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-3C 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 i n a posi tion 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 modi fy them i n any way. The instrument contains no user-servi ceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, disconti nue 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 li qui ds whi ch 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 uni t. A burni ng i tem may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or i f 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 swi tch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument i nspected 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:

ENGLISH

Power supply/AC power adaptor Location

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

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not usi ng the instrument, or duri ng electrical storms.

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

(3)-7

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunli ght, near a heater, or in a car duri ng the day) to prevent the possibil ity of panel disﬁ guration or damage to the internal components.

Handling caution

Saving data

• 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 vol ume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

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

• 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 i nstrument inspected by qualiﬁ ed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl , pl astic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

ENGLISH

• Do not rest your weight on, or pl ace heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, swi tches 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 heari ng l oss or ringing in the ears, consul t a physi cian.

Saving and backing up your data

• Depending upon the Backup Functions (page 42) settings, 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 swi tch 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 M DF3 MIDI data ﬁler.

Backing up the external media

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two external media.

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 ([STANDBY/ ON] swi tch) is i n the “ STANDBY” position, electricity is stil l ﬂowing to the instrument at the mini mum level. When you are not usi ng the instrument for a long time, make sure you unpl ug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Features

The Yamaha P-90 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, and a special “Graded Hammer” keyboard that provides graded key weight and response throughout the keyboard range. The GrandPiano1 and 2 voices feature samples recorded from a full concert grand piano. The GrandPiano1 voice features three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special “Sustain Sampling” 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-90 comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Touch Sensitivity – [TOUCH]

You can select four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — to match different playing styles and preferences.

HARD: Requires that the keys be played quite hard to produce maximum loud-

ness.

MEDIUM: Produces a fairly “standard” keyboard response. SOFT: Allows maximum loudness to be produced with relatively light key pres-

sure.

FIXED: All notes are produced at the same volume no matter how hard the key-

board is played. You can adjust the volume.

This setting does not change the weight of the keyboard.

Normal setting = MEDIUM

The touch sensitivity type will become the common setting for all voices. However, the touch sensitivity settings may have little or no effect with certain voices that are not normally responsive to keyboard dynamics. (Refer to the “Preset Voice List” on page 50.)

The P-90’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 P-90 will transpose it to the key of F.

[EFFECT] in Split Mode

Depending on the conditions, one effect type will take priority over the other. The depth will be decided according to the depth default value of the voice combination. However, using function F4 (page 38) you can change the depth value for each voice as you like. Effect depth setting via the panel controls (i.e. pressing the [–/NO] or [+/YES] buttons while holding the [EFFECT] button — see page 20) will be applied to the right voice only.

Using the Metronome

The P-90 features a built-in metronome (a device that keeps an accurate tempo) that is convenient for practicing.

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the P-90 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 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 P-90’s two-track Song Recorder allows the recording of one User Song.

ENGLISH

You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other recording device via the OUTPUT connector (page 10).

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on the P-90. A cassette tape records audio signals. The P-90 “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the P-90 produces sound based on the saved information. Therefore, recording on the P-90 may be more accurately called “saving information. ” Howe v er , this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

Notes on recording

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 of time, turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store the data to an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump function described on page 42.

1. Make all the initial settings.

Before you begin to record, select the voice you want to record (or voices if you will be using Dual or Split mode). Make any other desired settings (tempo, reverb, etc.) as well. You might also want to set the volume. You can also adjust the playback volume using [MASTER VOLUME].

Equal:

One octave is divided into tw elv e equal intervals . Currently the most popular piano tuning scale.

PureMajor/PureMinor:

Based on natural overtones, three major chords using these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound. They are sometimes used for chorus parts.

Pythagorean:

This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher, is based on the interval of a perfect 5th.

The 3rd produces swells , b ut the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

MeanTone:

This scale is an improvement of the Pythagorean in that the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. The scale became popular during the late 16th century through the late 18th century, and was used by Handel.

F2.2: Base Note

If you select a scale other than Equal Temperament, you need to specify the root. (You can specify the root note with Equal Temperament selected, but it is not effective. The base note setting is effective for tunings other than the Equal Temperament tuning.)

WerckMeister/KirnBerger:

These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the impression and feel of the songs. They were often used in the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are often used today to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

F8.2: MIDI Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the P-90 receives MIDI data.

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

ALL:

A “Multi-timbre” Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the P-90 to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

1&2:

A “1&2” Receive mode is available. It allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the P-90 to play 1 and 2 channel song data receiv ed from a music computer or sequencer.

Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the P-90’s panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard.

Sub-mode

F8.1: MIDI Transmit Channel Selection

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

In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In Split mode, right voice data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In Dual mode, Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the speciﬁed channel. In Split mode, left voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel n umber relative to the speciﬁed channel. In either mode, no data is transmitted if the tr ansmit channel is set to “OFF”.

Demo/preset song data and recorder playback data are not transmitted via MIDI.

No MIDI reception occurs when Demo/Preset Song mode is engaged.

F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the P-90 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 P90 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector.

Setting range: ON/OFF Normal setting: ON

P-90 Detailed Settings – [FUNCTION]

Page 41

F8.4: Program Change ON/OFF

F8.6: MIDI Transmit Transpose

Normally the P-90 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-90 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-90 without affecting the external MIDI device.

For information on program change numbers for each of the P-90’s voices, refer to page 56 in the MIDI Data Format section.

Setting range: ON/OFF Normal setting: ON

F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the P-90 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-90 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-90’s pedal and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

For information on control changes that can be used with the P-90, refer to the MIDI Data Format on page 56.

Setting range: ON/OFF Normal setting: ON

This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the P-90 to be transposed up or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 12 semitones. The pitch of the P-90 itself is not affected.

Setting range: -12 – 0 – 12 (in semitones) Normal setting: 0

F8.7: Panel/Status Transmit

This function causes all the current P-90 panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder, such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, which will be used to control the P-90 on playback. By transmitting the P-90 panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the P-90 will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back.

Setup Data:

Data that contains a set of panel settings for the P-90.

Procedure

1. Set up the panel controls as desired.

2. Connect the P-90 to a sequencer via MIDI, and set up the sequencer so it can receive the setup data.

3. Engage Function mode and select .

F9. Backup Functions

Backup:

You can back up some settings, such as voice selection and reverb type, so that they will not be lost when you turn off the power to the P-90.

If the backup function is turned on, the settings at power off are effective. If the backup function is turned off, the settings in memory are erased when you turn off the power. In this case, when you turn on the power to the unit, the default settings (the initial settings) will be used. (The factory setting default list is found on page 55.)

Howev er , the backup settings themselves, and the contents of the user song recorder memory, are always backed up.

CAUTION

Even if the backup function is turned on via one of the functions described below, the data will be retained in memory for only about one week if the power is not turned on during this time. If the backup period is exceeded, all settings will be reset to their default values. If you want to retain the backup settings for longer periods, be sure to turn the power on for a few minutes at least once a week.

No MIDI note/panel data transmission or data reception occurs during a bulk data dump transmit operation.

Receiving (returning) the transmitted data:

1. Connect the P-90 via MIDI to the device to which the data was previously transmitted.

2. Start sending the data from the device.

The P-90 automatically receives the data from the unit. (At this time, any data previously stored in the P-90 will be erased.)

Then, follow the usual playback procedure. (For the data to be accepted, the P-90 that receives the data

should be the same model as the one from which the data was once transmitted to the MIDI data ﬁler.)

The reload operation cannot be executed when Demo/Preset Song mode or the user song recorder is in oper ation, or when Function mode is engaged.

For more information on transmitting and receiving bulk data via MIDI, refer to the owner’s manual for the connected MIDI device.

You can turn the backup function on or off for each function group (each of the following sub-mode functions).

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 P-90, or control the P-90 from a connected MIDI device or computer.

MIDI connectors

ENGLISH

MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data. MIDI [OUT]: Tr ansmits MIDI data.

MIDI cables

MIDI Mac

PC-2 PC-1

MIDI performance data and commands are transferred in the form of numeric values.

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-90’s MIDI Implementation Chart appears on page 60.

When you are using the MIDI connectors, set the [HOST SELECT] switch to “MIDI” (page 47).

You can also obtain detailed information about MIDI from various music books and other publications.

P-90 About MIDI

Page 45

Connecting a Personal Computer

You can enjoy computer music data on the P-90 by connecting a computer to the [TO HOST] (or MIDI) connector.

When the P-90 is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the P-90 will not be pla y ed correctly.

There are three methods by which to connect the P-90 to a personal computer:

1. Connect the serial port on the computer to the P-90’s [TO HOST] connector (page 46).

2. Use a MIDI interface and the P-90’s MIDI connectors (page 47).

3. Use the USB port on the computer and the UX256, UX96, or UX16, a USB interface (page 48).

For more information, refer to the speciﬁed pages.

When connecting the P-90 to a personal computer, ﬁrst turn off the power to both the P-90 and the computer before y ou connect any cables or set the [HOST SELECT] switch. After making the connections and switch settings, turn on the power to the computer ﬁrst, then to the P-90.

If you do not use the [TO HOST] connector of the P-90, make sure you disconnect the cable from the jack. If the cable is left connected, the P-90 may not function properly.

will appear in the display if the host computer is not turned on, the connecting cable is not properly connected, the [HOST SELECT] switch is not in the proper position, or the MIDI driver or MIDI application is not active. In this situation, turn the power off to both the P-90 and the computer, and check the cable connection and the position of the [HOST SELECT] switch. Once the connection and [HOST SELECT] switch position is veriﬁed, turn the power of the computer on ﬁrst, then the P-90, and check whether the MIDI driver and MIDI application function properly.

When the [HOST SELECT] switch is set to “PC-1,” PC-2,” or “Mac ,” you can use the [TO HOST] connector, but the MIDI connectors are disabled since no data transfer occurs via the MIDI connectors. On the other hand, when the [HOST SELECT] switch is set to “MIDI,” you can use the MIDI connectors, but not the [TO HOST] connector since no data is transferred via the [TO HOST] connector.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The P-90 does not turn on. The P-90 has not been plugged in properly. Insert the adaptor plug into an AC outlet

and the adaptor socket into the unit securely. (page 8).

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

Noise from the speakers or headphones is audible.

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

The foot pedal has no effect, or the sound continuously sustains even when the foot pedal is not pressed.

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

If appears on the display, an internal malfunction has occurred. In this case, contact your Yamaha dealer.

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-90. Turn off the mobile phone, or move it further away from the P-90.

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

• Make sure that Local Control (page 40) is ON.

The pedal cord may not be properly connected. Mak e sure to securely insert the pedal cord into the [SUSTAIN] jack (page 10).

The polarity of the foot pedal is reversed. Make sure that the foot pedal plug is properly connected to the [SUSTAIN] jack before turning on the power. Do not press the pedal while turning the power on.

MIDI Data Format / MIDI-Datenformat / Format des données MIDI / Formato de datos MIDI

If you’re already very familiar with MIDI, or are using a computer to control your music hardware with computer generated MIDI messages, the data provided in this section can help you to control the P-90.

Falls Sie bereits mit MIDI vertraut sind oder einen Computer zur Erzeugung von MIDI-Steuermeldungen für die Instrumente verwenden, können Sie sich zur Steuerung des P-90 nach den im folgenden Abschnitt aufgeführten Speziﬁkationen richten.

1. NOTE ON/OFF

Data format: [9nH] -> [kk] -> [vv]

9nH = Note ON/OFF event (n = channel number) kk = Note number (Transmit: 09H ~ 78H = A-2 ~ C8 /

Receive: 00H ~ 7FH = C-2 ~ G8)*

vv = Velocity (Key ON = 01H ~ 7FH, Key OFF = 00H)

Data format: [8nH] -> [kk] -> [vv] (reception only)

8nH = Note OFF event (n = channel number) kk = Note number: 00H ~ 7FH = C-2 ~ G8 vv = Velocity

* If received value exceeds the supported range for the

selected voice, the note is adjusted by the necessary number of octaves.

2. CONTROL CHANGE

Data format: [BnH] -> [cc] -> [vv]

BnH = Control change (n = channel number) cc = Control number vv = Data Range

(1) Bank Select

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 00H Bank Select MSB 00H:Normal 20H Bank Select LSB 00H...7FH

Bank selection processing does not occur until receipt of next Program Change message.

(2) Main Volume (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 07H Volume MSB 00H...7FH

(3) Expression

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 0BH Expression MSB 00H...7FH

(4) Damper

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 40H Damper MSB 00H...7FH

(5) Sostenuto (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 42H Sostenuto 00H-3FH:off, 40H-7FH:on

(6) Soft Pedal (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 43H Soft Pedal 00H-3FH:off, 40H-7FH:on

(7) Effect1 Depth (Reverb Send Level)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 5BH Effect1 Depth 00H...7FH

Adjusts the reverb send level.

(8) Effect4 Depth (Variation Effect Send Level)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 5EH Effect4 Depth 00H...7FH

Si vous êtes très familier avec l’interface MIDI ou si vous utilisez un ordinateur pour commander votre matériel de musique au moyen de messages MIDI générés par ordinateur, les données suivantes vous seront utiles et vous aideront à commander le P-90.

SI usted está ya familiarizado con MIDI, o si emplea una computadora para controlar sus aparatos musicales con mensajes MIDI generados por computadora, los datos proporcionados en esta sección le ayudarán a controlar la P-90.

3. MODE MESSAGES

Data format: [BnH] -> [cc] -> [vv]

BnH = Control event (n = channel number) cc = Control number vv = Data Range

(1) All Sound Off

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 78H All Sound Off 00H

Switches off all sound from the channel. Does not reset Note On and Hold On conditions established by Channel Messages.

(2) Reset All Controllers

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 79H Reset All Controllers 00H

Resets controllers as follows. Controller Value Expression 127 (max) Damper Pedal 0 (off) Sostenuto 0 (off) Soft Pedal 0 (off)

(3) Local Control (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 7AH Local Control 00H (off), 7FH (on)

(4) All Notes Off

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 7BH All Notes Off 00H

Switches OFF all the notes that are currently ON on the speciﬁed channel. Any notes being held by the damper or sostenuto pedal will continue to sound until the pedal is released.

(5) Omni Off (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 7CH Omni Off 00H

Same processing as for All Notes Off.

(6) Omni On (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 7DH Omni On 00H

Same processing as for All Notes Off.

(7) Mono (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 7EH Mono 00H

Same processing as for All Sound Off.

(8) Poly (reception only)

ccH Parameter Data Range (vvH) 7FH Poly 00H

Same processing as for All Sound Off.

• When control change reception is turned OFF in the Function mode, control change data will not be transmitted or received except for Bank Select and Mode messages.

• Local on/off, OMNI on/off are not transmitted. (The appropriate note off number is supplied with “All Note Off” transmission).

• When a voice bank MSB/LSB is received, the number is stored in the internal buffer regardless of the received order, then the stored value is used to select the appropriate voice when a program change message is received.

• The Multi-timbre and Poly modes are always active. No change occurs when OMNI ON, OMNI OFF, MONO, or POLY mode messages are received.

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 v olume

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

H = Volume LSB

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

General MIDI Mode On

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

[F7H]

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 = don’t care 09H = Sub-ID #1=General MIDI Message 01H = Sub-ID #2=General MIDI On F7H = End of Exclusive

When the 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.

8. 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 the 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 = ByteCount bbH = ByteCount 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-90 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.
