Enabling an External MIDI Device to Control Keyboard Sections

By David Lindsay, Yamaha

The PSR1000/2000 can be configured so that the MAIN, LAYER and LEFT Voice sections can be individually controlled by an external MIDI device. It can also be configured so that an external MIDI device can control it the same way its own keyboard does (controlling whatever sections are active on the front panel).

  1. Press the [FUNCTION] button.

  2. Press the [H] MIDI button.

  3. Use the [BACK] and [NEXT] buttons to select the PRESET page in the MIDI screen.

      NOTE:  To control the PSR the same way its own keyboard does (controlling whatever sections are active on the front panel), select KEYBOARD.

  10. To control ONLY the Auto Accompaniment section (independent of the keyboard), do the following:

    2. Use the  [A], [B], and [1] - [8] toggle buttons to select ON for the desired MIDI Channel (the Channel being transmitted by the external MIDI device) in the screen.

  11. Press the [EXIT] button once.

  12. Press the [NEXT] button to select the USER page in the MIDI screen.

  13. Use the [A] - [J] buttons to select a destination to save the edited MIDI Setup to.

  14. Press the [6B] SAVE button.

  15. Use the [1] - [8] toggle buttons to name the edited MIDI Setup.

  16. Press the [8A] OK button to store it.
