Yamaha RY9 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
ASSIGNING THE HARMONY VOICE TRANSMIT CHANNEL - The RY9 can
transmit MIDI signals generated by the Harmony voice (see “HARM 1, 2,
3”, page 63) in order to play an external tone generator. To do so, you must
assign the RY9’s Harmony voice channel to the same MIDI receive channel
number as the tone generator. Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE+] once or
more to access the Harmony Channel function. The abbreviation “HRM CH”
(Harmony Channel) will appear in the lower left area of the LCD, along with
the current channel assignment (“01 ~ 16”, “OFF”). Press [-1] and [+1] to
assign the RY9’s Harmony voice channel number.
Some MIDI keyboards and synthesizers have built-in sequencers, as well as floppy disk drives
which can send and receive bulk data, program change messages, etc. Consult the owner’s
manual of your keyboard or synthesizer to determine the extent of its MIDI capabilities.
The pitch bend range for the External In voice and Harmony voice is 12 (± one octave). Assign the
same setting for the pitch bend range of the external device.
