Features

XG-Wizard

Fader Automatization:

*  Rev, Cho, Var, Pan, Vol, Amp env and Filter changes made in a song will be shown in realtime for each Part while a song is playing back or if XG-Wizard receives such controller messages via MIDI in *  to see how it works just open "Achim's Minimalism.mid" and watch the Filter graphic of Part 1 and the VOL knob of div. Parts

Remote Control:

You can keep your hands on your MIDI keyboard all the time, you don't need to use the mouse or the computer keyboard! You can de/activate parts of the program, selecting edit sections and changing parameters via your MIDI keyboard.

Mixer Mode:

*  to route a soft/hardware sequencer's (or second computer's) MIDI output to XG-Wizard *  MIDI in data (all 16 channels) will be routed to the received MIDI channel and also be passed to the Fader Automatization

Virtual Keyboard:

*  now with additional wheels to trigger various controllers *  press the Shift key to trigger a random wheel movement while playing some notes on your MIDI keyboard, the virtual keyboard or even on the computer keyboard

New Wheel Function:

*  turn the wheel to de/increase a knob's value *  click on the wheel to switch between small/large change

Key Play:

To play MIDI note C3 to C4 - even chords can be played!

Scale Tuning Macros:

Comes with about 70 pre-defined scale tuning macros but you also can create and add your own ones.

Delay Time Calculator:

*  for delay parameters of variation and insertion effects to e.g. easily synchronize a delay parameter to a song tempo

Syx-Transmitter:

A very powerful tool to send a single or multiple .syx files to any MIDI device to setup your complete equipment (not only XG!) or to change a bunch of settings while a song is performed in a studio or live session Auto-Transmit: XG features not supported by XG-Wizard (e.g. modifying SW60 Mic In volume) can be automatically initialized at program start. For live or studio performance you can hold an unlimited amount of .syx files in a Syx File List to setup your equipment for the next song or just send a bunch of parameter changes (.syx file saved without XG reset command - new feature, see Special Save Option) at a certain song position e.g. at refrain positon change the Variation effect, add Reverb to Part 1, 7, 18, set Pan of Part 4 to left, Filter Frq of Part 8 to max, etc. - at chorus position change the Insertion effect, and so on... All done by a simple double click or a key stroke.

Player:

*  now with positon/transport bar and individual Part mute *  the player also sends its output to the Fader Automatization

XG-Mapper:

Changing the filter resonance and panning the output with e.g. the Modulation Wheel of your MIDI keyboard? No problem! The XG-Mapper converts Controller messages to SysEx messages, so it directly controls the XG-Parameter of the current Part and FX settings.

TC - Transmit as Controller:

*  to send some parameters as controller to your sequencer *  to edit the main parameters of all GM compatible sound devices...

• Having now used XG Wizard for a few days, I have to say that it is absolutely the best piece of software I've come across for accessing the capabilities of the SW1000XG.
  It should be held up as an example of how to get things right.
  The SW1000XG is an amazing pice of kit - but Yamaha always seem to sell themselves short by not providing software that will allow full, friendly and intuitive access to all of the functionality. Thank goodness you're around.

K. Walsh, Scotland
• Excellent!

D. Brown, USA
• And let me restate that I think you've written a terrific program.
  More importantly you've *designed* a great program.
  The interface is superb. The usability is incredible.

M. Cooper, England

J. Jackson, USA
• ... it works great ! Really, you've done a very good job, and the control layout for the program is really near to a real mixer!
  Working with your program is already easy and flawless.
