====== Yamaha QY100 ======

A nice, portable synth and sequencer.

===== MIDI =====

To use the QY100 with other things via [[MIDI]]:

  - From the Pattern or Song modes press Menu.
  - Select Utility
  - Press Menu again
  - Select MIDI
  - Set things as you wish with the arrow and yes and no buttons:
    * MIDI SYNC: Set to External to sync to external MIDI clock. You have to put it back to Internal if you want to use it on its own.
    * MIDI CONTROL: Set to In, Out, or In/Out to send and receive MIDI data.
    * ECHO BACK: Set to Thru to make the MIDI Out port to be a MIDI through port. Set it to RecMontr if you want to filter out particular MIDI messages.
    * LOCAL ON/OFF: Set to Off if you want to disable the keyboard.
    * MIDI FILTER: You can disable one specific type of event at a time (I've never used this):
      * PB: pitch bend
      * CC: control change
      * AT: after-touch
      * Exc: system-exclusive
    * PATT OUT CH: Sets whether patterns are sent out in the first or second bunch of 8 MIDI channels.
    * XG PARM OUT: Sets whether the extra XG info. is sent out.
  - Press MENU again
  - Select FingeredZone
  - Specify which MIDI channel you want to receive data on, or All.

nbjp For more detail check the manual (linked at the bottom of this page).

nbjp I haven't tested sending and receiving data using the bulk dump feature.

When I've played regular General MIDI files from my computer through the QY100 they've sounded off, but stuff made for [[midi#yamaha_xg|Yamaha's XG MIDI]] spec have been fine. I'm pretty sure it should be fine with regular GM I'm just missing a compatibility setting somewhere.
