F2 Scale
After selecting "F2.y", press the [plus/YES] button to engage the scale function sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION DOWN, UP] buttons to select the desired scale function, as listed below. 

F2.1: Scale
In addition to the standard Equal Temperament tuning, the YPP-100 includes 6 classic tunings that you can select and use to play music of the corresponding period, or experiment with in a more modern context. The tunings are:

1: Equal Temperament
2: Pure Major
3: Pure Minor
4: Pythagorean
5: Mean Tone
6: Werckmeister
7: Kirnberger

Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to select the number of the desired tuning. Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings (Equal Temperament tuning).

F2.2: Base Note
Unlike Equal Temperament tuning, these classic tunings must be tuned to a specific key. Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to select the key you want the previously selected tuning to be based. The selected key will appear on the display, followed by a low bar if flat (e.g. "A_") or a high bar if sharp (e.g. "Fto").
Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default settings "C".

NOTE
The base note setting is effective for tunings other than the Equal Temperament tuning.

F3	Dual Mode Functions
After selecting "F3.Y", press the [plus/YES] button to engage the dual-mode function sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION DOWN, UP] 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.)

SHORTCUT:	You can jump directly to the dual-mode functions (F3) by pressing the [FUNCTION] button while holding the two dual-mode voice selectors.

NOTE
Dual mode function settings are set individually for each voice combination.

F3.1: Dual Balance
The volume levels of the two voices combined in the dual mode can be adjusted as required by using this function. Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to adjust the balance as required. The balance range is from 0 through 20. A setting of "10" produces equal balance between the two dual-mode voices. Settings below "10" increase the volume of the 2nd Voice in relation to the 1st Voice, and settings above "10" increase the volume of the 1st Voice in relation to the 2nd Voice ("1ST" and "2nd" is explained on page 17). Press the [minus/NO]and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).
You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.

F3.2: Dual Detune
This function makes it possible to detune the 1st and 2nd dual-mode Voices to create a thicker sound. Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to set the amount of detuning as required. The detune range is from minus 10 through 10. A setting of "0" sets both voices to the same pitch. "plus" values raise the pitch of the 1st voice while lowering the pitch of the 2nd voice, and "minus" values raise the pitch of the 2nd voice while lowering the pitch of the 1st voice. ("1ST" and "2ND" is explained on page 17). Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).

NOTE
The maximum amount of pitch variation increases toward the lower key range (plus 49/minus 49 cents at the E0 key), and decreases toward the higher key range (plus 5/minus 5 cents at the G6 key). 100 cents equal 1 semitone.

F3.3: 1st Voice Octave Shift
F3.4: 2nd Voice Octave Shift
Depending on which voices you combine using the dual mode, the combination may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave. Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to set the octave of the 1st or 2nd Voice as required ("1ST" and "2ND" is explained on page 17). The available settings are "0" for normal pitch, "minus 1" to shift the pitch down one octave, and "1" to shift the pitch up one octave. Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).

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 "2 nd" is explained on page 17). Use the [minus/NO] and 
[plus/YES] buttons to set the effect depth for the corresponding voice as required. The depth range is from 0 through 20. A setting of "0" produces no effect, while a setting of "20" produces maximum effect depth. Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting (different for each voice combination).

NOTE
The effect depth settings cannot be changed unless the EFFECT is ON. The Function mode must be exited before EFFECT can be turned ON.

F3.7: Reset
This function resets all dual-mode functions to their default values. Press the [plus/YES] button to reset the values. "End" will appear on the display when all functions have been reset.

F4	Soft Pedal Mode
This function sets the footswitch connected to the SOFT jack for normal soft pedal operation or for song start/stop operation. Use the [minus/NO] or [plus/YES] buttons to select the desired soft pedal mode. "1" engages the normal soft pedal mode, and "2" engages the start/stop mode. When the start/stop mode is engaged, the footswitch connected to the SOFT jack functions in the same way as the SONG [START/STOP] button on the panel.
Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting of "1"

F5	Metronome Volume
SHORTCUT:You can jump directly to the metronome functions by pressing the [FUNCTION] button while holding the METRONOME [START/STOP] button.

The volume of the metronome sound can be changed. After selecting "F5", use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to set the metronome volume as required. The volume range is from 1 through 20. A setting of "1" produces minimum sound, while a setting of "20" produces maximum metronome volume. Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "10".

F6	Preset Song Part Cancel Volume
This function sets the volume at which a "canceled" part is played during preset song playback (see page 16 for information on the "part-cancel" function). Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to set the volume as required. The volume range is from 0 through 20. A setting of "0" produces no sound, while a setting of "20" produces maximum volume. Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "5".
Adjust the part volume to a comfortable level to use the "canceled" part as a guide to play along with. Set to "0" if you don't want to hear the part. 

F7	MIDI Functions
After selecting "F7.y", press the [plus/YES] button to engage the MIDI function sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION DOWN, UP] 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.

YPP-100 (Set to receive on MIDI channel 1)

The MIDI system allows transmission and reception of MIDI data on 16 different channels. Multiple channels have been implemented to allow selective control of certain instruments or devices connected in series. For example, a single MIDI sequence recorder could be used to "play" two different instruments or tone generators. One of the instruments or tone generators could be set to receive only on channel 1, while the other is set to receive on channel 2. In this situation the first instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-1 information transmitted by the sequence recorder, while the second instrument or tone generator will respond only to channel-2 information. This allows the sequence recorder to "play" two completely different parts on the receiving instruments or tone generators.
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched for proper data transfer. A "Multi-timbre" receive mode is also available, which allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing the YPP-100 to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer. There's also a "1-2" mode which allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2.
Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to select the desired transmit or receive channel. The transmit channel parameter can also be turned "OFF" if you don't want the YPP-100 to transmit any MIDI data. To select the multi-timbre receive mode, set the receive channel to "ALL". Select "1-2" for multi-timbre reception on channels 1 and 2 only.
Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting: transmit equal "1"; receive = "ALL".

NOTE
In the dual mode, first voice data is transmitted on its set channel while second voice data is transmitted on the next greater channel. No data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF".
Demo/preset song data and recorder playback data are not transmitted via MIDI.
No MIDI reception occurs when the demo/preset song mode is engaged.
Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the YPP-100's panel settings or what is being played on the keyboard.

F7.3: Local Control ON/OFF

(Figure)

MIDI OUT
MIDI IN
Tone Generator

"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.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the YPP-100 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector.

Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to turn local control "On" or "OFF". 
Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "On".

F7.4: Program Change ON/OFF 	
Normally the YPP-100 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The YPP-100 will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the YPP-100 without affecting the external MIDI device.

Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to turn program change transmission and reception "On" or "OFF". 
Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "On".

NOTE
For information on program change numbers for each of the YPP-100's voices, refer to page 42 in the MIDI Data Format section.

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 YPP-100 also transmits MIDI control change information when one of its pedals or other appropriate controls are operated.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmission so that, for example, the YPP-100 pedals and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to turn control change transmission and reception "On" or "OFF". 
Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "On".

NOTE
For information on control changes that can be used with the YPP-100, refer to the MIDI Data Format on page 41.

F7.6: MIDI Transmit Transpose
This function allows the MIDI note data transmitted by the YPP-100 to be transposed up or down in semitone increments by up to plus or minus 12 semitones. The pitch of the YPP-100 itself is not affected.
Use the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons to set the desired amount of MIDI transmit transposition. The range is from "minus 12" (down one octave) through "0" (no transposition) to "12" (up one octave). 
Press the [minus/NO] and [plus/YES] buttons simultaneously to recall the default setting "0".

F7.7: Panel/Status Transmit
This function causes all the current YPP-100 panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 which will be used to control the YPP-100 on playback. By transmitting the YPP-100 panel settings and recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the YPP-100 will be automatically restored to the same settings when the performance is played back. 

Press the [plus/YES] button to transmit the panel/status data. "End" will appear on the LED display when the data has been successfully transmitted.

NOTE
See page 42 for list of the "Panel Data Contents" transmitted by this function.
Panel setting data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of the same type. Panel setting data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same model type.

F7.8: Bulk Data Dump
This function is used to transmit all data stored in the Recorder memory to a MIDI data storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, other sequence recorders, or MIDI compatible computers.
Press the [plus/YES] button to begin bulk transmission. "End" will appear on the LED display when the data has been successfully transmitted.

NOTE
User song recorder data that is transmitted to an external device can only be reloaded on a model of the same type. Recorder data can also be directly transferred to or from instruments of the same model type.
The reload operation cannot be executed when the demo/preset song mode or user song recorder is in operation, or when the Function mode is engaged.
No MIDI note/panel data transmission or data reception occurs during a bulk data dump transmit operation. 

F8	Backup Functions
After selecting "F8.y", press the [plus/YES] button to engage the backup function sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION DOWN, UP] buttons to select the desired backup function, as listed below.

NOTE
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.

Even if backup is turned on via one of the functions described below, the data will only be retained in memory for about 1 week if the power is not turned on during this time. If the backup period is exceeded, all settings will be reset to their default values. If you want to retain the backup settings for longer periods, be sure to turn the power switch on for a few minutes at least once a week.
