WX5 Vid 1

[fnonaka]

Is it easy to play? Is it like a flute? lol I liked it!

[songbirdwhosings]

Grover!



[dawretsof]

Very Good Expression in playing

[TheTesteccles]

Nice work Don. I found some good voices for the VL-70 years ago. I can't recall where I found them (Patchman maybe?)  I have a Pat Metheny guitar voice and a synth string ensemble voice that I use most of the time. I find that most of the VL70 sax, bass and horn voices are very good. The flute voices leave a lot to be desired.

[billmcb]

remarkably nicely done with very simple - but effective - lines!

...great job, don!...

sincerely,

bill mcbirnie

[RikJamezBich]

haha check it out. This is smooth.

[MissEziel]

I want that horn!

[luigiperso]

what are the best tenor sax samples to use with theWX5 ?

[harmonicamans]

Good Job! I have a Yamaha wx5 Just like the one you have. I love it. I see you also have a Yamaha VL70m Virtual acoustic tone generator. Are you playing with the original sound files. I hear you can get the VL70 juiced up somewhere. If you know where I would love to know.

Keep up the great music and may God Bless

CP

[mpflyboy1]

Great job! Where can I get the soundtrack? I play a wx-5 too and loved the tune.

[TnHodag]

I have the VL70M and Midi controller as well from patchman. R u using the Brecker patch? Did you make any adjustments to it? Thanks Randy

[Jonjohn85]

Great job, this is incredible how you sound realistic with that midi wind controller. By the way, would you mind to share a few midi sax. files ? I got some good sax presets but don't have any wind controller for the moment and when i try to play sax with my keyboard, it doesn't sound realistic @ all ...

[CoffeeNCigarettez]

is this a midi controller?

[naderc]

yes

[TnHodag]

I also have the patchman VL70m and wx5 set up. It's the bomb. What path are u on? is it the Michael Brecker? Did you change anything? Thx

[vashinaveen]

Great meditation......Realy very good tone...

[wii6tomoki]

SEXUAL HEALING

[johnadams44565]

Agreed.

[marinicamagheru]

haw cost have this saxofon?please.....i went proce him.his have this ton's of fabrication?

[sifs4]

i love it! great job! that's genius!

[ytsephill]

Would you say someone that never played a wind instrument could learn how to play this on his own?

[Icybearg450]

Yes why not?

I mean go and have a bit of notion on

musical notes or even play by ears

one thing for sure get the hands on and you'll play in no time!!

[potentialgenius2009]

i gotta get me one of these

[blc01]

dis man gon have all the lil ladys going crazy on here lol keep doing ya thang

[kurtgainz]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYBEEE!!!

[Ferrinde]

What´s the name of the song?

[Beematola]

Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing"

[nickmorgan19457]

That's honestly the best sax I've heard come out of a box. I've been screwing around with the VL in my EX5R, but none of what I can get is really that nice. Did you make that patch yourself?

[Beematola]

Yamaha VL70m - with Turbo Chip from Patchman Music. Tough to beat. Thanks for the good words. DB

[SonicOrbStudios]

Nice playing, I really liked the beat.

[Beematola]

Thanks very much.

[dmmnola]

Great sound. They have come mighty close, but still nothing like an old mark VI.

Can you save the midi signal from the controller and use the sound generator (VL-70) within your DAW, or is playing live analog the only way to use this setup?

[Beematola]

Bought my Mark VI in 1973 (tenor). Still have it. Still love it. WX5 will behave the same way as any midi controller as long as the parameters are set correctly. Thanks.

[HawkBuzz]

When i get this feeling

i need sexual healing

[theBmanlive]

Great job. Nice sax patch.

[Mcjoebuilder]

That was awesome. I wanted to hear the ending though! Great job.

[Beematola]

Thanks a lot. Got tired of listening to myself, so I let it fade..............

[Assyrianpianist]

I really liked it

[Beematola]

Thanks!

[jasonmanley]

Please help me to understand. If I buy one of these then do I also need to buy a midi controller? How much are they? Do I need a specific one or will any type do? How about the one on my electronic keyboard?

[Roby00976]

The WX5 is the controler, with the WX5 you will need a module like the Yamaha VL70M

[1000tuna]

The WX-5 is a MIDI controller.. makes no sound..need to control a tone module..Yamaha made the VL70m tone module to pair up with it..both on Ebay around $800...getting a good sound easy without having to develop 'chops'.. can approx clarinet, flute, or sax fingerings. EWI4000s is $700 with tone mod built in hard to play. I like my WX-5+VL70m sounds better. If your keybord has [MIDI in] the WX-5 can trigger it but results vary. Want info links? Email 1000tuna@youtube.

[RlzzMRginC]

The WX 5 is gr8 instrument One problem in many of its modes its just to realistic. i.e. the violin its like trying to play the acoustic instrument. Once mastered the sound is very realistic.

[skipqtexas]

White man likes Soul music huh? yea, I know its the best.

Sound is not real to the musical ear. But 5 stars anyway.

[pardonmybass3]

wow that sounds suprisingly realsistic

[Beematola]

It's a great rig. Thanks.

[4000s]

I enjoyed this very much. I'm an ewi player and loved the patch you used. Very nice!

[Beematola]

Thanks a lot.

[williamhtrice]

nice jazzy playing, good sound, you seem quite octave constrained, especially towards the start, i think you should phrase across the whole range of the instrument a bit more... nice all the same though... better than me on my 4000s. And i DO like the patch

[Beematola]

Just playing the tune dude, not too worried about how many notes I can squeeze in. Thanks, though.

[orantes007]

[phillysax]

Tom Scott would enjoy seeing this.

[vidkid7]

That Brecker patch with the Turbo Chip sounds GREAT! I picked up a WX5 for cheap, and have never heard that turbo chip sound so great. I've Matt's site also. I am a guitarist by the way...and have NO idea how to play sax..but one day. Great video!

[Beematola]

Thanks.

[smoothbabic]

Hi,really nice.I wanted to ask you about the VL70-m and the patches it comes with,are they nice?Does it have electric guitar,bass,keyboard patches?how you wire up your WX-VL70 set up?Thanks

[Beematola]

The stock patches are pretty nice. I do believe that the Turbo Chip that is installed in my VL70m modules is an upgrade - particularly, the sax patches.There are a couple of nice lead. guitars and some really good basses on the stock VL70m. Nice analog synth-like patches, but not so much organs or e.pianos. I either plug in the front of the unit with a WX cable, which powers the WX5, or insert batteries and run wireless midi with a MidiJet Pro.

[Beematola]

The patches on the stock VL70m are very nice. Basses are great. Some nice classic synth-type patches also.

[pusky99]

hi mrs bematola i have yamaha wx 5 i dont no to seting thid instrument you can help me ? we can thalk from web cam ? me mesenger adrres is viorelraducanu 2007

[spicyswiss33]

hi. very good song. I also have a VL-70m.. played with my keyboard and the BC3 (only.. ). Can you please post more songs ?

[Beematola]

I will in the next few days, I hope. My VL70m has a Turbo Chip installed from Patchman Music. I am using the Michael Brecker tenor patch. Thanks. Don

[bebopkim]

nice playing! could you tell me the name of the song? i just wanna play like you. it's great!

[Beematola]

Really nice of you. "Sexual Healing", by Marvin Gaye. Thanks. Don

[bbbjjjbbb]

I really enjoyed that, what a nice sound. What an interesting musical instrument.

[Beematola]

Thanks very much. Don

[theonlyrealMugsy]

Wow! What a great idea! Like a snake charmer, the guy plays "sexual healing", and somebody in the house gets the message...genius!
