This website was created from the inspiration of playing the Yamaha WX5
Windcontroller. I have a new website
now that is dedicated to my Solo act
using the synthophone http://www.saxmagic.net,
but this old site was and is my show
and tell site for all things
windcontroller and Synthophone
related. For many years I played Tenor,
Alto sax, and Flute as well as Harmonica.The Windcontroller will let me do those instruments now and many more.The Windcontroller
allows a musician to play a variety of sounds that have the capability of sounding like just about any acoustic instrument.
As a bonus there is also the fun of layering synths to produce horn sections and orchestra sounds. ----------------------------------------------------------
The Synthophone has replaced the WX5 as my windcontroller of choice.
I use the Synthophone with
a Yamaha
VL70m with the custom Patchman Turbo Chip.
A second VL70m module with Turbo
Chip and a Roland Sonic Cell
are used for expanding the palette
of sounds. It also allows for
the ability to layer sounds for horn
and string sections. I spent about a
year and a half trying to do
software synths . This was a a
pretty elaborate setup that became
to complex and glitch prone. Now I'm
back to concentrating on the music
instead of software.
