Controllers - Yamaha SY99 Owner's Manual

UTILITY MODE
Remarks: When playing the sound of an instrument
such as organ or harpsichord that normally does
not respond to key velocity, it may be effective
to use a fixed velocity value. A similar result
could be achieved by setting all velocity sensi-
tivity parameters of the voice to 0. In fact this is
preferable since it will leave all other voices at
their normal velocity settings.
SYSTEM UTILITY
Summary: The MODULATION 2 wheel and an op-
tional footswitch connected to the FOOT SWITCH
jack will transmit data using the MODI control
number you specify. Also, the controller hold
function can be set to prevent the resetting of
modulation and other parameters affected by

controllers.

Procedure:
From: system utility job directory (JUMP #800)
Select: 03:Controllers
Specify: the MIDI control number for each
assignable controller
Assignable Foot Switch (1...120): An optional
foot switch connected to the rear panel FOOT
SWITCH jack will transmit control messages
of the type you specify here.
Assignable Wheel (1...120): The MODULATION 2
wheel located at the left of the SY99 keyboard
will transmit control messages of the type you
specify here.
Press F1 (Foot) or F2 (Whl) to move the cursor

Remarks: The settings in Voice Common job
12. Controllers (JUMP #226, #227, #228) deter-
mine the type of control message by which each
parameter will be controlled. If you want to use
an assignable controller to control the SY99's
voices, make sure that the MIDI control number
you assign matches the MIDI control number
selected for the parameter you want to control.

3. Controllers
(JUMP #803)
The velocity curve setting affects only the
SY99's internal tone generator, and will be
effective for notes received from MIDI IN as
well as notes played on the SY99 keyboard.
This setting has no effect on the note messages
transmitted from MIDI OUT.
If you want to assign the MODULATION 2
wheel or the FOOT SWITCH to control external
MIDI equipment and not affect the SY99's tone
generator, use a MIDI control number that is not
used in Voice Common job 12. Controllers (JUMP
#226, #227, #228). Refer to the MIDI implemen-
tation chart in the manuals for your other devices
to leam how each device reacts to incoming
MIDI control data. The official MIDI standard
defines the use of the following control change
messages.
Control change numbers 000 and 032 are
used by the Bank Select message, and cannot be
selected.
