While in this mode you can use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select from 20 songs. 0 TRACK [1] and [2] Buttons The YPP-100 has a 2-track recorder, and these buttons are used to select the track(s) to be recorded or played back. See page 23 for details.
Setting Up Power supply connections Using An AC Power Adaptor .............................................................. ZMake sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the YPP-100 is set to STANDBY. XConnect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, PA-5C or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack. CPlug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. CAUTION • Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any YPP-100 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
Setting Up Using the MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................ Sequenser The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the YPP-100. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the YPP-100 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the YPP-100 keyboard). More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI Functions” on page 30. Using the Damper Pedal (connect a footswitch to the DAMPER Jack) ..................
Selecting & Playing Voices Turn Power On ................................................................................................... With the AC power adaptor connected, simply press the [STANDBY/ON] switch until it locks in the ON position. When the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the power off. (Press the switch again so that it pops up.) CAUTION • Even when the switch is in the "STANDBY" position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
Playing the Demonstration Tunes Demonstration tunes are provided that effectively demonstrate each of the YPP-100’s voices. There are also 20 preset songs that you can play individually, all in sequence, or in random order. Here’s how you can select and play the demo tunes. • The demo or preset song mode cannot be engaged while a user song recorder (page 23) is in use. • No MIDI reception occurs in the demo/preset song mode. • The demo/preset song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connectors.
Playing the Demonstration Tunes Preset Song Engage the Preset Song Mode ........................................................ Press the [PRESET SONG] button to engage the preset song mode — the [PRESET SONG], TRACK [1] and [2] indicators will light. Play a Preset Song ........................................................................................
Playing the Demonstration Tunes Preset Song A-B Repeat The A-B Repeat function can be used to continuously repeat a specified phrase within a preset song. Combined with the Part Cancel function described below, this provides an excellent way to practice difficult phrases. Specify the Beginning (A) of the Phrase ............................... Select and play a preset song, then press the [FUNCTION] button at the beginning of the phrase you want to repeat.
Playing the Demonstration Tunes Preset Song Part Cancel The 20 preset songs have separate left- and right-hand parts that can be turned on and off as required so you can practice the corresponding part on the keyboard. The right-hand part is played by TRACK [1] track, and the left-hand part is played by TRACK [2] track. Turn the Desired Part Off .......................................................................
The Dual Mode The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the dual mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.
Reverb The [REVERB] button selects a number of digital reverb effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive power. To select a reverb type press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed). No reverb is produced when all indicators are off. OFF No reverb effect is selected when no REVERB indicator is lit.
The Effect The [EFFECT] button allows you to select one of the effects that can give your sound greater depth and animation.

No effect is produced when all indicators are off. OFF No effect is selected when no EFFECT indicator is lit. CHORUS Shimmering, broadening effect PHASER Adds depth to the sound.
Touch Sensitivity Four different types of keyboard touch sensitivity — HARD, MEDIUM, SOFT or FIXED — can be selected to match different playing styles and preferences. To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed). HARD The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.
Transposition The YPP-100’s TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (i.e. a maximum of one octave up or down). “Transposing” the pitch of the YPP-100 keyboard facilitates playing in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
The Metronome & Tempo Control The YPP-100 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording using the User Song Recorder feature, described in the next section. The Metronome The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. When on, the beat indicator flashes at the current tempo. Beat indicator Metronome Time Signature .................................................................
Using the User Song Recorder The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the YPP-100 keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just the lefthand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two tracks separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back.
Using the User Song Recorder Start Recording ................................................................................................. Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the SONG [START/STOP] button. The current measure number will appear on the display while recording. • A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack can be assigned to function as a start/stop switch for song recording with the “Soft Pedal Mode” described on page 29.
Using the User Song Recorder Playback To play back what you’ve recorded, first make sure that the green track indicators of the tracks you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding track button(s) so that they are lit. Then press the SONG [START/STOP] 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 SONG [START/STOP] button.
The Function Mode The [FUNCTION] button provides access to a range of functions that give the YPP-100 extraordinary versatility. The functions are categorized in groups as follows: F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 Tuning ...................................................................... Scale ........................................................................ Dual Mode Functions ............................................. Soft Pedal Mode......................................................
The Function Mode F1 Tuning After selecting “F1”, use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to lower or raise the pitch in approximately 0.2 Hz increments (the first time the [–/NO] or [+/YES] button is pressed simply switches to the tuning value display without actually changing the tuning). The overall tuning range is from 427.0 Hz to 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz). Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default value “440 Hz”.
The Function Mode F3 Dual Mode Functions After selecting “F3.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the dual-mode function submode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons to select the desired dual mode function, as listed below. If the Dual mode is not engaged “F3.-” will appear instead of “F3.Y” and the Dual mode functions cannot be selected. If this happens engage the Dual mode and proceed (See page 17 for more information on the Dual Mode.
The Function Mode F3.5: 1st Voice Effect Depth ............................................................................................................. F3.6: 2nd Voice Effect Depth ........................................................................................................... These functions make it possible to individually set the depth of the effect for the 1st and 2nd dual-mode Voices (“1st” and “2nd” is explained on page 17).
The Function Mode F7 MIDI Functions After selecting “F7.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the MIDI function sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons to select the desired MIDI function, as listed below. • Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI OUT to MIDI IN terminals. Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors. F7.1: MIDI Transmit Channel Selection ...........................................
The Function Mode F7.3: Local Control ON/OFF ............................................................................................................ MIDI OUT MIDI IN Tone Generator YPP-100 “Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the YPP-100 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.
The Function Mode F7.5: Control Change ON/OFF .......................................................................................................... Normally the YPP-100 will respond to MIDI control change data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not affected).
The Function Mode F8 Backup Functions After selecting “F8.Y”, press the [+/YES] button to engage the backup function sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION t, s] buttons to select the desired backup function, as listed below. • The backup settings themselves, and the contents of the user song recorder memory, are always backed up. • Even if the Backup is turned on, factory presets can be recalled at any time (see page 37). The factory setting list is found on page 40.
Using the MIDI Functions The YPP-100 is MIDI-compatible, featuring MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals and providing a variety of MIDI-related controls. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your YPP-100. What Is MIDI? No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and "digital instrument." In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments.
Using the MIDI Functions MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The YPP-100 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data.
Using the MIDI Functions Connecting to a Personal Computer By connecting your YPP-100’s MIDI terminals to a personal computer, you can have access to a wide variety of music software. When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the YPP-100. Use only special MIDI cables when connecting MIDI devices. ● Connect the MIDI terminals of the YPP-100 to the MIDI terminals of the personal computer.
Factory Preset Recall All dual mode, reverb, effect, touch sensitivity, tuning settings, and the settings affected by the Backup Functions can be restored to their original factory preset values by holding the G6 key (rightmost key on the keyboard) while turning the [STANDBY/ON] switch ON. This also erases all recorder data, and sets all Backup on/off settings (F8) to “OFF”. • The factory setting list is found on page 40.
