MIDI Functions The Multi-Timbre Mode ... The Multi-Timbre mode is a special mode in which the YDP-88II voices can be independently controlled on different MIDI channel numbers by an external MIDI device. The Multi-Timbre mode can be activated as follows: HARPSIMIDI/TRANSPOSE NO2 CHORD OR HARPSICHORD HARPSICHORD = Multi-Timbre Mode ON = Multi-Timbre Mode OFF Z Hold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. X Press the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector. If the HARPSI- CHORD LED is lit when the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-Timbre mode ON. If the HARPSICHORD LED is not lit when the [HARPSICHORD] voice selector is pressed, you have turned the Multi-Timbre mode OFF. C Release the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button. The MIDI Split & Left Local OFF Mode ... In the MIDI split mode one section of the YDP-88II keyboard is used to play a YDP-88II voice in the normal way, while the remaining section is used to play a second MIDI keyboard or tone generator such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit. In this mode the right-hand section of the keyboard is used to play an internal YDP88II voice, while the left-hand section of the keyboard plays the external keyboard or tone generator. Playing the left-hand section of the keyboard produces no sound from the YDP-88II. The "split point," or the key that divides the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard can be set at any desired key. MIDI OUT AUX IN OUT PUT MIDI L R R L IN DOU-10 YDP-88II (Set to receive on MIDI channel 2) The MIDI split mode is useful if, for example, you want to play a piano (YDP-88II) voice with the right hand while playing a synthesizer bass line or string section with the left hand. When the MIDI split mode is activated, notes played on the lefthand section are transmitted via the YDP-88II MIDI OUT connector on MIDI channel 2. Notes played on the right-hand section are transmitted on the "basic channel" (i.e. the channel set using the MIDI channel selection function described previously).

V To return to the normal full-keyboard mode, hold the [MIDI/ TRANSPOSE] button and press the [ORGAN] voice selector, then release both buttons.

If a new split point is selected it remains active until the power is turned OFF or a different split point is selected. Bulk Data Dump ...
