Unique
to Yamaha, computer-based "physical modeling" technology which
accurately simulates the complex vibrations, resonances, reflections
and other acoustic phenomena that occur in real wind or string
instruments-to produce high quality monophonic voices.
Built-in Effects Section
With independent Reverb, Chorus, Variation and Distortion effects
Flexible Voice Editing Options
Although many parameters can be edited via the
panel controls, peripheral voice editing software is available to give
much more voicing flexibility. These can be obtained by downloading
them from Yamaha XG-MIDI home page at:
http//www.yamaha.co.jp.english/xg/html/libhm.html via Macintosh®
systems
Visual Editor
An application with a graphical interface which
allows you to make selections using easy-to-understand palettes and
clickable buttons. (A Windows® version of the Visual Editor is also
available.)
Analog Editor
An application with graphical interface which allows you to make selections using familiar analog-style knobs and switches.
Expert Editor
Provides full access to the complete range of physical modeling parameters, ideal for creating entirely new voices.
Compatible
Designed for compatibility with various types
of external devices. A WX In jack lets you connect a Yamaha WX-series
Wind MIDI controller. The "VL Extension for XG" feature significantly
enhances and expands the musical capabilities of the XG format. A TO
HOST connector lets you connect a personal computer for editing,
sequencing and other musical applications without a separate MIDI
interface.
Versatile
Use from a keyboard, a Wind MIDI controller or a Guitar MIDI converter
