PRECAUTIONS

1. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST AND VIBRATION

Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity -- such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage.

2. AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS

Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage. Handle it with care.

3. DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR ATTEMPT REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all maintenance to qualified Yamaha service personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry will void the warranty.

4. MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE MAKING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS

Always turn the power OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. This is important to prevent damage to the unit itself as well as other connected equipment.

5. HANDLE CABLES CAREFULLY

Always plug and unplug cables -- including the AC cord -- by gripping the connector, not the cord.

6. CLEAN WITH A SOFT DRY CLOTH

Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

7. ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT POWER SUPPLY

Make sure that the power supply voltage specified on the rear panel matches your local AC mains supply. U.S./Canadian Model: 110 -- 120 V AC, 50/60 Hz General Model: 220 -- 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz

8. ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE

Since the MSS1 contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference and noise if placed too close to TV sets, radios or similar equipment. If such a problem does occur, move the MSS1 further away from the affected equipment.

9. BACKUP BATTERY

The MSS1 contains a long-life lithium battery which maintains the contents of the RAM memory even when the unit is turned OFF. With normal use the battery should last for approximately 5 years. If battery failure occurs, have the battery replaced by a qualified Yamaha service center. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself!

10. POWER-ON PROCEDURE

Always turn the MSS1 power ON first in a chain of connected MIDI devices. This is to prevent random data sometimes generated at power-on from being transmitted to subsequent devices.

1: CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS

Controls and Displays

① MESSAGES/DATA Display (LCD)

This 16-character backlit liquid-crystal display shows the MSS1's operating modes, some programming data and user prompts when needed.

② Time Code Display

The upper LED TIME CODE display shows SMPTE time code values in hours, minutes, seconds, frames and bits.

③ MIDI Data Display

In the recording and playback modes, the lower LED MIDI display shows bank, measure, beat and tempo data. In the MIDI event mode, the same display areas show command type, step number, MIDI channel number and command data.

④ SYNC LOCK Indicator

This green LED indicator shows whether the MSS1 is in its internal non-sync or sync (chase) mode. The SYNC LOCK indicator is off while the MSS1 is waiting for time code data from tape, and lights when the MSS1 is locked to the received data.

⑤ Mode Keys

These 5 keys select the MSS1's PLAY, RECORD, EDIT, CHAIN and GENERATOR modes.

⑥ UTILITY Key

The UTILITY key selects a list of utility functions including data storage and retrieval, and a SMPTE read test.

⑦ Function Keys

These 6 keys access the JOB, SONG CUE, TIME CUE, BANK, CHASE and METRONOME keys. While in the EDIT mode, the last 4 keys in this row access the REPLACE, COPY, DELETE and INSERT editing functions.

⑧ 10-key Numeric Entry Pad

A 10-key numeric entry pad for entering virtually all types of data required by the MSS1 is included on the front panel. The keys allow YES/NO selection of certain types of data as well as incrementing and decrementing data.

⑨ START & STOP Keys

The START and STOP keys, as their names imply, START and STOP most of the MSS1's major functions such as recording and playback. The STOP key is also used to cancel or exit from almost any function.

⑩ RUN and METRONOME LEDs

The RUN LED lights while the MSS1 is recording or playing, and the METRONOME LED provides a visual tempo display.

Connector Panel

① MIDI IN/OUT/OUT Connectors

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device. This is useful for reloading data which has been bulk-dumped from the MSS1 to an external MIDI data recorder or similar storage device using the MSS1's MIDI BULK OUT function. The two MIDI OUT connectors transmit MIDI timing data and control change/program change messages to the MIDI device to be synchronized by the MSS1. Internally generated MIDI data is selectively merged with data received at the MIDI IN connector and delivered via MIDI OUT.

② FOOT SW Jack

A Yamaha FC4/FC5 footswitch or equivalent connected to this jack can be used for foot control of the MSS1 START and STOP functions.

③ METRONOME OUT Jack

This 1/4" mono phone jack transmits the MSS1 metronome signal to an external amplifier or tape recorder. The internal metronome speaker is shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

④ SMPTE IN and OUT Jacks

These 1/4" mono phone jacks receive and transmit the SMPTE time code from and to the video or audio recorder used with the MSS1. The SMPTE OUT jack transmits SMPTE time code from MSS1's internal generator.

⑤ CLICK IN Jack and LEVEL Control

The 1/4" mono CLICK IN phone jack receives the click track signal from the tape to which the MIDI device is to be synchronized in order to compute and generate appropriate MIDI timing data. The LEVEL control adjusts the sensitivity of the CLICK IN input for reliable operation.

2: TIME CODE

SMPTE TIME CODE

"SMPTE" is an acronym that stands for Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and the SMPTE Time Code is a standard adopted by this organization in 1969 for the synchronization of audio, video and film reproduction equipment (although its primary use was in video). SMPTE time code is an "absolute" time addressing system since it consists of data which specifies a precise time in hours, minutes, seconds and frames. The number of frames per second used depends on the application: 30 frames per second (fps) for monochrome NTSC-standard TV, 29.97 frames per second (drop-frame) for color NTSC-standard TV, 25 frames per second for European PAL-standard TV, and 24 frames per second for film. Thus, using the 30 fps rate, 30 complete time addresses (hours, minutes, seconds and frames) are recorded on every second's worth of tape. A single time address is generally referred to as a "frame," and each time-code frame consists of 80 data bits.

SETTING THE TIME CODE FRAME RATE

Before using the MSS1 to record or read time code, it must be set to use the appropriate frame rate. The rate you choose will be determined by your own application. If the rate is unimportant (i.e. you won't be dealing with tapes or equipment which function with a specific or variable rates), then the factory-programmed 30 fps rate is a good choice.

1. From either the RECORD, EDIT or GENERATOR mode (if you are not in one of these modes, first press the RECORD, EDIT or GENERATOR key), press the UTILITY key.
2. Note that the FRAME/S job is number 1 in the UTILITY job list printed at the top right of the panel. If a number other than (01) appears following the "UTL NO.:" display on the LCD, press the "1" key on the 10-key numeric entry pad.
3. Press the ENTER key to call the selected utility job.
4. Use the NO and YES keys to select either the 30, 30DF (drop frame), 25 or 24 FRAME/S rate.
5. Press the ENTER key to set the selected frame rate and exit from the UTILITY mode.
6. Press the STOP key to exit and cancel at any stage before the last step is performed.

    H --> I["ENTER"]
    I --> J["Press 1 on 10-key pad"]

GENERATING AND RECORDING THE TIME CODE

If you're dealing with tape -- audio or video -- on which the time code has already been recorded, this step is not necessary. If you're starting with blank tape, however, the first step is to record the time code on one track of the tape. On a multitrack audio tape one of the outermost tracks are usually used -- normally the highest-numbered track. Time code is recorded on an audio or "cue" track of a video tape. You should always record a segment of time code just a little longer than the music to be worked on, or record time code for the entire length of the tape.

1. Make sure the SMPTE OUT terminal is connected to the appropriate input on your audio or video recorder.
2. Press the GENERATOR key.
3. Press the JOB key.
4. Note that START TIME is job number 1 on the GENERATOR job list printed at the top of the MSS1 panel. If a number other than (1) appears following the "JOB NO.:" display on the LCD, enter "1" via the 10-key numeric entry pad.
5. Press the ENTER key to call the START TIME job.
6. Enter the desired start hour via the 10-key pad when the "Set hour" display appears on the LCD, then press ENTER.
7. Enter the desired start minute via the 10-key pad when the "Set minute" display appears on the LCD, then press ENTER.
8. Enter the desired start second via the 10-key pad when the "Set second" display appears on the LCD, then press ENTER.
9. Enter the desired start frame via the 10-key pad when the "Set frame" display appears on the LCD, then press ENTER.
10. Press the START key to begin time code generation from the specified time.
11. Press the STOP key to end time code generation.
12. Press the STOP key to exit and cancel at any stage before the last step is performed.

THE SMPTE READ TEST

This handy test has been incorporated to let you check that the time code has been properly recorded on the tape and can be read accurately.

1. Make sure that the appropriate output from the recorder is connected to the MSS1 SMPTE IN terminal. The MSS1 will accept time code signal levels between about -24 and +4 dB.
2. Press the UTILITY key and enter the number "2" via the 10-key pad.
3. Press ENTER: "SMPTE READ TEST" will appear for a few seconds, then the "Waiting!" display will appear.
4. Rewind and play back the tape on which the time code track has been recorded.
5. If the time code is properly read the SYNC LOCK indicator will light and the received time code will be displayed on the TIME CODE LED display.
6. Press the STOP key to exit the SMPTE READ TEST.

3: RECORDING THE SYNC TEMPO DATA

TEMPO DATA AND THE MSS1 INTERNAL MEMORY CONFIGURATION

The main purpose of the MSS1 is to generate MIDI timing signals which are synchronized to a SMPTE time code signal received from an audio or video tape. The MIDI timing signals generated are used to synchronize MIDI equipment (sequencers, rhythm programmers, a digital mixer such as the Yamaha DMP7 Digital Mixing Processor, etc.) to material recorded on tape. Since the SMPTE time code provides a precise time index but no tempo information, the tempo data required by the music being worked on must be recorded into the MSS1's internal memory. Tempo data can be recorded using any of the three methods outlined below.

The MSS1 has 10 internal memory "BANKS," each of which can be individually selected, given a title, and used to record tempo data. The data for ten 10 individual "pieces" can therefore be separately recorded, selected and played back. The BANKS can also be played back in sequence using the CHAIN PLAY function described in the next section. A total of 7178 beats can be recorded in all 10 BANKS (max. 7168 in one bank). In terms of playing time, that's approximately 60 minutes at a tempo of 120 in 4/4 time.

SELECTING AND NAMING A BANK FOR RECORDING

Selecting a Bank (0 - 9)

1. Press the BANK key. If the "Set bank" display does not appear on the LCD, press the STOP key to exit whichever mode the MSS1 was in and press the BANK key again.
2. Enter the number of the desired bank via the 10-key pad (0 — 9). The entered bank number will be displayed on the BANK/COMMAND area of the MIDI data LED display. The YES> and <NO keys can also be used to move between banks.
3. Press ENTER to set the selected bank and exit the bank selection mode.
4. Press the STOP key to exit and cancel at any stage before the last step. is performed.

    A["BANK"] --> B["Set Bank"]
    B --> C{No display}
    C --> D["STOP"]
    D --> E["BANK"]
    E --> F{Bank selection}
    F --> G["ENTER"]

NAMING THE CURRENTLY SELECTED BANK

Although it's not necessary to do this, giving an appropriate name to each bank recorded makes it easier to identify their contents later (e.g. "INTRO," "BALLAD," etc.). Bank names can be a maximum of 8 characters in length.

1. In either the EDIT, RECORD or PLAY mode, press the JOB key.
2. Note that BANK NAME is number 1 in the EDIT job list printed at the top of the MSS1 panel. Enter the number "1" via the 10-key pad.
3. Press ENTER to select the BANK NAME EDIT job. The "NAME:" display will appear and an underline cursor will appear under the first character position. A down-arrow in the rightmost character position indicates that the lower-case character mode is selected, while an up-arrow indicates the upper-case mode.
4. Use the NO and YES keys to select the upper or lower-case character set.
5. Enter the first character of the bank name. Each of the numeric entry keys (0 - 9) accesses a number and three characters in sequence, as follows:

KEY	ACCESSES (Upper case mode)
0	0 A B C
1	1 D E F
2	2 G H I
3	3 J K L
4	4 M N O
5	5 P Q R
6	6 S T U
7	7 V W X
8	8 Y Z □ (Space)
9	9 # & +

1. Move the cursor to the next character position by pressing the START key. The STOP key can be used to move the cursor back to a previous character position.
2. Enter the next character and continue until the name is complete.
3. Press ENTER to set the name and exit the BANK NAME mode.

- If job 1 (BANK NAME) is selected in the CHAIN PLAY mode, the programmed bank name will be displayed for a few seconds but no changes can be made.

    F --> G["Naming (steps 4~7)"]
    G --> H["ENTER"]

SETTING THE TIME SIGNATURE

The MSS1 must be programmed with the time signature of the piece in order to produce the correct MEASURE and BEAT displays as well as MIDI song position pointer output. The MIDI song position pointer transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal is used to lock the measure and beat positions of compatible MIDI sequencers, drum machines and other equipment to those of the MSS1, so the MIDI device driven will accurately "follow" the operation of the MSS1. The MSS1 permits changing time signatures during the course of a piece by specifying different time signatures at different measure numbers.

Setting the Starting Time Signature

1. In the EDIT mode (press the EDIT key) press the JOB key and select job number 4: TIME SIGNATURE (press JOB, enter "4" then press ENTER). The default 4/4 time signature for measure 1 will be displayed on the LCD.
2. To change the starting (measure 1) time signature, press the EDIT-REPLACE (TIME CUE) key.
3. Select the first figure of the time signature using the YES and NO keys, or directly enter the number via the 10-key pad (numbers 1 through 16 are acceptable).
4. Press ENTER.
5. Select the second figure of the time signature using the YES and NO keys, or enter the figure directly via the 10-key pad (2, 4, 8 and 16 are acceptable).

TEMPO RECORDING METHOD 1 — TIME CODE + CLICK TRACK FROM TAPE

This method of recording tempo data is ideal when you have both a time code track and click (tempo) track recorded on the master tape. The click track can be created by recording the metronome output from a MIDI sequence recorder or similar device.

1. Make sure that the outputs from both the time code track and click track on the recorder are connected to the SMPTE IN and CLICK IN terminals on the MSS1, respectively.
2. Press the RECORD key to enter the RECORD mode.
3. If the SYNC LOCK indicator is not lit, press the CHASE key, press the YES key to select , then press ENTER to set the CHASE mode ON and return to the RECORD mode. The SYNC LOCK indicator should now be lit.
4. Press the START key. The SYNC LOCK indicator will go out and the "Waiting!" display will appear on the LCD.
5. Play back the tape from a point a few seconds before the beginning of the music to be recorded. When the MSS1 locks on to the received time code, the SYNC LOCK indicator will light and the TIME CODE LED display will display the received time code data. When the click track is received the MIDI MEASURE, BEAT and TEMPO displays will follow according to the programmed

time signature (see "SETTING THE TIME SIGNATURE," above). As each beat is recorded, the remaining memory display to the right of the LCD is decremented by one. Recording is stopped automatically when the memory display reaches 0000.

1. When the click track ends, press the MSS1 STOP key to automatically exit the RECORD mode and enter the PLAY mode. Stop and rewind the tape recorder.

TEMPO RECORDING METHOD 2 — TIME CODE FROM TAPE OR INTERNAL TIME CODE + MANUAL TAP

These two similar recording methods are ideal if a recorded click track is not available. The second version permits recording tempo data without receiving a time code signal from the master tape, and thus saves time as well as wear-and-tear on the master tape.

Time Code from Tape + Manual Tap

1. Make sure that the output from the time code track on the recorder is connected to the SMPTE IN terminal on the MSS1.

2. Press the RECORD key to enter the RECORD mode.

3. If the SYNC LOCK indicator is not lit, press the CHASE key, press the YES key to select , then press ENTER to set the CHASE mode ON and return to

the RECORD mode. The SYNC LOCK indicator should now be lit.

1. Press the START key. The SYNC LOCK indicator will go out and the "Waiting!" display will appear on the LCD.

2. Play back the tape from a point a few seconds before the beginning of the music to be recorded. When the MSS1 locks on to the received time code, the SYNC LOCK indicator will light and the TIME CODE LED display will display the received time code data.

3. Tap the START key at the desired tempo to record the tempo data. Tap-enter the tempo for the entire length of the piece to be recorded. The MIDI MEASURE, BEAT and TEMPO displays will follow according to the programmed time signature (see "SETTING THE TIME SIGNATURE," on page 13). As each beat is recorded, the remaining memory display to the right of the LCD is decremented by one. Recording is stopped automatically when the memory display reaches 0000.

4. When the tempo for the entire piece has been "tapped in," press the MSS1 STOP key to automatically exit the RECORD mode and enter the PLAY mode. Stop and rewind the tape recorder.

6: MIDI EVENT RECORDING, PLAYBACK AND EDITING

Unlike the normal recording and playback modes which deal with synchronizing MIDI timing information to SMPTE time code, the MIDI EVENT mode is used to transmit a sequence of MIDI program change and control change numbers in synchronization with the received time code. This can be used, for example, to synchronize operation of the Yamaha DMP7 Digital Mixing Processor to tape playback.

In the MIDI EVENT mode, each "event" to be transmitted is recorded as a single "STEP" on the MIDI LED display. A total of 1793 steps can be stored in the MSS1's internal memory.

TO SWITCH INTO AND OUT OF THE MIDI EVENT MODE

1. From the PLAY mode (press the PLAY key), press the UTILITY key, enter "10" via the 10-key pad and press ENTER.
2. The "ME PLAY:" display will appear, followed by the sequence name if programmed, indicating that the MIDI EVENT mode is active.
3. Perform step 1 again to switch back to the normal PLAY mode.

    D --> E["ME PLAY:"]

NAMING THE MIDI EVENT SEQUENCE

As with the BANK NAME job, naming the MIDI event sequence is not absolutely necessary but it helps to identify the contents of the sequence.

1. From the "ME PLAY", "ME REC" or "ME EDIT" mode (press the RECORD or EDIT key), press the JOB key, enter "1" then press ENTER.
2. The "NAME:" display will appear and an underline cursor will appear under the first character position. A down-arrow in the rightmost character position indicates that the lower-case character mode is selected, while an up-arrow indicates the upper-case mode.
3. Use the NO and YES keys to select the upper or lower-case character set.
4. Enter the first character of the bank name. Each of the numeric entry keys (0 - 9) accesses a number and three characters in sequence, as follows:

KEY	ACCESSES(Upper-case mode)
0	0 A B C
1	1 D E F
2	2 G H I
3	3 J K L
4	4 M N O
5	5 P Q R
6	6 S T U
7	7 V W X
8	8 Y Z □ (Space)
9	9 # & +

1. Move the cursor to the next character position by pressing the START key. The STOP key can be used to move the cursor back to a previous character position.
2. Enter the next character and continue until the name is complete.
3. Press ENTER to set the name and exit the NAME mode.

MIDI EVENT SEQUENCE RECORDING METHOD 1 — TIME CODE FROM TAPE OR INTERNAL TIME CODE + MANUAL TAP

With this method it is possible to specify steps in real time while reading the time code track from a tape or using the internally generated time code. Note, however, that in this case the steps are only reserved, and the EDIT mode must then be used to assign program change or control change data to be transmitted at each step.

Time Code from Tape + Manual Tap

1. Make sure that the output from the time code track on the recorder is connected to the SMPTE IN terminal on the MSS1.
2. Press the RECORD key to enter the ME REC mode.
3. If the SYNC LOCK indicator is not lit, press the CHASE key, press the YES key to select , then press ENTER to set the CHASE mode ON and return to the ME REC mode. The SYNC LOCK indicator should now be lit.
4. Press the START key. The SYNC LOCK indicator will go out and the "Waiting!" display will appear on the LCD.
5. Play back the tape from a point just before the beginning of the piece to be recorded. When the MSS1 locks on to the received time code, the SYNC LOCK indicator will light and the TIME CODE LED display will display the received time code data.
6. Tap the START key at each point you want to program an event transmission. Tap-enter the steps required for the entire length of the piece to be recorded. The MIDI STEP display will follow accordingly. Recording is stopped automatically when the memory display on the LCD reaches 0000.
7. When the steps for the entire piece have been "tapped in," press the MSS1 STOP key to automatically exit the ME REC mode and enter the ME PLAY mode. Stop and rewind the tape recorder.
8. Use the ME EDIT mode REPLACE function to assign event data to the programmed steps (see "EDITING A MIDI EVENT SEQUENCE, Event Replace" on page 35).
