MIDI Functions
Local Control ON/OFF .............................................................................................................................................................
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the YDP-88II
keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal
voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is
“Local Control ON” since the internal tone generator is controlled
locally by its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the YDP-88II
keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI
information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when
notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone
generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN
connector.
When using the DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit with the YDP-88II,
for example, Local Control should be turned OFF when recording
using the DOU-10 voices only, and ON when recording the YDP-88II
voices while listening to playback of the DOU-10 voices.

ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [PIANO] voice selector. If the PIANO LED is lit when
the [PIANO] voice selector is pressed, you have turned local
control OFF. If the PIANO LED is not lit when the [PIANO]
voice selector is pressed, you have turned local control ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
Control Change ON/OFF.......................................................................................................................................................
Normally the YDP-88II will respond to MIDI control change data
received from an external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the
selected YDP-88II voice to be affected by pedal and other “control”
settings received from the controlling device. The YDP-88II also
transmits MIDI control change information when one of its pedals are
operated.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change data
reception and transmission if you do not want the YDP-88II voices to
be affected by control change data received from an external device
or vice versa.

ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [E. PIANO 2] voice selector. If the E. PIANO 2 LED is
lit when the [E. PIANO 2] voice selector is pressed, you have
turned control change reception/transmission OFF. If the E.
PIANO 2 LED is not lit when the [E. PIANO 2] voice selector is
pressed, you have turned control change reception/transmission
ON.
CRelease the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
Program Change ON/OFF....................................................................................................................................................
Normally the YDP-88II will respond to MIDI program change
numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device,
causing the correspondingly numbered YDP-88II voice to be selected.
The YDP-88II will normally also send a MIDI program change
number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the corre-
spondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on the external
MIDI device if the device is set up to receive and respond to MIDI
program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program change number
reception and transmission so that voices can be selected on the YDP-
88II without affecting the external MIDI device, and vice versa.
= Program Change OFF
= Program Change ON
ZHold down the [MIDI/TRANSPOSE] button.
XPress the [E. PIANO 1] voice selector. If the E. PIANO 1 LED is
lit when the [E. PIANO 1] voice selector is pressed, you have
turned program change reception/transmission OFF. If the E.
PIANO 1 LED is not lit when the [E. PIANO 1] voice selector is
pressed, you have turned program change reception/transmission
ON.
