KEY ADJUSTMENT SHIMS
Two sets of 14 key adjustment shims allow you to make minute
adjustments of each key’s playing height. 0.2 mm and 0.5
mm
thick shims are provided, enabling you to set each key
to one of three playing heights, to exactly suit your playing
style. The shims are self-adhesive. Simply remove the plastic
covering from the shim, and stick it firmly on the body of
the WX7 just under the pad opposite the key you want to
adjust, as shown in the above diagram.
DRAIN PLUGS
Two types of Drain Plugs are included: one that fully blocks
the Drain Hole (with a circular cross-section), and one that
partially blocks it (with a cross-shaped cross-section). In
normal use (without plugs) the WX7 behaves like a regular
saxophone: the air passes down the body of the instrument
and out of the lower drain hole. Partially closing the upper
drain hole creates a tighter blowing feel. Completely closing
the drain hole creates an even tighter feel, suitable for sax-
ophone players who tend to blow hard. Experiment with these
options and select the one that suits you.
The plugs are inserted into the drain hole while the mouth-
piece is detached. The mouthpiece is detached by gently and
firmly sliding it out from the top of the WX7.
TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH THE THIN LIP SENSOR
EXTENDING FROM THE INSTRUMENT.
This device
(which measures subtle variations in lip pressure) is delicate
and can easily be bent or damaged.
Make sure to push the plug as far in as it will comfortably
go without forcing. Keep the drain plugs in their compartment
in the carrying case when not in use.
INFORMATION BOOKLET AND CASSETTE TAPE
An informative booklet,
Expressive FM Applications,
and
an accompanying cassette tape have been included. The
booklet provides important playing and editing tips for most
effectively using your tone generator with the WX7, and the
cassette tape includes recorded performances of the WX7
as well as specially programmed TX8lZ and DX7II voice
data.
SCREWDRIVER
MIDI/DC Extension Cord
The screwdriver is located on a plastic holder attached to the
MIDI/DC extension cord.
The screwdriver is used to adjust the four rotary pots (which
control the lip pressure and breath pressure: refer to the
ADJUSTING THE PLAYING RESPONSE section) and to
change the positions of the DIP switches (see THE DIP
SWITCHES section). Always keep the screwdriver in the
plastic holder on the MIDI/DC extension cord.
PLAYING STRAP
A playing strap is included to hold the WX7 while playing.
Connect the strap to the ring on the back of the instrument
as shown in the rear view illustration in the GUIDE TO THE
CONTROLS section.
