Continues the W family legacy, adding scene memory, along with sampling, AN, VL, and FDSP (note modulated effects) tone generators. |
The Yamaha EX5 is a (velocity and aftertouch) sensitive 76 key (128 voice multitimbral) 16 bit sampling synthesizer, featuring stereo|mono sampling (44.1kHz), 3 effects processors, stereo sample inputs, stereo and dual individual outputs, DSHD floppy drive, 16 track real-time and 8 track pattern sequencers, arpeggiator, MIDI, 512 presets (256 are editable), and 4 elements, using AWM2 (sample playback), AN (analog modelling), VL (acoustic modelling), and FDSP (note modulated effects) tone generators. Each tone generator has associated filters (AWM:EQ/DCFx2, AN:DCF, VL:EQ/DCF), dedicated (pitch, filter, and amp) EGs, and dual LFOs (single for VL). Sample editing includes loop reverse, normalize, and splice. |
