Mode on the WX7. enabling performance of 16-part orchestral arrangements.

modulation: 

The process of modifying the sound of a syn-

thesizer. Some examples of modulation include pitch modu-
lation (vibrato), amplitude modulation (tremolo), and

brightness (called EG Bias on Yamaha DX series synthesizers
and TX series tone generators).

program: 

[1] (verb) A general term meaning to set parameter

values in a MIDI instrument, in order to create a voice, select
MIDI receive/transmit settings, etc. [2] (noun) see “voice”.

modulation 

wheel: 

A wheel controller located on the left side

of most keyboards. It sends a MIDI message to modulate
the sound of a synthesizer, for vibrato or tremolo effects.

setting: 

The number or value to which a parameter has been

programmed.

modulator: 

See FM.

monophonic:

Also 

called mono. Capable of producing only

one note at a time. Normally the WX7 is a monophonic in-
strument (when not set to the Dual Play mode).

slave: 

Any device (tone generator, drum machine, etc.) that

is being controlled by another device called a master. The
TX802 FM Tone Generator is a typical example of a slave

–– it has no keyboard or other playing device, and is basically
a “black box” containing tone generators which produce FM
voices which can be played by an external master-type device
such as the WX7.

note 

off: 

A MIDI message indicating the end of a note. This

message is sent whenever a key is released on a MIDI key-
board. On the WX7, a Note Off message is sent when breath
ceases to be applied to the mouthpiece. If the MIDI sound
source has been programmed with a long “release” time, the
note will continue and fade out, after the note off message
is received. Also known as key off.

voice: 

[1] A synthesizer sound, preset, or patch program. [2]

The basic sound generating portion of a synthesizer. For
example, a monophonic synthesizer is a one-voice instrument,
whereas the polyphonic DX7II has 16 voices.

note 

on: 

A MIDI message indicating the start of a note. This

message is sent whenever a key is pressed on a MIDI key-
board. On the WX7, a Note On message is sent when a note
is fingered and breath is applied to the mouthpiece. If the
MIDI sound source has been programmed with a long
“attack” time, the note may take some time to fade in after
receiving a note on message. Also known as key on.

operator: 

See FM.

parameter: 

An aspect of a synthesizer’s sound that can be

changed. Some parameters (called function parameters) can
be changed while playing, whereas others (called voice pa-

rameters) can only be programmed to be a permanent part
of the sound. Some examples of parameters include “LFO

speed,” “key transpose,” and “portamento time.”

pitch bend wheel: 

A 

controller on a MIDI instrument that

is used to bend pitch up or down on a note as it is being played.
The wheel is usually spring-loaded, so that it automatically
returns to a central (concert pitch) position when released.

In addition, there is usually a central “dead zone” so that

very small changes in the position of the wheel will not affect
pitch. On a DX7II synthesizer, the pitch bend range is variable
between ± 1 to 12 semitones. The WX7 has a pitch bend
wheel.
