Example 2: Using the YPP-35 with a drum ma-
chine
Ifyou have a MIDI-compatible rhythm/drum machine,
use itas a Slave of the YPP-35. After matching МО!
channels, play the YPP-35 keyboard. Now you can
have various percussion sounds at your fingertips.
Playing a key on the YPP-35 will transmit a specific
MID! Note Number to the drum machine, which
reproduces the percussion sound corresponding to
it.
Here's another idea: If your drum machine includes
a melody instrument such as bass or vibraphone,
you can access this sound from the YPP-35. First,
look up the MIDI receiving channel assigned for
controlling the sound. Then, set both instruments to
this channel. You can now play the drum machine's
melody instrument sound from the YPP-35. If you
wish, you can accompany your performance with a
rhythmic pattern (start/stopped locally on the drum
machine). Your entire performance can be inputinto
the drum machine as rhythm data.

Example 3: Using the YPP-35 with a sequencer
(and other keyboards)
Knowing how to use the YPP-35 effectively with a
sequencer makes you a MIDI pro!
After you've recorded all the parts of your perfor-
mance on the sequencer, you'll want to play back
your ensemble, with each part matched (via MIDI
channels) to the appropriate instrument or sound
module. Say you've recorded a two-part ensemble,
cello and flute, on MIDI channels 1 and 2, each
channel matched to a separate instrument or sound
module in your MIDI system (instruments A and Bin
the Diagram below). When you play back the
ensemble, you may wish to experiment with the
sounds. Here's one thing you can try: putthe YPP-
35 (one of the Slaves in your setup) in OMNI ON
Mode, and select the voice you wish, say PIANO 1.
Thus, the YPP-35 will receive performance data in
both of MIDI channels 1 and 2, and so will play back
both parts in PIANO 1 voice, as a complement to the
cello and flute sounds from instruments A and B.
* Another use of OMNI ON Mode is for checking the
contents of an unlabelled performance data disk whose
MIDI channels are unspecified. After loading the data
into the sequencer, transmit it from the sequencer to the
YPP-35 in OMNI ON Mode. Regardless of the MIDI
channels to which the data was assigned, the YPP-35 in
OMNI ON Mode will play it back.

If you set up a Hand-Shaking connection between
the YPP-35 and the sequencer, there are two things
to be noted:
* И Ше sequencer is set to transmit the same MIDI infor-
mation as received at its MIDI IN jack (This is called
"Echo On", "Soft Thru On", etc., depending on the
make), set the YPP-35 to "Local Control Off "(*1). If you
fail to do this, pressing a single key will sound twice as
many notes as in normal play. As a result, it will reduce
the polyphonic notes you can play at a time.
* Conversely, when the sequencer is set to "Echo Off"
("Soft Thru Off", etc.), you cannot play directly from the
keyboard with the YPP-35 In Local Control Off, because
the sequencer doesn't retransmit any received MIDI
data. In this case, you have to set the YPP-35 to Local
Control On, which enables you to control the sound
module from either the keyboard or the sequencer.
