3. MIDI
The YPR-30 is a MIDI-equipped keyboard. MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a
worldwide standard for communicating
performance information to and from
electronic instruments and other electronic
devices. With MIDI, the YPR-30 can control
other MIDI-equipped instruments such as
synthesizers or be controlled by them.
A. MIDI Connection
MIDI is basically a one-way communication. Connect it as
follows:
»» To control the YPR-30 from another MIDI
instrument, connect the YPR-30's MIDI IN Jack to
another MIDI instrument's MIDI OUT Jack with a MIDI
connection cable. In this case, the YPR-30 is a "Slave
(receiver)".
»» To control another MIDI instrument from
the YPR-30, connect the YPR-30's MIDI OUT Jack to
another MIDI instrument's MIDI IN Jack with a MIDI
connection cable. In this case, the YPR-30 is a "Master
(transmitter)".
* |n case you wish the YPR-30 and another MIDI instrument to control
each other, you need bi-directional communication. Make two MIDI-
OUT to MIDI-IN connections between these two machines with a
couple of MIDI connection cables. In this case, both machines are
simultaneously "Masters" and "Slaves".

B. MIDI Channels
There are 16 channels for MIDI (MIDI channels: 1 to 16).
Unless MIDI instruments are set to the same MIDI channel,
they cannot communicate several kinds of MIDI information
("MIDI Channel Information") even if their MIDI connections
are correct.
The YPR-30's MIDI channels for transmitting and receiving
information are both automatically set to "1" when it is
turned on. However, if required, these channels can be set
with the following operation:
»» To set a MIDI transmitting channel, press the
MIDI/TRANSPOSE Button and hold it down. Then press
one of 16 keys from C, to D*, to select the desired channer"

Morever, if required, the YPR-30 can be set to receive any kind of MIDI
channel information (on channels 1 to 16). This status is called "OMNI
ON".
To set the YPR-30 to this status, press the MIDI/(TRANSPOSE Button
and hold it down. Then press the E, key.

Selecting a specific MIDI channel means that the machine is in "OMNI
OFF".
