Power Supply

Before making any other connections the "female" end of the AC power cord supplied with the FS1R should be
firmly plugged into the rear-panel AC cord socket. Ideally the power cord should then be plugged into a convenient
AC outlet after you've made all other necessary connections and placed the FS1R in the position in which it will be
used. Always make sure that the POWER switch is in the OFF (extended) position before plugging the power cord
into an AC outlet.
WARNING!
• Make sure your FS1R is rated for the AC voltage supplied in the area in which it is to be used (as listed on
the rear panel). Connecting the unit to the wrong AC supply can cause serious damage to the internal
circuitry and may even pose a shock hazard!
• Use only the AC power cord supplied with the FS1R. If the supplied cord is lost or damaged and needs to
be replaced, contact your Yamaha dealer. The use of an inappropriate replacement can pose a fire and
shock hazard!
• The type of AC power cord provided with the FS1R may be different depending on the country in which it is
purchased (a third prong may be provided for grounding purposes). Improper connection of the grounding
conductor can create the risk of electrical shock. Do NOT modify the plug provided with the FS1R. If the
plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Do not use a plug adapter
which defeats the grounding conductor.

MIDI Connections

The FS1R can be used with virtually any type of MIDI controller: keyboard, wind controller, sequencer, etc. To ensure
reliable error-free transfer of MIDI data always use high-quality MIDI cables obtained from your Yamaha dealer or
music equipment store. Also avoid MIDI cables that are longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this
can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
The FS1R MIDI receive channel number parameters are available via the PERFORMANCE PLAY and PART ASSIGN
mode displays (pages 22 and 24, respectively). Make sure these parameters are set to match the corresponding
settings of the MIDI controller used with the FS1R. See the MIDI Implementation Chart in the separate "Data List"
booklet, and the MIDI Data Format section beginning in the separate "Data List" booklet for details for the types of MIDI
data received and transmitted by the FS1R.

The [MIDI] icon in the FS1R display will appear whenever MIDI data is received by the FS1R.

When using the FS1R with other MIDI equipment, it is a good idea to refer to the MIDI specifications (implementation chart, MIDI data
format) of the equipment used to ensure compatibility.

Keyboard

This is the simplest type of setup you might use with the FS1R. Simply connect the MIDI OUT connector of the
keyboard to the MIDI IN connector on the FS1R with a MIDI cable. In this case you should set the PgmMode
parameter in the UTILITY/SYSTEM/MIDI group to "perform" (page 73).
