On Your Own - Yamaha MU100 Owner's Manual

On Your Own...

If you want to, try making changes to some of the other Part controls. The
procedure is the same:
1) Select a Part with the [PART -/+] buttons.
2) Select a control for editing with the [SELECT </>] buttons.
3) Change the setting with the [VALUE -/+] buttons or data dial.
4) Use the [EXIT] button as needed to return to "home base" — Voice
name and number.
Hint
• You can easily edit the same control for different Parts. To do this, simply remain
at the selected control and use the [PART - / + ] buttons to change the Part to be
edited.
• Setting different Parts to the same MIDI channel is a way to build "fat," richly
textured sounds — like the four-Voice sounds created in the Performance mode.
The advantage to this method here is that you are not limited to four Voices. The
disadvantage is that you can only create and use one of these "monster" sounds
at a time. (However, you can store/load your Multi mode settings to/from a com-
puter or data filer; see page 33.)
To do this:
1) Select the desired Part (by using the [PART - / + ] buttons).
2) Select the Receive Channel ("Rcv CH") control (by using the [SELECT < / > ]
buttons).
3) Set the Receive Channel value (by using the [VALUE - / + ] buttons or data dial).
4) With the Receive Channel still selected, select a different Part (with the [PART -
/ + ] buttons), and set it to the same value as the other Part.
5) Repeat step #4 above for as many other Parts as desired.
For example, if you've set both Parts 1 and 2 to MIDI channel 1, both of their "level
meters" should move together as you play. And, if the two Parts are set to different
Voices, you should hear two different Voices sound at the same time. (For instruc-
tions on changing the Voice for a Part, refer back to "Selecting and Playing Indi-
vidual Voices" on page 42.)
For more information on the specific Part controls, see page 96.
All Part Controls
The instructions in this section show you how to change the settings for indi-
vidual Parts; these are the Single Part Controls. The All Part Controls, on the
other hand, let you change certain global settings affecting all Parts.
To select the All Part Controls, simultaneously press both [PART -/+] but-
tons. (For more information on the All Part Controls, see page 98.)
