Yamaha YPP-35 Owner's Manual page 15

(*1)Note: Local Control On/Off: Normally, the
YPP-35's keyboard is connected to its internal sound
module, which means that when you play, a sound
is output from the instrument, and when you select
a different voice, the sound changes. This state is
called "Local Control On". However, if desired, the
YPP-35 сап be set to "Local Control Off". in this
state, the keyboard is disconnected from the sound
module, which means that if you play something, a
sound will not be produced from the instrument
itself, but your performance can be transmitted via
MIDI to an external instrument.
- Setting to Local Control Off
While holding down the MIDI(TRANSPOSE button,
press Voice Select button PIANO 1. To return the
YPP-35 to Local Control On, repeat the same pro-
cedure.
One of the most exciting features of the YPP-35 is
thatitis capable of playing all of its eight voices at the
same time. This feature is called Multi-timbre, and
is most useful when using the YPP-35 as a Slave
from a sequencer.
The YPP-35 has two play modes: Normal and Multi-
timbre. When the instrument is turned on, it is
always in Normal mode, that is, you play a single
voice on the keyboard. When in Multi-timbre mode,
however, the YPP-35 will act as ten independent
sound modules, with all 8 preset voices available for
use in an ensemble performance.
- Entering Multi-timbre mode
While holding down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button,
press the HARPSICHORD Voice Select button. To
exit from Multi-timbre mode, repeat the same op-
eration once again.
Now, try using the YPP-35 in Multi-timbre mode with
a sequencer(*).
* To best use the YPP-35 in Multi-timbre mode, you will
need a Master device which can control other devices
with different MIDI channels at the same time. This could
be a sequencer, MIDI-equipped personal computer, or
MIDI master keyboard.
The following diagram relates to a Hand-Shaking
connection between a YPP-35 and a sequencer.
Try going quickly through the following steps, to
become familiar with the use of Multi-timbre mode.
The object is to record an ensemble performance of
several parts onto the sequencer, then play it back
with each part sounding in a different YPP-35 voice.

Step 1: Set the YPP-35 in Multi-timbre mode.
Step 2: Ensure the YPP-35 is set to Local Control
On and the sequencer to Echo Off, or the YPP-35 to
Local Control Off and the sequencer to Echo On.
Remember the notes on page 12.
Step 3: Selecta MIDI transmitting channel from 1-
10(*) on the YPP-35, then select the voice you
desire. You should set the transmitting channel
before playing, so that the sequencer will receive all
the information, via MIDI channel message, regarding
voice, touch, sustain, etc.
* Іп Multi-timbre mode, the YPP-35's sound module сап
receive MIDI messages in channels 1-10. MIDI messages
in channels 11-16 cannot control the YPP-35's sound
module. Additionally, when you enter Multi-timbre mode,
preset voices are automatically assigned to MIDI chan-
nels, as shown in the following chart:
Channel 1: PIANO 1
Channel 2: PIANO 2
Channel 3: E. PIANO
Channel 4: HARPSICHORD
Channel 5: VIBES
Channel 6: STRINGS
Channel 7: CHOIR
Channel 8: PIPE ORGAN
Channel 9: PIANO 1
Channelt0: PIANO 2
Step 4: Play one of the ensemble parts on the
keyboard, pedalling as needed, and record it onto
one of the tracks of the sequencer. You may, of
course, change voices during play.
Step 5: Repeat Steps З and 4 as needed. In each
case, selectthe appropriate MIDI channel (according
to the voice desired for that part) before Step 3, and
in Step 4, record onto a new track or overdub onto
previously recorded tracks.
Step 6: Play back the completed ensemble per-
formance from the sequencer. You will hear the
different voices, corresponding to the different parts
of the ensemble, played out simultaneously.
