CONNECTIONS

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.

Connecting the indoor FM antenna
*If you connect an outdoor FM antenna to this unit, do not connect the indoor FM antenna to this unit. Connecting the AM loop antenna
Orient so that the best reception is obtained.
* The AM loop antenna should be placed apart from the main unit. The antenna may be hung on a wall. * The AM loop antenna should be kept connected, even if an outdoor AM antenna is connected to this unit.
Optional outdoor FM antenna
Consult with your dealer or authorized service center about the best method of selecting and erecting an outdoor FM antenna. The choice of the feeder cable is also important. Flat ribbonshaped twin-lead cable performs well electrically, and is cheaper and somewhat easier to handle when routing it through windows and around rooms. Coaxial cable is more expensive, does a much better job of minimizing interference, is less prone to the effects of weather and close-by metal objects, and is nearly as good a signal conductor as feeder cable, particularly for foam-type coaxial cables. Coaxial cable is somewhat more difficult to install at the point where the cable enters the building. If coaxial cable is selected, make sure the antenna is designed to be used with that type of cable. * Use a 75-ohm/300-ohm antenna adapter (not included) or a 75-ohm antenna adapter (not included) for connections. 300-ohm feeder cable 75-ohm coaxial cable

300-ohm feeder cable

Notes for FM antenna installation q To minimize automobile ignition noise, locate the antenna as far from heavy traffic as possible. q Keep the feeder cable or coaxial cable as short as possible. Do not bundle or roll up excess cable. q The antenna should be at least two meters (6.6 feet) from reinforced concrete walls or metal structures.

Optional outdoor AM antenna
In steel buildings or at a great distance from the transmitter, it may be necessary to install an outside long wire antenna.
GND terminal For maximum safety and minimum interference, connect the GND terminal to a good earth ground. A good earth ground is a metal stake driven into moist earth.
CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER
Before making any connections, switch OFF the power to this unit and the amplifier or other component.
Be sure that the connections from the left (L) and right (R) OUTPUT terminals are connected to the corresponding (left and right) input terminals of the amplifier or other component.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS TX-580RDS only
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information, such as AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc. RDS function is carried out among the network stations. * This unit utilizes AF, PI, PS and PTY to receive RDS broadcast stations.

Displaying RDS data

This unit can be turned into the following two modes to display RDS data.
PS (Program Service station name) mode:
Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency.

BBC R3

PTY (Program Type name) mode:
Displays the program type of the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations as follows. News: Short accounts of facts, events and publicly expressed views, reportage and actuality. Varied: Used for mainly speech-based programs usually of light-entertainment nature, not covered by above categories. Examples are: quizzes, panel games, personality interviews, comedy and satire. Pop: Commercial music, which would generally be considered to be of current popular appeal, often featuring in current or recent record sales charts. Rock: Contemporary modern music, usually written and performed by young musicians.

VARIED

AFFAIRS
Current affairs: Topical program expanding or enlarging upon the news, generally in different presentation style or concept, including documentary debate, or analysis Information: Program whose purpose is to impart advice in the widest sense, including meteorological reports and forecasts, consumer affairs, medical help, etc. Sport: Program concerned with any aspect of sport.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help.
SYMPTOM Crackling sounds from time to time (especially in weak signal areas).
CAUSE Ignition noise from passing vehicles.
REMEDY The FM antenna should be put up as high as possible, away from the road, and a coaxial cable used. Attach a noise suppressor to the equipment causing the noise. Check the antenna connections. Try using a high quality directional FM antenna. Set the TUNING MODE button to the manual tuning mode. Use an antenna appropriate for the reception condition in your area. Tune again. Adjust antenna placement to eliminate multipath interference. Set the button properly. Use the manual tuning mode. Use a high quality directional FM antenna. Repeat the presetting procedure. Tighten the AM loop antenna connections and rotate it for best reception. Use the manual tuning mode.
Noise from thermostats or other electrical equipment. FM stereo reception is noisy. Because of the characteristics of FM stereo broadcasts, this is limited to cases where the transmitter is far away or the antenna input is poor. Insufficient antenna input. Not tuned correctly. There is distortion and clear reception cannot be obtained even with a good FM antenna. No stereo effect even with a stereo broadcast. A desired station cannot be tuned in with Automatic tuning. Previously preset stations can no longer be tuned in. Insufficient sensitivity. A desired station cannot be tuned in with Automatic tuning. There are continuous crackling and hissing noises. There are buzzing and whining noises (especially in the evening). These noises result from lightning, fluorescent lamps, motors, thermostats and other electrical equipment. Another station is interfering with the received station. A television set is being used nearby. AM There is multipath interference.

The STEREO indicator flickers and reception is noisy.
The TUNING MODE button is set to the manual tuning mode. The station is too weak. The tuner has been unplugged for a long period. Weak signal or loose antenna connections.
Use an outdoor antenna and a ground wire. This will help somewhat but it is difficult to eliminate all noises. This is impossible to remedy. Relocate this unit away from the TV.

Performance Play
After selecting a performance, youre ready to start playing the CS2x! As you do, youll want to try out the various control and other features available in Performance mode. Lets continue with our step-by-step tour.
s Using The MODULATION Wheel
By rolling the MODULATION wheel forward and back you can apply as much modulation to the tone as you want. The type of modulation which can be applied is determined by the three MW parameter settings in the panel edit matrix (page 46).

Octave Shift Function

The CS2xs Octave Shift function is an easy way to transpose the octave of the Performance up or down by a maximum 3 octaves. Heres how: 1. To transpose the octave up, hold [SHIFT] and press OCTAVE [+] once or more. 2. To transpose the octave down, hold [SHIFT] and press OCTAVE [-] once or more.

n You can also use the MODULATION wheel for controlling volume, pan and others (page 64), as well as for SCENE CONTROL, or morphing (page 26).
Indicates transposition of two octaves up
Scenes And SCENE CONTROL Function
Each Preset and User Performance has two Scene memories which are in essence snapshots of SOUND CONTROL knob positions (page 26). This gives you two additional sound textures available at the touch of a button! Whats more, you can activate the SCENE CONTROL function which lets you morph the sound of one Scene into the sound of the other.

2. Set the MIDI transmit channel for each Part track in XGworks.
The Track View Window lets you confirm the MIDI channels for each CS2x Part using the Ch. column. Track View Window

3. Decide the voice for each Part.
XGworks lets you use MIDI program change messages (page 75) to call up the CS2xs voices. There are many ways to do so. Take a look at the Track View Window. Based on the MIDI standard, each voice has its own bank number and program number. Setting the appropriate bank select and program change values will call up a specific CS2x voice. You can set these in XGworks, with intuitive ease. You can assign a voice to each Part (5 ~ 16).

4. Set the volume and panning for each Part.
You can control the CS2xs volume and panning for each Part using control change messages (page 72) to change the values of each, over a range of 0 ~ 127. From XGworks you can also change these manually using the Mixer Window. This sends the changes you make to volume fader and pan settings for each individual MIDI channel as control change messages to each corresponding CS2x Part.

Pan Control Volume Fader

In the parameter section of the Track View Window you can open the Voice List. Like the CS2x, the voices are arranged in categories. As shown, you can easily locate and select a voice by choosing the basic category in column 1, which lists the types of voice categories available column 2. Choosing a type will list the available individual voices in column 3, available for selection.

Creating The Setup Data

You can set up the basic part parameters on the CS2x. You can use the List Window to set up each tracks bank select and program change data (for voices) at the top of the song as well as control change data (for volume, panning, effects, etc.) throughout the song so that the sequence software will play everything back just as you want.
When you select a voice from the Voice List, that tracks MIDI transmit channel transmits the bank number/program number (bank select/program change) to the same MIDI receive channel as set by the CS2x.
n In order to ensure automatic setup of all voice and other parameter settings, you can insert the proper bank select/program change and other messages at the top of the song, before the music data starts playing. With XGworks this is all done with ease using the List Window. n For more information, see the owners manual for XGworks. n The voice changes when the CS2x receives the corresponding bank select/program change messages. When you use this method, you can select not only each Parts voice but a Performance. The XGworks List Window makes this especially convenient. Since there are extra material voices available for use in Performance mode, you can assign any of these to Parts 5 ~ 16. For more information, see the separate Data List book.

3. Select a parameter. Press the Parameter Value [UP/DOWN] button corresponding to the parameter you want to edit once to select the parameter and engage Performance Edit mode. The name of the parameter and current settings will display in the LCD.

Layer Edit 2

The functions in this menu include AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator) and LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) parameters, which are essential for creating each Layer voice. The parameters can be set for each individual Layer in a Performance.

Settings: n n

s AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator) This sets the parameters for the Amplitude Envelope Generator. The AEG lets you shape how the volume level of each Layer voice changes over time, from when a key is struck, then released, and how the sound decays. There are four parameters: ATK TIME (Attack Time), DCY TIME (Decay Time), SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level) and REL TIME (Release Time).
Although parameters marked with an asterisk (*) cannot be modified, you can assign them to the ASSIGN 2 knob. You can also select each parameter by inputting the corresponding number using the NUMERIC KEYPAD (0 ~ 9) and [ENTER]. 4. Press PARAM [UP/DOWN] to move the arrow cursor to the Sensitivity area in the LCD. 5. Press DATA [UP/DOWN] to set the knob sensitivity.
Parameters can be set between -32 and +32 for assignment numbers 1 through 4.
Each musical instrument has a unique envelope curve which plays an important role in determining its sound characteristics. The AEG simulates the change of the volume envelope curve over time.

Attack Time

Decay Time

Sustain Level

Release Time
As an example, say you have selected the Volume parameter and set the knob sensitivity to the positive value +32. The volume is 0 when the knob is turned counter-clockwise to the far left, and 127 when the knob is turned clockwise to the far right. If the knob sensitivity is set to the negative value -32 the volume is 127 when the knob is turned to the far left and 0 when the knob is turned to the far right. If the sensitivity value is low, the control range of the knob will be narrowed and limited.
Depending on the voice selected, changing certain parameters may not produce a noticeable effect.
6. Repeat the above steps to set a different Parameter Type and knob Sensitivity value to each of the four assignment numbers.
When the PARAM screen is displayed, you can select the Parameter Type or change the knob Sensitivity using the ASSIGN 1/DATA knob or the NUMERIC KEYPAD (0 ~ 9) and [ENTER].
ATK TIME (Attack Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its maximum volume level when a note is played. DCY TIME (Decay Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its Sustain Level from a maximum volume level while the key is held. SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level): Sets the Sustain Level. The volume will be maintained at this level for as long as the key is held.

Page 51

REL TIME (Release Time): Determines the time it takes for a sound to sustain after the key is released.
PMOD (Pitch Modulation): Adds a cyclical change to the pitch by applying LFO frequency modulations to create a vibrato effect. Higher values widen the range of the pitch change. FMOD (Filter Modulation): Adds a cyclical change to the Low Pass Filter cutoff frequency by applying LFO frequency modulations to create wah-wah type effects. Higher values widen the range of cutoff frequency change.

WAVE: Selects the LFO frequency signal used for modulation. You can select from the following types:

Saw (Sawtooth)

Tri (Triangle)
s LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) This sets the parameters for the Low Frequency Oscillator for each Layer voice. The LFO is an oscillator that generates low frequency signals (below hearing range) which are used to modulate certain aspects of the sound such as pitch, volume or filter level. There are six parameters: AMOD (Amplitude Modulation), PMOD (Pitch Modulation), FMOD (Filter Modulation), WAVE, SPEED and PHASE INIT (Phase Initialize).
Amplitude Modulation Pitch Modulation
S&HTr (Sample & Hold = random)
*S&HTr = Adds random changes to the pitch. (NOTE: Triangle waves will be applied for the AMOD and FMOD. Triangle wave is applied even if you select S&HTr for PMOD, when controlling the PMOD with the Modulation Wheel.)

ELEM (Element)

*Default settings of each element depending on the selected voice.
SPEED: Sets the speed of the LFO frequency modulation. Higher values increase the speed.

SLOW TIME

Filter Modulation

FAST TIME

Phase Init
AMOD (Amplitude Modulation): Adds a cyclical change to the volume level by applying LFO frequency modulations to create a tremolo effect. Higher values widen the range of the volume change.

Page 52

PHASE INIT (Phase Initialize): Determines if the phase of the LFO frequency modulation wave is reset or not each time a note is played. There are three types: Free, Retr (Retrigger) and Elem (Element).
Free: The wave starts at the phase position where a note is played. Phase when keyboard is played 0

Layer Edit 3

s FEG (Filter Envelope Generator) This sets the parameters for the Filter Envelope Generator. The FEG lets you shape how the tone, or timbre, of each Layer voice changes over time, from when a key is hit, then released, and how the sound decays. There are four parameters: ATK TIME (Attack Time), DCY TIME (Decay Time), SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level) and REL TIME (Release Time). These parameters affect Low Pass Filter (LPF) only.

Page 53

ATK TIME (Attack Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its maximum cutoff frequency level when a note is played. DCY TIME (Decay Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its Sustain Level from a maximum level while the key is held. SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level): Sets the Sustain Level. The cutoff frequency will be maintained at this level for as long as the key is held. REL TIME (Release Time): Determines the time it takes for the cutoff frequency to reach the level preset for each voice after the key has been released.

About The SOUND CONTROL Knobs
Changes made by the SOUND CONTROL knobs can be output as MIDI messages via the MIDI OUT terminal as assigned using the ASSIGN CTRL NO function. The default assignments for the SOUND CONTROL knobs as set at the factory are as follows: Knob 1 73: Attack Time Knob 2 80: General Purpose 5 Knob 3 72: Release Time Knob 4 17: General Purpose 2 Knob 5 81: General Purpose 6 Knob 6 74: Brightness Knob 7 71: Harmonic Content Knob 8 18: General Purpose 3 When the CS2x receives the data assigned to each SOUND CONTROL knob from an external MIDI device, the parameter printed on the panel for the knob will be affected. For example, when the message for Brightness (74) is received from an external device, the Attack Time will be affected when the Brightness (74) is assigned to Knob 1 and the Attack Time (73) is assigned to Knob 3. Both the data assigned to the Knob using the ASSIGN CTRL NO function and parameter data as printed on the panel for the Knob are sent to the internal tone generator when turning the Knob. For example, when you turn Knob 1, both Brightness (74) and Attack Time will be affected when Brightness (74) is assigned to Knob 1.
General Purpose: With the CS2x, General Purpose 1 is for FC, 2 is for Knob 4 (ASSIGN 1/DATA), 3 is for Knob 8 (ASSIGN 2), 4 is for no setting, 5 is for Knob 2 (DECAY), 6 is for Knob 5 (HPF CUTOFF) and 7 and 8 are for no setting.
Assigning The Controllers
1. Move the panel controller (i.e. a SOUND CONTROL knob or the MODULATION wheel) to which the Control Change Number is to be assigned. The parameters for the controller will appear in the LCD.

The diagram below shows the signal flow of the three effects when the CS2x is in Multi Play mode and the Variation effect is designated as a System effect. Each of the 16 Parts has a Dry send 1 level which controls the amount of original signal for each Part (page 60). Reverb send 2, Chorus send 3, and Variation send 4 levels control the amount of effect applied to each Part, determined by the Multi Edit EFFECT REV SEND, CHO SEND and VARI SEND parameters (between 0~127), respectively (page 60). Reverb return 5, Chorus return 6 and Variation return 7 levels can also be controlled to determine the amount of each effect applied (page 60). The Send Chorus to Reverb 8 level is sent from the Chorus effect to the Reverb effect (page 60). The Send Variation to Reverb 9 and Send Variation to Chorus ) levels are sent from the Variation effect to the Reverb and Chorus effects, respectively (page 60). These three parameters let you make series and parallel effect configurations which provide enormous sound enhancement flexibility.
