IMPORTANT

Check your power supply

Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified

on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector

may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the

power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in

your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially

shipped. To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the

selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the

panel.

WICHTIG

Überprüfung der Stromversorgung

Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die

örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild

an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten

Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der

Unterseite neben der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden,

muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt

werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt.

Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem

Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert

weist.

IMPORTANT

Contrôler la source d'alimentation

Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la

tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l'instrument peut être équipé

d'un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à

proximité du cordon d'alimentation.

Vérifiez que ce sélecteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de

votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d'usine.

Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le

sélecteur afin de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre

région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.

IMPORTANTE

Verifique la alimentación de corriente

Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde

con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior.

En algunas zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión en el

panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de

alimentación. Asegúrese de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la

tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad

sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza

"recta" para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al

lado del indicador del panel.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even

death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions

include, but are not limited to, the following:

●

Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The

required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

●

Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust

which may have accumulated on it.

●

Use only the supplied power cord/plug.

●

Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters

or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage

the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position

where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

●

Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the inter-

nal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no

user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning,

discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed

Yamaha service personnel.

●

Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in

damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liq-

uids which might spill into any openings.

●

Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

●

Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

●

If the power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there

is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any

unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it,

immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the electric

plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qual-

iﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or

others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited

to, the following:

●

When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an out-

let, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the

cord can damage it.

●

Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is

not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical

storms.

●

Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a

multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality,

proper sequence might result in damage to the instrument or

even injury.

●

Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or

extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater,

or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel dis-

ﬁguration or damage to the internal components.

●

Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo

equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise,

the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

●

Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it

might accidentally fall over.

●

Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.

●

Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/

one-inch from the wall), since this can cause inadequate air cir-

culation, and possibly result in the instrument overheating.

or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent

hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the

ears, consult a physician.

●

Do not place the bench in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

●

Do not play carelessly with or stand on the bench. Using it as a

tool or step-ladder or for any other purpose might result in acci-

dent or injury.

●

Only one person should sit on the bench at a time, in order to

prevent the possibility of accident or injury.

Selecting & Playing Voices

Selecting Voices

While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C1–A1 keys to select and

start the corresponding voice.

Then, when you start playing, adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the most com-

fortable listening level.

Using the Pedals

Damper (Right) Pedal

The damper pedal functions in the same way as a

damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the

damper pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer.

Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any

sustained notes.

Procedure

TIP

To understand the characteris-

tics of various voices, listen to

demo songs for each voice

(page 15).

TERMINOLOGY

Voice:

On the YDP-123, a voice

means a “tone” or “tonal color.”

NOTE

Selecting a voice automatically

engages the best-suited reverb

type and depth (page 18) for

that particular voice.

KeyVoice Name Description

C1 Grand Piano 1

Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Perfect for classical

compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic piano.

C1Grand Piano 2 Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.

D1 E.Piano 1 An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for popu-

lar music.

D1 E.Piano 2

The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft

tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard.

E1 Harpsichord 1 The deﬁnitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses

plucked strings, there is no touch response.

F1 Harpsichord 2 Mixes the same voice an octave higher for a more brilliant tone.

F1 Vibraphone Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. It has a tremolo effect

that is typical for vibraphone.

Church Organ 1

This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for

sacred music from the Baroque period.

G1

Church Organ 2

This is the organ’s full coupler sound, often associated with Bach’s

“Toccata and Fugue”.

Sostenuto (Center) Pedal

If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and

press the sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are

held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold

the pedal (as if the damper pedal had been pressed)

but all subsequently played notes will not be sus-

tained. This makes it possible to sustain a chord,

for example, while other notes are played “stac-

cato.”

Soft (Left) Pedal

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while

the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it

is pressed.

Adding Variations to the Sound – Reverb

This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that add extra depth and expression

to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.

When you select a reverb, the reverb is automatically turned on.

While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C2–E2 keys to select a reverb

type.

Adjusting Reverb Depth

Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by pressing one of the C3–G4 keys while

holding down the [VOICE] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20.

Combining Two Voices (Dual mode)

You can play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. In this way, you

can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar voices to create a thicker sound.

1. Engage Dual mode.

While holding down the [VOICE] button, press two of the C1–A1 keys at simul-

taneously (or press one key while holding another).

Refer to the voice list on page 17 for available voices.

According to the voice priority shown in the voice list (page 17), the voice

assigned to the lower keyboard will be designated as Voice 1 (the other voice will

be designated as Voice 2).

You can make the following settings only in Dual mode:

Setting the Octave

You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for Voice 1 and Voice 2 inde-

pendently. Depending on which voices you combine in Dual mode, the combi-

nation may sound better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.

While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C5–F5 keys.

Setting the Balance

You can set one voice as the main voice, and another voice as a softer, mixed voice.

While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the F5–F6 keys.

A setting of “0” produces an equal balance between the two Dual mode voices.

Settings below “0” increases the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and set-

tings above “0” increases the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.

2. Exit Dual mode and return to normal play mode.

While holding down the [VOICE] button, press one of the C1–A1 keys.

Transposition

The YDP-123’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or

down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of six semitones, and lets you easily match the pitch

of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments.

For example, if you set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way,

you can play a song as though it were in C major, and the YDP-123 will transpose it to the key of F.

While holding down the A-1 andC0 keys, press one of the F2–F3 keys to set the

desired amount of transposition.

Pressing the C3 key produces normal keyboard pitch. Pressing the key to the left of C3

(=B2) transposes the pitch of the keyboard down a semitone, the next key to the left

(=B2) transposes down a whole tone (two semitones), etc., down to the F2 key, which

transposes down six semitones. Upward transposition is accomplished in the same way

using the keys to the right of C3, up to F3, which transposes up six semitones.

Fine-tuning the Pitch

You can ﬁne-tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the YDP-

123 along with other instruments or CD music.

To tune up (in about 0.2Hz steps):

Hold down the A-1 and

B-1

keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

To tune down (in about 0.2Hz steps):

Hold down the A-1 and

YDP-123 About MIDI

ENGLISH

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for

data transmission and reception. It enables the transfer of performance

data and commands between MIDI devices and personal computers.

Using MIDI, you can control a connected MIDI device from the YDP-

123, or control the YDP-123 from a connected MIDI device or com-

puter.

MIDI connectors

MIDI [IN]: Receives MIDI data.

MIDI [OUT]: Transmits MIDI data.

MIDI [THRU]: Transmits data received at the MIDI [IN] connector, passing it through

the unit unmodiﬁed.

MIDI cables

Prepare dedicated MIDI cables.

TIP

MIDI performance data and

commands are transferred in

the form of numeric values.

TIP

Since MIDI data that can be

transmitted or received varies

depending on the type of MIDI

device, check the “MIDI Imple-

mentation Chart” to ﬁnd out

what MIDI data and commands

your devices can transmit or

YDP-123 Connecting a Personal Computer

ENGLISH

Connecting a Personal Computer

You can enjoy computer music data on the YDP-123 by connecting a computer to the MIDI jack.

There are two methods by which to connect the YDP-123 to a personal computer:

1. Use a MIDI interface and the YDP-123’s MIDI connectors (page 25).

2. Use the USB port on the computer and a USB interface (model UX16, UX96, or UX256) (page 25).

NOTE When the YDP-123 is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the YDP-123 will not

be played correctly.

“The Clavinova-Computer Connection,” is a supplementary guidebook that describes, for beginners, what you

can do with your YDP-123 and a personal computer and how to set up a YDP-123-Computer system (although the

guidebook only mentions the Clavinova, it applies equally to the YDP-123 digital piano). The document is available as

a PDF ﬁle (in English) at the following Internet address:

Clavinova Web site (English only):

http://www.yamahaclavinova.com/

Yamaha Manual Library:

http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/

NOTE Before you connect the YDP-123 to a personal computer, ﬁrst turn off the power to both the YDP-123 and the computer.

After you make the connections, turn on the power to the computer ﬁrst, then turn on the power to the YDP-123.

YDP-123 Connecting a Personal Computer

MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.

For more information about MIDI, see the “About MIDI” section (page 23).

MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving equip-

ment must be matched for proper data transfer.

This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the YDP-123 transmits or

receives MIDI data.

Setting the transmit channel

While holding down the A-1 and C0 keys, press one of the C1–E2 keys.

Setting the receive channel

While holding down the A-1 and C0 keys, press one of the C4–F5 keys.

Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the YDP-123 keyboard controls its

internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the key-

board. This situation is “Local Control On,” since the internal tone generator is con-

trolled locally by its own keyboard.

Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the YDP-123 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 con-

nector.

While holding down the A-1 and C0 keys, press the C6 key.

NOTE

Demo and preset song data are

not transmitted via MIDI.

NOTE

In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is

transmitted on its speciﬁed

channel and Voice 2 data is

transmitted on the next greater

channel number relative to the

speciﬁed channel. In this mode,

no data is transmitted if the

transmit channel is set to “OFF.”

TIP

ALL:

A “Multi-timbre” Receive mode

is available. It allows simulta-

neous reception of different

parts on all 16 MIDI channels,

enabling the YDP-123 to play

multi-channel song data

received from a music computer

or sequencer.

1+2:

A “1+2” Receive mode is avail-

able. It allows simultaneous

reception on channels 1 and 2

only, enabling the YDP-123 to

play 1 and 2 channel song data

received from a music computer

or sequencer.

TIP

Program change and other like

channel messages received will

not affect the YDP-123’s panel

settings or the notes you play

on the keyboard.

NOTE

The YDP-123 does not receive

MIDI data when it is in Demo or

YDP-123 MIDI Functions

ENGLISH

Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the YDP-123 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from

an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly-numbered

voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not

change). The YDP-123 will normally also send a MIDI program change number when-

ever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice or pro-

gram 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 trans-

mission so that voices can be selected on the YDP-123 without affecting the external

MIDI device.

While holding down the A-1 and C0 keys, press the C6 key.

Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the YDP-123 will respond to MIDI control change data received from an

external MIDI device or keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to

be affected by pedal and other “control” settings received from the controlling device

(the keyboard voice is not affected). The YDP-123 also transmits MIDI control change

information when the pedal or other appropriate controls are operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel control change data reception and transmis-

sion so that, for example, the YDP-123’s pedal and other controls can be operated with-

out affecting an external MIDI device.

While holding down the A-1 and C0 keys, press the D6 key.
