HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

How to Use This Manual

You are probably eager to play your new P50-m Piano Tone

Generator right away, rather than have to read through a lot of

instructions before you can even get a sound out of it.

However, to get the most out of your P50-m, we strongly

suggest that you read the following sections in the order given:

1) Precautions

This gives you important information on how to care for

your new P50-m, how to avoid damaging it, and how to

ensure long-term, reliable operation.

2) The Controls of the P50-m

This section introduces you to the panel controls and

connectors.

3) Setting Up and Playing Your P50-m

This very important section gets you started using your

P50-m. It guides you in connecting and setting up the

instrument for different example systems, and shows you

how to play the special Demo song.

4) Operation Guide

Once you’re familiar with everything above, go over this

comprehensive guide to all P50-m functions. You won’t

need (or want) to read everything at once, but it is there for

you to refer to when you need information about a certain

feature or function.

5) Appendix

Finally, use the sections in the Appendix as necessary.

Specifically, if you run into some problem or difficulty, refer

to the Troubleshooting section for help.

PRECAUTIONS

Precautions

Your P50-m will give you years of reliable service if you follow

the simple precautions below:

■ LOCATION

Keep the instrument away from locations where it is likely to be

exposed to high temperatures (such as direct sunlight) or

humidity. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust

accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.

■ USE THE CORRECT POWER ADAPTOR

Use only the recommended PA-3B or PA-1207 Power Adaptor

for supplying power to the instrument. Use of another adaptor

may cause serious damage to the instrument or the adaptor itself.

■ MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF WHEN MAKING OR REMOVING

CONNECTIONS

To prevent damage to the instrument and other connected

equipment, always turn off the power prior to connecting or

disconnecting cables. Also, turn the power off when the instru-

ment is not in use, and disconnect the power adaptor during

electric storms.

■ HANDLE THE INSTRUMENT WITH CARE

Although the instrument has been constructed to withstand the

rigors of normal use for optimum sturdiness and reliability, avoid

subjecting it to strong physical shocks (such as dropping or hitting

it). Since the P50-m is a precision-made electronic device, also

avoid applying excessive force to the various controls. When

moving the instrument, first unplug the power adaptor and all

other cables to prevent damage to cords and jacks. Always unplug

cables by gripping the plug firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

■ CLEAN WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the

instrument, since these will damage the panel finish. Wipe clean

with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a soft, clean, slightly

moistened cloth — making sure to wipe the case off again with a

dry cloth.

PRECAUTIONS

■ ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

Avoid using the unit near televisions, radios or other equipment

generating electromagnetic fields. Proximity to such equipment

may cause the unit to malfunction, and may generate

interference noise in the other appliance as well.

■ DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR TRY REPAIRING THE INSTRUMENT

YOURSELF

The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Never open

the case or tamper with the internal circuitry in any way, since

doing so may result in damage to the instrument. Refer all

servicing to qualified Yamaha service personnel.

■ MIDI CABLES

When connecting the instrument to other MIDI equipment, be

sure to use only high-quality cables made especially for MIDI data

transmission. Also, avoid using cables longer than 15 meters,

since long cables can result in data errors.

Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper

handling or operation.

SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR P50-m

Setting Up and Playing Your

P50-m

In this section, you’ll learn how to set up the P50-m for use with

a MIDI keyboard. You’ll also learn how to set it up for use with a

computer or sequencer and a second tone generator. Finally,

you’ll learn how to play the Demo song and hear the realistic and

dynamic Voices of the P50-m.

What You’ll Need

❏ The P50-m and the included power adaptor.

❏ A MIDI keyboard, electronic piano, or any instrument that can

output MIDI data.

❏ An amplifier/speaker system, preferably stereo. Alternately, you

can use a set of stereo headphones.

❏ Audio connecting cables.

❏ A MIDI cable.

Making the Connections

Before making any connections, make sure that all equipment to

be connected is turned off, and that the P50-m power adaptor is

not connected to an electrical outlet.

Connect one end of the MIDI cable to the MIDI OUT

terminal of the MIDI keyboard and the other to the MIDI IN

terminal of the P50-m (as shown in the illustration below).

Also, make sure that the MIDI send channel on the

keyboard and the MIDI Receive Channel on the P50-m (see

page 17) are set to the same value. (Refer to the owner’s

manual of the MIDI keyboard if necessary.)

Connect the audio cables from the R and L/MONO OUTPUT

jacks of the P50-m to the appropriate inputs on the amplifier

speaker system (as shown in the illustration below).

If the amplifier has only one input, use the L/MONO jack

on the P50-m. If you are using stereo headphones,

connect them to the front panel PHONES jack.

Connect the power adaptor to the DC IN terminal on the

P50-m and plug the adaptor into an appropriate electrical

outlet.

• Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B or

PA-1207. The use of an incompatible adaptor may result in

irreparable damage to the P50-m, and even pose a serious shock

hazard.

• Be sure to disconnect the power adaptor from the outlet when

the P50-m is not in use.

SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR P50-m

Using in Larger MIDI Systems

The P50-m is equipped with MIDI IN and OUT terminals,

allowing you to use it in any MIDI system. In the system example

shown below, the P50-m is connected to both a computer and

another tone generator. Here, the computer (with sequencer or

other music software) plays back song data using the Voices of

the P50-m and the connected tone generator.

In systems such as this, you should make sure that:

• The MIDI Receive Channel on the P50-m (see page 17) is set

to the same channel as that for the piano part (or track) on

the software.

• The MIDI OUT Mode is set to “ot2.” (See page 21.) This

ensures that the piano part data will play the Voices of the

P50-m, and not the other tone generator.

Also, if you are using General MIDI (GM) compatible software,

set the Program Change Table to “on.” (See page 18.) This

ensures that the Voices on the P50-m will match the intended

program changes in the software.

Powering Up and Playing the

Demo Song

Once you’ve connected everything properly, you’re ready to turn

the P50-m on and start playing it. However, a small word of

caution before you begin: Follow the instructions given below to

avoid possible damage to your equipment and speakers.

Computer

MIDI Interface

Tone GeneratorP50-m

SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR P50-m

Powering Up

If you haven’t done so already, press the POWER/VOL

control on the P50-m.

Turn on the power of your MIDI keyboard.

Make sure that all volume controls (on the P50-m and the

connected amplifier) are turned down. Then, turn on the

power of your amplifier speaker system.

Finally, set the volume control on the P50-m to about the

midway position initially (you can raise it later if needed),

and set the volume on the amplifier to a suitable level.

Playing the Demo Song

Now that you’ve set everything up properly, try playing the built-

in Demo Song. This showcases the high-quality Voices and the

AWM2 tone generation system of the P50-m.

Simultaneously press the MASTER TUNE and NOTE SHIFT

buttons.

The Demo song for the selected Voice starts playing

immediately and repeats indefinitely until stopped (by pressing

any panel button). (The LEDs and lamps flash in a pattern dur-

ing playback.)

More about Demo Song

There are actually two Demo Song modes. In the Single

Demo Play mode (described above), the currently selected

Voice is used for the Demo song. Each Voice has its own

Demo song, specially programmed to suit and showcase

that particular Voice.

In the All Demo Play mode (described below), all Demo

songs can be played back in succession.

SETTING UP AND PLAYING YOUR P50-m

Playing all Demo Songs

With the power off, simultaneously hold down the

MASTER TUNE and NOTE SHIFT buttons and turn the

power on.

Demo song number 1 (for Voice 01) starts playing

immediately and is followed by the other Demo songs in

succession. Playback of all songs repeats indefinitely until

stopped (by pressing any panel button). (The LEDs and

lamps flash in a pattern during playback.)

Using the All Demo Play mode resets the P50-m to the original

factory settings. If you have made custom settings that you want

to keep, make a note of them before using All Demo Play.

OPERATION GUIDE

Selecting Voices From Your MIDI

Keyboard

You can also select Voices remotely from a connected MIDI key-

board. Though the actual operation may differ depending on the

keyboard used, the general procedure is the same. (Refer to the

owner’s manual of your instrument for specific instructions.)

Make sure that your keyboard is set up to send Program

Change messages.

Use your keyboard’s panel controls to select a program.

Generally, if everything has been set up properly, the Voice

number on the P50-m will change, and will be the same

number as the program number you selected on your key-

board.

• Keep in mind that the Voices of the P50-m number up to 29. Program

change numbers higher than 28 select only the highest Voice (#29).

• Depending on the MIDI device you are using, the program numbers

(on the device) may not match the Voice numbers on the P50-m. This

is because the numbering system of some MIDI devices starts at #00,

rather than #01. In such a case, for example, you would use program

#12 to select Voice 13 on the P50-m.

OPERATION GUIDE

Tone Controls

The Tone controls of the P50-m, BRIGHT and REVERB SEND,

let you adjust the sound of individual Voices. Brightness

(BRIGHT) determines the tonal quality of the Voice, while Reverb

Send determines how much Reverb effect is applied to the

selected Voice.

Both of these controls let you make independent settings for

different Voices, and all settings are automatically saved as they

are made.

Changing the Brightness of a Voice

Lower values produce a soft, mellow sound, while higher values

produce a bright, crisp sound. The normal setting is 00.

Range: –64 — 63

Press the BRIGHT button.

OPERATION GUIDE

Advanced Functions

The advanced functions are special functions not generally used

in normal operation, but for specific applications. These are also

“hidden” functions, accessed by double-clicking a button or

pressing two buttons together.

Program Change Table

The Program Change Table setting is for use with XG applica-

tions, specifically when using the P50-m to replace the piano

sounds of a connected second tone generator.

Settings: off (oFF), on

Normally (and when power is turned on), this is set to “oFF.”

When set to “oFF,” the P50-m responds only to program

changes 0 — 28. All other numbers are ignored, and the last

selected Voice stays active.

When set to “on,” the P50-m functions as a XG module for

piano parts only. In this case, program changes (0 — 5, 7)

corresponding to piano parts (according to XG) will select similar

Voices on the P50-m, and all other numbers select a “blank” si-

lent Voice (Voice No. 29). This ensures that the P50-m will play

only the piano parts in XG song data.

Double-click the SELECT button (press it twice quickly).

performs the following:

•Resets all controllers to default or “zero” values.

•Selects Voice number 9 (the Voice most similar to GM voice 001,

Grand Piano).

•Parameters of all voices are set to the same values as the Voice

number 9 (Grand Piano).

•Sets Reverb Send of selected Voice to 040.

•Sets Transpose to 00.

Changing the Device Number

Device Number is a kind of MIDI “identification” number. This is

convenient when using two or more P50-m units together in a

MIDI chain. It is also important when sending System Exclusive

data. When each unit in a chain is assigned a different Device

Number, the controlling MIDI device can distinguish between

different units.

The “ALL” setting allows the P50-m to respond to all 16

Device Numbers. For normal operation, this should be set to

“ALL.”

Settings: 01 — 16, ALL

Double-click the TOUCH button (press it twice quickly).

Use the DATA dial to change the Device Number setting.

Double-click.

OPERATION GUIDE

Receive Mode

When connecting two P50-m units together, the Receive Mode

allows you to expand the maximum polyphony (simultaneous

number of notes) from 32 to 64.

When set to “ALL” (normal operation), the P50-m plays all

incoming MIDI notes. When set to “E0n,” the P50-m plays only

even-numbered MIDI notes. Similarly, when set to “odd,” only

odd-numbered MIDI notes are played. When combining two units

for 64-note polyphony, set the Receive Mode to “E0n” on one

unit and to “odd” on the other.

Settings: ALL, Evn (even), odd

Simultaneously press the TOUCH and MIDI CH buttons.

Use the DATA dial to change the Receive Mode setting.

Both lamps light.

Receive Mode setting.

OPERATION GUIDE

Changing the MIDI OUT Setting

The MIDI OUT setting determines what incoming MIDI data is

relayed via MIDI OUT terminal on the rear panel.

With “ot1,”

all

incoming MIDI data (over all MIDI channels)

is relayed via the MIDI OUT terminal. With “ot2,” data received

over the selected MIDI Receive Channel (see page 17) is filtered

out, and only the data on the other channels is relayed.

Generally, when connecting another tone generator to the

MIDI OUT and using the P50-m with a sequencer or computer,

this should be set to “ot2.”

If MIDI Receive Channel is set to “ALL” or the Voice number is set to 29

(no sound), all incoming MIDI data is relayed, regardless of the MIDI

OUT setting.

Settings: ot1, ot2

Double-click the MIDI CH button (press it twice quickly).

Use the DATA dial to change the MIDI OUT setting.

Double-click.

Lamp flashes.

OPERATION GUIDE

Factory Set

This function restores the original factory settings of the P50-m.

When you make changes to the various controls of the P50-m,

the new settings automatically replace the original factory settings

and are retained in memory even when power is turned off. Use

Factory Set to cancel your own settings and restore the factory

settings.

Keep in mind that this function completely alters any changes you

have made to the settings. If you want to keep your custom

settings, make a note of them before using Factory Set.

Simultaneously hold down the SELECT button and turn the

power on. (The message “FAc” appears in the display.)

Factory Set resets the following parameters and values:

Voice Number 01

Brightness 00 (all voices)

Reverb Send (varies according to the Voice)

Master Tune 440 (Hz)

Note Shift 00

APPENDIX

Troubleshooting

Even though the P50-m is exceptionally easy to use, it may

occasionally not function as you expect it to. If that happens,

check the possible problems and solutions below before assuming

that the instrument is faulty.

Problem

No power.

No sound.

No sound when play-

ing the P50-m from a

computer, sequencer

or external keyboard.

Devices connected to

MIDI OUT do not

sound.

Possible Cause and Solution

If you are using an AC adaptor, check that the adaptor is

properly plugged into both the AC outlet and the P50-m

(See page 4.)

Check that:

• The panel volume control is set to an appropriate level.

• All connections have been properly made, including the

PHONES jack (if used), external amplifier/speaker system,

and MIDI.

• The MIDI channel settings on the P50-m match those of

the connected device.

• One of the valid Voices (numbers 0–28) has been selected.

Voice number 29 has no sound, and the P50-m has no

Voices beyond 29.

Check all MIDI connections, making sure that the MIDI OUT

of the external device is connected to the MIDI IN of the

P50-m, and that the MIDI IN of the external device is

connected to the MIDI OUT of the P50-m. (See pages 4–5.)

Also, make sure that you have turned on the connected

MIDI instrument or computer before turning on the P50-m.

If you haven’t, simply turning the P50-m off and back on

again may solve the problem.

Try setting the MIDI OUT setting to “ot2.”

APPENDIX

Problem

Sound is distorted.

Volume is too low.

Sound is incorrect or

unexpected.

Pitch is incorrect.

Notes are cut off or

omitted.

Cannot set Reverb

and Chorus effects via

MIDI.

Possible Cause and Solution

Check all volume settings, especially on the external

amplifier/speaker system.

Check that incoming volume and expression data is set

appropriately (not at or near minimum).

Check:

• The program change messages on your MIDI software.

• The Bright and EQ settings on the P50-m.

Check the Master Tune and Note Shift settings. Also, make

sure that there are no incoming MIDI detune messages.

The maximum polyphony of the P50-m may be exceeded.

The P50-m can play no more than 32 notes at once; for the

two-layered Voices, this is reduced to 16 (see page 27).

Check that appropriate Reverb return and Chorus return

messages are being sent.

APPENDIX

Error Messages

1.4.12 Harmonic Content

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

71 Harmonic Content

0~127 (0:-64, 64:+0, 127:+63)

This parameter adjusts the resonance specified by the voice.

Since it is a relative change parameter, it produces a boost or

cut relative to a mid-point of 64. Higher values will produce a

more distinctive sound.

Depending on the voice, the effective range of this parameter

may be narrower than the range that can be set.

SOUND LISTS & MIDI DATA

1.4.13 Release Time

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

72 Release Time

0~127 (0:–64, 64:+0, 127:+63)

This adjusts the Envelope Release Time specified by the

voice. Since it is a relative change parameter, it produces an

increase or decrease relative to a mid-point of 64.

1.4.14 Attack Time

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

73 Attack Time

0~127 (0:–64, 64:+0, 127:+63)

This parameter adjusts the Envelope Attack Time specified

by the voice. Since it is a relative change parameter, it pro-

duces an increase or decrease relative to a mid-point of 64.

1.4.15 Brightness

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

74 Brightness

0~127 (0:–64, 64:+0, 127:+63)

This parameter adjusts the Cutoff Frequency specified by

the voice. Since it is a relative change parameter, it pro-

duces an increase or decrease relative to a mid-point of 64.

Decreasing the value will make the sound more mellow.

For some voices, the effective range may be narrower than

the range of settings.

Since this parameter is remembered for each voice, the

Brightness value is stored for the currently selected voice

number, and when you change the voice number the

Brightness value will also change.

Since the Brightness which can be adjusted from the panel

is an absolute adjustment, it will not match the value set

using this parameter.

When a Brightness value of 64(+0) is received, the value

indicated on the panel will be the ideal value for the

currently selected voice.

1.4.16 Portamento Control

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

Portamento Control

0~127

When transmitting Portamento Control, you specify a

currently-sounding Note On key.

The value 0~127 specifies the Portamento Source Key

number. When Portamento Control is received, the currently

sounding note will change at a Portamento Time of 0 to the

key of the Note On that is received next on the same channel.

This is received even if Rcv PORTAMENTO = OFF.

1.4.17 Effect1 Depth (Reverb Send Level)

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

91 Effect1 Depth 0~127

This sets the send level to the Reverb effect.

Since this parameter is remembered independently for each

voice, the Reverb Send Level value of the currently selected

voice number will be stored, and when the voice number is

changed the Reverb Send Level value will also change.

1.4.18 Effect3 Depth ( Chorus Send Level )

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

93 Effect3 Depth 0~127

This sets the send level to the Chorus effect.

When the voice number is changed, this will change to the

value that is preset for each voice number.

1.4.19 Data Increment/Decrement (for RPN)

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

96 RPN Increment 0~127

97 RPN Decrement 0~127

The data bytes are ignored.

These messages increment/decrement the MSB values of

Pitch Bend Sensitivity, Fine Tune, or Coarse Tune in steps

of 1. When the value being incremented/decremented

reaches is maximum/minimum value, further change will

not occur. (Nor will incrementing Fine Tune to the maxi-

mum value cause the Coarse Tune to be incremented, etc.)

1.4.20 NRPN (Non-registered Parameter Numbers)

Cntrl No. parameter Data Range

98 NRPN LSB 0~127

99 NRPN MSB 0~127

NRPN is not received if the Part Parameter setting Rcv

NRPN = OFF.

First transmit the NRPN MSB and NRPN LSB to specify

the parameter which is to be controlled, then specify the

parameter which is to be controlled, and then use Data

Entry to set the value of the specified parameter.

Now the next NRPN can be received.

4. Realtime Messages

4.1 Active Sensing

Once FE has been received, failure to receive subsequent

MIDI messages for an interval greater than approximately

300 msec will cause

the same processing to be performed as when SOUND OFF,

ALL NOTE OFF, and RESET ALL CONTROLLERS are

received, and then the instrument will return to the status of

not having received FE.

5. MIDI thru out

MIDI data that is received is re-transmitted (thru out) in the

following 2 modes.

5.1 When MIDI OUT=ot1

Data received at MIDI IN is re-transmitted (thru out) with-

out change.

5.2 When MIDI OUT=ot2

Data other than Key ON/OFF messages of the receive chan-

nel specified by MIDI CH will be re-transmitted (thru out).

However if the Receive Channel is set to ALL, or if the

voice number is 29 (Silence), all data will be re-transmitted

(thru out) without change.

When the setting is changed from ot1 to ot2, the change is

made simply, without performing any management of notes

which may be currently on. In some cases this can cause

problems; switching the setting to ot2 while notes are on

can cause stuck notes on a tone generator connected to

MIDI OUT.
