In such a case, you may find it convenient to have the instrument automatically load the appropriate files for you when you turn it on, so you can easily resume your editing session.
  • Page 103: Connecting To External Audio Equipment

    Connecting the MO to external devices Connections Connecting to External Audio Equipment Since the MO has no built-in speakers, you’ll need an external audio system or a set of stereo headphones to properly monitor it. Alternatively, you could use a pair of headphones. There are several methods of connecting to external audio equipment, as described in the following illustrations.
  • Page 104: Connecting External Midi Instruments

    Connections Connecting External MIDI Instruments Using a standard MIDI cable (optional), you can connect an external MIDI device, and control it from the MO. Likewise, you can use an external MIDI device (such as a keyboard or sequencer) to control the sounds on the MO. This section introduces several different applications of MIDI.
  • Page 105: Volume

    Splitting the sound between the MO and an external tone generator by MIDI channel (Part 1) Using the connection example shown above, you can play both instruments and have them separately sound different parts—for example, having your keyboard performance sound the external instrument while the Song/Pattern plays the sounds of the MO. Check the following points.
  • Page 106: Mixing]

    MTC (MIDI Time Code) allows simultaneous synchronization of multiple audio devices via standard MIDI cables. It includes data corresponding to hours, minutes, seconds, and frames. The MO does not transmit MTC. An instrument such as the Yamaha AW2400 is necessary as an MTC master.
  • Page 107: Connecting To A Computer

    Controlling an MTR by using MMC transmitted from the MO You can control the start/stop and fast forward/rewind of the MMC-compatible MTR from the SEQ TRANSPORT buttons on the front panel of the MO, outputting MMC messages via MIDI. SEQ TRANSPORT LOCATE MMC (MIDI Machine Control) allows remote control of multitrack recorders, MIDI sequencers, etc.
  • Page 108 Connections Thru Port Setting MIDI ports can be used to divide playback among multiple synthesizers, as well as expand the MIDI channel capacity beyond sixteen. In the example below, a separate synthesizer connected to the MO is played by MIDI data via port 5, as set in the ThruPort parameter with the following operation.
  • Page 109 Local On/Off—when Connected to a Computer When connecting this synthesizer to a computer, the keyboard performance data is generally sent to the computer, and then returned from the computer to play the tone generator block. If the Local Control in the Utility mode is set to “on,” a “double” sound may result, since the tone generator is receiving performance data from both the keyboard directly and the computer.

Internal Structure (System Overview) This synthesizer is made up of several blocks, as shown here.
  • Page 129: Tone Generator Block

    AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) is a synthesis system based on sampled waves (sound material), and is used in many Yamaha synthesizers. For extra realism, each AWM2 Voice uses multiple samples of a real instrument’s waveform. Furthermore, a wide variety of parameters—envelope generator, filter, modulation, and others—can be applied.

  • Page 132 Internal Structure (System Overview) Normal Voice and Drum Voice Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument-type sounds that can be played over the range of the keyboard. Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard.
  • Page 133 Filter [VOICE] Voice selection [EDIT] Element selection/ Drum Key selection [F3] FILTER This unit modifies the tone of the sound output from Pitch by cutting the output of a specific frequency portion of the sound. Cutoff Frequency and Resonance Here’s how filters work. In the example below (a low pass filter), a portion of the signal lower than a given frequency is allowed to pass, and signals above that frequency are cut.
  • Page 134 Internal Structure (System Overview) Amplitude [VOICE] Voice selection [EDIT] Drum Key selection [F4] AMP This unit controls the output level (amplitude) of the sound output from the Filter block. The signals are then sent at this level to the Effect block. Also, by setting the AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator), you can control how the volume changes over time.
  • Page 135 Part structure of the Tone Generator block The MO plays the sounds in its tone generator block in response to MIDI messages received from external controllers or sequencer. The MIDI messages are assigned to sixteen independent channels, and the instrument is capable of simultaneously playing sixteen separate Parts, via the sixteen MIDI channels.
  • Page 136: Sequencer Block

    Internal Structure (System Overview) Sequencer Block This block lets you create Songs and Patterns by recording and editing your performances as MIDI data (from the controller block), then playing it back with the tone generator block. The sequencer block can be operated in the Song mode, in the Pattern mode, and with the Arpeggio feature.
  • Page 137 Song Mixing Even if you record your keyboard performance to a Song track, the setup data (non-note events such as voice, pan, volume) which for proper playback should be recorded at the top of the Song will not be recorded to it. For this reason, the setup data handled as Song Mixing settings should be stored in the Song Mixing Store mode.
  • Page 138 Internal Structure (System Overview) Pattern Mixing Even if you record your keyboard performance to a Pattern track, the setup data (non-note events such as voice, pan, volume) which for proper playback should be recorded at the top of the Pattern will not be recorded to it. For this reason, the setup data handled as Pattern Mixing settings should be stored in the Pattern Mixing Store mode.
  • Page 139 Loop Recording (Pattern) [PATTERN] [REC] (Record) [F1] SETUP Pattern repeats the rhythm pattern of several measures (1 to 256 measures) in a “loop,” and its recording is also done using loops. This method is used when recording a Pattern Phrase using the Overdub method (above).
  • Page 140: Effect Block

    Internal Structure (System Overview) Effect Block This block applies effects to the output of the tone generator block, processing and enhancing the sound using sophisticated DSP (digital signal processing) technology. Effect structure The effect processing of this synthesizer features the System Effects, Insertion Effects, Master Effect, Part EQ (Equalizer), and Master EQ (Equalizer).
  • Page 141 Equalizer (EQ) Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the room, or to change the tonal character of the sound. The sound is divided into several frequency bands, and adjustments are made to the sound by raising or lowering the level of each band.
