Setup Switch Settings
The WX5 has 16 DIP switches which can be used to set up
a range of important basic parameters. These switches are
not intended for frequent use, but rather to set up the WX5
to match your individual playing requirements. Read the
descriptions below carefully before changing the setup
switch settings.
●
Remove the rubber switch cover, and use a small screwdriver or similar imple-
ment to change the switch settings as required.
●
The switches are OFF when flipped to the left, and ON when flipped to the
right. All switches are OFF when the WX5 is initially shipped.

●
Switch 1-4 (Win) - Wind Curve
Determines the relationship between breath pressure and
the output MIDI volume data.
SW 1-4 Setting
OFF Normal
ON Hard (requires considerable breath pressure to
produce maximum volume)
●
Switch 1-5 (Lip) - Tight Lip/Loose Lip Mode
Selects the Tight Lip or Loose Lip playing mode. In the

• When using the WX5 with a tone generator which does
not have a WX IN connector, be sure to set the SW1-
1(Vel) switch ON so that a fixed velocity value is transmit-
ted, and set the SW1-2(Win) and SW1-3(Win) switches
so that MIDI expression control (SW1-2 ON, SW1-3 OFF)
or volume control (SW1-2 ON, SW1-3 ON) is transmitted.
