F. Multi Timbre Function
Multi Timbre is a function of a special sound module. The
sound module equipped with this function can be controlled
by several MIDI channels and can sound several Voices at
the same time. This means that you can easily make an
ensemble sound with only one multi-timbral sound module.
You do not need as many modules as there are parts in the
ensemble you will perform.
Step 1
If you wish to use this Multi Timbre function of the YPR-20,
first you need to connect a "Master" MIDI device which can
control other external MIDI devices with different MIDI
channels at the same time. Connect a MIDI master
keyboard, MIDI sequencer, MIDI-equipped personal
computer or the like.
Step 2
Next you have to activate this function. Press the MIDI/
TRANSPOSE Button and hold it down. Then press the
Voice Select Button HARPSICHORD. Repeat the same
operation once again and the Multi Timbre function will be
turned off.
When the YPR-20 is a “Slave” of one of these “Master”
machines, it can play a 5 part ensemble with 5 internal
Voices (up to 12 notes can be sounded simultaneously).
* In this case, ће YPR-20's MIDI receiving channel should be set to any
of 1 to 10.
* When the POWER is turned ON, the Multi Timbre function is not
available.
Notes on MIDI
MIDI is a uniform standard for alt MIDI-equipped
instruments and devices. However specifications of MIDI
instruments are not always the same. Making the MIDI
connection is not enough. The MIDI devices must also have
the same MIDI functions. When you wish to know about the
functions of the MIDI instrument or device, refer to its MIDI
Implementation Chart. The MIDI Implementation Chart for
the YPR-20 is on the last page of this manual.
