[. . . ] Version 2 System Upgrade Information Guide Information zur Systemerweiterung (Ver. 2) Information sur extension du système (Ver. 2) WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 2 Welcome to Version 2--a powerful system upgrade package for the Yamaha W5/W7 Music Synthesizer that adds an exciting new dimension to one of the most versatile all-in-one music production workstations ever made. Version 2 provides additional Preset voice banks, more than a hundred greatsounding new voices, a long list of unique performance, song play, recording and remixing functions, plus many convenient shortcuts and other useful new features which further streamline the W5/W7's already simple operation. ENGLISH New Features · A total of three Preset voice banks, plus hot new techno, dance music and other voices which add unprecedented sonic dimension and musical range to the W5/W7's high quality digital sound. (For details, see page 8. ) · Cue Play, which lets you trigger-start a song or sequence phrase from a specified measure simply by pressing a Track button. Lining up a different phrase for each of the 16 Track buttons lets you cue up the right groove or music "hit" at the right time as the mood of the party dictates. [. . . ] Of course, Clock Shift comes in extremely handy when you want to correct timing that is consistently off in the first place. Val (Value) , , , , , , , , , "Val" determines to what beats the note data in the corresponding track will be aligned. If you select "#16th-note#", for example, all notes in the track will be aligned to the nearest 16th-note beat, to a degree determined by the strength parameter, below. You can select a quantize value by pressing the key in the numeric keypad with the corresponding note value printed above it. Pressing button 7 more than once toggles between 8th-note-triplet and 8th-note + 8th-note-triplet, and pressing button 8 more than once toggles between 16th-notetriplet and 16th-note + 16th-note-triplet. (For a complete listing of the quantize parameters for each type, see the Playback Effect Template Type List on page 17. ) · Vel. Ofst (Velocity Offset) ­99~+99 "Vel. Ofst" determines the amount of velocity change for all note data by the same relative amount. A setting of 00 will cause no change, whereas negative values will decrease velocity levels, and positive values will increase velocity levels. Str (Strength) 0~100% "Str" determines how strongly the notes are attracted to the specified quantize value. At a setting of 0%, no quantization will occur, while a setting of 100% will cause all notes to be aligned precisely to the nearest specified beat value. · Vel. Rate (Velocity Rate) 0~200% "Vel. Rate" determines the ratio between the lower and higher velocity values. A setting of 100% maintains the original relationship between the notes, while lower values produce a narrower dynamic range (minimum 1%), and higher values produce a broader dynamic range (maximum 200%). · GateRate (Gate Time Rate) 0~200% "GateRate" determines the ratio between the shorter and longer gate time values. A setting of 100% maintains the original relationship between the notes, while lower values produce a narrower gate time range (minimum 1%), and higher values produce a broader gate time range (maximum 200%). You can use Gate Time to give the entire pattern a more staccato or legato feel, as desired. NOTE The VCE_EDIT. A1S file introduces the Playback Effect function.
