Power Requirements

Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.

Using an AC Power Adaptor.

1. Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY.

WARNING

Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150, or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.

1. Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
2. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

CAUTION

Even when the instrument is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.
When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

DC IN 12V +-

Using Batteries

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument's bottom panel.
2. Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the side of the compartment.
3. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the power is on and the batteries are installed. Doing so will turn the power off.

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V "AA" size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below.

CAUTION

Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low.

Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orientation, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.

When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.

If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

You can adjust the volume balance between two voices. For example, you can set one voice as the main voice with a louder setting, and make the other voice softer. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press one of the F#4-F#5 keys.

A setting of "0" produces an equal balance between the two Dual voices. Settings below "0" increase the volume of Voice 2 in relation to Voice 1, and settings above "0" increase the volume of Voice 1 in relation to Voice 2.

2. While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press one of the C1-A1 keys (or press the [GRAND PIANO/VOICE] button) to exit Dual and return to the normal single-voice play.

Reverb in Dual

The reverb type assigned to Voice 1 will take priority. If the reverb assigned to Voice 1 is set to OFF, the reverb assigned to Voice 2 will be in effect.

Adding Variations to the Sound – Reverb

This control enables you to select four different types of reverb effect that add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.

Key	Reverb Type	Description
C2	Room	This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
C#2	Hall1	For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
D2	Hall2	For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect sim-ulates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
D#2	Stage	Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
E2	Off	No effect is applied.

Selecting a Reverb Type

While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press one of the C2-E2 keys to select a reverb type.

Adjusting Reverb Depth

While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press one of the C3-A#3 keys to adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice.

While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press the B3 key to set the reverb to the depth most suitable for the selected voice.

Reverb depth range:

0 (no effect)- 10 (maximum depth)

The default reverb type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice.

Transposition

The Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let 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 NP-30/YNP-25 will transpose it to the key of F.

Setting the amount of transposition

While holding down the [SONG▶/■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press one of the F#2-F#3 keys to set the desired amount of transposition.

To transpose the pitch down (in semitone steps)

While holding down the [SONG /■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press any key between F#2 and B2.

To transpose the pitch up (in semitone steps)

While holding down the [SONG▶/■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press any key between C#3 and F#3.

To restore the normal pitch

While holding down the [SONG▶/■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press the C3 key.

TERMINOLOGY

Transpose:

Changing the key signature. On the NP-30/YNP-25, transposing shifts the pitch of the entire keyboard.

Transposition range:

F#2 (-6 semitones)-C3 (normal pitch)-F#3 (+6 semitones)

Fine tuning of the Pitch

You can fine tune the pitch of the entire instrument. This function is useful when you play the NP-30/YNP-25 along with other instruments or CD music.

Setting the Pitch

To raise the pitch

in about 1cent steps (100 cents = 1 semitone):

Hold down the E0, F0 and G0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

To lower the pitch

in about 1cent steps (100 cents = 1 semitone):

Hold down the E0, F0 and F#0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

To restore standard pitch:

Hold down the E0, F0, F#0 and G0 keys simultaneously and press any key between C3 and B3.

Setting range: -65 + 65 cents

The default setting (0 cent) is A3=440Hz. In the 440Hz region, 1Hz=approximately 4 cents. Pressing the key 8 times for example, will set A3 at approximately 442Hz.

TERMINOLOGY

Default setting:

The "Default setting" refers to the factory setting obtained when you first turn on the power to the NP-30/YNP-25.

Touch Sensitivity

You can adjust the volume level that changes depending on how fast or strong you hit the keys. The following four settings are available.

Key	Touch Sensitivity	Description
A5	FIXED	The volume level does not change at all regardless of whether you play the keyboard soft or hard.
A#5	SOFT	The volume level does not change much when you play the keyboard soft or hard.
B5	MEDIUM	This is the standard piano touch response (default setting).
C6	HARD	The volume level changes very widely from pianissimo to fortissimo to facilitate dynamic and dramatic expression. You have to hit the keys hard to produce a loud sound.

Setting the Touch Sensitivity Type

While holding down the [GRAND PIANO] button, press one of the A5–C6 keys to select the desired touch sensitivity.

The touch sensitivity settings may have little or no effect with Church Organ 1, 2 and Harpsichord 1, 2 voices that are not normally responsive to keyboard dynamics.

Default setting: B5

Connecting MIDI Instruments

The NP-30/YNP-25 features MIDI IN/OUT terminals, allowing you to connect the NP-30/YNP-25 to other instruments and devices—including computers—and take advantage of the various performance and recording capabilities in MIDI applications.

Connecting MIDI [IN] [OUT] terminals

MIDI [IN] [OUT] terminals

Use MIDI cables to connect external MIDI devices to these connectors.

About MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard format for data transmission/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 NP-30/YNP-25, or control the NP-30/YNP-25 from a connected MIDI device or computer.

Since MIDI data that can be transmitted or received varies depending on the type of MIDI device, check the "MIDI Implementation Chart" to find out what MIDI data and commands your devices can transmit or receive. The MIDI Implementation Chart appears on page 32.

MIDI's Capability

MIDI functions enable you to transfer performance data between MIDI devices.

CAUTION

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power of all the components.

- Transferring performance data to and from another MIDI device

- Transferring MIDI data to and from a computer

You cannot transmit the voice demo songs and the piano preset songs from the NP-30/YNP-25 to another MIDI device.

For MIDI connections, use a standard (optional) MIDI cable, available at most musical instrument stores.

Connecting a Personal Computer

By connecting a computer to the MIDI terminals, you can transfer data between the NP-30/YNP-25 and the computer via MIDI.

CAUTION

When connecting the NP-30/YNP-25 to a computer, first turn off the power to both the NP-30/ YNP-25 and the computer before connecting any cables. After making connections, turn on the power to the computer first, then to the NP-30/YNP-25.

Connecting the USB port on the computer to the NP-30/YNP-25 via an optional USB-MIDI interface (such as the Yamaha UX16)

Use a USB-MIDI interface device to connect the USB port on your computer to the NP-30's/YNP-25's MIDI terminals. You must install the USB-MIDI interface (such as the UX16) driver. For more information, refer to the user's manual that came with the USB-MIDI interface device.

When the NP-30/YNP-25 is used as a tone module, performance data with voices that are not found on the NP-30/YNP-25 will not be played correctly.

You must install a software application on the computer to be able to transfer MIDI data between the NP-30/YNP-25 and a computer.

MIDI Functions

You can make detailed adjustments to MIDI settings.

MIDI Transmit/Receive Channel Selection

In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the transmitting and receiving devices must be matched for proper data transfer.

This parameter enables you to specify the channel on which the NP-30/YNP-25 transmits or receives MIDI data.

Setting the Transmit Channel

While holding down the [SONG /■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press one of the C1-E2 keys.

Setting the Receive Channel

While holding down the [SONG▶/■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press one of the C4-F5 keys.

In Dual, 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 case, no data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to "OFF."

ALL:

"Multi-timbre" Receive. This allows simultaneous reception of different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the NP-30/YNP-25 to play multi-channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

1+2:

1 + 2 Receive. This allows simultaneous reception on channels 1 and 2 only, enabling the NP-30/ YNP-25 to play 1 and 2 channel song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

Program change and other like channel messages received will not affect the NP-30's/YNP-25's panel settings or the notes you play on the keyboard.

Data for the demo song and piano preset songs cannot be transmitted via MIDI.

Local Control ON/OFF

"Local Control" refers to the fact that, normally, the NP-30/YNP-25 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is "Local Control On," since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the NP-30/YNP-25 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN terminal.

While holding down the [SONG▶/■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press the C6 key. Pressing the C6 key repeatedly toggles between Local Control On and Off.

Default setting: ON

Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the NP-30/YNP-25 will respond to MIDI program change numbers received from an external keyboard or other MIDI device, causing the same numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel (the keyboard voice does not change). The NP-30/YNP-25 will normally also send a MIDI program change number whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the same numbered voice or program 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 transmission so that voices can be selected on the NP-30/YNP-25 without affecting the external MIDI device.

While holding down the [SONG▶/■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press the C#6 key. Pressing the C#6 key repeatedly toggles between Program Change On and Off.

For information on program change numbers for each of the NP-30's/YNP-25's voices, refer to MIDI Data Format on page 28.

Default setting: ON

Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the NP-30/YNP-25 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 NP-30/YNP-25 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 transmission so that, for example, the NP-30's/YNP-25's pedal and other controls can be operated without affecting an external MIDI device.

While holding down the [SONG▶/■] and [GRAND PIANO] buttons, press the D6 key. Pressing the D6 key repeatedly toggles between Control Change On and Off.

For information on control changes that can be used with the NP-30/YNP-25, refer to MIDI Data Format on page 28.

Default setting: ON

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause and Solution
The NP-30/YNP-25 does not turn on.	The NP-30/YNP-25 has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the jack on the NP-30/YNP-25, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 11).
	The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new alkaline ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
Noise is heard from the speakers or head-phones.	The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone in close proximity to the NP-30/YNP-25. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the NP-30/YNP-25.
	The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new alkaline ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
The overall volume is low, or no sound is heard.	The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.
	Make sure a pair of headphones is not connected to the headphones jack (page 13).
	Make sure that Local Control (page 25) is ON.
	The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new alkaline ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
The sound is distorted.	If you are using manganese batteries with the instrument, try replacing them with a set of new alkaline batteries. Alternately, you could use the AC adaptor instead, or try turning down the volume.
The sustain pedal has no effect.	The pedal cable/plug may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely insert the pedal plug into the SUSTAIN jack (page 13).
