Midi System Settings; Midi Transmit Settings - Yamaha Tyros2 Owner's Manual

MIDI System Settings

The explanations here apply when you call up the SYSTEM page in step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 214.
■ Local Control
.......................................................................................................................................................
Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to "ON," the keyboard of the Tyros2 controls its own (local)
internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to "OFF," the keyboard
and controllers are internally disconnected from the Tyros2's tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the
keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the Tyros2's internal voices,
and use the Tyros2 keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator.
■ Clock setting, etc.
● CLOCK
Determines whether the Tyros2 is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTER-
NAL is the normal Clock setting when the Tyros2 is being used alone. If you are using the Tyros2 with an external sequencer, MIDI
computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI A,
MIDI B, USB 1, or USB 2. Make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the Tyros2's MIDI IN terminal), and that
it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal.
● TRANSMIT CLOCK
Turns MIDI clock transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or START/STOP data is transmitted even if song or style is
played back.
● RECEIVE TRANSPOSE
Determines whether the Tyros2's transpose setting (page 88) is applied to the note events the Tyros2 received via MIDI or not.
● START/STOP
Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect song or style playback.
■
Message Switch.......................................................................................................................................................
● SYS/EX.
The "Tx" setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI system exclusive messages on or off.
The "Rx" setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI system exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off.
● CHORD SYS/EX.
The "Tx" setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect—root and type) on or off.
The "Rx" setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off.

MIDI Transmit Settings

The explanations here apply to when you call up the TRANSMIT page in step #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 214. This determines which
parts will send MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent.
Select the part for changing transmit
settings. With the exception of the two
parts below, see page 179 for details
about the parts.
• UPPER
A keyboard part played on the right
side of the keyboard from the split
point for the voices instead of
RIGHT 1, 2, and 3.
• LOWER
A keyboard part played on the left
side of the keyboard from the split
point for the voices instead of
LEFT. This part is not affected by
the on/off status of the [ACMP] but-
ton.
..............................................................................................................................................
Select a channel via which the selected part will
be transmitted.
• If the same transmit channel is assigned
• GS songs transmitted via MIDI are played
• Write-protected songs cannot be trans-
The dots corresponding to each channel
(1-16) flash briefly whenever any data is
transmitted on the channel(s).
Turns transmission of the specified data type (MIDI message)
on or off. See below and page 132 for details.

NOTE
to several different parts, the transmitted
MIDI messages are merged to a single
channel—resulting in unexpected sounds
and possible glitches in the connected
MIDI device.
