from which you could choose in order to build up a MIDI music system that's perfect for your own individual needs. Two in particular are especially suited for use with the CS2x, as follows: · QY700 Music Sequencer Ideal for professionals and novices alike, the QY700 is a full MIDI production center in its own right complete with easy-to-use MIDI instrument and drum part composing through a built-in database of musical style phrases and "groove templates", 32 "linear" tracks and 16 "pattern" tracks, a full XG multitimbral tone generator including three digital multi-effects units, plus wide-ranging editing and on-board mixing features.
· RM1x Sequence Remixer Ideal for dance DJs, the RM1x features the same basic sequencing and editing functions of the QY700 -- along with hundreds of voices, 960 Preset patterns and 800 User patterns -- plus real-time performance controls including a 16-key "microkeyboard" for easy switching of patterns and 8 CONTROL knobs for dynamic control of the sound on each track. There's also an arpeggiator, SMF compatibility, and much more.
