speaker diaphragm into a microphone diaphragm. This allows Subkick to pick up the low-end that a normal microphone can't. Mounting the speaker into the shell focuses the sound to direct the signal into the diaphragm. Using that shell makes the Subkick as easy to use on the road as it is in the studio and it looks great with any drum kit. The Subkick features a 10-inch woofer which is shockmounted inside a 7-ply Maple shell and covered with 10-inich black mesh heads. The drum shell focuses sound waves in a strong, directional pattern through the speaker. The Mesh heads, although sonically invisible to those frequencies, add a small amount of sustain to the sound. In combination with the resonance of the drum shell, the speaker produces an incredible sub-frequency sound, with plenty of punch and controlled thickness, and without the phasing problems often associated with low end reproduction. When used alone or in combination with a standard kick drum microphone, the Subkick will capture the full range of frequencies coming from the drum without EQ, compression, or any other signal processing. The Subkick also includes a standard XLR for easy connection, and does not require +48V Phantom power to operate. Yamaha Subkick I was looking for a way to capture the actual, uncolored sound of my kick drum, both on tape and live , explains Yamaha Drum artist Russ Miller, who designed the Subkick through his extensive work in professional recording situations. A kick drum mic placed in a common position really doesn't capture all the frequencies. I had the idea of combining some of the characteristics of a drum, and using a speaker as an extremely large microphone diaphragm together. The Subkick was born. Subkick Batter Woofer A diaphragm in a microphone is basically a small speaker that moves when Sound Pressure Levels pass through. The response of the mic to these sound waves is amplified, and that's how we hear instruments on tape or through a P.A. system. Standard loudspeakers have been used as microphone diaphragms before, but never in combination with the characteristics of a drum shell and mesh heads. That's what makes the Subkick the first of its kind. 6.5-inch Speaker/Diaphragm 10 x 5-inch Birch and Mahogany Shell Comes with specially designed stand Subkick has Yamaha's tom-mounting bracket mounted directly to the shell. This mounts to a CL-940 ball clamp that slides into the base of a double braced 800 series snare stand.

The CBXK2 is exceptionally versatile as well, featuring a Pitch Bend wheel, and two assignable controllers (Wheel and Slider) that provide compehensive MIDI control. You can even connect a footswitch to control various functions. Assignable Wheel and Slider With the Assignable Wheel and Slider, you can expressively change virtually any aspect of the sound on a connected tone generator. Other MIDI controls let you start and stop a connected sequencer, select songs, change tempo, select different voice banks and voices, and much, much more. Fully compatible with GM, XG, and the brilliant new Yamaha MU100R Tone Generator, the CBXK2 is the only keyboard you need to take full control of your music! Portable Music System - Live and Recording In this simple system, the CBXK2 plays the sounds of the QY70. The CBXK2 is perfect for live performance, because it's light, small, easy to use, and - with the velocity-sensitive, full-size keys - easy to play. Since the QY70 also features a built-in sequencer, you can use the CBXK2 to record (instead of the tiny micro keys on the QY70), entering musical parts and recording expressive changes to your music. What's more, the CBXK2 even runs on battery power. Small, Desktop Music System Because the CBXK2 packs such a wealth of performance and control features into an amazingly compact package, it's a natural for desktop music production. The CBXK2 can be used with any MIDI tone generator; however, with its MU100R Voice Map control and full XG-format implementation, it's a perfect match for the Yamaha MU100R Tone Generator. Use the versatile Assignable Wheel and Slider on the CBXK2 to expressively "tweak" a wide variety of sound and effect paramenters in real time. Record to the Computer Record your Wheel/Slider moves to the computer, to craft luscious, complex sonic textures you never dreamed possible before! MIDI Project Studio The CBXK2 is an ideal master keyboard and all-purpose MIDI controller for larger project studios as well. Integrated into a computer-based MIDI system - including the Yamaha MD8 Multitract MD Recorder and Yamaha A3000 Professional Sampler - the CBXK2 can be used to control various sequencer functions and settings. MIDI Merge Function The MIDI Merge function gives you enormous flexibility when routing the CBXK2 in your MIDI system. No other MIDI keyboard gives you such a comprehensive range of control features in such a portable easy-to-use instrument!  (less)

performing keyboard players and producers of contemporary music. FM Synthesis The PLG150-DX employs the same FM tone generations system - with 6 operators and 32 algorithms - as made famous by the popular DX-series synthesizers. 912 Preset Voices Built right into the PLG150-DX is a huge total of 912 DX voices. From conventional instrument sounds such as electric piano and bass to wild and unusual sound effects, the PLG150-DX gives you the full range of voices that made the DX-series instruments famous. 16-note Polyphony The PLG150-DX features a maximum polyphony of 16 voices, the same as on the DX7 and DX7II. However, unlike with those instruments, you can install multiple PLG150-DX boards (up to a maximum of eight) for a total polyphony of 128 notes. For example, when three PLG150-DX boards are installed to a MU128 tone generator, the maximum polyphony becomes 48 voices. Voice Data Transfer Since the PLG150-DX is compatible with the DX-series instruments, voice data can be transferred between the plug-in board and the DX7 or DX7II. This allows you to use those instruments (or compatible editing software) to edit and create voices, which can then be transferred to the PLG150-DX. The PLG150-DX is also compatible with voice parameters for the DX1, DX7S, TF1 modules (such as the TX816), TX7 and the TX802. * Some voices on the compatible devices mentioned above may sound slightly different when played on the PLG150-DX. Built-in Filters and Equalizer The PLG150-DX gives you additional sound-shaping power with built-in low pass and high pass filters, plus a two-band equalizer. You can use thee together with other FM voice parameters to create your own original voices.  (less)
