Hi, I have a Yamaha KX88 electronic main midi keayboard. The G notes are all dead. Please advise on how i can solve the problem or can i by the the boards for the notes and how much will it cost me?

Unless you are a tech, trained to repair this type of gear, I would strongly advise you to have it repaired by such a tech. Don't risk damaging the keyboard beyond repair. Spend the money.

Reprogramming a Yamaha WX5 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) typically involves adjusting settings, assigning functions to different keys, or customizing parameters to suit your preferences. Here's a general guide on how you might reprogram a Yamaha WX5:

1. Access the Menu:
   • Turn on your Yamaha WX5.
   • Navigate through the menu options using the buttons or controls on the instrument. Refer to your WX5's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the menu.
2. Select Parameter to Edit:
   • Once in the menu, find the parameter you want to edit. This could include things like breath sensitivity, pitch bend range, or assigned MIDI channels.
3. Adjust Parameters:
   • Use the controls provided on the WX5 to adjust the parameters. This might involve turning knobs, pressing buttons, or using a combination of controls.
4. Save Changes:
   • After making your adjustments, make sure to save your changes. The WX5 typically has a save or store function within the menu. Confirm the changes and save them to the instrument's memory.
5. Refer to the Manual:
   • Consult the user manual for your specific Yamaha WX5 model. The manual will provide detailed information on navigating menus, adjusting parameters, and saving changes.
6. Connect to a Computer:
   • Some advanced customization may require connecting your WX5 to a computer using MIDI. You can use Yamaha's dedicated software, if available, to reprogram certain parameters.
7. Use External Sound Modules:
   • If you're using external sound modules or synthesizers, some customization may need to be done on those devices as well. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI equipment to ensure compatibility and proper configuration.
8. Explore Advanced Settings:
   • Depending on your proficiency and the complexity of your WX5 model, you might explore more advanced settings like custom MIDI mapping or adjusting sensitivity curves.

Remember to approach reprogramming with caution, especially if you are not familiar with all the settings. Make note of the default settings before making changes, so you can revert to them if needed.
Always refer to the user manual specific to your Yamaha WX5 model for accurate and detailed instructions on reprogramming and customization. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking assistance from Yamaha support or experienced professionals in electronic wind instruments.

the main line on the c note that goes to the main board seems not ok, u will need a qualified technician to check and advise. this may be caused by liguid pouring on it, moisture leading to rust corroding the terminals.

I haven't been able to find documentation to be sure if the CT-630 has MIDI ports on it (my guess is no, but please check). If it does, you can get something like the Yamaha UX16 USB MIDI Interface cable to connect the keyboard to a PC.
If not, sorry, it seems the only thing you could do is record the audio output.

you need to determine what midi note the DTXplorer is using for the snare, kick and 3rd tom, and set the SR-18 accordingly, or vica-versa. the midi notes for each instrument has to be the same.

if you cannot change the midi note in either unit to make them correspond, you can download a "midi mapper" program (i think e-drum might be one), there is freeware available if you search CNet. with a midi mapper program, you would have to get a midi/usb adapter for your computer and rouite the midi signal through a computer. midi mapping software allows you to change the midi note, when the hardware itself is incapable of doing so.

It is IMPORTANT to realize that the SUSTAIN is NOT attached to a note, but is an independent MIDI message. Hence it is up to the external MIDI device to associate the sustain with whatever notes are still active.

try a midi loopback device or a viruual midi cable such as sonys virtual midi cable: http://www.johnrofrano.com/tutorials/virtualmidirouter.htm

i dont know if this one will work, you could also search for loopb1 and hubi's midi loopback device, one of these should work.

what you have to do is use one of these programs, or something similar, to connect your midi input to the soundcard's midi wavetable or to your midi/synth/sequencing software's midi input.

also, the drum machine should be set to output to midi channel 10. make sure that your software is set to recieve on midi channel 10, if applicable.

Here is the manual if you don't have it:http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/emi/english/ssdrums/dtxp4_en_om_d0.pdf The set comes with 427 drum/percussion voices and 22 keyboard voices. If you use a midi cable plugged into the midi out on the sound module you can control other midi sound modules and midi devices by plugging into the midi in on them. Page 30 of the manual describes some of the parameters. If this helps please let me know.

You are suffering from midi latency. There is a good article about this at www.thewhippinpost.co.uk/latency.htm There is also some good advice there.

Any pro-audio interface with a midi input would do the trick. There are numerous products out there that offer this. You can get a simple usb midi interface, and connect the Yamaha up with a midi cable running from the midi out of the drum module to the nidi in of the interface.

one of the simpler ones:...
