viii LIST OF TABLES
Preface Typhoon is an entirely new system software for the Yamaha TX16W sampler. You will nd few similarities between the original Yamaha operating system and Typhoon. It is therefore advisable to read through this manual to get the most out of the new possibilities. With Typhoon, the TX16W is no longer merely a sampler. Among the many features of Typhoon there are powerful processing methods that will help you discover new possibilities in sound creation.
2 PREFACE
Chapter 1 An Overview of the Sound Architecture 1.1 Basic Items The sound architecture is built upon three categories of items. These are waves, voices and performances. Each category is provided with a list wherein the items themselves are stored, and the lists grow and shrink as necessary. \Empty spaces" are not created when items are removed and new items are added to the end of the list. All the items are accessable through their numbers and you can give them names of up to eight uppercase characters.
CHAPTER 1. AN OVERVIEW OF THE SOUND ARCHITECTURE 4 Perf A Shared items Voice A Wave A Perf B Voice B Wave B Voice C Wave C Performance items Voice D Voice items Wave D Wave items Figure 1.2: The item hierarchy 1.2 The Wave Waves are the most fundamental items in Typhoon. They represent single pieces of sound, e.g. a snare drum or a key of a piano, and can be created by sampling a sound source. The sampling process can be thought of as taking instant \snap-shots" of the \stream of sound.
1.2. THE WAVE 5 Wave Length 33 kHz Sample rate "Time" Pitch Sampled audio data Figure 1.4: The wave 1.2.1 The Pitch The pitch of the sound is automatically detected by Typhoon during sampling, but you can also manually set it to another value. Some sounds are pitchless by their nature and these can be specially treated as pitchless sounds by setting their pitch to \none." The correct pitch will always be played provided the pitch information in the wave of the sampled data is correct. 1.2.
CHAPTER 1. AN OVERVIEW OF THE SOUND ARCHITECTURE 6 1.3 The Voice and the Parameters of the Groups In Typhoon voices represent instruments, e.g. a drum kit or a piano, and to provide all the necessary features an instrument may have, the number of parameters is large. A voice is partitioned into groups where each group represents a part of the sound that the voice can produce.
1.3. THE VOICE AND THE PARAMETERS OF THE GROUPS 7 Voice Group 127 Group Group Group Velocity Key range: C2-F3 Vel. range: 5-70 Key 0 Figure 1.7: Key-velocity diagram F1 Bottom key Top key A5 Total range of group Bound to... Wave Figure 1.
CHAPTER 1. AN OVERVIEW OF THE SOUND ARCHITECTURE 8 the envelope parameters for each and every group. Thus, it would be much more convienient if a multi-sampled instrument could be de ned within one single group. To make this possible, Typhoon provides splits. Group Group Group Figure 1.9: Creating a multi-sampled instrument with groups 1.3.2 Splits The key range of the group can be split into several subranges called splits and the splits are separated by split points.
1.3. THE VOICE AND THE PARAMETERS OF THE GROUPS 9 Pitch shift 0 octaves +5 semitones 0 cent Figure 1.11: The pitch shifter Note: Typhoon will always compute the middle keys of the e ective ranges; consideration to split ranges are taken into account. Middle key of range Lower pitch Higher pitch Original pitch Figure 1.12: The \pitch" played when using pitchless waves 1.3.

1.3. THE VOICE AND THE PARAMETERS OF THE GROUPS 11 by pairwise source and destination entries. Thus, the modulation of varying the pitch with the pitch wheel is simply obtained by using the pitch wheel as source and the pitch shifter as destination. Up to 8 such source and destination modulation entries can be stored in the modulation table of the group (see Fig. 1.15).

AN OVERVIEW OF THE SOUND ARCHITECTURE Amplitude 12 Shape Rate Figure 1.16: The LFO L1 Time L3 L2 L0 T1 T2 Total amplitude Envelope Level T3 Figure 1.17: The envelope for further information. 1.4 The Performance The performance is built upon an amount of entries, where each entry represents a voice allocated on a certain MIDI channel (see Fig. 1.18). The entry is also equipped with a volume parameter so that individual volume settings can be speci ed.

Chapter 2 The Storage System 2.1 Items & Files Items in memory are lost if the TX16W is turned o . Therefore Typhoon provides a storage system so that the items can be permanently stored as les on diskettes, which later on can be loaded back into memory. In Typhoon you can save any type of item you wish and it is therefore possible to save a single performance, voice or wave. Furthermore, each item is stored as a single le so it becomes easy to load or save separate items, see Fig. 2.1.
CHAPTER 2. THE STORAGE SYSTEM 16 item is required during another session. This is especially recommended for those that would like to build Typhoon sound library diskettes. Name: PIANO1 Name: PIANO2 Voice PNO Wave C Name: PERFTEST Wave A Wave B Perf TEST Name: PERCSSN Voice PERC Wave D Wave E Figure 2.2: Files and their dependencies 2.2 Loading Items into Memory In Typhoon you can at any time load single les from diskettes into memory.
2.4. ITEM VERSIONS 1.None 2.Unsaved 3.All 17 Only the chosen item is saved. The items it is dependent upon are not saved. The chosen item, and the items it is dependent upon, are saved if these are presently unsaved (in other words: the items that currently are not available on diskettes). The chosen item, and the items it is dependent upon, are always saved. (Note: Typhoon has some intelligence.
18 CHAPTER 2. THE STORAGE SYSTEM the new version will still be saved and the older one will be left as it is. Be warned though that having many di erent versions with identical names may become quite confusing. It is strongly recommended that you rename items when signi cant changes have been made. Once an item has been renamed it is no longer treated as newer version but as a completely di erent item.
Chapter 3 The User Interface 3.1 The Front Panel The front panel of the TX16W consists of a display (40 2 characters), a keypad of buttons to the right, and a row of menu buttons beneath the display. Menu buttons Keypad Figure 3.1: The front panel 3.2 The Menu Buttons The menu buttons are used to switch the modes of the user interface (e.g. pressing PERFORM EDIT results in entering the mode of editing performances) and the current mode is indicated by a lit diode.
CHAPTER 3. THE USER INTERFACE 20 Often the information does not t within 40 characters and \scrolling" is used to view di erent parts. The display can be thought of as a \window" placed upon the displayed information. By scrolling the window to the left or right, di erent parts of the information become visible. Scrolling is done by constantly moving the cursor (.) to the left or right.
3.5. HORIZONTAL HIERARCHY 21 3.5 Horizontal Hierarchy It is rather di cult to display all the di erent parameters at the same time, in fact the tiny display makes it quite impossible. To overcome this dilemma, Typhoon uses a horizontal hierarchy so that the interface still can become user friendly and easy to use. In plain English, this means that issues on the right-hand side are typically determined by the issues on the left-hand side. For instance, >Voice >Grp >Param 001:MAXIPERC 01 3.
CHAPTER 3. THE USER INTERFACE 22 3.8 The List Mode All menu elds, and many value elds, have a special list mode. If the eld provides this ability, it is entered by simply pressing ENTER . The list mode shows a list of all the values that the eld can provide. Use the cursor to choose between the listed items, and press ENTER to change the value of the eld to the chosen item, or escape it (without choosing anything) by pressing the approriate menu button.
3.11. ITEM NAME EXTENSIONS 23 In this example, we then press the VOICE EDIT button, keep it held, and press the key D3 on the keyboard. Typhoon will jump to one of the two groups that was played by that key. .Voice 001:STRINGS >Grp >Param 01 1.Range >Bot >Top >Min >Max C2 C4 0 127 If we were to press the same key again.

The performance before receives program change code 42 at MIDI channel 10, which results in the new status as described by after.
CHAPTER 4. REFERENCE MANUAL 36 4.5 Performance Edit Utilities Performance edit utilities are utilities for performances only.

CHAPTER 4. REFERENCE MANUAL 48 Using the Keyboard as a Modulation Source As in the case of velocity, there are also two ways you can use the keyboard as a modulation source. With the keyboard based method, the middle key of the entire keyboard produces no modulation; the right hand side produces positive modulation and the left hand side produces negative modulation (see Fig. 4.16).
