About the Scene Memory function

Operations in utility mode

In utility mode you can modify various settings
related to scene memory operations. Operations such
as Bulk Out and Bulk Dump Request are also per-
formed in this mode.
Basic operation in utility mode
1. When the M3000A is in normal mode, press and
immediately release the control section UTILITY
switch.
The UTILITY switch indicator will light, and the
M3000A will enter utility mode. At this time, the
MEMORY display will alternately show the currently
selected utility item and the current parameter value.
Note: If you continue holding the UTILITY switch
for approximately one second or longer, you will
exit utility mode and return to normal mode.
2. Press the UTILITY switch repeatedly until the
desired item appears in the MEMORY display.
For the available items, refer to the section "Utility
items" below.
3. Use the control section
the setting of the currently selected item.
For the available values of each item, refer to the sec-
tion "Utility items" below.
• If you select Bulk Out or Bulk Dump Request parame-
ters, or if you select the Memory Initialize parameter,
the function will be executed when you press the
STORE switch.
4. To exit utility mode, press and hold the UTILITY
switch for one second or longer.
The M3000A will return to normal mode. If the dis-
play shows " " (bulk request), you can also return
to normal mode by pressing the UTILITY switch once
again.
Note: If the M3000A receives MIDI program
change messages in utility mode, it will return to
normal mode.

Utility items

Utility mode includes the following items and param-
eter settings.
Utility item
(battery check) ...........*.* (*.* is voltage value)
This indicates the voltage of the internal battery. If the
voltage drops to 2.5V or less, the indicator will show
" " and the voltage alternately. If an abnormal volt-
age occurs, the indicator will show "
34
/ switches to modify
Parameter values
" and " "
alternately. If either of these displays appears, immedi-
ately contact your dealer or a Yamaha service center to
have the battery replaced.
(memory protect) ............................... on/oFF
This is a memory protect function to prevent impor-
tant data from being overwritten. When this is turned
on, it will not be possible to modify or save scene data.
Also, even if a bulk dump is received from an external
MIDI device, the contents of memory will not be
rewritten.
(recall operation) .............................. dir/GrP
This changes the operation of the DIRECT RECALL
1–8 switches. When this is set to "
RECALL 1–8 switches will function as direct recall
switches which directly recall memory numbers 1–8.
When this is set to " ," the DIRECT RECALL 1–8
switches will function as mute group switches to add/
defeat mute groups 1–8. (For details on mute groups,
refer to page 36.)
(memory initialize) ....................... ALL/1–128
This erases all scene memories (ALL) or an individual
scene memory (1–128). After selecting
," press the STORE switch to erase the speci-
~ "
fied scene memory(s). Be aware that once a scene
memory is erased, it cannot be recovered. If the
item is turned on, you cannot initialize the memory.
(MIDI channel) ..........1–16 (Factory setting: 1)
This specifies the MIDI channel on which MIDI mes-
sages will be transmitted and received via the MIDI
IN/OUT connectors.
(program change transmission/reception)
..........................oFF/on/LoC (Factory setting: on)
This specifies whether or not program changes will be
transmitted and received via the MIDI IN/OUT con-
nectors. If this is set to "
not be transmitted or received. If this is set to "
program changes 0–127 received from an external
device will select scenes 1–128 that were saved in the
M3000A's scene memory. (However if the oP parameter
is set to " ," incoming program changes 0–7 will be
ignored.) Also, when a scene for which data has been
saved is recalled by an operation on the M3000A, the
corresponding program change message will be trans-
mitted. (When the oP parameter is set to "
gram changes 0-7 can be output from the MIDI OUT
connector by using the 0-9/ENTER buttons and the
REC ALL key.) If this is set to "
sponding program change will be transmitted even
when you select a scene for which data has not been
saved, thus allowing you to select programs on an
external device.
