Yamaha PSR-1000 Manual Do Utilizador

As you can see, it is essential to determine which data 
is to be sent over which MIDI channel when 
transmitting MIDI data (page 146). The PSR-2000/1000 
also allows you to determine how the received data is 
played back. (page 147).

■ System Messages

This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI 
system. System messages include messages like Exclusive 
Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument 
manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the 
MIDI device.

The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-2000/1000 
are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI 
Implementation Chart in the separate Data List.

The following MIDI settings can be made on the PSR-
2000/1000:
• MIDI templates (preset MIDI setups for various 

• Transmit (page 146)
• Receive (page 147)
• Local Control (page 145)
• Clock (page 146)

■

Record performance data (1-16 channels) using the 
PSR-2000/1000 Auto Accompaniment features on a 
external sequencer (such as a personal computer). 
After recording, edit the data with the sequencer, then 
play it again on the PSR-2000/1000 (playback). 

When you want to use the PSR-2000/1000 as an XG-
compatible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive 
part for MIDI channels 1 to 16 to “SONG” in MIDI 
Receive (page 147).

keyboard

This section covers basic information on data 
compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can 
playback the data recorded by PSR-2000/1000, and 
whether or not the PSR-2000/1000 can playback 
commercially available song data or song data created for 
other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the 
MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to 
play back the data without any problem, or you may have 
to perform some special operations before the data can be 
played back. If you run into problems playing back data, 
please refer to the information below.

Floppy disks are the main storage medium for data used 
with various devices, including computers. Different 
devices have different systems of storing data, therefore it 
is necessary to first configure the floppy disk to the system 
of the device being used.This operation is called 
“formatting.”

• There are two types of floppy disks: MF2DD (double 

sided, double density) and MF2HD (double sided, 
high density), and each type has different formatting 
systems.

• PSR-2000/1000 can record and playback with both 

types of floppy disks.

• When formatted by the PSR-2000/1000, a 2DD disk 

stores up to 720 KB (kilobytes) and a 2HD disk stores 
up to1.44 MB (megabytes). (The figures “720 KB” and 
“1.44MB” indicate the data memory capacity. They are 
also used to indicate the format type of disk.)

• Playback is only possible when the MIDI device to be 

used is compatible with the format of the disk.
