Power Supply

Use the PA-3B power adaptor (or another adaptor recommended by Yamaha) to supply the MFC10 with power from a convenient wall socket.
Connect the adaptors plug into the [DC IN] jack on the rear panel. Wrap the power cord around the cord stopper hook to prevent accidental unplugging during use.

Power Adaptor

Wall Socket
Plug the AC adaptor into any convenient AC wall socket.

POWE R ON/ OFF

Do not use an AC adaptor other than the PA-3B, or other adoptors recommended by Yamaha. The use of any incompatible adaptor may result in damage, overheating, or fire to the unit. Be sure to disconnected the power adaptor from the outlet when the MFC10 is not in use.

MFC10 Functions

When a foot switch is pressed, MIDI data (program changes/function data) stored in the MFC10s internal memory is transmitted to external MIDI devices.

Program Change Data

Program change data transmitted from the MFC10 can select voices, etc., on other MIDI devices. Bank select data can be transmitted along with program change data as well. The MFC10 can transmit the following function data to control other MIDI devices.

About the TOGGLE ON-OFF/NUMBER OF PGM settings.
TOGGLE ON-OFF/NUMBER OF PGM contains the settings for on, off, Pn1, Pn2, Pn3, Pn4. According to the setting, you can use the foot switch to operate as a toggle on-off, or simultaneously transmit several MIDI data.

TOGGLE ON-OFF settings

TOGGLE ON-OFF settings can be used in Function Memory that are saved with control change data. [on]. Press the foot switch and the MAX value (switch on data) is continuously transmitted. Press the foot switch once again and the MIN value (switch off data) is transmitted. The foot switchs lamp will flash from the time the MAX value is transmitted, until the MIN value is transmitted. Even if another foot switch is pressed, the lamp will remain flashing. (The flashing lamp indicates continuous transmission of the MAX value.) [oFF]. Hold the foot switch and the MAX value (switch on data) is transmitted. Release the foot switch and the MIN value (switch off data) is transmitted.
MIDI Data Simultaneous Transmission (Pn1-Pn4)
Pn1-Pn4 settings can be used in Function Memory that are saved with Note ON/OFF, control change, and program change data. Within Function Memories F00-F49, up to 4 of the same type of MIDI data (one of the following Note On/Off, Control Change, Program Change) can be simultaneously transmitted.

Pn4 Pn3 Pn2

For example, you can transmit several note on/off data over the same MIDI channel to play chords, or transmit control change data over several MIDI channels to simultaneously control external effectors. Also, you can simultaneously change the voices of several devices by transmitting Program Change Data over several MIDI channels.

When Pn1-Pn4 is set, the toggle setting will automatically be set to ON. If data is stored in Memory Numbers F00-F49, Pn1 will automatically be selected when the Memory Number is edited again.

MIX Mode

In the MIX mode, both Program Change data and Function data can be accessed at the same time without having to change between modes with the [FUNCTION] switch. This mode provides quick transmission of Program Change data and Function data. In this mode, up to 25 different Program memories (independent of the NORMAL mode) can be saved and accessed from the lower level of foot switches [1]-[5], and up to 5 different Function memories can be saved and accessed from the upper level of foot switches [6]-[0]. Each of those memories can be selected and transmitted with the [1]-[0] and [x10] foot switches.
Set the [FUNCTION NORMAL-MIX] switch on the rear panel to the [MIX] position.
Press [FUNCTION] and turn off the FUNCTION lamp.
If [FUNCTION] is pressed while in the MIX mode (the FUNCTION lamp lights), the MIX modes FUNCTION memory (see page 21) will be enabled. All foot switches can access the MFC10s 100 FUNCTION memories. The 10's digit setting is valid when the MFC10 is returned to the MIX mode. Press [FUNCTION] once again, the FUNCTION lamp turns off, and the MFC10 is returned to MIX mode.

s About Foot Switch Use

Foot switches can also be connected to the [FOOT CONTROLLER/SWITCH 2-5] jacks located on the rear panel of the MFC10. If a foot switch is connected, the set BANK MSB/MAX value will be transmitted via MIDI when the foot switch is pressed. When the foot switch is released, the set BANK LSB/MIN value will be transmitted via MIDI.

Both the MIDI keyboards receive channel number and the MFC10s Program Change Memory Status (MIDI channel number) should be set to the same MIDI channel number.

Effector

MIDI effectors (Yamaha SPX990, etc.) connected to the MFC10 can receive MIDI program changes.

Yamaha SPX990, etc.

According to the Program Change data transmitted from the MFC10, set Program Change numbers with the corresponding effect program (type) to select that effect. Of course you can select effects with the effector itself, but using the MFC10 leaves your hands free to play yet, provides the ability to select effects quickly and easily.
Both the MIDI effectors receive channel number and the MFC10s Program Change Memory Status (MIDI channel number) should be set to the same MIDI channel number.
MIDI Sequencer Programmer or Rhythm System
Connect the MFC10 to a sequencer (Yamaha QY300, QY22, QY8, etc.) or rhythm programmer (Yamaha RY20, RY8, etc.).
The sequencer/rhythm programmers start/continue/stop, etc., can be controlled according to Function data transmitted from the MFC10.

MUSIC SEQUENCER

Sequencer/rhythm programmer

Yamaha QY300, RY20, etc.

Both the MIDI sequencer or rhythm programmers receive channel number and the MFC10s Memory Status (MIDI channel number) should be set to the same MIDI channel number. Also, the MFC10 does not transmit a timing clock so the sequencer or rhythm programmers clock should be set to [Internal].
Connect a keyboard and the MFC10, the MFC10 and a sequencer or rhythm programmer.
As the keyboards MIDI signal runs through the MFC10, the MFC10 can add function data (section control data, etc.). The MFC10s data is then merged with keyboard data and transmitted to the sequencer or rhythm programmer.

MIDI IN MIDI OUT

MIDI OUT MIDI IN
Sequencer/ Rhythm Programmer
Both the MIDI keyboards transmit channel number and the MFC10s Program Change Memory Status (MIDI channel number) and the sequencer/rhythm programmers receive channel number should be set to the same MIDI channel number. Also, the MFC10 does not transmit a timing clock (MIDI signals received by the MFC10 will be sent directly to the MIDI OUT terminal) so the keyboards clock should be set to [Internal] and the sequencer/rhythm programmers clock should be set to [External].

Error Message List

Should an error occur while using the MFC10, one of the following messages will appear in the LED display. Press [WRITE/EXIT] to return the MFC10 to its normal play mode. (In the case of error message 5, the internal memory may have some MISS, pressing [WRITE/EXIT] will automatically initialize the internal memory.)
MIDI Receive Error. An error has occurred during reception of data. >Check the transmitting device and try again. MIDI Bulk Data Error. An error has been detected in the MIDI data received. >Check the transmitting device and try again. MIDI Line Error. After FE has been received, Note On data has been received but, no MIDI data was received within a 350 msec interval. >Check the cable and the condition of the transmitting device. MIDI IN Buffer Error. A MIDI buffer overflow has occurred. >Reduce the volume of data being transmitted or transmit the data in smaller blocks. Try pressing [WRITE/EXIT] button. If "Er5" appear again, Memory Data Error. An error has occurred in the internal memory. The device may need repair. >Take the device to your nearest Yamaha dealer for further evaluation.
