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:

Power supply/AC power adaptor Location

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still ﬂowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Connections

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

• Data in the instrument’s internal memory can be lost due to operational errors or malfunction. Be sure to save any important data to external media via a computer connected to the instrument. (page 52)

Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• During extreme changes in temperature or humidity, condensation may occur and water may collect on the surface of the instrument. If water is left, the wooden parts may absorb the water and be damaged. Make sure to wipe any water off immediately with a soft cloth.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Digital Piano!

We recommend that you read this manual carefully so that you can

fully take advantage of the advanced and convenient functions.

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.

AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling

This digital piano offers a rich and versatile range of sounds, which are created using Yamaha’s proprietary sampling tone-generation system, “AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling.”

AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) is a sampling system that creates sounds close to those of an acoustic instrument by digitally recording the sounds of an instrument and applying high-quality digital ﬁltering technology to the recorded audio samples.

The sound waveform created by an acoustic piano differs depending on the player’s strength of touch, from pianissimo to fortissimo.

AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling can create extremely dynamic nuances by recording samples at various playing strengths. The greater the number of samples used, the greater the resulting expressiveness of the instrument.

The piano voice “Grand Piano 1” features a totally new sample recorded from a full-size concert grand piano. Each note in the sample has been adjusted meticulously so that the digital piano will play only the very best piano sounds.

The piano voices are well-separated sounds featuring a fast attack and a satisfying response. The “Grand Piano 1” voice features multiple wave samples for different velocities (Dynamic Sampling). That is, differ-

ent samples are used depending on how fast or strong the player strikes the keys. Therefore, this voice expresses detailed dynamics and sounds much closer to those of a true acoustic piano.

The instrument creates a rich, luxurious sound using “Sustain Sampling,” which is a sample of the soundboard and the resonance of the strings when the damper pedal is pressed. The instrument also features “Key-off Sampling,” which is a sample of the very delicate noises that are caused when keys are released.

Tr ansposition – [TRANSPOSE]

The instrument’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. In this way, you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the instrument will transpose it to the key of F.

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the 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 instrument allows the recording of up to three songs (U01–U03) or up to a maximum of about 100KB (11,000 notes) in each song on the instrument depending on pedal usage and other factors.

You cannot record the performance to the connected USB storage device directly. The recorded songs are saved to the instrument automatically. If you want to save data to the device, perform the Save operation (page 31) after stopping recording.

TERMINOLOGY

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on an MD differs from that of data recorded on the instrument. An MD records audio signals. The instrument “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the instrument produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the instrument may be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

NOTE

You can record your performance (audio data) to an MD recorder or other recording device via the AUX OUT jack (page 47).

Recording a performance quickly

This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance without specifying the recording parts — useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to right part.

You can handle recorded songs (save, load, and delete) with a USB storage device. You can also format the device or media. Before using a USB device, read the “Precautions when using the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal” section on page 53.

About Save and Load

Save

You can save three recorded songs in the instrument to the USB storage device as SMF song ﬁles. These songs can be saved to a “container” (or “USB” ﬁle) in the USB storage device. 100 containers are available — S00–S99. Since the recorded songs are saved in SMF format, they can be played back on other instruments.

TERMINOLOGY

SMF (Standard MIDI File):

The SMF (Standard MIDI File) 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. User songs recorded on the instrument are SMF Format 0.

Specify the Song Part (Channel) and Play the Song

Because this instrument is not compatible with GM/XG/DOC/GS/XF Format, when listening to external songs, you can specify the song parts in this setting. The “ALL” setting plays back all 16 parts, while “1+2” plays back parts 1 and 2. Keep in mind that songs recorded on other devices may use a variety of voices not available on this instrument and hence may sound different than the original songs. In general, this instrument should be used to play back piano songs. Since piano songs are generally recorded to parts 1 and 2 exclusively, the “1+2” setting is best used with only the piano voice. Default setting is “ALL.”

To tune up (in roughly 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A-1, B-1, and C0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

To tune down (in roughly 0.2Hz steps): Hold the A1, B-1, and C#0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

To restore standard pitch: Hold the A-1, B-1, C0, and C#0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

To tune down or up, respectively, in approximately 1 Hz increments: Hold the A-1, B-1 and C0 keys or

the A-1, B-1 and C#0 keys simultaneously and press the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button.

To restore standard pitch: Hold the A-1, B-1 and C0 keys or the A-1, B-1 and C#0 keys simultaneously and press the [–/NO] [+/YES] buttons simultaneously.

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 instrument.

F2.1: Scale

Setting range: 1: Equal Temperament

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

Default setting: 1: Equal Temperament

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.

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.

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

You can set various parameters for Dual (page 17) to optimize the settings for the songs you play, such as adjusting the volume balance between two voices. Dual function settings are set individually for each voice combination.

If Dual is not engaged, will appear instead of and you will be unable to

select the Dual functions. If this happens, press two voice buttons at the same time to engage Dual.

F3.2: Dual Detune

Setting range: -20–0–20 (With positive values, the

pitch of Voice 1 is raised and the pitch of Voice 2 is lowered. With negative values, the pitch of Voice 1 is lowered and the pitch of Voice 2 is raised.)

NOTE

The available setting range is wider in the lower range (± 60 cents for A-1), and narrower in the higher range (± 5 cents for C7). (100 cents equal one semitone.)

Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion. Detune Voice 1 and Voice 2 for Dual to create a thicker sound.

F3.3: Voice 1 Octave Shift

F3.4: Voice 2 Octave Shift

Setting range: –1, 0, 1 Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion. You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Vo ice 1 and Voice 2 independently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual, the combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.

F3.5: Voice 1 Effect Depth

F3.6: Voice 2 Effect Depth

ENGLISH

F3.1: Dual Balance

Setting range: 0–20 (A setting of “10” produces an

equal balance between the two Dual voices. Settings below “10” increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Vo ice 1, and settings above “10” increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.)

Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion. You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.

Setting range: 0–20 Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion. These functions make it possible to individually set the depth of the effect for Voices 1 and 2 for Dual. (The effect depth settings cannot be changed unless the

[EFFECT] is

ON. Function must be exited before the [EFFECT] can be turned ON.)

•“Vo ice 1” and “Voice 2” are explained on page 17.

F7. MIDI Functions

ENGLISH

You can make detailed adjustments to the MIDI settings. For more information about MIDI, see the “About MIDI” section (page 48).

F7.1: MIDI Transmit 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 instrument transmits MIDI data.

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

• 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).

F7.2: MIDI Receive Channel Selection

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 instrument 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 instrument 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 instrument’s panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard.

F7.3: Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the instrument 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 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

F7.4: Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the instrument 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 instrument 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 instrument without affecting the external MIDI device.

NOTE

For information on program change numbers for each of the instrument’s voices, refer to MIDI Data Format page 62.

Setting range: ON/OFF Default setting: ON

P-155 Owner’s Manual

Page 45

Detailed Settings – [FUNCTION]

F7.5: Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the instrument 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 instrument 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 instrument’s pedal and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

NOTE

For information on control changes that can be used with the instrument, refer to MIDI Data Format on page 62.

Setting range: ON/OFF Default setting: ON

F7.6: Panel/Status Transmit

This function causes all the current instrument panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal.

NOTE

Setup Data:

Data that contains a set of panel settings for the instrument.

F7.7: Initial Setup Send

This function lets you send the data of the panel settings to a computer. By transmitting the panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the instrument will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back. You can also use this function to change the settings of a connected tone generator to the same settings as the instrument.

ENGLISH

Number of USB storage devices that can be used

Only one USB storage device can be connected to the USB [TO DEVICE] terminal.

Formatting USB storage media

When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation (page 35).

CAUTION

The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data.

To protect your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.

Connecting/removing USB storage device

Before removing the media from the device, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save and Delete operations).

CAUTION

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks (Optional)

An optional ﬂoppy disk drive can be installed to this instrument.

The ﬂoppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to ﬂoppy disk, and allows you to load data from ﬂoppy disk to the instrument. Be sure to handle ﬂoppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Floppy Disk Compatibility

3.5" 2DD and 2HD type ﬂoppy disks can be used.

ENGLISH

Formatting a Floppy Disk

If you ﬁnd that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a disk, see pages 35. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data.

Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks

Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive:

Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.

Removing a Floppy Disk

After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the ﬂoppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the ﬂoppy disk drive is off), ﬁrmly press the eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the ﬂoppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the ﬂoppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject button again, or try reinserting the disk and attempt to eject it again.

*Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as play-

Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be

NOTE

useable as is on other devices.

Never insert anything but ﬂoppy disks into the disk drive.

NOTE

Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or ﬂoppy disks.

back or deletion of data. If a ﬂoppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data.

Be sure to remove the ﬂoppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A ﬂoppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Ya maha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head cleaning disks.

About Floppy Disks

Handle ﬂoppy disks with care, and follow these precautions:

•Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep ﬂoppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.

•Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.

•Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the ﬂoppy disk inside.

•Do not expose the disk to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

•Never use a ﬂoppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.

•Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a ﬂoppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):

To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure that the disk’s writeprotect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed).

Do not remove the ﬂoppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage to the ﬂoppy disk drive.

Voice Descriptions

Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Also includes four 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.

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.

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

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

Voice Descriptions

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

Spacious strings ensemble with a slow attack. Try combining this voice with a piano or electric piano in the DUAL.

This is the organ’s full coupler sound often associated with Bach’s “Toccata and Fugue.”

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.

A big, spacious choir voice. Perfect for creating rich harmonies in slow pieces.

Warm and natural-sounding nylon guitar. Enjoy the quiet ambience of nylon strings.

An upright bass played ﬁngerstyle. Ideal for jazz and Latin music.

Adds a soft ride cymbal to the bass sound. Ideal for walking bass lines in jazz tunes.

Electric bass for a wide range of music styles, jazz, rock, popular, and more.

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] ->

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 instrument 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.
