GETTING STARTED
You re probably in a hurry to get started enjoying the W5/W7 s beautiful sounds and
other spectacular musical wonders, so we ve structured this section as a basic tutorial to get
you up and going with a minimum of detail, so you can spend your first few hours push-
ing buttons, twiddling knobs, riding faders and just generally having a good time familiar-
izing yourself with the W5/W7.
We ll take the grand tour of the instrument and step through all of the basic operating
procedures, including:
● Connecting the W5/W7 to a monitor system, powering
up and exploring the preset musical instrument voices
and realtime performance control capabilities.
● Loading the demonstration songs from the floppy disk
provided with the instrument and exploring the W5/
W7 s song play options.
● Editing and naming user voices and storing them in
Internal voice memory.
● Creating song sequences and stereo sound mixing.
● Saving voices and songs to floppy disk, plus tips on
how to best organize and manage your music data.
● Integrating the W5/W7 into an expanded music system
by connecting it to other external MIDI devices like
tone generators, samplers and computers, and using it
as either a master keyboard controller or a multitimbral
tone generator or sequencer controlled by other
devices.
The subsequent tutorial assumes that you have not yet hooked up the W5/W7 and
started exploring its many features. If you have already begun using the W5/W7, some of
the screens may be different from the ones which appear in the tutorial.
Finally, since this and other sections in this manual use concepts and terms specific to
the W5/W7, if you haven t done so already, please take a few moments to go back and read
