Using the Manuals Your MX49, MX61, or MX88 synthesizer comes with four different reference guides—the Owner’s Manual, the Reference Manual (this document), the Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List. While the Owner’s Manual is packaged together with the synthesizer as a hardcopy booklet, this Reference Manual, Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List are provided as PDF documents from the Yamaha Downloads web page.
PAGE 3
Basic Structure Basic Structure Basic Structure Controller Block Structure of the MX49, MX61, or MX88 Tone Generator Block The MX49, MX61, or MX88 system consists of five main functional blocks: Controller, Tone Generator, Effect, Arpeggio, and Song/Pattern Playing.
PAGE 4
Basic Structure Modulation wheel Even though the Modulation wheel is conventionally used to apply vibrato to the sound, many of the preset Voices (page 5) have other functions and effects assigned to the wheel. The higher up you move this wheel, the greater the effect that is applied to the sound. To avoid accidentally applying effects to the current Voice, make sure the Modulation wheel is set to minimum before you start playing.
PAGE 5
Basic Structure Tone Generator Block The Tone Generator block is what actually produces sound in response to the playing information generated by playing the keyboard and using the controllers. This section explains the AWM2 synthesis system, Voices (which are the basic sounds of the instrument), and Performances (which are Voice combinations).
PAGE 6
Basic Structure Voice Components Each Voice consists of OSC (Oscillator), FILTER, AMP (Amplitude), and LFO components. Editing parameters of these components allows you to create original sounds. Basic Structure Controller Block Tone Generator Block Effect Block LFO Arpeggio Block Song/Pattern Playing Block Low Frequency Oscillator Internal Memory MIDI/Audio Signal Flow OSC FILTER AMP To Effect block Wave Changes the tonal quality of the sound. Controls the output level (amplitude) of the sound.
PAGE 7
Basic Structure Voice Categories The Voices are conveniently divided into specific Categories. The categories are divided based on the general instrument type or sound characteristics. The different categories are listed below. Each category has multiple Voices.
PAGE 8
Basic Structure Memory structure of the Voices This instrument features multiple Voices in Preset Memory, which cannot be overwritten (page 17). These Voices are referred to as Preset Voices. On the other hand, Voices which are created by editing the Preset Voices are referred to as User Voices. User Voices are stored in User Memory, which can be overwritten (page 17). The maximum number of User Voices which can be memorized to User Memory is 128 Normal Voices and 8 Drum Voices.
PAGE 9
Basic Structure Performances This instrument features 16 independent parts that allow for sounding multiple Voices simultaneously. Such a program in which multiple Voices (Parts) are combined is referred to as a Performance. One Voice is assigned to each Part, and a single Performance is the combination of 16 Voices. You can play Parts 1 and 2 normally.
PAGE 10
Basic Structure Performance memory structure This instrument features 128 Performances in User Memory, which can be overwritten (page 17). To store an edited Performance, you need to overwrite one of the memory locations 1 – 128.
PAGE 11
Effect Block This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block, processing and enhancing the sound. Effects are applied in the final stages of editing, letting you change the sound as desired.

Basic Structure Arpeggio Block This block lets you automatically trigger musical and rhythmic phrases using the current Voice by simply pressing a note or notes on the keyboard. The Arpeggio sequence also changes in response to the actual notes or chords you play, giving you a wide variety of inspiring musical phrases and ideas—both in composing and performing. Two Arpeggio types can be played back at the same time.

Relation between played notes and Arpeggio types There are three main Arpeggio playback types as described below. Basic Structure Basic Structure Controller Block Arpeggios for Normal Voices Arpeggio types (belonging to all categories except for DrPC and Cntr) created for use of Normal Voices have the following three playback types. Playback of played notes only Arpeggios are played back using only the played note(s) and octave notes.
PAGE 16
Basic Structure Song/Pattern Playing Block This block lets you play the internal Rhythm Patterns or MIDI/Audio data saved to USB flash memory which is connected to this instrument. The MIDI data of the Rhythm Pattern and USB flash memory is sent to the internal tone generator block, and plays back the sounds.
PAGE 17
Basic Structure Internal Memory This instrument creates a variety of different kinds of data, including Performance and Voice. This section describes how to maintain the various types of data and use the memory devices/media for storing them.
PAGE 18
Basic Structure MIDI/Audio Signal Flow The MIDI/audio signal flow in this instrument and the flow between this instrument and an external device are shown in the following illustration.
PAGE 19
Using a Connected Computer Connect the instrument to your computer (via USB) and create your own original songs, using DAW software on the computer. NOTE The acronym DAW (digital audio workstation) refers to music software for recording, editing and mixing audio and MIDI data. The main DAW applications are Cubase, Logic, SONAR and Digital Performer. Though all of these can be effectively used with the instrument, we recommend using Cubase when creating songs together with the instrument.
