MX49/MX61 Reference Manual

Using the MX49/MX61 Manuals

Your MX49/MX61 synthesizer comes with four different reference guides—the Owner’s Manual, the Reference Manual (this document), the

Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List. While the Owner’s Manual is packaged together with the synthesizer as a hardcopy booklet,

this Reference Manual, Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List are provided as PDF documents on the bundled CD-ROM.

Owner’s Manual (hardcopy booklet)

Describes how to set up your MX49/MX61 and how to perform basic operations. It also has some useful, informative appendices for

the instrument. This manual explains the following operations.

Reference Manual (this PDF document)

Describes the internal design of your MX49/MX61, how to use a connected computer, and all parameters that can be adjusted and set.

Synthesizer Parameter Manual (PDF document)

Explains the voice parameters, effect types, effect parameters, and MIDI messages that are used for synthesizers incorporating the

Yamaha AWM2 sound generators. Read the Owner’s Manual and Reference Manual first and then use this parameter manual, if

necessary, to learn more about parameters and terms that relate to Yamaha synthesizers.

Data List (PDF document)

Provides lists such as the Voice List, Performance List, Arpeggio Type List, Effect Type List, as well as reference materials such as

the MIDI Implementation Chart and Remote Control Function List.

Performance

A Performance is typically made up of multiple Voices, allowing you to sound them together in various ways. For

example, you can play a richly textured sound on the keyboard by combining two Voices (of Parts 1 and 2), or play

multiple Parts simultaneously by using an external sequencer or MIDI data. This section explains all the Performance

parameters, divided into six categories (Performance Play, Performance Select, Performance Part Select, Performance

Edit, Performance Job, and Performance Store).

Performance Play

This corresponds to the top or main display of the instrument. In this display, you can select/play Part 1 or Part 2, play

different Voices of Parts 1 and 2 together in a layer (Layer function), or play one Voice of Part 2 with your left hand while

you play a different Voice of Part 1 with your right (Split function).

1 Performance number

The selected Performance number is always displayed in this three-digit display. When editing Performance

parameters, a dot (.) is shown in the lower right of the screen. This provides a quick conﬁrmation that the current

Performance has been modiﬁed but not yet stored. When you want to store the current status, execute the Performance

Store function (page 56).

2 Voic e o f Part 1

3 Voic e o f Part 2

Indicates/determines the Voice assigned to Parts 1 and 2 of the selected Performance. The Voice category, Voice

number, Voice name are displayed in order from left to right. User Voices are indicated by a “u” mark at the beginning of

the Voice name. When a category contains User Voices, the User Voices are listed after the Preset Voices of the

category. A cursor (

) is displayed between the Voice category and number of the selected Part.

(Edit) indicator

When the Voice assigned to Part 1 or Part 2 has been modiﬁed, this indicator appears to the right of the Voice name.

This gives a quick conﬁrmation that the Voice has been modiﬁed but not yet stored. When you want to store the current

status, execute the Voice Store function (page 53).

5 Keyboard icon

When playing the keyboard, this icon appears to the right of the Part that is currently sounding. When the Layer function

is active, this icon appears to the right of both Parts, since both Parts will sound. When the Split function is active, the

icon appears at Part 1 when you play the right side of the keyboard (right of the Split Point; page 45), and appears at

Part 2 when you play the left side.

Operation

Call up Performance Play display by pressing [EXIT] repeatedly  Select Part 1/2 with Cursor [u]/[d]

buttons  Select Voice with [DATA] dial.
