SOFTWARE SETUP When connected to your computer with a USB cable, the keyboard will appear to your software as a simple MIDI device with one input port and one output port. You should select the keyboard input port as the MIDI input device in your software. Once this is set, your software will be able to receive notes and controller data from the keyboard.
1. Press the EDIT button in the section on the left to enter the Keyboard Multifunction Mode. 2. Press the key on the keyboard labeled VEL CURVE. The LED Display will show a number indicating the currently selected velocity curve. The default curve is 1. 3.
MIDI Channel The MIDI interface supports 16 channels of MIDI data, each of which can be routed to a different device or instrument. The MIDI Channel function allows you to change the channel that the keyboard will use to send its notes and data. Perform the following steps to change the selected channel.
Bank LSB and MSB The original MIDI specification called for 128 different standard programs/voices. However, since that time the specification has been expanded to allow a myriad of additional sounds that can be produced by specialized MIDI devices. To accommodate these additional sounds, a 14-bit sound bank address is used.
The eight rotary knobs, eight pressure pads, two touch strips, and two pedals (which must be plugged in) can be assigned to any MIDI controller. Perform the following steps to assign a MIDI controller to a physical control. 1. Press the CTRL ASSIGN button in the section on the left. The LED Display will show CHO.
Split Mode Split Mode allows you to split the keyboard into two sections, each of which can have its own program/voice and MIDI channel. Perform the following steps to enable Split Mode. 1. Press the EDIT button in the section on the left to enter Keyboard Multifunction Mode.
With Mute enabled, perform the following steps to disable Mute, so that the keyboard can send MIDI messages once again. 1. Press the EDIT button in the section on the left to enter Keyboard Multifunction Mode. 2. Press the key labeled MUTE. The LED Display will show OFF to indicate that Mute mode is disabled.
XG Mode When XG Mode is enabled, the keyboard can send Program Change messages to select a voice on a Yamaha® XG compatible device. Perform the following steps to enable XG messages. 1. Press the EDIT button in the section on the left to enter Keyboard Multifunction Mode.
2. Press the key labeled C.PEDAL.POL. The LED Display will show OFF, indicating that the pedal polarity is changed back to default. An alternative method of changing pedal polarity is to press and hold the pedal down while turning the keyboard on. The keyboard will detect the alternate state and will swap the Pedal On and Pedal Off messages.
Pad Velocity Curve Each Pad is pressure sensitive in the same way that the regular piano keys are pressure sensitive. You can select one of six different velocity curves for the pressure pads by performing the following steps. 1. Press the EDIT button in the section on the left to enter Keyboard Multifunction Mode.
RGB Backlighting Each individual Pad can be set to have a different color of RGB backlighting. Perform the following steps to change the backlighting color for one of the Pads. 1. Press the EDIT button in the section on the left to enter Keyboard Multifunction Mode.
