Selecting Voices From A Midi Keyboard - Yamaha MU128 Owner's Manual

About the Parts and Voices of the MU128

Selecting Voices From a MIDI Keyboard

You can also select Voices remotely from a connected MIDI keyboard.
Though the actual operation may differ depending on the keyboard used, the
general procedure is the same. These instructions also apply to use with a
computer. (Refer to the owner's manual of your specific instrument or soft-
ware for detailed instructions.)
Operation
1 Make the necessary settings on the keyboard.
Make sure that the keyboard is set to transmit over the desired
MIDI channel (the same as that of the selected Part), and that it
is set up to send Program Change messages.
2 Select a program number on the keyboard.
The Voice number and name on the MU128 will change, and
will be the same number as the program number you selected
on your keyboard.
Details
• Depending on what keyboard you are using to control the MU128, you may
need to be careful in selecting program numbers. The MU128's program num-
bers start at "001," but some keyboards have different numbering systems. For
example, some start at "0" — which means that selecting "25" on the keyboard
will select Voice 026 on the MU128.
• Parts 10, 26, 42 and 58 are reserved for playing drum "kits." This is the default
factory setting for all of the Multi modes (XG and TG300B). For more informa-
tion on drum Parts, see page 65.
