[. . . ] Digital Piano YDP-88II IMPORTANT Check Your Power Supply Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector may be provided on the rear panel of the main keyboard unit near the power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially shipped. [. . . ] s For more precise tempo settings press the appropriate key on the keyboard while holding the [METRONOME] button.

This is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener's perspective. The recorder actually records the following data: q Notes played q Voice selection q Dual mode voices q Dual balance q Damper pedal q Soft pedal q Sostenuto pedal (not recorded as an initial setting) q Tempo (Initial setting only. ) q Dual mode octave shift Recording RECORDER PLAY REC Engage the Record Ready Mode . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

NOTE · If the metronome was on when you started recording, you'll be able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound will not be recorded. · You can record up to a maximum of about 1, 300 notes, depending on pedal usage and other factors. The [REC] button indicator will begin to flash when recorder memory is almost full, and recording will stop automatically.

The initial voice (including dual mode) and tempo settings made in step 2 of the recording procedure are actually recorded by the YDP88II. These initial settings can be changed after the recording is finished by pressing the [REC] button to engage the record ready mode, 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 [PLAY] button or a key on the keyboard, either of which will start recording and erase all previous recorded data.

Playback RECORDER PLAY REC To play back what you've recorded, simply press the RECORDER [PLAY] 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 [PLAY] button. NOTE · It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback. · The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME] and [TEMPO] controls, respectively. · If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will stop when playback is stopped. · All recorder data will be erased when the YDP-88II power is turned off. It is possible to store recorded data to an external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit by using the Bulk Dump function described on page 16. · The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.

Data Being Recorded MIDI Cable MIDI OUT MIDI IN Playback Data MIDI OUT MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI IN DOU-10 YDP-88II DOU-10 YDP-88II MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a worldstandard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create "systems" of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. For example, most MIDI keyboards (including the YDP-88II, of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc. ) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds. This same type of musical information transfer is used for MIDI sequence recording. A sequence recorder can be used to "record" MIDI data received from a YDP-88II, for example. [. . . ] Navarinou Street 13, P.
