What I try to do, is to access a User voice by programchange via MIDI. When I recall a voice trough my keytar, I can only do this with a preset voice. ...
Hi Outof,
you can NOT call up User Voices via MIDI, but you CAN use REGISTRATIONS (Regs) and call up them via MIDI! (
Edit: This will work on Tyros2 - 5 and the new PSR-S975/775 models, but NOT on PSR-S970!)
When one of the Preset MIDI templates "All Parts" OR "KBD & STYLE" is activated, in MIDI screen, tab "RECEIVE", the MIDI channel 1 of Port 2 is automatically set to "KEYBOARD".
Now, connect your external keyboard/Keytar to the MIDI
B IN terminal of the Tyros5. On MIDI Channel 1 you can PLAY the Keyboard Parts of the Tyros5 in the same way as if you were playing on the
internal keyboard.
To switch through your Registrations via MIDI (also on the same MIDI Channel), you have to store ALL the Registration files in ONE folder (on the Tyros5's hard disk OR in User drive) and numerate the Reg files (at the beginning of the file name), starting with 001 (or 000). (The maximum number of files in a folder is 500).
Example: To call up the FIRST Registration file in the folder via MIDI, you have to send "MSB = 0" / "LSB = 0"
MSB LSB Reg Bank No. 0 0 - 127 001 - 128 (000 - 127)
1 0 - 127 129 - 256 (128 - 255)
2 0 - 127 257 - 384 (256 - 383)
3 0 - 115 385 - 500 (384 - 499)
A specific Registration (buttons 1 - 8 ) will be selected, when you send a
Program Change message (0 - 7), after the MSB/LSB messages.
Best regards,
Chris
P.S.
You do NOT necessarily have to work with User Voices, but you can also save the voice settings directly into
Registrations.
IF you use User Voices to make your voice settings of the keyboard parts (e.g. RIGHT 1 - 3), please keep in mind that NOT these User Voices will be stored in your Registrations, BUT
directly the actual keyboard voice settings.
