About Bluetooth

Bluetooth capability
Depending on the country in which you purchased the product, the
instrument may not have Bluetooth capability.
If the Bluetooth logo is printed on the control panel, this means that the
product is equipped with Bluetooth functionality.
• Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of about 10 meters
(33 ft.) employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
 Handling Bluetooth communications
• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types of
equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology minimizing the influence of other
components using the same radio band, such influence may reduce the speed or distance of
communications and in some cases interrupt communications.
• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible differs according to the
distance between the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave conditions and the
type of equipment.
• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices compatible with
Bluetooth function.

GM System Level 2
"GM (General MIDI)" is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. "GM System Level 2" is a standard
specification that enhances the original "GM" and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased
polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.
XG
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide
more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of
data well into the future.
GS
GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM
specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices
and effects.
