MOVING UP TO MIDI (PSR-300 only)

The MIDI program change number corresponding to the number

of the selected voice is transmitted when a voice is selected.

A MIDI START message is transmitted whenever the rhythm or

accompaniment is started, and a MIDI STOP message is
transmitted whenever the rhythm or accompaniment is stopped.
The same applies to demo and chord memory start/stop
operations.

Accompaniment style, demo, chord memory, and transpose data

is not transmitted.

*Refer to the Remote Control Mode “MIDI

Implementation Chart” on page 34 for more details.

The Multi Mode

The Multi mode should be used when the PSR-300 is to be

used as a tone generator, for example, receiving data from a
second MIDI device (such as a sequencer). In this mode the
PSR-300 can receive on multiple MIDI channels, each channel
corresponding to a different voice. The PSR-300 panel
controls will not function when the Multi mode is selected.

Multi Mode Reception

In the Multi mode the PSR-300 functions as a multi-

timbre tone generator, allowing different voices to played
on all 16 MIDI channels (channel 16 is reserved for rhythm
only). Since the PSR-300 employs the Yamaha Dynamic
Voice Allocation system, it is not necessary to specify the
number of notes that can be played via each channel. A
maximum of 28 notes can be played simultaneously via all
channels.

MIDI Receive Channel Selection

MIDI note and velocity messages received on a MIDI channel will
affect only the voice selected for that channel.

Velocity sensitivity for each voice is set to a dynamic range of 48

dB linear.

SUSTAIN ON/OFF messages are ignored.

A program change number will select the voice controlled via the

channel on which it is received. The new voice number is shown
on the display for approximately 2 seconds. The program change
number is the same as the voice number (00 — 99).

Program change messages on channel 16 are ignored.
MIDI start, stop, and clock data will be ignored.

confirm that the desired

*Refer to the Multi Mode “MIDI Implementation Chart” on

page 35 for more details.

Multi Mode Transmission

The default transmit channel in the Multi mode is the

same as that in the Remote Control mode, and can be set
via the same procedure (see below). The transmitted data is
also the same as in the Remote Control mode, except that
no MIDI start/stop message transmission occurs.

Keyboard note ON/OFF data is transmitted via the specified MIDI
transmit channel, but the internal tone generator does not sound
(LOCAL OFF).

The transmitted note numbers are not affected by the instruments
TRANSPOSE setting.

When a new voice is selected, the corresponding MIDI program
change message is transmitted on the specified MIDI transmit
channel. The internal voice assigned to that transmit channel will
also change accordingly. The program change number is the
same as the voice number.

The channel-16 program change number will not be transmitted.

Refer to the Multi-mode MIDI Implementation Chart” on

page 35 for more details.

Press the numeric VOICE/STYLE [2] button while holding

the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. The current MIDI
receive channel number or “ALL” will appear on the display.
While still holding the [REC] button press the key
corresponding to the desired receive channel (C1 ... E2),
confirm that the desired channel has been selected on the
MULTI DISPLAY, then release the [REC] button. The E2 key

selects the OMNI ON mode — “ALL” appears on the display.

The receive channel setting only applies in the remote

control mode.

Press the numeric VOICE/STYLE [1] button while holding

the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. The current MIDI
transmit channel number will appear on the display. While still
holding the [REC] button press the key corresponding to the
desired transmit channel (C1
channel has been selected on the MULTI DISPLAY, then
release the [REC] button.

The transmit channel is automatically set to channel 1 and

the receive channel is automatically set to OMNI ON when the

power is initially turned ON.
