and
other
MIDI

FM
Voicing
Program
YRM-102
The
Yamaha
FM
Voicing
Program
software
cartridge
permits
you
to use the
CX5M
to create synthesizer voices
and
play
them
back
by means
of the
CX5M's
built-in
FM
Sound
Synthesizer
unit.
While
a rich
assortment
of preset voices
is
included with
the
FM
Sound
Synthesizer
unit,
the
FM
Voicing
Program
further
expands
the
creative potential
of the
CX5M
by
permitting
creation of
new
voices,
as
well
as
modification of
existing voices.
FM
Voicing
Program
Features
The
FM
Voicing
Program
enables
you
to
modify
all
the voices
which
come
preset into
the
FM
Sound
Synthesizer
unit.
It
also
enables
you
to create entirely
new
voices
from
scratch.
Voices
are
created
and
edited
by
entering data
from
the
CX5M
computer
keyboard.
All
data
is
visually
displayed
in real
time
on
the
monitor
screen.
Voice
creation
can
also
be audibly
monitored and sampled
in real
time
by
playing
a
Yamaha
Music
Keyboard which
is
connected
to the
computer.
All
voice data
(the
parameters of
voices
you
edit
or
create)
can be
saved
on
cassette
tape or data
memory
cartridge
(UDC-
01).
The
voice data
later
can be used
for
performance
when
the
CX5M
is
equipped
with the
Yamaha
FM
Music
Composer
or
the
FM
Music
Macro program
cartridges.
All
voice data,
and
a
complete
listing
of the
names
of
all
voices,
can be converted
to
"hard
copy"
with an
optional external
printer.
