The EX5R Tone Generator will additionally require an external MIDI master keyboard or other MIDI
controller.
To ensure reliable error-free transmission of MIDI data always use high-quality MIDI cables obtained
from your Yamaha dealer or music equipment store. Also avoid MIDI cables that are longer than about
15 meters, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
The EX MIDI receive channel, device number, local on/off, and other parameters are available in the
UTILITY mode MIDI display described on page 274. Make sure these parameters are set to match the
corresponding settings of the external MIDI device(s) used.
For detailed MIDI specifications refer to the “MIDI Data Format” in the Data List book.
When using the EX5, EX5R, or EX7 with other MIDI equipment, it is a good idea to refer to the MIDI
specifications (implementation chart, MIDI data format) of the equipment used to ensure compatibility.
