PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have

ENGLISH

accumulated on it.

• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

Do not open

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

P-140 Owner’s Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Electronic Piano P-140/P-140S!

We recommend that you read this manual carefully

so that you can fully take advantage of the advanced and

convenient functions of the P-140/P-140S.

We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and

handy place for future reference.

Main Features

Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard

Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can even be adjusted to match your playing style.

Dynamic Stereo Sampling

The Yamaha P-140 Electronic piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone generation technology for rich, musical voices. The Grand Piano 1, 2 and 3 voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.

The Grand Piano 1 and 3 voices feature three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special Sustain Sampling (page 43) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the sustain pedal is pressed, and Keyoff Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The P-140 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the P-140

Tu rning the Power On

1. Connect the PA-5D power adaptor’s DC

cable to the [DC IN 12V] jack.

2. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable

ENGLISH

damage to both the adaptor and the P-140.

Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the P-140, or during electrical storms.

WARNING

CAUTION

3. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn

the power on.

Before Using the P-140

Using the Pedals

FC3

Sustain Pedal (Sustain Pedal jack)

This jack is for connecting the included pedal (FC3). The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect the included pedal (FC3) to this jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound. The further down the pedal is pressed, the longer the sound will be sustained (can be used like a half pedal effect). When the GRAND PIANO 1 and 3 voices are selected, pressing the FC3 pedal activates the instrument’s special Sustain Samples to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings. An optional FC4/FC5 foot switch can also be connected to this jack. However, these foot switches cannot be used to control the half pedal effect.

ENGLISH

NOTE

AUX Pedal (AUX Pedal jack)

This jack is for connecting an optional FC4/FC5 foot switch or an optional FC7 foot controller. A wide range of functions, including the Soft Pedal function can be assigned to this jack. For instructions on assigning the pedal, refer to pages 37,

43.

NOTE

Using Headphones

Connect a set of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks. Tw o [PHONES] jacks are provided. You can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. (If you are using only one set of headphones, you can plug them into either jack.)

Do not use the P-140 at a high volume level for a long period of time, or your hearing may be damaged.

The depth of the effect produced by the Sustain Samples can be adjusted via the Pedal Functions (pages 37, 43) in Function.

The FC7 Foot Controller can be used to control Expression (pages 37, 43).

The P-140’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difﬁcult key signatures, and to let you easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F.

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the P-140 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two parts separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the P-140 allows the recording of up to three User songs (U01-U03) to the instrument.

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on an MD differs from that of data recorded on the P-140. An MD records audio signals. The P-140 “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the P-140 produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the P-140 may be more accurately called “saving infor-

mation.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

If the song cannot be transferred from a computer, you may need to rename the ﬁle.

The SMF format is one of the most common and widely compatible sequence formats used for storing sequence data. There are two variations: Format 0 and Format

1. A large number of MIDI devices are compatible with SMF Format 0, and most commercially available MIDI sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0. The SMF format for sequence ﬁles allows you to exchange song data between different sequencers.

NOTE

You cannot select songs during Demo Song playback (page 14).

NOTE

When playing back songs containing various voices or parts (such as XG or GM songs), the voices may not sound correct or as intended on the original. You may be able to remedy this and make the playback sound more natural or appropriate by changing the Song Channel Selection setting (page 43) to “1&2,” so that only channels 1 and 2 will play back.

NOTE

If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will automatically stop when playback is stopped.

NOTE

If the REVERB type is changed via the panel controls during playback, both the playback and keyboard reverb effects will be changed.

NOTE

If the EFFECT type is changed via the panel controls during playback, the playback effect may be switched off in some cases.

F2. Selecting a Scale

You can select various scales. Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many of which serve as the basis for certain genres of music. You can experience these tunings with the P-140.

F2.1: Scale

Setting range: 1: Equal Temperament

ENGLISH

Default setting: 1: Equal Temperament

2: Pure Major 3: Pure Minor 4: Pythagorean 5: Mean Tone 6: Werckmeister 7: Kirnberger

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.

F2.2: Base Note

If you select a scale other than Equal Temperament, you need to specify the root. (You can also specify the root note with Equal Temperament selected, but it will have no effect. The base note setting is effective for tunings other than the Equal Temperament tuning.)

Setting range: C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B Default setting: C

•Root indication example

(F#) (G)

Followed by a high bar if sharp

(Ab)

Followed by a low bar if ﬂat

PURE MAJOR/PURE MINOR

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, ﬁfth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies - such as choirs and a cappella singing.

PYTHAGOREAN

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect ﬁfths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

MEAN-TONE

This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

WERCKMEISTER/KIRNBERGER

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

NOTE

• In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In Split, right voice data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In Dual, Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the speciﬁed channel. In Split, left voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the speciﬁed channel. In either case, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to “OFF.”

• Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. However, channels 3-16 of External songs will be transmitted via the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selection setting (page 43).

F8.2: MIDI Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the P-140 receives MIDI data.

Setting range: ALL, 1&2, 1 – 16 Default setting: ALL

NOTE

• ALL:

“Multi-timbre” Receive. This allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the P-140 to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

1&2:

“1&2” Receive. This allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the P-140 to play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

•Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the P-140’s panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard.

F8. MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to the MIDI settings. For more information about MIDI, see the “About MIDI” section (page 47).

F8.1: MIDI Transmit Channel Selection

Setting range: 1 – 16, OFF (not transmitted) Default setting: 1

F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the P140 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On,” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the P140 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN terminal.

Setting range: ON/OFF Default setting: ON

P-140 Owner’s Manual

F8.4: Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the P-140 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The P-140 will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers. This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the P-140 without affecting the external MIDI device.

NOTE

For information on program change numbers for each of the P140’s voices, refer to MIDI Data Format page 60.

Setting range: ON/OFF Default setting: ON

F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the P-140 will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected). The P-140 also transmits MIDI control change information when the pedal or other appropriate controls are operated. This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so that, for example, the P-140’s pedal and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/ reception. It enables the transfer of performance data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers. Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the P140, or control the P-140 from a connected MIDI device or computer.

2 SUSTAIN PEDAL Jack

This jack is for connecting an included foot pedal FC3 here.

FC3

CAUTION

Make sure that power is OFF when connecting or disconnecting the pedal. Do not turn on the power to the unit while pressing the foot switch or foot pedal. Otherwise, the switch or pedal type (on/off) will be reversed.

NOTE

Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the “MIDI Implementation Chart” to ﬁnd out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. The P-140’s MIDI Implementation Chart appears on page 64.

NOTE

Depending upon the pedal that is connected to the SUSTAIN PEDAL jack, the effect produced by operating the pedal (ON/OFF, dynamics, etc.) might be reversed. If this happens, refer to the “SUSTAIN PEDAL Type” section (page 43).

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The P-140 does not turn on. The P-140 has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the

socket on the P-140, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 12).

A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off.

Noise is heard from the speakers or headphones.

The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard.

ENGLISH

The sustain pedal has no effect. The pedal cable/plug may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely insert

The foot pedal seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the foot pedal cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds.

If you press the [VARIATION] button during performance, Sound is cut off.

This is normal when electrical current is being applied to the instrument.

The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the P-140. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the P-

140.

• The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.

• Make sure a pair of headphones is not connected to the headphones jack (page 13).

• Make sure that Local Control (page 44) is ON.

the pedal plug into the proper jack (page 47).

The type of the foot pedal is reversed. If this happens, use F5.6 or F5.7 to correct the pedal type (pages 37, 43).

This is normal, and is no cause for concern.

Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Also includes three levels of dynamic sampling, sustain samples, and key-off samples for exceptionally realistic acoustic grand piano sound. Perfect for classical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic piano.

Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.

Warm and mellow piano. Good for classical compositions.

A Dual voice combining grand piano and strings – perfect for slow, orchestral piano music.

An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Exceptional musical response with varying timbre according to keyboard dynamics. Good for standard popular music.

The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic tines. Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard.

A slightly different electric piano sound often heard in rock and popular music.

This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for sacred music from the Baroque period.

The sound of a tonewheel type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock idioms.

Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic reverb. Try combining this voice with piano in the DUAL.

The deﬁnitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses plucked strings, there is no touch response. There is, however, a characteristic additional sound when the keys are released.

A hammer-struck keyboard instrument that utilizes an electric pickup that is often heard in funk and soul music. Its tone is noted for the unique sound produced when the keys are released.

Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the harder you play.

• Some devices use a “0 to 127” numbering system for program change messages. Since the P-140 uses a “1 to 128” numbering system, you will need to subtract 1 from the transmitted program change numbers to select the appropriate sound: e.g. to select P.C.#1 in the list above, transmit program change number 0.

8. SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGES (Universal System Exclusive)

(1) Universal Realtime Message

Data format: [F0H] -> [7FH] -> [XnH] -> [04H] -> [01H] ->

[llH] -> [mmH] -> [F7H]

MIDI Master Volume

• Simultaneously changes the volume of all channels.

• When a MIDI master volume message is received, the volume

only has affect on the MIDI receive channel, not the panel master volume.

F0H = Exclusive status 7FH = Universal Realtime 7FH = ID of target device 04H = Sub-ID #1=Device Control Message 01H = Sub-ID #2=Master Volume llH = Volume LSB

mmH =

P-140 Owner’s Manual / Bedienungsanleitung / Mode d’emploi / Manual de instrucciones

(2) Universal Non-Realtime Message (GM On)

General MIDI Mode On

Data format: [F0H] -> [7EH] -> [XnH] -> [09H] -> [01H] ->

F0H = Exclusive status 7EH = Universal Non-Realtime 7FH = ID of target device 09H = Sub-ID #1=General MIDI Message 01H = Sub-ID #2=General MIDI On F7H = End of Exclusive or F0H = Exclusive status 7EH = Universal Non-Realtime XnH = When received, n=0~F.

X = irrelevant 09H = Sub-ID #1=General MIDI Message 01H = Sub-ID #2=General MIDI On F7H = End of Exclusive

When a General MIDI mode ON message is received, the MIDI system will be reset to its default settings. This message requires approximately 50ms to execute, so sufﬁcient time should be allowed before the next message is sent.

9. SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGES (XG Standard)

(1) XG Native Parameter Change

Data format: [F0H] -> [43H] -> [1nH] -> [4CH] -> [hhH] ->

F0H = Exclusive status 43H = YAMAHA ID 1nH = When received, n=0~F.

4CH = Model ID of XG hhH = Address High

mmH =

llH = Address Low ddH = Data | F7H = End of Exclusive

Data size must match parameter size (2 or 4 bytes). When an XG System On message is received, the MIDI system will be reset to its default settings. The message requires approximately 50ms to execute, so sufﬁcient time should be allowed before the next message is sent.

(2) XG Native Bulk Data (reception only)

Data format: [F0H] -> [43H] -> [0nH] -> [4CH] -> [aaH] ->

F0H = Exclusive status 43H = YAMAHA ID 0nH = When received, n=0~F.

4CH = Model ID of XG aaH = Byte Count bbH = Byte Count hhH = Address High

mmH =

llH = Address Low ddH = Data | | | | ccH = Check sum F7H = End of Exclusive

• Receipt of the XG SYSTEM ON message causes reinitialization of relevant parameters and Control Change values. Allow sufﬁcient time for processing to execute (about 50 msec) before sending the P-140 another message.

• XG Native Parameter Change message may contain two or four bytes of parameter data (depending on the parameter size).

•For information about the Address and Byte Count values, refer to Table 1 below. Note that the table’s Total Size value gives the size of a bulk block. Only the top address of the block (00H, 00H, 00H) is valid as a bulk data address.
