Yamaha YPP-200 Owner's Manual - Page 11

Sequenser Setting Up Using the MIDI IN and OUT Connectors The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the YPP-200. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the YPP-200 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the YPP-200 keyboard). More details on MIDI are given in "MIDI Functions" on page 30. Using the Damper Pedal (connect a footswitch to the DAMPER Jack A footswitch connected to the DAMPER jack will basically function in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the footswitch is pressed, notes played will have a long sustain. Releasing the footswitch immediately stops (dampens) any sustained notes. • Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed. • If the Damper function doesn't work, or notes are sustained even when the footswitch is not pressed, make sure that the pedal is properly plugged into the DAMPER Jack. Using the Soft Pedal (connect a footswitch to the SOFT Jack A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the footswitch is pressed. The soft pedal function will not affect notes that are already sustaining when the footswitch is pressed. This footswitch can also be assigned to function as a start/stop switch with the "Soft Pedal Mode" described on page 29. Using the PHONES Jacks Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the PHONES jacks. Music Stand The YPP-200 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel. YPP-200 11
