FEATURES
The OX5 offers an unprecedented array of features in a compact unit, just the right size for placing on top of a
keyboard, and is the same width as the TX7 Tone Generator and RX21 Rhythm Programmer for easy stacking.
8 tracks (p. 2) and 32 macros (p. 3) give you great versatility in your composing
and arranging.
You can record approximately 20,000 notes (15,000 when recording velocity data).
Recording controller data (Aftertouch, etc.) will also use memory.
Tempo changes can be inserted at any point.
Three measure positions can be stored and jumped to at the touch of a switch.
Recording can be set to automatically begin from a certain measure.
You can set recording to begin and end at specified measures.
A MIDI keyboard and the OX5 pane! switches can be used to enter complex phrases
note by note.

MIDI reception and transmission conditions and QX5 settings can be set and stored
in 4 memories for instant recall.
Each incoming and outgoing channel of MIDI messages can be independently
re-assigned to a different channel.
An FSK tape sync signal can be recorded on tape to synchronize the QX5 with a
multitrack recording.
The two-line 16-character LCD is backlit for easy visiblity even in dim lighting.
Sequence data can be saved to and loaded from a data cassette tape or a MIDI
data managing device.
