Contents Copyright Notice ....................................... 2 Setting Up ......................................................
Setting Up Power Requirements Although the instrument will run either from the supplied AC adaptor or optional batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources. ■ Using an AC Power Adaptor q Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY. NOTE • Connecting the AC adaptor automatically supplies from the adaptor and battery even when batteries are installed.
Setting Up Connections CAUTION • When connecting the EZ-TP to external equipment make sure that the power to all equipment is turned off to prevent possible electrical shock or equipment damage. Also start with all volume controls turned down to their minimum settings to prevent possible damage to speakers.

Playing the EZ-TP When all preparations have been properly made, turn on the power and try playing the EZ-TP. Play by Singing 1 Turn on the power. ON STANDBY Slide the switch to the “ON” position to turn the power on. Slide the switch to the “STANDBY” position when you want to turn the power off. 2 Place the mouthpiece against your lips and sing a note. This should produce a trumpet note. ⇒ Refer to “Setting the EZ-TP To Match Your Voice” on page 14. 3 Adjust the overall volume.
Playing the EZ-TP Fingering Chart Finger the valves to produce the appropriate notes while singing the melody. * The numbers in the chart are the numbers of the valves that must be pressed to produce the corresponding notes. “0” means that no valves should be pressed (page 8).
Playing the EZ-TP ● Harmonics In the chart on the previous page you can see that the same fingering – valves 1 and 2 – is used to produce two different notes: E and A. Real trumpets function in the same way, allowing you to produce more than one note with each fingering. These are “harmonic” notes, and are produced on a real trumpet by changing your “embouchure,” or the shape of your lips against the instrument’s mouthpiece.
Playing the EZ-TP Setting the EZ-TP To Match Your Voice Select the “0” or “1” setting to match the EZ-TP to the pitch of your voice. There is generally a difference of about 1 octave between male and female voices. If the appropriate setting is not made for your voice, the notes you produce may be either too high or too low, so it is important to make the right selection. Most female and adolescent voices are best matched by the “1” setting, while the average male voice is best matched by the “0” setting.
Playing the EZ-TP Adjust the Microphone ● Microphone Volume Adjustment This step matches the sensitivity of the instrument’s MIC VOL microphone to your voice. Rotate the control clockwise to make it easier for quiet voices to produce sound. If you rotate the control counter-clockwise a louder voice will be required to produce sound. You can turn the knob counter-clockwise when you want to reduce sensitivity so that ambient sounds and noise don’t cause the instrument to sound.
Playing the EZ-TP Select Different Sounds The EZ-TP has a range of 22 different sounds. You can play using trumpet sounds, or a variety of completely different sounds. 1 Press the button so that the upper indicator lights. 2 Press the [SOUND] button. The number of the currently selected sound will appear on the display. 1 3 Use the [-]/[+] buttons to select the number of the sound you want to play.
Playing the EZ-TP Changing the Pitch (Basic Key) of the EZ-TP The default pitch of the EZ-TP is Bb – the same as most trumpets. This means that if you play a “C” on a piano-pitch score using the EZ-TP, the note produced will be different from the same note played on the piano. If you set the pitch of the EZ-TP to “C,” however, the notes produced by the EZ-TP and a piano or other “C” instrument will be the same. The EZ-TP can be set to the following keys: Bb, C, Eb, F, Fr1, and Fr2.
Playing the EZ-TP The Bb, C, Eb, or F key setting will be retained even when the power is turned off. This setting can be changed during song playback, but in this case the new setting won’t be retained in memory when the power is turned off. ● Check the Pitch Of the Bb, C, Eb, and F Keys The base pitch of the EZ-TP will change according to the selected key.
Playing the EZ-TP Tuning The tuning of the sound you play on the EZ-TP can be adjusted from A = 425 Hz to 453 Hz in 1-Hz increments. Use this feature when you want to tune the EZ-TP to other instruments. 1 Press the button so that the lower indicator lights. 2 Press the [KEY] button – the button will light. 3 Press and hold the [KEY] button use the [-]/[+] buttons to set the tuning as required. The initial default setting is A = 440 Hz.
Playing Songs The EZ-TP features a selection of 10 songs that are ideal for trumpet performance. You can use the songs as accompaniment for your own performance, as described on page 22, but here we’ll describe how to select and play the songs. In addition to the internal songs, songs downloaded from the internet can be loaded into the EZ-TP and played. Refer to page 27 for information on downloading song data – “Connecting to MIDI Devices.” Starting Song Playback 1 Press the [DEMO] button.
Playing Songs 3 Use the [-]/[+] buttons to select the song you want to listen to. Select a song from the song list provided below. p 9 NOTE • “P” appears before the internal “Preset” song numbers. Songs downloaded from a computer are loaded preceding the “P 1” song, and appear on the display as “F 1,” “F 2,” … etc. Downloaded songs are selected by using the [-]/[+] buttons in the same way as the preset songs. 4 Press the [DEMO] button. Playback of the selected song will begin.
Play With Song Accompaniment Select a song and then press one of the PLAY MODE buttons to select the play mode. The song will play without the melody (accompaniment only) so that you can play the melody yourself. There’s are even a mode in which the guide lamps show you which valves to press! SMF Format 0 songs downloaded from the internet can be used for accompaniment in the same way.
Play With Song Accompaniment Play Mode 2 – Press the Valves Indicated By the Guide Lamps In this mode you can play the melody by playing the appropriate valve fingerings in time with the song. There is no need to sing the melody in this mode. The guide lamps will show you which valves to press to finger each note. 1 Select a song and press the PLAY MODE [2] button. Press the valves indicated by the guide lamps that light red.
Play With Song Accompaniment Change the Song Tempo If the tempo of a song is too fast to play comfortably, you can slow it down (or speed it up if you like) as follows. 1 Press the button so that the lower indicator lights. 2 Press the [TEMPO] button. 3 Use the [-]/[+] buttons to set the tempo as required. Press the [-] button to incrementally decrease the tempo, or the [+] button to incrementally increase the tempo. Press the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously to recall the song’s default tempo.
Play With Song Accompaniment Velocity Curve The optimum sensitivity adjustment makes it easier to play with the broadest dynamic range in response to how loudly you sing into the mouthpiece. Sensitivity can be adjusted in five steps: a setting of “-1” or “-2” would suit a player with a louder voice, while a setting of “1” or “2” would be more appropriate for a player with a softer voice. 1 Press the button so that the upper indicator lights. 2 Press the [SET UP] button.
