YAMAHA PF-15
MIDI
First - a few words about MIDI. MIDI is an acronym of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is a system
for transferring information between synths or other equipment. The information is sent in digital format using
codes laid down by the International MIDI association.
USING THE INTERFACE
When you first turn on the PF15, it will be transmitting MIDI information on channel 1, it is possible to change
this by using the mode change push button, this button also enables you to send patch changes via MIDI.
MODE CHANGE PUSH BUTTON
This push button has two functions :-
1) Pressing once only enters patch change mode. Any key then selects a patch change which is sent through
MIDI. You are then automatically returned to playing mode.
2) Pressing once and holding for a couple of seconds enters program mode. This enables you to program-in
the transmit channel number. You are then automatically returned to playing mode. On the following page is a
list of what each key will do if pressed during program mode.
TRANSPOSE LEVER (The one already on the PF15)
When you use the transpose switch of the PF15, the MIDI information sent to your module etc. will also be
transposed by the same amount. Be aware however that this will also affect the patch change and MIDI channel
setting functions (using red push button). To avoid confusion, ensure that the transpose lever is in its central (non-
transposed) position whenever you are going to press the push button, or at least be mindful of its effect.
