Setting Up
Music Rest
The YPP-100 is supplied with a music rest that can be attached to
the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control
panel.
Using the MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ................................
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)..................
A footswitch connected to the DAMPER jack will basically function
in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the
footswitch is pressed, notes played will have a long sustain. Releasing
the footswitch immediately stops (dampens) any sustained notes.
Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If
you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
If the Damper function doesnt work, or notes are sustained even when
the footswitch is not pressed, make sure that the pedal is properly
plugged into the DAMPER Jack.
Using the Soft Pedal
(connect a footswitch to the SOFT Jack)............................
A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack reduces the volume and
slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the footswitch is
pressed. The soft pedal function will not affect notes that are already
sustaining when the footswitch is pressed.
This footswitch can also be assigned to function as a start/stop
switch with the “Soft Pedal Mode” described on page 29.
Two sets of standard stereo headphones can be plugged in here for
private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is
automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into either
of the PHONES jacks.
