SIMPLE PLAYING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTIONS
Connect the MIDI OUT of your keyboard to the TX MIDI IN, and connect
the audio output of the TX to an amp/speaker system as shown. Set the
transmission channel of your keyboard to channel 1 (see the owner’s manual
for your keyboard).
When you turn the TX81Z power on, it will flash each LED, display “*YAMAHA TX81Z* <Good morn-
ing!!>” for a few seconds (this greeting can be changed, see p.46), and then display whatever function was
selected when the power was turned off. Press SINGLE/PERFORMANCE to make the display read “PLAY
SINGLE”. (You may have to press it twice,)
Press once or twice

*Perhaps the TX81Z MIDI Receive Channel does not match the Transmit Channel of your keyboard.
Press UTILITY to get the “UTILITY MODE” display. Use the PARAMETER keys to get the “Midi
Control?” display and press “YES” to get “Basic Rcv.Ch=xx”. Use the DATA ENTRY keys to set the
channel to match the MIDI output channel of your keyboard (or set it to “omni” so it will receive all
channels).
*It is possible that the voice is set so that its volume is regulated by a controller such as Foot Controller
or Breath Controller. If your keyboard has a volume control slider or a Foot Controller, try moving them
up to max position.
