THE 4 OPERATING MODES

In this chapter we’ll examine the four principal operating modes and describe the basic

features of each mode and how to select them.

What the modes are

The modes render WX logical to work with and each mode is named for the kind of

operation you can perform while in that mode. While each mode differs in many respects,

they all have one thing in common - the Performance.

REAL TIME PERFORMANCE MODE

This mode provides one of the “media” for WX’s ROM Sounds and is the principal

source for real time playing. You can create multiple combinations (from 1 to 16 sounds

playing simultaneously) without having to think about using the sequencer. This mode

is selected by recalling one of the REAL TIME PERFORMANCE Banks (PERF 1,

PERF 2 or PERF 3).

The 8 available Performances within the accessed Bank are selected with the Function

buttons (F1…F8).

One interesting feature of Real Time Performances is that they “carry” user-programmed

Sounds. WX does not have a Sound Library where Sounds can be added, moved or

deleted. The 472 resident WX Sounds can, however, be modified and stored in the Real

Time Performances. Each Performance can store up to eight modified sounds and a

drumkit. More about this in the Edit Sounds chapter.

INTERNAL STYLE MODE

The Internal Style mode is the principal source of fixed

automatic Rhythms and

Arrangement patterns and is selected by recalling one of the Internal Style Banks (Dance,

Jazz, Pop, etc.).

The 8 available Styles are selected with the Function buttons (F1…F8). Each Style is

associated to a Style Performance.

NOTE 1:

“Fixed” refers to the

fact that the recorded

sequences of the

Internal Styles are not

user-programmable.

The relative Style

Performances can,

however be modified

and saved.
