Setting Sensitivity
The WX11 has 5 different sensitivity settings that you can
choose to match your playing requirements. The different sensi-
tivity settings provide different combinations of wind gain (the
amount of breath pressure required to produce a given volume
of sound) and lip gain (the amount of lip or reed pressure re-
quired to produce a given change in pitch). You should try all
the available settings and select the one that you feel most
comfortable with.
The 5 possible sensitivity settings are: SOFT, MEDIUM SOFT,
MEDIUM, MEDIUM HARD and HARD. The MEDIUM set-
ting is automatically selected when the WX11 system power is
initially turned ON.
1. After the system power has been turned ON, hold down the
WX11 setup key (1) and press the octave key (2) correspond-
ing to the desired sensitivity setting*:

2. Release the octave key and then the setup key.
* Sensitivity settings can only be selected while no breath
pressure is applied to the WX11 mouthpiece.
* The setup key also has a "wind zero reset" function that
resets the no-wind (no-breath) status of the wind sensor. If
temperature extremes or other unusual circumstances cause
the WX11 to continually produce sound even when no breath
pressure is applied, simply press the setup key.
