Yamaha TX 816 - System Examples; The Basic System: Further Options

SYSTEM
EXAMPLES
The TX816
is an enormously
potent digital
music device.
Using it as the
center of
a complex system, or simply
controlling it with
a single MIDI keyboard,
you
will
discover many new
ways
of using its
sophisticated features.
We offer these system examples
as
indications of
the TX81 6's
vast potential,
which will expand
as more
MIDI
devices
become available.
NOTE:
If
a
M IDI
device
is connected
to
the
TX81
6's COMMON M
I
DUN, the
modules
must be switched
to "COM MON,
if it is
connected
a
TF1's INDIVIDUAL
MIDI
IN, that
module must
be switcahed
to
"INDIVIDUAL".

1.
The
Basic
System
(see the SETTING
UP
chapter)
is
ideal for editing
and
THE BASIC
SYSTEM: controlling
the TX816
with a
DX7.
With
the
DX7 in
the
SYS
INFO UNAVAIL
FURTHER
OPTIONS
mode, it can
be used to change
the voices
in the TX816
(e.g.,
selecting DX7
voice
23
will
call
up voice
23
form
the internal
memory of the tX81
6).
However,
with
the
DX7
in SYS INFO AVAIL it
will send its own
voice
data to
the
TX81
6
Edit
Buffer,
and
the LED Display will
show
{Cu\
(Current
Voice).
In
this
way,
you have
32
more
voices available.
In fact, you can have unlimited
voices
stored
in RAM cartridges, and
"play"
them through theTXSI 6 by
pressing CARTRI
DGE
MEMORY prior
to selecting a voice.
2.
You can load all the
voice
data of a DX7
into
a
TF1
as
follows
(we'll assume
you want
to load into
module 1 only).
(a) Press
SW1
to switch module 1
to "COMMON". Then
press SW2 to switch
OFF
its
Memory
Protect. Turn
ON the Memory
Protects of
modules
2
thru
8,
or they will
also receive
the
DX7
voice
data.
(b) Set the DX7
to SYS INFO AVAIL.
Transmit
the voice
data
by
selecting MIDI
TRANSMIT?
and pressing the YES/ON
key.
(c) During
loading,
module
1's
Memory
Protect Led will light.
The Led Display
will then show All
32
DX7
voices are now in
musule 1 's internal memory.
Press SW3
to
reset
the LED Display
and SW2 to turn
ON the Memory
Protect.
(d)
Set
the DX7
to
SYS
INFO
UNAVAIL. As you
select voices
on the DX7, the
new voices will
be
selected
in
module
1
.
NOTE:
You
can load DX7
voice
data into any
number of TF1
s simultaneously,
by
switching
modules
to "COMMON" and
turning
their Memory
Protect
OFF
before
loading.
