(*1)Note:

Local Control On/Off: Normally, the

YPP-35's keyboard is connected to its internal sound

module, which means that when you play, a sound

is output from the instrument, and when you select

a different voice, the sound changes. This state is

called "Local Control On".

However, if desired, the

YPP-35 сап be set to "Local Control Off". in this

state, the keyboard is disconnected from the sound

module, which means that if you play something, a

sound will not be produced from the instrument

itself, but your performance can be transmitted via

MIDI to an external instrument.

- Setting to Local Control Off

While holding down the MIDI(TRANSPOSE button,

press Voice Select button PIANO 1. To return the

YPP-35 to Local Control On, repeat the same pro-

cedure.

One of the most exciting features of the YPP-35 is

thatitis capable of playing all of its eight voices at the

same time. This feature is called Multi-timbre, and

is most useful when using the YPP-35 as a Slave

from a sequencer.

The YPP-35 has two play modes: Normal and Multi-

timbre.

When the instrument is turned on, it is

always in Normal mode, that is, you play a single

voice on the keyboard. When in Multi-timbre mode,

however, the YPP-35 will act as ten independent

sound modules, with all 8 preset voices available for

use in an ensemble performance.

- Entering Multi-timbre mode

While holding down the MIDI/TRANSPOSE button,

press the HARPSICHORD Voice Select button. To

exit from Multi-timbre mode, repeat the same op-

eration once again.

Now, try using the YPP-35 in Multi-timbre mode with

a sequencer(*).

To best use the YPP-35 in Multi-timbre mode, you will

need a Master device which can control other devices

with different MIDI channels at the same time. This could

be a sequencer, MIDI-equipped personal computer, or

MIDI master keyboard.

The following diagram relates to a Hand-Shaking

connection between a YPP-35 and a sequencer.

Try going quickly through the following steps, to

become familiar with the use of Multi-timbre mode.

The object is to record an ensemble performance of

several parts onto the sequencer, then play it back

with each part sounding in a different YPP-35 voice.

Step 1:

Set the YPP-35 in Multi-timbre mode.

Step 2:

Ensure the YPP-35 is set to Local Control

On and the sequencer to Echo Off, or the YPP-35 to

Local Control Off and the sequencer to Echo On.

Remember the notes on page 12.

Step 3:

Selecta MIDI transmitting channel from 1-

10(*) on the YPP-35, then select the voice you

desire.

You should set the transmitting channel

before playing, so that the sequencer will receive all

the information, via MIDI channel message, regarding

voice, touch, sustain, etc.

Іп Multi-timbre mode, the YPP-35's sound module сап

receive MIDI messages in channels 1-10. MIDI messages

in channels 11-16 cannot control the YPP-35's sound

module. Additionally, when you enter Multi-timbre mode,

preset voices are automatically assigned to MIDI chan-

nels, as shown in the following chart:

Channel 1:

PIANO 1

Channel 2:

PIANO 2

Channel 3:

E. PIANO

Channel 4:

HARPSICHORD

Channel 5:

VIBES

Channel 6:

Channel 7:

Channel 8:

PIPE ORGAN

Channel 9:

PIANO 1

Channelt0:

PIANO 2

Step 4:

Play one of the ensemble parts on the

keyboard, pedalling as needed, and record it onto

one of the tracks of the sequencer.

You may, of

course, change voices during play.

Step 5:

Repeat Steps З and 4 as needed. In each

case, selectthe appropriate MIDI channel (according

to the voice desired for that part) before Step 3, and

in Step 4, record onto a new track or overdub onto

previously recorded tracks.

Step 6:

Play back the completed ensemble per-

formance from the sequencer.

You will hear the

different voices, corresponding to the different parts

of the ensemble, played out simultaneously.
