Precautions

!! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

■ Location

Do not expose the MFC10 to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.

• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).

• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime).

• Excessive humidity.

• Excessive dust.

• Strong vibration.

■ USE THE CORRECT POWER SUPPLY

• Power to the MFC10 should be supplied only from the appropriate Yamaha AC adaptor (the PA-3B or another adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha). Use of another adaptor may cause serious damage to the unit. Also make sure that the adaptor you have is appropriate for the AC mains supply voltage in the area where you intend to use the MFC10. (The correct input voltage is marked on the adaptor.)

■ Power Supply

• Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.

• The power adaptor should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the MFC10 is not to be used for an extended period of time.

• Unplug the MFC10 during electric storms.

• Avoid plugging the MFC10 into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possibly damage.

■ Turn Power OFF When Making Connections

• To avoid damage to the MFC10 and other devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.

■ MIDI Connections

• When connecting the MFC10 to MIDI equipment, be sure to use high-quality cables made especially for MIDI data transmission.

• Avoid MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Longer cables can pick up electrical noise that can causes data errors.

■ Handling and Transport

• Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors or other parts of the instrument.

• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

• Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument.

• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.

■ Cleaning

• Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.

• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.

• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.

• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instrument (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).

■ Electrical Interference

• This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

■ Data Backup

• The MFC10 contains a special read-write memory without a battery, that retains the contents of its internal memory even when the power is turned OFF.

■ Service and Modification

• The MFC10 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in any way can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

Power Supply

Use the PA-3B power adaptor (or another adaptor recommended by Yamaha) to supply the MFC10 with power from a convenient wall socket.

Connect the adaptor’s plug into the [DC IN] jack on the rear panel. Wrap the power cord around the cord stopper hook to prevent accidental unplugging during use.

Plug the AC adaptor into any convenient AC wall socket.

About the TOGGLE ON-OFF/NUMBER OF PGM settings.

TOGGLE ON-OFF/NUMBER OF PGM contains the settings for “on, off, Pn1, Pn2, Pn3, Pn4”. According to the setting, you can use the foot switch to operate as a toggle on-off, or simultaneously transmit several MIDI data.

TOGGLE ON-OFF settings

TOGGLE ON-OFF settings can be used in Function Memory that are saved with control change data.

• [on]...... Press the foot switch and the MAX value (switch on data) is continuously transmitted. Press the foot switch

once again and the MIN value (switch off data) is transmitted. The foot switch’s lamp will flash from the time the MAX value is transmitted, until the MIN value is transmitted. Even if another foot switch is pressed, the lamp will remain flashing. (The flashing lamp indicates continuous transmission of the MAX value.)

• [oFF]....Hold the foot switch and the MAX value (switch on data) is transmitted. Release the foot switch and the

MIN value (switch off data) is transmitted.

MIDI Data Simultaneous Transmission (Pn1-Pn4)

Pn1-Pn4 settings can be used in Function Memory that are saved with Note ON/OFF, control change, and program change data. Within Function Memories F00-F49, up to 4 of the same type of MIDI data (one of the following— Note On/Off, Control Change, Program Change) can be simultaneously transmitted.

F00 F01 F49

Pn4

Pn3

Pn2

Pn1

For example, you can transmit several note on/off data over the same MIDI channel to play chords, or transmit control change data over several MIDI channels to simultaneously control external effectors. Also, you can simultaneously change the voices of several devices by transmitting Program Change Data over several MIDI channels.
