MIDI Functions MIDI Transmit & Receive Channel Selection MIDI OUT DOU-10 MIDI IN MIDI THRU MIDI IN Tone Generator (Set to receive on MIDI channel 2) YDP-88II (Set to receive on MIDI channel 1) The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16 different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow selective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to "play" two different instruments or tone generators. One of the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to "play" two completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators. In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. An "OMNI" receive mode is also available, which allows reception on all 16 MIDI channels. In the OMNI mode it is not necessary to match the receive channel of the receiving device to the transmit channel of the transmitting device (except when receiving mode messages). q Setting the YDP-88II MIDI Channels MIDI/TRANSPOSE C1 D#2 C 4 2 4 7 9 11 14 16 24 E5 D#5 7 9 11 14 16 1 3 5 6 8 10 12 13 15 1 3 5 6 8 10 12 13 15 For setting the transmit For setting the receive channel.

The E5 key sets the OMNI receive mode and basic receive channel 1. NOTE • When the power is initially turned ON, MIDI receive is set to the OMNI mode and the transmit channel is set to 1. MIDI Transmit Transpose ... This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the YDP88II to be transposed up or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 6 semitones. The pitch of the YDP-88II itself is not affected. q Setting the MIDI Transpose Function MIDI/TRANSPOSE F#5 C6 F#6 -6 -4 -2 +1 +3 +6 -5 -3 -1 0 +2 +4 +5 Z Press and hold the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
