Congratulations! Thank you for purchasing Yamaha’s MFC10 MIDI Foot Controller. The MFC10 is a versatile MIDI foot control device that can transmit program changes and control changes to control effectors, tone generators, keyboards, MIDI guitars, rhythm machines, etc.. In addition to the onboard foot controller, up to 4 optional external foot controllers or switches can also be connected to the MFC10 for increased control versatility.
Precautions !! PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE PROCEEDING !! ■ Location Do not expose the MFC10 to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage. • Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window). • High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime). • Excessive humidity. • Excessive dust. • Strong vibration.
Power Supply Use the PA-3B power adaptor (or another adaptor recommended by Yamaha) to supply the MFC10 with power from a convenient wall socket. 1 Connect the adaptor’s plug into the [DC IN] jack on the rear panel. Wrap the power cord around the cord stopper hook to prevent accidental unplugging during use. Power Adaptor Wall Socket 2 Plug the AC adaptor into any convenient AC wall socket. • Do not use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B, or other adoptors recommended by Yamaha.

Nomenclature ! ■ Rear Panel @ [FUNCTION NORMAL — MIX] Switch (see page 8, 19) Selects the mode that the MFC10 is to be operated in, Normal mode or Mix mode. # [MIDI — WX] Switch Selects whether MIDI data is received via the WX jack or the MIDI IN jack. $ [WX IN] Jack A Yamaha Wind MIDI Controller WX7/11 can be directly connected to this jack. (The MFC10 supplies electric power to the WX7/11, so the BT-7 Power Box is not needed.
MFC10 Functions When a foot switch is pressed, MIDI data (program changes/function data) stored in the MFC10’s internal memory is transmitted to external MIDI devices. • Program Change Data Program change data transmitted from the MFC10 can select voices, etc., on other MIDI devices. Bank select data can be transmitted along with program change data as well. • Function Data The MFC10 can transmit the following function data to control other MIDI devices.
MFC10 Functions • MIX mode [In this mode, Program Change Memory and Function Memory are mixed.
Normal Mode Both Program Change Memory and Function Memory can be accessed in the Normal Mode. Program Change Memory There are 128 memory allocations for Program Change data. By selecting a memory number, its stored program change is transmitted to external devices via the MIDI OUT terminal. Function Memory There are 100 memory allocations for Function data (control change etc.). By selecting a memory number, its stored function data is transmitted to external devices via the MIDI OUT terminal.
Normal Mode Program Change Memory If FUNCTION lamp is lit, press [FUNCTION], so that the lamp is off, and Program Change Memory is enabled. Program Change Memory transmits MIDI channel numbers 1-16 and program change data (001-128) that are stored in memory. There are 128 memory allocations in which Program Change data can be saved. Also, Bank Select data (00=MSB, 20=LSB) can be transmitted along with Program Change data. • Press [FUNCTION] to enable Function Memory (the FUNCTION lamp lights).
Normal Mode To change and select all digits. Press [x10] two times. If the 100's digit value is 1, it will change to 0, if it is 0 it will change to 1. (The 10's digit flashes indicating input standby.) Press [1]-[0], to select the 10's digit value. (The 1's digit flashes indicating input standby.) Once again, press [1]-[0] to select the 1's digit value. 048 126 Two times Example: To change the current Memory Number 048 to 126, press [x10], [X10], [2], [6] in that order.
Normal Mode How to Edit Memory If the FUNCTION lamp is lit, press [FUNCTION], so that the lamp is off, and Program Change Memory is enabled. 1 Select the Memory Number to be edited (see page 9). Press [MEMORY EDIT] to edit to begin editing that Memory Number. (The lamp above that foot switch and the STATUS lamp will flash.) MEMORY EDIT 2 Press [MEMORY EDIT] to cycle through the 4 edit parameters (the selected parameter’s light will flash).
Normal Mode Function Memory Press [FUNCTION], the FUNCTION lamp will light, and Function Memory is enabled. Function Memory stores and transmits MIDI data such as note on/off, control change, program change, song select, start, continue, stop, etc., in its memory. There are 100 (F00-F99) memory allocations in which Function Data can be saved. • Press [FUNCTION] to enable to Program Change Memory. (The FUNCTION lamp is off.) ■ Function Memory Control (Transmit) ...........................................
Normal Mode ■ Edit Function Memory ........................................................................ The following 9 types of MIDI data can be transmitted with Function Memory. The transmitting Channel Number and MIDI data can be stored to individual Memory Numbers.

Press [INC/YES] to increase the value shown in the LED display by 1, press [DEC/NO] to decrease the value by 1. By holding a button, values will continuously increase or decrease.
Normal Mode About the TOGGLE ON-OFF/NUMBER OF PGM settings. TOGGLE ON-OFF/NUMBER OF PGM contains the settings for “on, off, Pn1, Pn2, Pn3, Pn4”. According to the setting, you can use the foot switch to operate as a toggle on-off, or simultaneously transmit several MIDI data. TOGGLE ON-OFF settings TOGGLE ON-OFF settings can be used in Function Memory that are saved with control change data. • [on]...... Press the foot switch and the MAX value (switch on data) is continuously transmitted.
MIX Mode In the MIX mode, both Program Change data and Function data can be accessed at the same time without having to change between modes with the [FUNCTION] switch. This mode provides quick transmission of Program Change data and Function data.
