The Store Mode; The Utility Mode - Yamaha TX 816 Owner's Manual

eight separate sections, each
with
a different voice;
or
overlap voices
in
any
combination.
This provides access
to
the
TF1
's
internal
memory. You
can
store
newly
edited
voices, or just their function
data,
in
any
of the
32 program
destinations
In
the
memory,
with
permanent
storage guaranteed by
the
back-up
battery (actually
re-
quires replacing
after
about 5
years).
Before
storing data, the
Memory
Protect
must
be switched
off.
After storing data, the
Memory
Protect should always be switched
on
again.
Sub-modes
within the Store
mode
have
the following functions:
(a)
SELECT
DESTINATION:
Select the
program
destination
in
which you
wish
to store a
newly
edited voice.
In this
way
you
can arrance the 32
voices
in
the TF1
to
exactly
suit
your performing
requirements.
THE STORE
MODE
(b)
STORE
VOICE
AND
FUNCTION:
Having
selected a destination
for
your
new
voice
and
its
accompanying
function
data, this
allows
you
to store this information
in
the
internal
memory.
(c)
STORE ONLY
FUNCTION:
You
can
also
choose
to store
only the function data
In
a selected
program
desti-
nation, without
affecting the voice data
stored
there.
This
is
useful
if
you want
to rapidly
change
the function data
of several voices;
for
example,
giving a group
of
voices the
same
portamento
setting.

As
the
name
suggests, the
Utility
mode
allows you
carry out various data- handling
THE
UTILITY
MODE
jobs, rather than create
new
data.
Sub-modes
within the
Utility
mode
have
the following functions:
(a)
DAMP
ALL VOICES
AND
FUNCTIONS:
All
of the voice and
function data
may
be
dumped
(output)
at
one
time through
the
MIDI
OUT
terminal
on
the
MIDI
rack frame. This could be used
for transferring
data
from
one
TF1 module
to another.
If
you
dump
data
into
the
internal
memory
of a
DX7
(in this case,
voice data only
will
be received)
it
can be
stored
In
a
RAM
(Random
Access Memory)
cartridge,
so
that
you can
then
create
new
voices
In
the
TX816. You
can
also
dump
voice data onto the floppy disk
in
a
QX1.
In
this
way, you
can
easily
and
inexpensively
build
up
a
library
of voices
that
will
expand
as
your musical requirements grow.
(b)
CLEAR AND
INTIALIZE
ALL FUNCTIONS:
Reduce
all
functions stored
in
the
memory
to their original setting
i.e.,
the value
they
are set
at
before leaving the
Yamaha
factory.
Each module
is
factory pro-
grammed
with the
same
voice
set as the
DX7.
In
the
TX81
6 and TX21
6,
however,
appropriate function data
is
also factory
programmed
for
each
voice.
A
table
In
the
UTILITY
MODE
chapter
lists
these functions
and
their
Initial
values.
You
could
use
this feature
after
you have
dumped
all
the function data from
a
module, and
wish
to
initialize
everything
prior to creating
a
new
set
of voices.
(c)
AUDIO CHECK:
An
audio check
feature that provides
a
standard
440 Hz
sine
wave
tone
at
-4
dBm.
Useful
for
checking system connections
and modules, and
setting levels
on
your
mixer
or tapedeck.
