YAMAHA's LSI NSX-1- specification (English)
YAMAHA's open source sample apps for NSX-1 (Japanese)
Note: In order to use these applications for NSX-1, you must switch Pocket Miku to "NSX-1 mode" by pushing 3 + 8 + 9 simultaneously.
- NSX-1 has 16 MIDI channels and Pocket Miku Voice is fixed to channel 1, so you can actually use other channels as GM voice set.
- NSX-1 has Reverb x 29 types, Chorus x 24 types, Insertion x 181 types and Master EQ (5 bands), so you can use those effects.
- You can customize the buttons using system exclusive message.
