Welcome to the P50-m
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha
P50-m Piano Tone Generator!
The P50-m is an advanced tone generator with piano and
other keyboard Voices. It provides exceptionally realistic and
high-quality piano Voices — with complete 32-note polyphony —
when connected to a MIDI keyboard or when used with a
sequencer or computer. Reverb and Chorus ef fects are also built
into the Voices for a rich, natural sound.
The P50-m gives you easy and intuitive control over the
sound, including Brightness, Reverb Send, fine and coarse tuning,
and touch sensitivity. Convenient EQ sliders on the panel let you
adjust the timbre in real time. Other special controls such as
Program Change Table and MIDI OUT ensure easy and trouble
free operation when using the P50-m in General MIDI applications and with additional tone generators. What’s more, you can
combine two P50-m units together (using the Receive Mode
control) for full 64-note polyphony.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Page 8
Precautions
Your P50-m will give you years of reliable service if you follow
the simple precautions below:
■ LOCATION
Keep the instrument away from locations where it is likely to be
exposed to high temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or
humidity . Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust
accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.
■ USE THE CORRECT POWER ADAPTOR
Use only the recommended PA-3B or PA-1207 Power Adaptor
for supplying power to the instrument. Use of another adaptor
may cause serious damage to the instrument or the adaptor itself.
■ MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF WHEN MAKING OR REMOVING
CONNECTIONS
To prevent damage to the instrument and other connected
equipment, always turn off the power prior to connecting or
disconnecting cables. Also, turn the power off when the instrument is not in use, and disconnect the power adaptor during
electric storms.
■ HANDLE THE INSTRUMENT WITH CARE
Although the instrument has been constructed to withstand the
rigors of normal use for optimum sturdiness and reliability, avoid
subjecting it to strong physical shocks (such as dropping or hitting
it). Since the P50-m is a precision-made electronic device, also
avoid applying excessive force to the various controls. When
moving the instrument, first unplug the power adaptor and all
other cables to prevent damage to cords and jacks. Always unplug
cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
■ CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH
Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the
instrument, since these will damage the panel finish. Wipe clean
with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean, slightly
moistened cloth — making sure to wipe the case off again with a
dry cloth.
PRECAUTIONS
v
Page 9
■ ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Avoid using the unit near televisions, radios or other equipment
generating electromagnetic fields. Proximity to such equipment
may cause the unit to malfunction, and may generate
interference noise in the other appliance as well.
■ DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR TRY REPAIRING THE INSTRUMENT
YOURSELF
The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Never open
the case or tamper with the internal circuitry in any way, since
doing so may result in damage to the instrument. Refer all
servicing to qualified Y amaha service personnel.
■ MIDI CABLES
When connecting the instrument to other MIDI equipment, be
sure to use only high-quality cables made especially for MIDI data
transmission. Also, avoid using cables longer than 15 meters,
since long cables can result in data errors.
Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper
handling or operation.

❏An amplifier/speaker system, preferably stereo. Alternately, you
can use a set of stereo headphones.
❏ Audio connecting cables.
❏ A MIDI cable.
Making the Connections
Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to
be connected is turned off, and that the P50-m power adaptor is
not connected to an electrical outlet.
Connect one end of the MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT
1.
terminal of the MIDI keyboard and the other to the MIDI IN
terminal of the P50-m (as shown in the illustration below).
Also, make sure that the MIDI send channel on the
keyboard and the MIDI Receive Channel on the P50-m (see
page 17) are set to the same value. (Refer to the owner’s
manual of the MIDI keyboard if necessary.)
Connect the audio cables from the R and L/MONO OUTPUT
2.
jacks of the P50-m to the appropriate inputs on the amplifier

Using in Larger MIDI Systems
The P50-m is equipped with MIDI IN and OUT terminals,
allowing you to use it in any MIDI system. In the system example
shown below, the P50-m is connected to both a computer and
another tone generator. Here, the computer (with sequencer or
other music software) plays back song data using the Voices of
the P50-m and the connected tone generator.
MIDI Interface
Computer
In systems such as this, you should make sure that:
• The MIDI Receive Channel on the P50-m (see page 17) is set
to the same channel as that for the piano part (or track) on
the software.
• The MIDI OUT Mode is set to “ot2.” (See page 21.) This
ensures that the piano part data will play the Voices of the
P50-m, and not the other tone generator.
Also, if you are using General MIDI (GM) compatible software,
set the Program Change Table to “on.” (See page 18.) This
ensures that the Voices on the P50-m will match the intended
program changes in the software.

control on the P50-m.
Turn on the power of your MIDI keyboard.
2.
Make sure that all volume controls (on the P50-m and the
3.
connected amplifier) are turned down. Then, turn on the
power of your amplifier speaker system.
Finally, set the volume control on the P50-m to about the
4.
midway position initially (you can raise it later if needed),
and set the volume on the amplifier to a suitable level.
Playing the Demo Song
Now that you’ve set everything up properly, try playing the builtin Demo Song. This showcases the high-quality Voices and the
AWM2 tone generation system of the P50-m.
Simultaneously press the MASTER TUNE and NOTE SHIFT

More about Demo Song
There are actually two Demo Song modes. In the Single
Demo Play mode (described above), the currently selected
Voice is used for the Demo song. Each Voice has its own
Demo song, specially programmed to suit and showcase
that particular Voice.
In the All Demo Play mode (described below), all Demo
songs can be played back in succession.

Selecting Voices From Your MIDI
Keyboard
You can also select Voices remotely from a connected MIDI keyboard. Though the actual operation may differ depending on the
keyboard used, the general procedure is the same. (Refer to the
owner’s manual of your instrument for specific instructions.)
Make sure that your keyboard is set up to send Program
1.
Change messages.
Use your keyboard’s panel controls to select a program.
2.
Generally, if everything has been set up properly, the Voice
number on the P50-m will change, and will be the same
number as the program number you selected on your keyboard.
• Keep in mind that the Voices of the P50-m number up to 29. Program
change numbers higher than 28 select only the highest Voice (#29).
• Depending on the MIDI device you are using, the program numbers
(on the device) may not match the Voice numbers on the P50-m. This
is because the numbering system of some MIDI devices starts at #00,
rather than #01. In such a case, for example, you would use program
#12 to select Voice 13 on the P50-m.

Advanced Functions
The advanced functions are special functions not generally used
in normal operation, but for specific applications. These are also
“hidden” functions, accessed by double-clicking a button or
pressing two buttons together.
Program Change Table
The Program Change Table setting is for use with XG applications, specifically when using the P50-m to replace the piano
sounds of a connected second tone generator.
Settings: off (oFF), on
Normally (and when power is turned on), this is set to “oFF.”
When set to “oFF,” the P50-m responds only to program
changes 0 — 28. All other numbers are ignored, and the last
selected Voice stays active.
When set to “on,” the P50-m functions as a XG module for
piano parts only. In this case, program changes (0 — 5, 7)
corresponding to piano parts (according to XG) will select similar
Voices on the P50-m, and all other numbers select a “blank” silent Voice (Voice No. 29). This ensures that the P50-m will play
only the piano parts in XG song data.

The P50-m does not respond to XG System On or GM Mode On
messages.
● When Program Change Table is set to “on”
The P50-m responds to XG System On or GM Mode On messages and
performs the following:
•Resets all controllers to default or “zero” values.
•Selects Voice number 9 (the Voice most similar to GM voice 001,
Grand Piano).
•Parameters of all voices are set to the same values as the Voice
number 9 (Grand Piano).
•Sets Reverb Send of selected Voice to 040.
•Sets Transpose to 00.
Changing the Device Number
Device Number is a kind of MIDI “identification” number. This is
convenient when using two or more P50-m units together in a
MIDI chain. It is also important when sending System Exclusive
data. When each unit in a chain is assigned a different Device
Number, the controlling MIDI device can distinguish between
different units.
The “ALL” setting allows the P50-m to respond to all 16
Device Numbers. For normal operation, this should be set to
“ALL.”

Receive Mode
When connecting two P50-m units together, the Receive Mode
allows you to expand the maximum polyphony (simultaneous
number of notes) from 32 to 64.
When set to “ALL” (normal operation), the P50-m plays all
incoming MIDI notes. When set to “E0n,” the P50-m plays only
even-numbered MIDI notes. Similarly, when set to “odd,” only
odd-numbered MIDI notes are played. When combining two units
for 64-note polyphony, set the Receive Mode to “E0n” on one
unit and to “odd” on the other.
Settings: ALL, Evn (even), odd
Simultaneously press the TOUCH and MIDI CH buttons.

Changing the MIDI OUT Setting
The MIDI OUT setting determines what incoming MIDI data is
relayed via MIDI OUT terminal on the rear panel.

With “ot1,”
is relayed via the MIDI OUT terminal. With “ot2,” data received
over the selected MIDI Receive Channel (see page 17) is filtered
out, and only the data on the other channels is relayed.
Generally, when connecting another tone generator to the
MIDI OUT and using the P50-m with a sequencer or computer,
this should be set to “ot2.”
If MIDI Receive Channel is set to “ALL” or the Voice number is set to 29
(no sound), all incoming MIDI data is relayed, regardless of the MIDI
OUT setting.

Factory Set
This function restores the original factory settings of the P50-m.
When you make changes to the various controls of the P50-m,
the new settings automatically replace the original factory settings
and are retained in memory even when power is turned off. Use
Factory Set to cancel your own settings and restore the factory
settings.
Keep in mind that this function completely alters any changes you
have made to the settings. If you want to keep your custom
settings, make a note of them before using Factory Set.

Troubleshooting
Even though the P50-m is exceptionally easy to use, it may
occasionally not function as you expect it to. If that happens,
check the possible problems and solutions below before assuming
that the instrument is faulty.
Problem
No power.
No sound.
No sound when playing the P50-m from a
computer, sequencer
or external keyboard.
Possible Cause and Solution
If you are using an AC adaptor, check that the adaptor is
properly plugged into both the AC outlet and the P50-m
(See page 4.)
Check that:
• The panel volume control is set to an appropriate level.
• All connections have been properly made, including the
PHONES jack (if used), external amplifier/speaker system,
and MIDI.
• The MIDI channel settings on the P50-m match those of
the connected device.
• One of the valid Voices (numbers 0–28) has been selected.
Voice number 29 has no sound, and the P50-m has no
Voices beyond 29.
Check all MIDI connections, making sure that the MIDI OUT
of the external device is connected to the MIDI IN of the
P50-m, and that the MIDI IN of the external device is
connected to the MIDI OUT of the P50-m. (See pages 4–5.)
Also, make sure that you have turned on the connected
MIDI instrument or computer before turning on the P50-m.
If you haven’t, simply turning the P50-m off and back on
again may solve the problem.
Devices connected to
MIDI OUT do not
sound.
Try setting the MIDI OUT setting to “ot2.”

Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
Sound is distorted.
Volume is too low.
Sound is incorrect or
unexpected.
Pitch is incorrect.
Notes are cut off or
omitted.
Cannot set Reverb
and Chorus effects via
MIDI.
Check all volume settings, especially on the external
amplifier/speaker system.
Check that incoming volume and expression data is set
appropriately (not at or near minimum).
Check:
• The program change messages on your MIDI software.
• The Bright and EQ settings on the P50-m.
Check the Master Tune and Note Shift settings. Also, make
sure that there are no incoming MIDI detune messages.
The maximum polyphony of the P50-m may be exceeded.
The P50-m can play no more than 32 notes at once; for the
two-layered Voices, this is reduced to 16 (see page 27).
Check that appropriate Reverb return and Chorus return
messages are being sent.

513 bytes or more shall not be received at one time. Thus,
if a dump request for 513 bytes or more is received, the data
must be divided into packets of 512 bytes or less, and the
packets transmitted with an appropriate time interval (120
msec or more).

5.2 When MIDI OUT=ot2
Data other than Key ON/OFF messages of the receive channel specified by MIDI CH will be re-transmitted (thru out).
However if the Receive Channel is set to ALL, or if the
voice number is 29 (Silence), all data will be re-transmitted
(thru out) without change.
When the setting is changed from ot1 to ot2, the change is
made simply, without performing any management of notes
which may be currently on. In some cases this can cause
problems; switching the setting to ot2 while notes are on
can cause stuck notes on a tone generator connected to
MIDI OUT.

4. Realtime Messages
4.1 Active Sensing
Once FE has been received, failure to receive subsequent
MIDI messages for an interval greater than approximately
300 msec will cause
the same processing to be performed as when SOUND OFF,
ALL NOTE OFF, and RESET ALL CONTROLLERS are
received, and then the instrument will return to the status of
not having received FE.
5. MIDI thru out
MIDI data that is received is re-transmitted (thru out) in the
following 2 modes.
5.1 When MIDI OUT=ot1
Data received at MIDI IN is re-transmitted (thru out) without change.
If a Stereo voice is not selected, setting PAN to “random” will produce the same result as “center.”
