Thank you so much for the reply I was going through Midi A i was using all parts as i couldn`t see a template for the midi , I used a tutorial and assigned the left hand to pedal but the sound stays as a piano which is on the base unit even though it shows a signal the keyboard voicing is not changing
I wondered if there was something on the roland that needs assigning
Many regards
Colin
Hi Colin,
the MIDI Settings are described in the Tyros4 Reference Manual (from page 124).
>>>
https://uk.yamaha.com/en/support/manuals/index.html?l=en&c=keyboards&k=tyros4- Press [Function] > MIDI and make sure that "All Parts" is selected. Now press "
EDIT" (= lower "8" button) to open the settings of the currentlly loaded MIDI template "All Parts".
- Go to "
RECEIVE" tab (refer to page 128 of the Reference Manual).
- At the beginning of the list, you can see that the Channels 1 - 16 of "MIDI
A" are routed to the
SONG Parts. This is the reason that you hear only a piano sound when playing the Roland Pedal.
- Now scroll down (using the "1" or "2" buttons) until the first line of "MIDI
B" appears. You can see that the default routing is as follows:
CHANNEL PART----------------------------------------------------------
MIDI B/USB 2
CH1 KEYBOARD
MIDI B/USB 2
CH2 RIGHT 1
MIDI B/USB 2
CH3 RIGHT 2
MIDI B/USB 2
CH4 RIGHT 3
MIDI B/USB 2 CH5 LEFT...
As you can see, the
LEFT Part can be controlled on
Channel 5, but on
MIDI IN B, by default.
You have several options now:
1) The easiest way is to connect the Roland Pedal to the MIDI IN
B socket and select Transmit Channel 5 on the Roland Pedal. In this case, no changes on the Tyros are required.
or
2) If you don't want to change the Transmit Channel of the Roland Pedal, first find out which Channel is used. (In most cases it is Channel 1.) Then in the Tyros4 MIDI Settings (RECEIVE) go to the line "
MIDI B/USB 2
CH1 KEYBOARD" and change the Part from "KEYBOARD" to "
LEFT".
To save the modified MIDI template, first press "EXIT" button (to leave the EDIT display) and
go to the USER tab (!), then press "SAVE", enter a meaningful filename for your custom MIDI template and press "OK" to save it in the User drive. Make sure that your new MIDI template is
selected now (!)
or
3) If you want to use MIDI IN
A: Go to the beginning of the list in "RECEIVE" tab. Go to the line of the MIDI channel on which the Roland Pedal transmits, e.g. "
MIDI A/USB 1
CH1 SONG" and change the Part from "SONG" to "
LEFT" in this line. Press the "EXIT" button and save the modified MIDI template as described above.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Chris
