    THE DB50/SW60/MU10 GUIDE Written by : Nick Howes This guide also contains notes for developers & system programmers. ALL REFERENCES TO THE YAMAHA DB50 AND INSTALLATION DO NOT APPLY TO THE MU10 OR SW60XG/ SEPERATE SECTIONS WILL COVER THESE. ALL OF THE DATA AND SYSEX INFORMATION CONTAINED WITHIN THIS DOCUMENT IS RELATED TO THE XG SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY USED ON YAMAHA'S MU80/MU50/SW60/QS300/MU10 AND DB50 SOUND GENERATION SYSTEMS, THE VIEWS CONTAINED WITHIN ARE THAT OF THE AUTHOR, AND NOT NECESSARILY OF YAMAHA CORPORATION. THIS PROMOTIONAL DOCUMENT WAS COMPILED BY YAMAHA MEDIA TECHNOLOGY DIVISION Introduction The XG range from Yamaha and in particular the DB50XG has proved to be one of the most popular products that the company has released since the DX7, the unlimited power of the card coupled with the staggering cost has guaranteed overnight success. Here is a brief guide to getting the best out of the card The purpose of this guide is to enable you the user to get at all of the main features of the DB50, and to give a non technical introduction into the world of sound cards for the PC. It will also give some examples of data entry and a brief introduction into the world of system exclusive data. The DB50 is based upon a technology known as wavetable. Wavetable synthesis is where an acoustic sample of an instrument such as a piano is recorded using a microphone, and stored in the onboard wave rom of the card. Yamaha have designed the most successful synthesisers in history , and we are the worlds largest manufacturer of musical instruments with over 100 years of experience.
