Yamaha YS-100 presets demo

The keyboard of my YS-100 is now of little help because of it's age and bad state. So I used my Korg SP-200 digital piano as a controller here to show some sounds. The Yamaha YS-100 is 4-op 8 voice polyphonic FM synth with some extra source waveforms and a simple effect processor.

hey man, how can i connect two synth like that?, is using midi cables? What i need and how to connect?

[vlad1gavrilchik]

Well, you need just one MIDI cable. Connect your controller keyboard MIDI OUT to synth's MIDI IN and it's done.

In this particular case I routed signal to computer and back via MIDI interface, this way gives you more control possibilities (i.e. you can send any program change, control parameter to synth in MIDI-OX software, or just filter unwanted midi messages).

@angie4josh :

On my B200 (same as YS200, but with built-in speakers) it was something like job+store+exit. It also lets you test all keys and controls and the display. You'll loose all of your sounds, settings and sequences though. I can't test it here because unfortunately I don't have this synth anymore.

@dvamateur The YS100 used the tone generation of the DX-11 / TX81Z and so has 4-op FM. But Effects were added and you could edit the sounds only in an easy edit mode and so not control everything like on the V-50 which had the same generation again.

can you please tell me how to get to the factory reset on my YS200?

I would greatly appreciate it!

Very cool setup and effects.

[spaceman1x]

It is a 4-op synth

[dvamateur]

I believe the YS100 is using FM synthesis.  Not sure if it's 4-op or 6-op, probably 4. I think the synth engine is equivalent to V50. I am surprised that the keyboard is gone though. I have a V50, and the keyboard responds to aftertouch and velocity 100% perfect. I can't say the same thing about Roland products.

Certainly, I used to layer mine with other instruments like that all the time.

Hey there. I'm just wondering if theres anyway of connecting the MIDI so the Korg plays as well as just playing the sound from the Yamaha.
