Yamaha P-200 Panel Switch (PS), Name, Organ Combination

■Panel Switch (PS)

The Panel Switch function lets you assign a function to each of

the two Panel Switches for realtime control of an external MIDI

sequencer.

This gives you the flexibility to send Start, Stop or Continue

commands to external devices like sequencers and rhythm

programmers from the P-200’s panel, i.e., you can start and

stop the external device simply by pressing the [PS] switches.

● PS1 ASSIGN (Off, Start, Continue, Stop)

When set to Off, the [PS1] will have no specific Play function.

When set to Start, Continue or Stop, you can control an external

MIDI device by pressing [PS1]. (The default setting for [PS1] is

Start.)

● PS2 ASSIGN

Same as for PS1 ASSIGN, above. (The default setting for [PS2] is

Stop.)

If you select Sys for CONTROL in the Performance Enable function (System

menu), the Panel Switch assignment you have previously set for the

currently selected Performance may actually be different, since the current

setting (System setting) in the Voice Play mode will be active. You can

change the System setting, and you can easily find which setting (Sys or

Perf) is selected in the Performance Enable function, as the letter P will

display to the left of the page number if Perf is selected.

■Name

The Name function lets you input a name (up to 16 characters

in length) for your Performances.

● PERFORMANCE NAME

The available characters include upper and lower case Roman

letters, numbers 0 ~ 9, a space and various symbols. Position the

cursor with the [1]/[q] buttons and choose the desired character

with the [ 1/NO]/[+1/YES] buttons or the [DATA ENTRY] slider.

■Organ Combination

The Organ Combination function lets you freely edit the

Organ 1 voice. This feature gives you considerable control over

the timbre and characteristics of the organ sound, so that the

range of possibilities are practically limitless.

With this feature you can literally recreate all of the classic

organ sounds, from theatre organ to rock and jazz organ, by

adjusting the flute footage levels and the attack settings, just

like on conventional organs.

To edit the organ sound, you must first select the Organ1

voice before entering Edit mode. Otherwise the CANNOT EDIT

message will display when you select the Organ 1

Combination function in Edit mode. (If this happens, simply exit

Edit mode, select the Organ 1 voice, and then reenter Edit

mode.)

● FOOTAGE (16’, 8’, 5-1/3’, 4’, 2-2/3’, 2’, 1-1/3’, 1’)

There are eight flute footages. The larger footages generate the

bass characteristics of the sound, the smaller footages generate

the treble characteristics of the sound, and those footages in

between generate the mid-range characteristics of the sound. You

can adjust the volume level of each flute footage between 0 (no

volume) and 7 (maximum volume).

When only the lowest or highest footage is activated, some notes which

exceed the legal range will not produce any sound.

● RESPONSE, ATTACK (4’, 2-2/3’, 2’, Length, Mode)

The left-most parameter, RSP (Response) determines how fast the

overall organ combination (footages in page 1) volume reaches

maximum level, between a range of 0 (fastest) and 7 (slowest).

There are three Attack footages which determine the character of

the percussive portion of the organ voice. You can adjust the

volume level of each Attack footage between 0 (no volume) and 7

(maximum volume).
