HIS ISSUE FEATURES the return
of the
Evatone Sound
Sheet.
Our
first
set of
Evatone Disks appeared in the May, June,
and
July 1986 issues
of
AfterTouch. This
month,
the
Sound
Sheet
is a musical introduction to
Yamaha's exciting new
WX7
MIDI
Wind
Controller, featuring compositions
and
perfor
mances by Sal Gallina. Sal
is
a top
New York
studio musician who has worked with a number
of
artists
on
such labels
as RCA,
CBS, Poly
gram, Arista,
and
Capitol.
Side
1 of the Sound Sheet displays the
expressive power
of
the WX7 in a series
of
solo
voice performances. Except where noted,
the
tone generator used was a TX81

Side 2
of the
Sound
Sheet
features two Sal
Gallina compositions, Rock 1
and
Orches
tral ."
Rock 1
was
created in
the
studio with tape
overdubs. On the first pass,
the
drum part (gen
erated by
an RXS was
recorded, along with the
"rhythm
guitar part. Actually,
the
rhythm gui
tar part
is
the WX7 controlling a TX81Z with
the
Power 01 patch.
On the
second pass, Sal
added
the
bass, which was again the WX7,
6 AFrERTOUCH/Vol. 3 No. 6
this time controlling a DX7 II with the E. Bass
02 patch.
On the
third and final pass, Sal re
corded the lead guitar"-WX7 controlling a
TX81Z with the E. Guitar patch.
"Orchestral "
was created in real time, with
no
overdubs. Sal used various Strings voicings
on
the TX81Z,
with
pitch shifts and other
effects used to create complex voicings. In addi
tion,
he
made use
of the
WX7's sustain fea
ture: To begin with, 4 string voices were as
signed to MIDI channe l 1, and
the other
4 were
assigned to MIDI
channel
2. Sal began by play
ing
on
channel 2, and
then
engaged
the
sus
tain. While the notes
on
MIDI
channel
2 were
sustaining, he switched to MIDI
channel
1
and
played the
other
4 string voices in real time.
Both
an
SPX90 and
a
REV7 were
used
throughout the
recording-the
REV7 for reverb,
and
the SPX90 for delay, flanging, pitch shift,
and other
signal processing effects.
For those who are interested in more infor
mation
on the
WX7, Sal Gallina has written a
book: Expressive
FM
Applications.
The
book
is
being
published by the
Yamaha Music
Foundation,
and
will be included
with
your
WX7. It will also be available in
the
fall at your
local book store or Yamaha music dealer. The
86-page book will come complete with a dem
onstration cassette (which will be new material,
not a duplicate of
the
Sound
Sheet
in this is-
sue), as well as complete voice data and special
effects setups for all
the
material
on
the cas
sette. In all, there will be data for 32 TX81Z
voices
and
32 DX7 II voices.

increases the
volume of
the
instrument not
simply
by
making
the
organ sound
louder, but
by
adding
ranks
of
pipes to
the
existing sound.
This is what the modulation

does in this
