Program Change Transmit Table - Yamaha P-100 Owner's Manual

Program change transmit table

Your P-100 generally transmits a program change message each time you press a [VOICE/UTILITY] button to select a
voice. The number of the program change message that is sent is displayed for a second after you press the button,
before being replaced by the number of the voice you selected.
When your P-100 left the Yamaha factory, it was preset so that each [VOICE/UTILITY] button will send the program
change number corresponding to the number above the button. Thus, an external tone generator connected to the
P-100 will receive messages selecting program 1 when you press the [PIANO l] button, program 2 when you press the
[PIANO 2] button, and so on.
These settings are grouped in a table known as the program change transmit table. This is merely a table of one-to-
one correspondences which assigns a program change number to each of the P-100's ten [VOICE/UTILITY] buttons.
You can change the assignments in this table using the procedure described below.

1. Enter MIDI Utility mode.
Press the [PC TRNS] button while holding down the [MIDI]
button. The LED above the button for the currently selected
voice (the main voice in Dual or Split mode) will light steadily,
and the current transmit table setting for this button will appear
in the display.
2. Select a [VOICE/UTILITY] button.
Press the [VOICE/UTILITY] button for which you wish to
change the setting. The current transmit table setting for that
button will appear in the display. (If you want to change the
transmit table setting for the currently selected button, you can
skip to step 3.)
3. Set the desired value.
Use the [DATA ENTRY] slider or the [-l] and [+l] buttons to
select the desired value.
You can set a program change number from 1 to 128 for each of
the P-100's [VOICE/UTILITY] buttons. If you wish, you can
make this setting using a MIDI message instead of the [DATA
ENTRY] slider. To do so, have an external device transmit the
desired program change number on the P-100's program change
receive channel. The number of the message you send will
appear in the P-100's display.
