MIDI APPLICATIONS
1. BASIC MIDI SYSTEM
(PIANO plus YS100 SYNTHESIZER)
In this example, the piano is used to play the Yamaha YS100
Digital Synthesizer, allowing you to add rich orchestral or instru-
mental voices or exciting synth-type voices to the sound of your
piano. Connect the MIDI OUT of your piano to the MIDI IN of
your YS100. The YS100 will respond to your playing as sensi-
tively as does the piano, and you can select whether or not the
Y $100 responds to the piano's foot pedals. A volume pedal may
be used to independently control the YS100's volume, which
may be listened to through the piano's internal speakers (using
the LINE IN audio connections on the piano).

2. EXPANDED SYNTH SYSTEM
(PIANO plus TQS plus RX8)
This svstem, using the TQS tone generator/sequencer, allows
you not only to add other voices and percussion accompaniments
to the piano's voice, but to record and play back multi-part music
on the TQS Digital Tone Generator/Sequencer, which controls
its own and the piano's voices as well as synchronizing the RX8.
The piano's Omni function should be turned off, to avoid receiv-
ing data on unwanted MIDI channels.
The RX8 can be pro-
grammed to add full rhythm and percussion parts to songs, kept
in perfect time by the TQ5's sequencer section.

3. FULL MIDI SEQUENCER SYSTEM
(PIANO, QXSFD,
TX81Z and RX8)
Using this high-potential MIDI system, full professional-quality
musical performances can be created, stored on diskette and
replayed using the QX5FD to control all the other components of
the system. Different parts can be recorded on separate tracks of
the QXSFD, and replayed on different MIDI channels for full
multi-timbral polyphonic performances.
In addition, with the
QXSFD, transposition, tempo changes within pieces, and full
editing functions on recorded performances are all possible. The
TX81Z can be played from the piano keyboard to give combina-
tions of up to eight sounds simultaneously with 8-note polyph-
ony, so the resources of a full digital orchestra and/or synth
effects are at your fingertips.
To round off the system, the
incredibly versatile and realistic RX8 rhythm programmer is
used to add sparkling drums and percussion to the music.
