Simply Dynamite: Yamaha MIDI Magic
Yamaha has a full line-up of professional MIDI instruments from
which you could choose in order to build up a MIDI music
system that’s perfect for your own individual needs. Two in
particular are especially suited for use with the CS2x, as follows:
• QY700 Music Sequencer Ideal for professionals and novices
alike, the QY700 is a full MIDI production center in its own
right complete with easy-to-use MIDI instrument and drum
part composing through a built-in database of musical style
phrases and “groove templates”, 32 “linear” tracks and 16
“pattern” tracks, a full XG multitimbral tone generator
including three digital multi-effects units, plus wide-ranging
editing and on-board mixing features.
• RM1x Sequence Remixer Ideal for dance DJs, the RM1x
features the same basic sequencing and editing functions of
the QY700 — along with hundreds of voices, 960 Preset
patterns and 800 User patterns — plus real-time performance
controls including a 16-key “microkeyboard” for easy
switching of patterns and 8 CONTROL knobs for dynamic
control of the sound on each track. There’s also an arpeggiator,
SMF compatibility, and much more.
