THNKS i have yamaha 970. i would like to select i user expantion style or voice inside my daw using msb.Lsb.Pc.
HOW can i?
Hi Musaed,
as mentioned above, User
Styles can NOT be selected via MIDI from an external MIDI device or DAW (but only
Preset Styles).
And it is NOT possible to select
Registrations via MIDI on the S970. So, you have to select the desired Style
manually on the S970.
In contrast to this,
Voices CAN be selected from a DAW of course (by using Bank Select MSB/LSB and Program Change).
If not done before, first you should activate displaying the voice numbers on the S970:
Please call up the display "[FUNCTION] ---> MENU 1 ---> UTILITY ---> Tab
CONFIG 1" and set the parameter "VOICE NUMBER" to "SHOW". Press [EXIT] to save the setting.
In the Voice select display at each Voice you should see the corresponding Voice Number.
Example: #
000-
122-
001 (= Concert Grand) means:
MSB = 0LSB = 122Yamaha Program Number = 1Important: The
MIDI Program Change Number is "
Yamaha Program Number minus 1"!
Voice numbers of Expansion Packs:
Custom Voices (e. g. in Expansion Packs you have created yourself) always have
MSB = 63 (Custom NORMAL Voices) or
MSB = 62 (Custom DRUM Voices).
The
LSB of a Pack is
automatically assigned (to the lowest free LSB #) when a Pack is created/imported. But you can change the LSB (in YEM) if needed: Simply click on a particular Pack in "My Packs", then click on "
>" button and choose "Change Bank Select LSB". There you can drag the Pack that has NO grey background to another free LSB. Close that window to save changes.
Yamaha Expansion Packs can have
fixed Voice numbers which are NOT in the Custom Voice address area (MSB 63 or MSB 62).
Hope this helps!
P.S.
You could also simply record MIDI file directly on S970 with the desired Keyboard Voice settings (Right Parts and/or Left Part). Then save this MIDI file to a USB stick and import the file in your DAW: You will have all Voice settings AND Effect settings in your project in the DAW.
P.P.S.
To play back MIDI data via USB-MIDI on the S970, the Yamaha USB-MIDI driver should be installed on the Computer. On S970 the MIDI Setup "All Parts" should be used and the Tracks in the DAW should be routed to the USB-MIDI Port named "Digital Workstation
1" (to get the MIDI data routed to the S970
SONG Parts).
Best regards,
Chris
