Sequencer or Computer
If you plan to use the FS1R with a sequencer or a computer equipped with sequencing software, the actual
connections you will need to make will depend on the type of sequencer/software you use, the type of MIDI interface
used, and the other equipment in your system. A simple system is shown below. In any case, you’ll probably want to
set the FS1R for multi-timbre playback (i.e. each part can be played via separate MIDI channel) by setting the
PgmMode parameter in the UTILITY/SYSTEM/MIDI group to “multi” (page 73).

G50 Guitar MIDI Converter
The Yamaha G50 is a high-performance Guitar MIDI Converter designed to work in conjunction with the Yamaha
G1D or B1D Divided Pickup Unit installed on an electric or steel-string acoustic guitar. The FS1R is an ideal tone
generator for use with a MIDI guitar system based on the G50.
Since the G50 produces MIDI output, the standard MIDI connection rules that apply to a keyboard or any other MIDI
controller also apply when connecting the G50 to the FS1R. One feature of the FS1R which makes it ideal for use
with the G50 is the ability to allow reception on a specified range of MIDI channels for each performance part.

WX-series Wind MIDI Controller
The FS1R is an ideal tone generator for use with a Yamaha WX-series Wind MIDI Controller such as the WX5 or
WX11. The WX5 can be directly connected to the FS1R MIDI IN connector, while the WX11 will require the optional
BT7 wind controller interface.
Special care must be taken with the following parameters and controls when using a WX-series Wind MIDI
Controller:
