Using Your PF-1000 with Other Devices

PF-1000
6 Using the Pedal (footswitch)
or Foot Controller (AUX
PEDAL jack)
By connecting an optional Foot Controller (such as the
FC7) to the AUX PEDAL jack, you can control any one of
a variety of important functions with your foot — such as
dynamically adjusting the volume as you play (page 128).
By connecting a Foot Switch (the FC4 or FC5) to this jack,
you can replicate the function of some panel buttons,
doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment.
7 Connecting external MIDI
devices (MIDI terminals)
Using a standard MIDI cable, connect the external MIDI
device to the MIDI terminal(s) of the PF-1000. Make sure
to set the HOST SELECT switch (page 18) to MIDI when
you use these connectors. For more information about
connections, see “What You Can Do With MIDI” on
page 147.
MIDI IN........... Receives MIDI messages from an
external MIDI device
MIDI OUT ....... Sends out MIDI messages generated by
the PF-1000
MIDI THRU ..... Simply relays the MIDI messages
received at MIDI IN
For a general overview of MIDI and how you can
effectively use it, refer to the following sections:
What’s MIDI? (page 145)
What You Can Do With MIDI (page 147)
• MIDI functions (page 134)
8 Connecting to a Computer
(MIDI terminals/TO HOST
terminal)
Connect your PF-1000 to computer and take advantage of
the wide range of powerful and versatile software for
creating and editing music. The PF-1000 can be
connected in three ways.
Using the TO HOST terminal
Using the MIDI terminals
Connecting to a USB terminal by using an optional
USB interface (UX series)
Make sure to connect or disconnect the pedal only when the power
is turned off.
CAUTION
Never use MIDI cables longer than 15 meters.
Note for Windows users (regarding MIDI
driver)
To transfer data via the computer’s serial port and the
PF-1000’s TO HOST terminal, you need to install a
specified MIDI driver (Yamaha CBX driver for
Windows). You can download this driver from the XG
Library on the Yamaha Web site:
http://www.yamaha-xg.com
Yo u ll need an appropriate music/MIDI software program (such
as a sequencer), compatible with your computer platform.
When connecting the PF-1000 to a personal computer, rst turn
off the power to both the PF-1000 and the computer before con-
necting any cables and setting the HOST SELECT switch. After
making the proper connections and settings, turn on the power of
the computer rst, then that of the PF-1000.
If you do not use the TO HOST terminal of the PF-1000, make
sure you disconnect the cable from the terminal. If the cable is
left connected, the PF-1000 may not function properly.
When the HOST SELECT switch is set to PC-1, PC-2, or
Mac, you can use the TO HOST terminal, but the MIDI connec-
tors are disabled since no data transfer occurs via the MIDI con-
nectors. On the other hand, when the HOST SELECT switch is
set to MIDI, you can use the MIDI connectors, but not the TO
HOST terminal since no data is transferred via the TO HOST ter-
minal.
