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, PA-5C 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 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:
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.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, 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.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Handling caution
• 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.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Saving data
Saving and backing up your data
• Internal data is retained for about 1 week after the power is turned off. If the period is exceeded, the data will be lost. Be sure to turn the power switch on for a few minutes at least once a week. The data could be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to external media such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI data filer.
Backing up the floppy disk
• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two floppy disks.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Setting Up
Power supply connections
Using An AC Power Adaptor ..............................................................
ZMake sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the YPP-100 is set to
STANDBY.
XConnect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or other adaptor specifi-
cally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
CPlug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any YPP-100 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
PA-5D
CAUTION
Stereo System
WARNING
Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-5C 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 damage to both the adaptor and the YPP-100.
Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the YPP-100, or during electrical storms.
Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor will reset the YPP-100 to the defaults.
Accessory Jacks
Before connecting the YPP-100 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.
Using the OUTPUT R and L/L+R Jacks ..................................
The OUTPUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the YPP-100 for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the YPP-100 to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the YPP-100’s sound.
10
YPP-100
CAUTION
When the YPP-100s OUTPUT jacks are connected to an external sound system,
first turn the YPP-100 power on, and then the power to the external amplifier/ speaker system. Reverse this order when turning the power off.
○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
Sequenser
Setting Up
Using the MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the YPP-100. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the YPP-100 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the YPP-100 keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI Functions” on page 30.
Using the Damper Pedal
(connect a footswitch to the DAMPER Jack)..................
A footswitch connected to the DAMPER jack will basically function in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the footswitch is pressed, notes played will have a long sustain. Releasing the footswitch immediately stops (dampens) any sustained notes.
Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
If the Damper function doesnt work, or notes are sustained even when the footswitch is not pressed, make sure that the pedal is properly plugged into the DAMPER Jack.
Using the Soft Pedal
(connect a footswitch to the SOFT Jack)............................
A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the footswitch is pressed. The soft pedal function will not affect notes that are already sustaining when the footswitch is pressed.
This footswitch can also be assigned to function as a start/stop switch with the “Soft Pedal Mode” described on page 29.
Using the PHONES Jacks......................................................................
Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either of the PHONES jacks.
Music Rest
The YPP-100 is supplied with a music rest that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel.

Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way
between the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable listening level.
Select a Voice ......................................................................................................
Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.
See Voice Descriptions on page 38.
Play.................................................................................................................................
The YPP-100 also offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of notes played can be controlled according to how “hard” you play the keys. The amount of variation available depends on the selected voice.
Some voices do not have keyboard touch response. See Voice Descrip- tions on page 38 for details.

The A-B Repeat function can be used to continuously repeat a specified phrase within a preset song. Combined with the Part Cancel function described below, this provides an excellent way to practice difficult phrases.
Specify the Beginning (A) of the Phrase...............................
Select and play a preset song, then press the [FUNCTION] button at the beginning of the phrase you want to repeat. This sets the “A” point (“A-” will appear on the display).
To set the “A” point at the very beginning of the song, press the [FUNCTION] button before starting playback.
Specify the End (B) of the Phrase ................................................
Press the [FUNCTION] button a second time at the end of the phrase. This sets the “B” point (“A-b” will appear on the display). At this point repeat playback will begin between the specified A and B points. The metronome will sound when playback begins to give you a tempo reference. However, if playback repeats from the beginning of the song, there will be no tempo reference from metronome.
To set the B point at the song’s end, press the [FUNCTION] button after song playback is complete and before “A- ” disappears from the display.
Stop Playback.....................................................................................................
Press the SONG [START/STOP] button to stop playback while retaining the specified A and B points. A-B repeat playback will resume if the SONG [START/STOP] button is then pressed again.
To cancel the A and B points press the [FUNCTION] button once.
The A and B points are automatically canceled when a new song is selected.
The A-B Repeat function cannot be used during back.

Using the User Song Recorder
The ability to record and play back what youve played on the YPP-100 key­board can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left­hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two tracks 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 user song recorder actually records the following data:
Entire Song
T empo Time signature (beat) Reverb type (including OFF) Effect type
Individual Tracks
Notes played Voice selection
Dual mode voices Damper pedal
Soft pedal Effect depth Reverb depth
Dual balance (F3) Dual detune (F3) Dual octave shift (F3)
Recording
Make All Necessary Initial Settings.............................................
Before actually beginning to record, select the voice you want to record with (or voices if you will be using the dual or split mode). You might also want to set the volume and tempo controls.
Engage the Record Ready Mode ...................................................
Press the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode (recording does not actually start yet). The record ready mode can be disengaged before recording by pressing the [REC] button a second time.
The record ready mode cannot be engaged while the demo/preset song mode is engaged.
Select the Record Track ..........................................................................
When the record mode is engaged in the previous step, the last-
recorded track will automatically be selected for recording and its indica­tor — i.e. the TRACK [1] or [2] button indicator — will glow red. If you want to record on a different track, press the appropriate track button so that its indicator glows red.
The track button indicators of tracks which contain previously recorded data will glow green (unless the track is turned off as described below). The previously-recorded data on the non-record track will normally be played back as you record, so you can play along with a previously-recorded track. If you dont want to hear the previously recorded track as you record (when you want to record a song different from what you recorded on the previous track etc.,), press the playback track button before pressing the [REC] button (step 1, above) so that its indicator goes out.
Recording on a track which already contains data will erase all previous data on that track.
When the record mode is engaged the amount of memory available for recording will be shown on the LED display in approximate kilobytes (starting at “50”), and the rightmost dot on the LED display will flash at the current METRONOME tempo setting.

Stop Recording.................................................................................................
Press either the [REC] or SONG [START/STOP] button to stop
recording.
The indicator of the recorded track will glow green to indicate that it
now contains data.
Changing the Initial Settings..............................................................
The initial voice, tempo, reverb type, reverb depth, and effect settings made in step 1 of the recording procedure are actually recorded by the YPP-100.
These initial settings can be changed after the recording is finished by pressing the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode, pressing the appropriate track button, making the required changes, and then pressing the [REC] button again to exit from the record ready mode and register the changes.
If you do this, be careful not to press the SONG [START/STOP] button or a key on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previous recorded data on the selected track.
It is possible to cancel the operation even after changes have been made: change tracks and then press the [REC] button to exit from the record mode (this also cancels data for the entire song).

Playback
To play back what you’ve recorded, first make sure that the green track indicators
of the tracks you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding track button(s) so that they are lit. Then press the SONG [START/STOP] button. Playback starts from the beginning of the recorded data, and will stop automatically at the end of the recorded data. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the SONG [START/STOP] button.
To mute a track so that it doesn’t play back, press the corresponding track button
so that its indicator goes out (press again to turn the track back on).
The current measure number appears on the display during playback.
It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback. In this case, the playback voice and the voice you play on the keyboard are not the same. The playback voice is the voice that was set when the data was recorded. The voice you play on the keyboard is the voice that is selected on the panel.
The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control and [TEMPO/FUNCTION ▼, ▲] buttons (press both [TEMPO/FUNCTION ▼, ▲] buttons simultaneously to recall the default tempo).
All user song recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the power is turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store it to an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump function described on page 32.
The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if the user song recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so that the corresponding green indicators light before starting recorder playback. It is also a good idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data before recording. If the green indicator lights when the corresponding track button is pressed, that track contains data which will be erased and replaced by the newly-recorded data.
If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will automatically stop when playback is stopped.
During recorder playback, the volume of a track which is turned off will always be 0 (i.e. the Preset Song Part Cancel Volume function page 29 only affects preset song playback.
The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.
Playback cannot be started when the demo/preset song mode is engaged.
Playback cannot be started when the recorder contains no data, or when both track buttons
are off.
If the REVERB type is changed via the panel controls during playback, both the playback and keyboard reverb effects will be changed.
If the EFFECT type is changed via the panel controls during playback, the playback effect may be switched off in some cases.
Synchro Start ..................................................................................................................................
When the Synchro Start function is engaged, recorder playback will begin auto-
matically as soon as you start playing on the keyboard.
T o engage the Synchro Start function press the SONG [ST ART/STOP] button
while holding a track button which is ON. The rightmost dot on the display will flash at the current tempo. (Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Syncro Start function.) Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard.
If you hold a track button which is OFF while pressing the SONG [START/STOP]
button, that track will be turned ON and the Synchro Start mode will be engaged.
Soft Pedal Start/Stop ..............................................................................................................
A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack can be assigned to start or stop recorder playback using the “Soft Pedal Mode” function described on page 29. This is conve­nient for starting playback of the recorded part anytime after you have started playing.
