The Multi-Timbre Mode

The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the Personal

Electronic Piano voices can be independently controlled on

different MIDI channel numbers (1 through 10) by an external

MIDI device such as the Yamaha EMQ-1 Memory Box.

The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows:

Hold down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button.

2. Press the VIBES voice selector. If the VIBES LED is lit when

the VIBES voice selector is pressed, you have turned the

Multi-Timbre mode ON. If the VIBES LED is not lit when

the VIBES voice selector is pressed, you have turned the

Multi-Timbre mode OFF.

Release the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button.

Here’s an example of how you could

use the Multi-Timbre

mode to record three different parts on the EMQ-1 Memory

Box that will play different voices on the Personal Electronic

Piano when played back.

1. Connect the EMQ-1 to the Personal Electronic Piano as

shown below.

2. Select the first voice and MIDI transmit channel number,

then record the first part on the EMQ-1.

3. Activate the Personal Electronic Piano Multi-Timbre mode,

then select a new MIDI transmit channel and voice and record

the second part on the EMQ-1 using its overdubbing function.

4. While still in the Multi-Timbre mode, select the third MIDI

transmit channel and voice and record the third part on the

EMQ-1 using its overdubbing function.

5. Still in the Multi-Timbre mode, play back the EMQ-1. The

recorded parts will be played back using the individual voices

selected during recording, providing a full ensemble sound.

The Split & Left Local OFF Mode

In the split mode one section of the Personal Electronic Piano

keyboard is used to play a Personal Electronic Piano voice in

the normal way, while the remaining section is used to play a

second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha

EMT-1 FM Sound Box or EMT-10 AWM Sound Box. In this

mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play

an internal Personal Electronic Piano voice, while the left-hand

section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone

generator. Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard pro-

duces no sound from the Personal Electronic Piano. The “split

point,”

or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections

of the keyboard, is automatically set at F#

The split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a

piano (Personal Electronic Piano) voice with the right hand

while playing a synthesizer bass line or string section with the

left hand.

When the split mode is activated, notes played on the left-

hand section are transmitted via the Personal Electronic Piano

MIDI OUT connector on MIDI channel 2. Notes played on the

right-hand section are transmitted on the “basic channel” (i.e.

the channel set using the MIDI channel selection function des-

cribed previously). Damper pedal data is sent via both channels.

Activating the Split & Left Local OFF Mode

Hold down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button.

Press the STRINGS voice selector. If the STRINGS LED is

lit when the STRINGS voice selector is pressed, you have

turned the Split & Left Local OFF mode ON. If the STRINGS

LED is not tit when the STRINGS voice selector is pressed,

you have turned the Split & Left Local OFF mode OFF.

Release the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button.

The Split & Right Local Off Mode

In the YPP-50 either the right- or left-hand section of the key-

board can be assigned to control an external keyboard or tone

generator. Assigning the left-hand section to external tone gener-

ator control was described in the previous section. To assign

the right-hand section to external tone generator control while

playing the Personal Electronic Piano voices with the left hand,

press the BRASS voice selector instead of the STRINGS voice

selector when activating the Split mode (See “Activating the

Split & Left Local OFF Mode” in the previous section). All

other operations are exactly the same as described in the pre-

vious section.

Transmitting the Panel Settings

This function causes all the current Personal Electronic Piano

control settings (selected voice, etc) to be transmitted via the

MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be

recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder* which

will be used to control the Personal Electronic Piano on play-

back. By transmitting the Personal Electronic Piano panel set-

tings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior

to the actual performance data, the Personal Electronic Piano

will be automatically restored to the same settings when the

performance is played back.

The Yamaha EMQ-1 Memory Box automatically receives and

records the Personal Electronic Piano panel settings when a record-

ing is begun, so this function is most useful with MIDI sequence

recorders other

than the EMQ-1.

Hold down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button.

Press the P.ORGAN voice selector.

Release the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button.
