- SY22.DK Help File
-
- Loading in the file SY22.DK will setup Band-in-a-Box for the Yamaha
- SY22 multi-timbral synthesizer.
-
- It will setup:
- 1. Drum #'s for the Yamaha SY22 synthesizer.
- 2. General Midi Patch Map (assigned to factory settings of the SY22).
- 3. Startup Patches and Channels in the Midi Settings Window.
-
- To setup your SY22 do the following:
-
- - Press the MULTI button so the SY22 can receive on more than one Midi
- channel at once ( commonly reffered to as "Multi-Timbral" mode )
- - Next go to UTILITY and cursor through until you come across MIDI
- - You should see PROG CHANGE = ON/OFF ; set to ON so Band-in-a-Box can
- change the sounds of your synth according to the Styles and Songs
- - Keeping 8 Midi Channels open for Band-in-a-Box is required within a Multi
- patch (each location can be assigned an instrument and Midi channel )
- - We reccomend using one Multi patch as your Band-in-a-Box working Patch
-
- Configure a Band-in-a-Box patch for the SY22 as follows:
-
- INST BANK MIDI CHANNEL
- ---- ---- ------------
- Bass P2 3
- Piano P2 2
- Drums P1 10
- Guitar P2 7
- Strings P2 6
- Melody P2 4
- Thru P2 5
-
- You'll be using the Factory Preset sounds;P2 for Piano,Bass,Guitar,Strings,
- Melody and Thru instruments and P1 for Drums. Please note:DO NOT SEND PATCH
- CHANGES ON THE DRUMS FROM BAND-IN-A-BOX! Doing so will result in a pitched
- instrument receiving what are intended to be DRUMS. Consult your manual for
- making and saving a Multi Patch using the configuration above.
- Ensure that the MIDI OUT of your computer is going to the MIDI IN of your
- synth. Now load SY22.DK under the MIDI pulldown menu (Load Alternate
- Drum/Midi Set).That should be all that need be done to allow Band-in-a-Box
- to "talk" with your SY22. If by any chance we haven't covered everything on
- your particular synth, please consult your owners manual.
-
- Have Fun!
