Yamaha EX5R - Manual (Page 22)

22
When connected to a personal computer (MacOS® or Windows®), either directly or “chained” via an
external hard disk (see “NOTES” regarding SCSI ID numbers, below), wave data can be transferred
from the EX5, EX5R, or EX7 to the computer, edited using the Yamaha Wave Editor TWE application
(saparately available), and then transferred back to the EX5, EX5R, or EX7.
See page 278 for details on installation of the ASIB1 SCSI Interface Board.
Please note that since the EX5, EX5R, and EX7 use a proprietary data format, the external hard disk must be
formatted by the EX5, EX5R, or EX7 to allow direct data storage and retrieval. The EX5, EX5R, or EX7 will not
directly write to or read from a hard disk formatted by any other computer or device, and vice-versa.
When connecting the EX5, EX5R, or EX7 to a personal computer and/or hard disk via the SCSI interface, make
sure that the EX5, EX5R, or EX7 SCSI ID number — set via the UTILITY mode Other Setup display (page 276)
— does not conflict with any other SCSI device in the SCSI chain. In other words, no two devices in the SCSI
chain should be set to the same SCSI ID number.
The ASIB1 SCSI Interface Board only has a single SCSI connector and thus must be connected at the end of the
SCSI chain (the ASIB1 interface is internally terminated).
MIDI Connections
Like any other MIDI instrument the EX5, EX5R, and EX7 can be used with MIDI tone generators,
sequencers, computer software, and controllers for virtually unlimited system expansion and control
capability. You might, for example, like to control it from a Yamaha wind controller such as the WX11
rather than the keyboard for even more realistic wind-instrument feel and expression.
