F8: MIDI

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communica-

tion interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to
share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create
“systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and
control than is available with isolated instruments. The PSR-6000 offers a range of
MIDI functions that allow it to be used in even sophisticated MIDI systems.

The MIDI parameters available on the PSR-6000 are different according to

whether the normal play mode or Disk Orchestra/General MIDI mode is selected.
Playback of Disk Orchestra Collection and General MIDI music software disks is
described on page 43.

NOTES

• 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.

■

THE NORMAL PLAY MODE

..............................................................................................................................................

In the PSR-6000’s normal mode of operation (i.e. when the DOC/GM mode is not selected)

key on/off, voice, sustain, volume, pitch bend, and other performance data is transmitted and
received without modification directly via the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN connectors. The
receive channel is determined by the MIDI channel setting parameter described on page 104.
It is also possible to play the rhythm instrument voices via the rhythm channel (page 104). More
complex control is available through the Multi Part Setting parameters (page 105), allowing
up to 8 different voices to be controlled via different MIDI channels. It is possible, for example,
to play a number of melody parts from an external MIDI control device to the accompaniment
of the PSR-6000 ABC system.

■

THE DOC MODE

...........................................................................................................................................................................

In this mode the PSR-6000 can play Yamaha Disk Orchestra Collection (DOC) software.

MIDI data is transmitted and received in accordance with Yamaha DOC specifications.

For details refer to the “MIDI Function Tree” on page 128, the “Voice List” on page 116,

and the “GM/DOC Mode Percussion Map” on page 121.

3 Ways To Select the DOC Mode

•

Insert a DOC disk (the DOC mode is automatically selected).

•

Press the [DISK ORCHESTRA/GENERAL MIDI] button (the normal, DOC, and
General MIDI modes are selected in sequence).

•

Receive a MIDI exclusive “Switch To DOC Mode” message from an external MIDI device.
