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 performed 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 v/w switches to modify the setting of the currently selected item. For the available values of each item, refer to the section "Utility items" below. • If you select Bulk Out or Bulk Dump Request parameters, 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 display 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 parameter settings. Utility item Parameter values (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 voltage occurs, the indicator will show " " and " " 34 alternately. If either of these displays appears, immediately contact your dealer or a Yamaha service center to have the battery replaced. (memory protect on/oFF (Factory setting: oFF) This is a memory protect function to prevent important 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 (Factory setting: dir) This changes the operation of the DIRECT RECALL 1-8 switches. When this is set to " ," the DIRECT 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 " " or " " ~ " ," press the STORE switch to erase the specified 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 messages 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 connectors. If this is set to " ," program changes will 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 transmitted. (When the oP parameter is set to " ," program 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 " " (local), the corresponding 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.
