Roger Hagarty plays the Yamaha WX11 digital wind Instrument through a Yamaha Tyros3 keyboard as a demonstration for a Yamaha Club magazine article.

The Yamaha WX5/WX11/WX7 are models of monophonic MIDI wind controller musical instruments manufactured by the Yamaha Corporation. They have fingering similar to a flute, clarinet or saxophone. Like a keyboard controller, wind controllers send MIDI note information electronically to an external sound module or tone generator which in turn synthesizes a tremendous variety of musical tones. Unlike a keyboard controller which is usually polyphonic (see Polyphony (instrument)) a wind controller is monophonic, or a single-note instrument (though the WX5 is capable of playing a sustained note while other pitches are generated). The only limits to the kinds of sounds available are the limitations of the external module/tone generator, not the WX5 itself. A WX5 performer can sound like any melodic instrument: wind, string, percussion, keyboard, or purely electronic, including special sound effects. In addition most tone generators a mix of instruments can be programmed.

  • I wish they made just a sound module for the Tyros. It has the best sounds I have heard (I have listened to many demos). But I don't need (well have no talent for using) a Workstation

    How does it do with aftertouch? It would be evident with things like violin sounds. I have a JV1010 but it sounds like I am tonguing every note.

  • Me gustaría poder tener la musica de fondo y tocar yo la melodía. Tengo un Yamaha WX5.

    Podría envíarme la musica de fondo?

    albertoceres@gmail.com

    Algún sitio en español para aprenderlo?

    Gracias

    Un Saludo

  • Amazingggggggggggggggg.

  • Just DIGITAL WIND MIDI CONTROLLER.

    Depends on what sound module is connected with YAMAHA WX11.

    Yamaha Tyros3 is very expensive (sound module) ..Anyway, sounds great!

  • @musicomsat
