ACCESSORIES AND
MAINTENANCE
MIDI/DC EXTENSION CORD
The WX7 comes fully equipped with everything you need
to connect it to your MIDI synthesizer or tone generator
and begin playing. This section lists all the supplied acces-
sories, explains their usage, and gives tips on how to maintain
your WX7, for years of trouble-free use.
MIDI/POWER PACK
OUT Jack
On/Off Switch
The MIDI/Power Pack supplies the required power (9 volts
DC) to the WX7 and sends the WX7’s MIDI data out to
your MIDI synthesizer or tone generator. The MIDI/Power
Pack normally runs on 6 “AA”-size batteries. You can also
use an optional 12-volt AC adaptor (Yamaha PA-1). A third
possibility is to use rechargeable batteries. In this case we
suggest that you always keep a spare set of fully-recharged
batteries handy.
When battery voltage becomes low, the LED on the
MIDI/Power Pack will flash, signalling that replacement of
the batteries is necessary.
The MIDI/Power Pack is connected to the WX7 by means
of a 1.5 meter (4 l/2 feet) MIDI/DC cable, which attaches
to the compact, specially-constructed MIDI/DC terminal on
both units.
The MIDI/Power pack has an on/off switch with an ac-
companying LED to indicate when the power is on, a DC
input jack for the PA-l adaptor, and a MIDI OUT terminal
to which you connect a standard MIDI cable (the other end
of which is connected to the MIDI IN terminal of your MIDI
synthesizer or tone generator).
Also included is a soft case which has slots in the back for
attaching the MIDI/Power Pack to your belt.
Six “AA”-size batteries are supplied. Insert the batteries into
the MIDI/Power Pack in the configuration printed on the
inside case of the battery compartment. During regular use,
keep a spare set of batteries in the carrying case. When not
using the WX7 for long periods, remove the batteries and
store them in the carrying case.

This cord allows you to increase the length of the MIDI/DC
cord connecting the MIDI/Power pack to the WX7. Like the
MIDI/DC cord, it has the dual function of supplying the
WX7 with power and transmitting its MIDI data to the
MIDI/Power pack. This cord has a length of 5 meters (15
feet). Extra cords can be purchased and used (up to a sug-
gested maximum of three.
MIDI CABLE
The MIDI cable supplied with your WX7 is a standard 3-
meter (9 feet) cable. To avoid any degradation of the MIDI
signal use only this cable, or a similar high-quality MIDI
cable, to connect the WX7 to your MIDI synthesizer or tone
generator.
MOUTHPIECE AND MOUTHPIECE COVER
Mouthpiece
Cover
Made of durable, scratch-resistant plastic, the WX7’s
mouthpiece has a permanently attached plastic reed and a
special cover to protect the mouthpiece when not in use.
Two mouthpieces are supplied; the second can be kept as a
spare, or used by a second player. Keep the mouthpiece
attached to the WX7 when not in use or when storing in the
hard case.
The mouthpiece protects the lip sensor from
damage.
