YRM15 (101)

1983 (Nov.)Initially sold for ¥7,800 Features: • Music composition with up to 8 separate parts can be performed automatically. Different voices can be used for each separate part, and changed at any time, permitting full orchestration control. • Notes are entered from either the CX5M ASCII keyboard or from the YamahaYK01,YK10orYK20music keyboards. The external keyboard facilitates easier note entry, and also permits keyboard accompaniment of "automatic" performances (performances which are electronically "recorded" and "played" by the computer). • Notation for dynamics (crescendo, decrescendo, etc.) and tempo (ritardando, atempo, etc.) is entered from the computer keyboard, enabling a wide range of expressive control. • The FM music composer can be used for automatic performance whereby compositions are played back on Yamaha's DX synthesizers and other MIDI compatible instruments. • The full music score, along with all performance control data, can be converted to "hard copy" (printed out) with a suitable MSX-compatible external printer and/or saved on cassette tape.
