MIDI Operations (MIDI Mode) s What is MIDI? MIDI is the abbreviation for: Musical Instruments Digital Interface. MIDI is a world standard communication interface that allows MIDI compatible musical instruments and computers to share musical information and control one another regardless of instrument type or maker. With the DG-1000, an external MIDI controller can be used to recall memory settings (program change), an external MIDI controller can be used to control the main volume (control change), and memory and MIDI settings can be exchanged with an external MIDI device (bulk dump). s Using MIDI to Recall Memory Program change messages from a Yamaha MIDI Foot Controller MFC10, etc., or external MIDI device can be used to recall settings in the DG1000's memory. 1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the DG-1000's MIDI IN Jack to the MIDI OUT Jack on an external MIDI device. * Use only a standard MIDI cable that is less than 15 meters in length. Using a longer cable may result in abnormal operation. MIDI IN MIDI Cable MIDI OUT STATUS DATA/CTRL BANK MSB/MAX BANK LSB/MIN TOGGLE ON-OFF /NUMBER OF PGM 8.8.8.

Set the DG-1000's MIDI receive channel and the external MIDI device's MIDI transmit channel to the same MIDI channel. (the factory preset is channel 1). 2-1. Press the button, the MIDI display lamp will light. 2-2. Press the button, the currently set MIDI receive chan- nel is shown on the display. 2-3. Use the / buttons to select the MIDI receive channel (1 - 16 , All, oF). * All is set to OMNI. 3. Create a program change table* (the factory preset is, Program Change No. = Memory No.). * For example, "the received Program Change Number 1, recalls the DG-1000's Memory Number 5". To achieve this, assign the received program change number to the corresponding memory number. 3-1. With the Mode Display Lamp lit, press the button. 3-2. Use the / buttons to select a program change number (1 - 2.8). The selected number appears on the display. 3-3. Press the button. 3-4. Use the / buttons to select the corresponding memory number (1 - 2.8). The number appears on the display. 3-5. If necessary, repeat steps 3-1 through 3-4. 4. When program memory data is transmitted from an external MIDI device, the corresponding memory assigned to the Program Change Table will be recalled. s About MIDI Control Changes You can control the overall volume of the DG-1000 by connecting an external MIDI device's MIDI OUT jack to the DG-1000's MIDI IN jack, and transmit Number 7 Control Change Messages (Main Volume) to the DG-1000. * With the exception of the Number 7 Control Change, the DG-1000 does not recognize any other MIDI Control Change messages. * The Main Volume data will not change, even if a different memory number is selected. * When the POWER is switched ON, the Main Volume data is set to its MAX value. 6 * After the Main Volume data is changed, and the external MIDI device is disconnected, the pre-amp's volume level may not be sufficient. If this case occurs, transmit a Control Change with a higher volume setting again, or switch the POWER OFF and then back ON. s Setting the MIDI Merge To have data received by the DG-1000's MIDI IN jack, re-transmitted from the MIDI OUT jack, set the MIDI Merge to "on". If not, set to "oF". 1. Press the 2. Press the in the display. 3. Use the / button, the MIDI Display will light. button, the current MIDI Merge setting is shown buttons to select "on/oF". s MIDI Bulk Out The DG-1000's data can be sent to an external MIDI storage device (Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF2, etc.) for data backup. 1. Use a MIDI cable to connect the DG-1000's MIDI OUT Jack to the MIDI IN Jack on an external MIDI device. 2. Press the button. The MIDI display lamp will light. 3. To send data for the entire memory (128) + MIDI settings with the Bulk Out operation: → Press the button. "All" is shown in the display. To send a single memory with the Bulk Out operation: → Press the button. Use the / buttons to select the memory number you wish to send. 4. Press the button to transmit the memory data. Press the button to cancel the operation. * The device number is the same as the MIDI receive channel. If the MIDI receive channel is set to OMNI ( All ) or OFF ( oF ), the MIDI channel will be set to 1. s MIDI Bulk In Use a MIDI cable to connect the DG-1000's MIDI IN Jack to the MIDI OUT Jack on an external MIDI device. Return DG-1000 backup data to the DG-1000. * The MIDI bulk in operation is carried out in the PLAY or EDIT modes only. It can not be carried out in the MIDI mode. * The device number is the same as the MIDI receive channel. If the MIDI receive channel is set to OMNI ( All ), the MIDI channel will be set to 1. It will not receive if it is set to OFF ( oF ). * "Ld" is shown on the display during the MIDI Bulk In operation. s Error Messages If an error occurs during a MIDI operation, one of the following error message numbers will appear on the DG-1000's display. E2: MIDI receive buffer full. Too much MIDI data is being received by the DG-1000 at one time. Try to reduce the amount of data being sent or, break the data into smaller blocks. E3: Communication error. An abnormality is detected in the transmitted data. Check all connections and relevant settings and try again. E4: Bulk receive check sum error. A check sum error has been detected in the MIDI bulk data received by the DG-1000. Check all connections and relevant settings and try again. E5: Bulk receive data abnormality. An abnormality has been detected in the MIDI bulk data rö"eived by the DG-1000. Check all connections and relevant settings and try again.
