EX5 & EX5R Soundbanks
Online MP3 Demo Available! (See Below)
PATCHMAN MUSIC offers a brand new wind controller soundbank for the Yamaha EX5 and EX5R. This soundbank contains 128 VL Voices specially designed by wind controller expert Matt Traum to be controlled with a wind controller such as the Yamaha WX5, WX7, WX11, WindJamm'r, Akai EWI, EVI, EWI1000 / EVI1000, EWI5000, EWI4000s, EWI SOLO, Roland Aerophone, MDT, the Berglund NuEVI /NuRAD, Aodyo Sylphyo, Lekholm DM48, Softwind Synthophone, WARBL, Nyle Steiner MIDI EVI / EWI, and others. These highly expressive sounds are also great for keyboardists when used with a breath controller such as the Yamaha BC1, BC2, or BC3 plugged into a keyboard or module equipped with a breath controller input such as the EX5/EX5R, or plugged into a device such as the MIDI Solutions Breath Controller Box, Anatek Wind Machine, or with the TEControl series of breath controllers, MRT Audio Breath Controller, Kelfar Breath Controller, etc... Keyboardists can also enjoy the incredible expression of these special breath controlled sounds by assigning a knob, wheel, slider, or foot pedal to send MIDI CC#2.
NOTE: These sounds require a wind controller or breath controller for proper use.
This soundbank loads inside a Yamaha EX5 or EX5R synth- NOT inside a wind controller.
This soundbank is NOT compatible with the Yamaha EX7
Volume 1, "Best of VL", is the result of the frustration we felt in using the EX5 / EX5R with a wind controller. We wanted to simply play the built-in VL Elements with a wind controller. Unfortunately, the EX5 / EX5R is not wind-friendly out of the box even though it contains 256 VL Elements that could be used in an EX5 / EX5R Voice. So we carefully reviewed all 256 of the EX5's built-in VL Elements and chose 128 of the best, most responsive woodwind, brass, solo string, and exotic synth lead Elements. Then we programmed special breath-sensitive, wind controller-friendly Voices for each of these Elements. The result is a full bank of 128 wind controller Voices that can easily be loaded and played with your wind controller or breath controller. Please note that this soundbank utilizes only VL synthesis. No AWM, AN, or FDSP synthesis is used anywhere in this bank!
This soundbank was designed to allow you to take advantage
of the EX5 and EX5R's preset VL Elements very quickly and simply.
The Voices in this soundbank have been arranged in logical groupings
and categorized to allow you to quick access to the desired sound.
Additionally, all 128 Voices makes full use of the 6 Controller
Knobs for maximum realtime control. The 6 knobs are programmed
to allow you to adjust the reverb level, delay level, and early
reflection level, PLUS 3 bands of EQ! These 6 important parameters
are "brought up front" for fast access so you can quickly
customize the Voice to your musical situation. No more fumbling
at the gig to find the right edit page to tweak the reverb or
EQ!
If this native EX5 / EX5R soundbank isn't enough, it is also possible to load in up to 16 all-new VL70-m Elements via the MIDI cable by using the Mac or PC VL70-m Expert Editor software. PATCHMAN MUSIC offers two professional quality VL70-m soundbanks (purchased separately) that can be loaded with the Expert Editor software. Click here for details on how you can purchase our VL70-m soundbanks. When using the Expert Editor, we recommend using one of these EX5 / EX5R Volume 1 Voices as a template. This makes the process of loading and controlling new VL Elements very easy.
We hope you find these highly responsive sounds to be useful and enjoyable!

Customer Comments:
"Your new EX patches sound really, really good. I thought the horns were especially impressive; there were a number of sax patches that sounded as good as anything that I have heard - congratulations on the accomplishment of creating those sounds. I have done enough patch editing to know of the challenges inherent in it!"
"Yamaha made it rather difficult to use the VL synthesis in the EX5, and what you have done to make all of these VL patches so easily accessible is remarkable and heaven-sent. These are awesome breath controlled sounds. Now that I know what VL synthesis is all about, I look forward to getting a TURBO VL70-m from you in the near future. Thank you for making this available!"
"So how the hell did they get those great sounds... especially the bowed strings?"
"Matt, got my patches from you and finally got to experiment with them this past weekend. All I can say is WOW, you did a fantastic job and my friends know I am not an easy person to please. And you say the vl70 turbo chip is even better, I can only imagine. The EX5R is a very large unit and at some point in the future, I will pick up a vl70. Thanks again for you services and expertise."
"These sounds are amazing... the cello is fantastic and the wind instruments are the best I've heard. But I'm kind of a conniseur of this stuff..."
"Wow! What a great collection of sounds! The strings I found particularly fantastic, but all were so much better than anything I have ever heard."
"The horns, clarinets and trumpets are much better than the presets... and the cello is just fabulously great."
"I'm quite happy with them and I got my BC yesterday."
