When Program Mode = "Multi", the MIDI channels set for each part number take priority over the MIDI channels set for individual samples or sample banks. A program selected with a part which is assigned to the basic channel becomes the "Master Program," and all effect, setup, and control settings made for the Master Program will affect the entire Multi setup.

[Range] -127 +127

If a sample's keyboard range is set to C3 through B3, for example, then transposing the program by -12 will shift the range for the sample to C2 through B2, so that striking key C2 will produce the sound originally associated with key C3.

If you select this option, the A5000/A4000 will delete the original disk object and replace it with the object from main memory. Abort the save operation. Push this knob to terminate the save operation without executing any further saves. Note that it is not possible to undo any saves that you have already completed.
If Knob 1 (EXEC) is used to execute the command, the display previous to the command menu will be recalled after execution has nished. If Knob 5 (EXEC&CONT) is used to execute the command, the arrange display will be retained so you can continue and perform further arrange operations.
Saving and loading to or from multiple oppy disks.
Data which is too large to t on a single oppy disk can be segmented and saved to multiple oppy disks. A conrmation display allowing you to choose to abort the save operation or save to multiple oppies will appear when saving data too large for a single oppy. Press Knob 5 (OK) to execute a multioppy save. You will not need to change disks at this point. When performing a multi-oppy save, follow the instructions on the display and insert new oppy disks as required. Unformatted disks can be used from the second disk onward (unformatted disks will automatically be formatted without interrupting the save operation). Multi-oppy data is saved in a special format, and saved programs and samples cannot be veried in the DISK mode. For this reason, single programs or samples cannot be loaded from oppy disks saved in this way, and addition programs or samples cannot be saved to the disks. Data saved to multiple oppy disks can be loaded by rst inserting the rst oppy disk and executing the load operation from the DISK-VOLUME display (page 172). Then all you need to do is change oppies as directed by the display. The disk names for multiple-saved oppy disks are the name of the rst disk plus a consecutive numbers. The disks must be changed in the order of their consecutive numbers when loading the data. Since the contents of oppy disks saved in this way cannot be veried in the disk mode, choose a disk name that clearly reects the disks contents.

OMS Settings (Macintosh)
The A5000/A4000 Editor software uses OMS (Open Music System) for MIDI input/output. To use the A5000/A4000 Editor software, OMS must be installed beforehand.
n For information about installing OMS, refer to the separate Installation Manual.

About OMS

Voice Editor uses the OMS (Open Music System) to transfer MIDI data to an external MIDI device. OMS is a system extension that goes in the Mac OS System folder, designed to manage the MIDI data stream (input & output) in a computer, to enable MIDI data transfer between MIDI software and hardware attached to the computer. OMS is a de facto standard of the MIDI environment under the Mac OS, and various music software manufacturers have released OMS-compatible sequencer and other software. OMS has the following merits: As OMS-compatible MIDI applications communicate with various MIDI devices via OMS, it is no longer necessary for you to set up multiple MIDI drivers for those applications. Thus, you can avoid conflicts between different drivers with the same purpose (MIDI control). Once a Studio Setup is read in OMS, any OMS-compatible application will be aware of it, even if you need to reconfigure the routing of the MIDI data stream or change the current Studio Setup. OMS-compatible applications will commonly recognize the new configuration. You can have different Studio Setups to choose one from,to switch to a different MIDI routing (patches between MIDI devices and software) fast and easily. Every time the OMS Setup application is opened, any MIDI device connected to the computer is automatically detected, and its icon appears with a current MIDI status (channel number, port number, patches, etc.). Once devices are configured with OMS Setup, however, you need not care too much about the status. OMS can drive various MIDI interfaces, including the standard type (16 channels) and the multi-port type (16 channels per port). If you use a multi-port type, you can control over 16 channels simultaneously via OMS.

n For more information about OMS features, see the READ ME file included with OMS.

Setting up OMS

Setup files for the A5000/A4000 have already been created for use with the A5000/A4000 Editor; please use the appropriate file for your device. The following example is for the A5000. 1. Interconnect the MIDI interface device connected to the Macintosh and the MIDI IN-A or MIDI IN-B terminal of the A5000. Select the terminal you use (MIDI IN-A or MIDI IN-B) in the UTILITY/MIDI function/SysEx page/Receive Port. (This setting is not needed for the A4000.) 2. Double-click the OMS Setup icon in the OMS Application folder. 3. Choose Open from the File menu and select A5000-Modem from within the OMS setup for YAMAHA folder.
n If you are using a computer with no modem port (such as the Performa series), look in the A5000Printer folder instead.
4. Choose Make Current from the File menu. The setup for your A5000 is now saved as the current studio setup. 5. Choose Quit from the File menu to close OMS Setup.
n A5000/A4000 Editor is not compatible with versions of OMS earlier than 2.0.

Page 26

OMS Port Setup
Having set up OMS, you now need to start up the A5000/A4000 Editor and set the OMS ports. 1. First, start up the A5000/A4000 Editor by double-clicking its icon.
n If AppleTalk is enabled, you will get an alert message. Click OFF. It will take some time for AppleTalk to be disabled.
2. Choose OMS Port Setup from the A5000/A4000 Editors MIDI menu, then select the port settings. In the following example, the tone generator is an A5000 and its setups are applied to OMS.

MIDI In:

Select A5000.
MIDI Out: Select A5000. 3. Click [OK] to close OMS Port Setup.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems such as no sound output or abnormal behavior, verify the connections before checking the following. If you are using the A5000/A4000 Editor for Windows, refer to the XGworks(lite) owners manual too.

<Macintosh>

The printer port is not recognized. The printer port will not be recognized if AppleTalk is ON. Note that with some Macintosh models, AppleTalk is automatically enabled when starting up. Verify that the Printer checkbox has been checked in the OMS MIDI Setup window.

<Windows>

A5000/A4000 Editor is not available in the Plug-in menu. Is the A5000/A4000 Editor installed in the same folder as XGworks(lite)? If not, reinstall A5000/ A4000 Editor. Bulk data is not received. Is the MIDI In set correctly in the System Setup of XGworks? Open the Editor Setup Dialog and check that the Device No. has been properly assigned (Page 7).
The modem port is not recognized. On some Macintosh models such as the Performa series, the modem port cannot be used and only the printer port is available. Verify that the Modem checkbox has been checked in the OMS MIDI Setup window.

No MIDI In/Out data In the OMS Port Setup, is MIDI In/Out set to unknown? If you change the OMS ports or setup, the OMS output ports have to be set accordingly in A5000/A4000 Editors OMS Port Setup window. Choose the appropriate receiving device. Is OMS using the same port as that connected to the cable? Open the OMS MIDI Setup window and verify that the checkbox for the relevant port has been checked. If the port and setup assignments are frequently altered, OMS may be unable to easily recognize the serial port. Reboot the Macintosh, set up OMS correctly, then start up the A5000/A4000 Editor.
MIDI Out port is not available in Editor Setup. The MIDI Out port in Editor Setup can be chosen from the MIDI Out ports in the System Setup of XGworks(lite). Check the MIDI Out settings in the System Setup of XGworks(lite).
<Windows / Macintosh>
Sound does not change when using knobs or sliders. Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 7) Parameter change data is not transmitted. Are the MIDI Out port and Device Number set correctly in the Editor Setup? (Page 7) No sound heard when clicking on-screen keyboard in Edit Window. Is the MIDI Ch. set correctly in the Editor Setup?
