Making Settings for Fade In/Out, Metronome, Parameter Lock, and Tap — CONFIG 1 Fade In Time, Fade Out Time, Fade Out Hold Time These determine how long it takes for the accompaniment style and song to fade in or fade out. Determines the time it takes for the volume to fade in, or go from minimum to maximum (range of 0 - 20.0 seconds).
Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Parameter Lock This function is used to “lock” the specified parameters so that they can only be changed directly via the panel controls — in other words, instead of via Registration Memory, One Touch Setting, Music Finder, or song and sequence data. PSR-2100 only Selects the desired parameter for locking/ unlocking. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Determines whether the selected parameter is locked (checkmarked) or unlocked (empty).
Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Copying and Formatting Disks — Disk This function copies all the data from one disk to another, letting you back up all your important data before editing. For instructions, see “Copying from Disk to Disk” below. F G H I This function formats a floppy disk (see below). J 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Turns the Song Auto Open function on or off. When this is set to “ON,” the PSR-2100/1100 automatically calls up the first disk song when a disk is inserted.
Making Global and Other Important Settings — Function Entering Your Name and Language Preference — Owner F Selecting a different language here may cause the following problems. • Some characters of the file names you entered may be garbled. • Files may not be accessible. Restoring the original language solves the above problems. Reading the files on the computer with a different language system may cause similar problems to those above.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices CAUTION Before connecting the PSR-2100/1100 to other electronic components, turn off the power to all the components. Before turning the power on or off to all components, set all volume levels to minimum (0). Otherwise, electrical shock or damage to the components may occur. 1 Connect your microphone to the MIC./LINE IN jack (standard 1/4" phone jack). Use an unidirectional microphone for best results. 2 Set the [MIC. LINE] switch (located next to the MIC.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices 3 Playing the sounds of the PSR-2100/1100 through an external audio system, and recording the sounds to an external recorder (AUX OUT/ OUTPUT jacks) 4 Using the Pedal (footswitch) or Foot Controller (FOOT PEDAL 1/2 jack) You can connect the PSR-2100/1100 to a wide range of audio equipment by using the AUX OUT and OUTPUT jacks. Connect as shown in the illustrations below using standard audio cables.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices 6 Connecting to a Computer (USB terminal, MIDI terminal) Connecting your PSR-2100/1100 to a computer allows you to transfer data back and forth between the two and take advantage of the powerful and versatile music software available. You can connect the devices in one of two ways: ■ Using the USB terminal ■ Using the MIDI terminals The MIDI terminals cannot be used when the USB terminal is in use.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices • When using a MIDI interface with a Macintosh series computer, connect the RS-422 terminal of the computer (modem or printer terminal) to the MIDI interface, then connect the MIDI OUT terminal on the MIDI interface to the MIDI IN terminal of the PSR2100/1100, as shown in the diagram below. MIDI IN Now let’s examine what happens when we play back a recording.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices The “controller” and “tone generator” in the illustration above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic example. Here, the player’s performance on the keyboard is captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In order to record the audio performance on an acoustic piano, special recording equipment is needed. However, since the PSR-2100/1100 features a built-in sequencer that lets you record performance data, this recording equipment is unnecessary.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices MIDI channels MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1 - 16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable. Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices MIDI Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by PSR-2100/1100, and whether or not the PSR-2100/1100 can playback commercially available song data or song data created for other instruments or on a computer.
Using Your PSR-2100/1100 with Other Devices Voice Allocation Format With MIDI, voices are assigned to specific numbers, called “program numbers.” The numbering standard (order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice allocation format.” Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice allocation format of the song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback. The PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with the following formats.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution • The PSR-2100/1100 does not turn on; there is no power. Make sure that the PSR-2100/1100 has been plugged in properly (page 16). • A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. This is normal when electrical current is applied to the instrument. • Noise is heard from the PSR-2100/1100’s speakers. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PSR-2100/1100 may produce interference.
Troubleshooting Problem 164 Possible Cause and Solution • Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch. The Scale parameter has probably been set to something other than “Equal,” changing the tuning system of the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as the Scale in the Scale Tune page (page 138). • Some channels do not properly play back when playing back song data. Make sure that playback of the relevant channel(s) is turned on (page 81).
