Performance, Tracks and Rom Sounds
the sound on the higher dynamic level. For example, a note can play bongo low by
playing with a soft touch and bongo slap by playing harder.
Similar to the Drumkits are the Sound Patches which also incorporate a Dynamic
Switch. These sounds change character or even sound by playing harder. For example,
the Sound “Rhodx” is constructed by assigning “ElPiano2” to the lower dynamic level
and “ElPiano1” to the higher. Sounds shown with a cross (†) in the ROM Sound map
(in the Appendix) correspond to Drumkits and Sound Patch sounds.
How the Sounds are organised in ROM
The ROM Sounds are arranged in an Instrument Patch Map (Sound Library) with
corresponding Program numbers. The WX Sound Library is a fixed map which cannot
be re-arranged.
The Sounds fall into sixteen families of 3 Banks each, except the Samples family, which
consists of 8 Banks, and the Drums family which consists of 16. All the Banks of each
family contain similar instruments (except the Samples and Drums Families).
Therefore, the Piano Bank consists of: WXGrand, BrtPiano, ElGrand1, etc..
Similarly, the Guitar Bank consists of: NylGuitar, SteelGtr, JazzGtr, etc..
All the Bank 1 Sounds of the Families (otherwise called “Capital” sounds) with Program
Number XX-1 are organised according to General MIDI Standard. The remaining two
Banks provide some Variation Tones with program numbers of the type
1
; 1-2, 1-3, 2-2,
2,3… 21-2, 21-3, etc., generally considered as a GS Standard implementation.
The ROM Sound Table is shown in the Appendix at the back of this manual.
The Drums Family
The Drums family provides 16 Banks of 8 Sounds each. Banks 2 and 3 contain 8
Drumkits each and the standard GM Percussion map, in the form of the Drumkit
“DKStand1” shown below, in Bank 2.
All the WX Performances have a Drumkit assigned to MIDI Channel 10 (Track 10) to
comply with GM Standards.
Note: if the WX General MIDI function is set to “ON” (page 3 of the Edit MIDI
functions), all program changes received on MIDI Channel 10 are automatically
addressed to the WX Drumkits to comply with General MIDI Standards.
See the Edit MIDI chapter for more information regarding General MIDI.
