Yamaha WX5 Bank Number Transmission

Program Change Control

Specific program change numbers can be directly trans-

mitted from the WX5 by using the playing keys (num-

bers 1 through 0 are assigned to the keys - see illustration

above) while pressing the Program Change button.

1-digit Example: Program Change Number 003

Press the A key (number 3) while holding the Program

Change button. Program change number 003 will actu-

ally be transmitted when the Program Change key is re-

leased.

An alternative method is to enter all three digits of the

number in sequence - [0][0][3]. In this case the program

change number will actually be transmitted as soon as

the last digit is entered.

2-digit Example: Program Change Number 012

Press the B key (number 1) and then the A# key (number

2) while holding the Program Change button. Program

change number 012 will actually be transmitted when the

Program Change key is released.

An alternative method is to enter all three digits of the

number in sequence - [0][1][2]. In this case the program

change number will actually be transmitted as soon as

the last digit is entered.

3-digit Example: Program Change Number 124

Press the B key (number 1), the A# key (number 2), and

then the G key (number 4) while holding the Program

Change button. Program change number 124 will actu-

ally be transmitted as soon as the last digit is entered.

• This method cannot be used to change the bank se-

lect number. The specified voice number within the

current bank will be selected. To change the bank num-

ber see “Bank Number Transmission”, below.

ing the Program Change button and the D# key, then en-

ter the 3-digit bank select LSB number while holding the

Program Change button and the C key.
