Yamaha EMR-1 User Manual page 14

In the Keyboard Percussion mode, the EMR-1's various instruments can be played directly from your keyboard. You can
play your own rhythm pattern, or add rhythmic accents during rhythm playback.
Note: This function requires MIDI control from your keyboard. The MIDI OUT connector of your keyboard must there-
fore be connected to the MIDI IN connector of the EMR-!. The MIDI OMNI mode of the EMR-1 must be ON,
or the receive channel must be matched to the send channel of your keyboard. Refer to ''5. MIDI Control" on
page 14.
Each instrument has its own ''instrument Number,'' and is assigned to a specific key on your keyboard (i.e. a specific
MIDI note number). The available instruments, their instrument numbers and default note assignments are given in the
chart below.

To enter the Keyboard Percussion mode, press the COUNTRY rhythm selector while holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button.
To exit the Keyboard Percussion mode, press the COUNTRY rhythm selector while holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button
again. When the Keyboard Percussion mode is ON, you can play the various instruments by playing the appropriate notes
on your keyboard (refer to the chart above). When keyboard percussion is turned ON the LARGE LED will light, and
when keyboard percussion is turned OFF the SMALL LED will light.
e A handy note assignment sticker is provided as an accessory with the EMR-1 (a printed version is also provided on the
last page of this User's Guide). Place it anywhere you like—on the top panel of the EMR-1 is convenient—for easy
reference.
Hi To Change the Note Assignments
If you want to change the notes to which the EMR-1"s instruments are assigned, do the following:
1. Press the MARCH rhythm selector while holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button. Each time you press the MARCH
selector while holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button the instrument number shown on the EMR-1 display will increase
by 1, and by pressing the AFRO selector while holding the MIDI/FOOT SW button the instrument number will de-
crease by one. Press the MARCH and/or AFRO selector until the number of the instrument you wish to assign to a
new note appears on the display.
2. When the desired instrument number has been selected, press the key on your keyboard (while still holding the MIDI/
FOOT SW button) to which you wish to assign the selected instrument.
Hi Cancelling Instruments During Rhythm Playback
Specific instruments can be cancelled (they will not sound) during rhythm playback by holding down the START button
and pressing the key on your keyboard to which the desired instrument is assigned. Normal operation is resumed as soon
as a different rhythm is selected.
