© VOLUME Control
The VOLUME control adjusts the volume level of the
EMT-1's voices delivered via the rear-panel LINE OUT
jacks.
e Signals received via the rear-panel AUX IN jacks are not
affected by the VOLUME control.
@ Voice Selectors & Indicators
The EMT-1's 32 superb FM voices are selected using these
16 selector buttons. The LED indicators above and to the
left of the voice selectors indicate the currently selected voice.
(3 Voice Variator and Indicators
The BRIGHT and MELLOW buttons make it possible to
vary the tonal quality of the selected voice in 5 steps, while
the FAST and SLOW buttons allow variation of the attack
of the selected voice. The LED indicators associated with
these buttons provide a rough indication of the type of
voice variation currently selected. These indicators also
show the status of many of the EMT-1's other functions.
HH Rear Panel
LINE OUT Jacks
These are the main outputs from the EMT-1. They should
normally be connected to the inputs of your amplifier/
speaker system or instrument.
@ AUX IN Jacks
A second instrument or line-level source can be connected
to these jacks. Signals received at the AUX IN jacks are
mixed with the EMT-1 voices and output via the LINE OUT
jacks, but the front-panel VOLUME control setting does
not affect the AUX IN signals.
(OMIDI IN Connector
MIDI data from the controlling keyboard's MIDI OUT
connector is received via this connector. The received
MIDI data ''tells'? the EMT-1 how to respond to actions
performed on the keyboard.
BASS
@ PITCH Controls
The PITCH controls allow tuning the EMT-1 over a
1/2-tone range.
© MULTI Button
The MULTI button activates the EMT-1's special MULTI
TIMBRE mode, allowing four different voices to be
controlled on four different MIDI channels from a MIDI
sequencer or a Disk Recorder such as the Yamaha EMO-1.
© MIDI Button
The MIDI button provides access to a number of utility
and MIDI control functions that add significantly to the
versatility of the EMT-1.
@ POWER Switch
Press once to turn power ON, a second time to turn power
OFF. The BRASS voice indicators will light when the
power is initially turned ON.

a) MIDI OUT Connector
MIDI data generated by the EMT-l itself is transmitted via
this connector. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected
to the keyboard's MIDI IN connector, for example, it is
possible to select voices on the keyboard from the EMT-1's
voice selectors.
@ MIDI THRU Connector
The MIDI THRU connector simple re-transmits any data
received via the MIDI IN connector, allowing several MIDI
devices like the EMT-1 to be ''chained'' together and
controlled simultaneously.
@ DC IN Jack
The optional Yamaha PA-1/PA-4/PA-40/PA-5 Power
Adaptor connects to this jack.
DC OUT Jack
Supplies power to another EM-series device via the supplied
DC cord.
