Yamaha ST5 Digital
Effect System for Wind Instruments
The new ST5 Silent Brass Performance Studio
offers sax players a complete effects rack that won't strain their
backs or their bank account.
FEATURES

New sonic possibilities for sax players
| The ST5's
ability to add a variety of effects and shape the tonal
qualities of the sound received via a microphone enables the
ST5 to deliver expanded sonic capabilities that stretch the
limits of current musical genres. |
Auto tuner
| The tuner
function can be set according to the instrument's
transposition and the desired pitch calibration (from
A=438Hz to A=4455Hz). Once those parameters are set, the
tuner will automatically find the note being played and will
tell how flat or sharp it is. |
32 effects program
| The ST5 has 32
effects programs for nearly every sonic effect that can be
produced in a studio. The player can choose from a wide
range of effects, including delay, chorus, flanger, filter,
auto-wah, overdrive, distortion, pitch-shifting, limiter,
etc. |
Metronome and drum patterns
| The metronome
mode has 34 different tempo settings in four different
subdivision patterns to facilitate practice in nearly any
time signature. The ST5 also has ten different drum
patterns, ranging from an 8-beat shuffle to funk to bossa
nova and samba patterns. |
Phrase trainer
| This practice
aid allows the repeated playback of a phrase of up to 16
seconds long (maximum) that has been recorded from an
external source or even from the player's own instrument.
Playback speed can be slowed down without affecting the
pitch. |
Aux key function
| This great
practice aid transposes the sound received from a CD/MD
player, etc. connected to the Aux In jack to a different
key. The player is able to play along with their favorite
song in any key they'd like. |
Portable
| The ST5 has
almost all of the effects one would find in a studio effects
rack contained in one small, easy to use and easy to carry
package that won't break your back or your wallet. |
Backlight display and value dial
| The ST5 has a
back-lit display that can be turned on or off, making it
easier to see on stage (or any other place where the
lighting may be less than ideal). The large value dial
allows the player quick access to any program or setting. |
50 preset and user programs
| The user has
access to 50 preset programs that utilize many combinations
of the different effects and 50 user programs to which
customized settings can be saved.
Accessories
Supplied with batteries, power adaptor and soft case
with belt clip.

Subject: Yamaha ST5 + mic
I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the really
helpful advice you gave when I enquired about information on amps & mics for
saxophones. The advice you gave was spot on. As a result I purchased a Laney
CP12 P.A. amp with 12" speaker from a local store in Birmingham and then bought
the Yamaha ST5 with mic from yourselves. The whole set up is great and I love
the sound effects from the ST5. All in all an extremely happy customer. Be
sure that I will recommend your business to all that ask! My Best Regards
to you all, Steve Bland
