P200_01.QX 98.4.21 5:05 PM ページ 14 P-200 OVERVIEW The Yamaha P-200 is a versatile electronic piano with very high fidelity piano and other sounds and the genuine touch and response of a real piano. In its simplest form of use, all you really need to do is switch it on and start playing! However, this is just barely scratching the surface, since the P-200 has powerful performance and MIDI master keyboard capabilities.
P200_01.QX 98.4.22 5:44 PM ページ 15 ABOUT STORE TYPE You can choose the Store Type—Non Auto Store and Auto Store. When Non Auto Store is selected, the store operation is always required (except when modifying System related parameters; see page 17) if you want to save the current settings. When Auto Store is selected, all changes you make will automatically be stored without the need to perform a specific storing procedure. The default setting for a new (or initialized) P-200 is Non Auto Store.
P200_01.QX 98.4.21 5:05 PM ページ 16 ■ Performance Parameters In Performance Play mode, the P-200 has 24 sets of Performance parameters which let you configure settings for specific music situations (i.e., for a certain style of music, or a particular song, or for a practice session, or a live set, etc.). This affords you the convenience of being able to recall those settings instantly at the press of a button when in Performance Play mode.
P200_01.QX 98.4.21 5:05 PM ページ 17 ■ System Settings The P-200’s overall System settings encompass those “global” parameters which are related to the instrument as a whole, and which therefore affect both Voice Play and Performance Play modes. These include master tuning, MIDI transmit enable, MIDI filter transmit and receive parameter settings, MIDI program change table settings, and others.
P200_02.QX 98.4.21 5:07 PM ページ 18 GETTING STARTED This section explains how to set up the P-200 and the proper procedure for turning it on, playing the preprogrammed Demo songs, and basic voice selection. ■ Setting up the P-200 Although setting up the P-200 for basic play is easy and straightforward, be sure to take heed of the Precautions on page 6 before you begin, then carefully follow the simple steps as outlined below. P-200 SETUP PROCEDURE 1. Prepare a suitable location.
P200_02.QX 98.4.21 5:07 PM ページ 19 4. Connect external line-level components. If you wish to monitor the P-200’s output using an external line-level mixer or amplifier, connect the input of the external component to the P-200’s [OUTPUT] jacks on the rear panel. (Use both jacks for stereo output; use the [L/MONO] jack for mono output.
P200_02.QX 98.4.21 5:07 PM ページ 20 5. Connect MIDI devices. If you wish to connect the P-200 to external MIDI devices such as a rhythm programmer, tone generator or synthesizer, you will need special MIDI cables which plug into the [MIDI] jacks on the rear panel. First, however, you must determine a MIDI system configuration, based on your particular needs or desires. Some examples of MIDI system connections, along with information about MIDI, are provided on page 64.
P200_02.QX 98.4.21 5:07 PM ページ 21 ■ Playing the Demo Songs After setting up the P-200 and turning on the power — and before you begin exploring the instrument’s various features — you may want to listen to the various Demo songs, which have been specially programmed to demonstrate the exceptional sound and performance capabilities of the P-200. There are three main Demo songs, as well as twelve special Voice Demo songs that showcase each voice. HOW TO PLAY THE DEMO SONGS 1. Enter Demo Play mode.
P200_02.QX 98.4.21 5:07 PM ページ 22 ● Selecting and playing a Voice Demo song: Immediately after pressing [REVERB] and [MODULATION] (step 1, above), press the [VOICE SELECT] button corresponding to the desired voice.

INT.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 23 VOICE PLAY MODE Voice Play mode consists of Single, Dual and Split modes. Within Voice Play mode you can select and play any one of the 12 voices (Single mode), or play a blend of two voices simultaneously (Dual mode), or play one voice on the left side of the keyboard and another on the right side of the keyboard (Split mode). A brand new P-200 fresh out of the box will power on automatically in Voice Play Single mode, with the PIANO 1 voice selected.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 24 ■ Single Mode When the P-200 is in Single mode, you can select and play any one of the 12 voices over the full range of the keyboard. You can also apply and adjust reverb and modulation effects, and adjust the graphic equalizer settings. In Single mode, the LED above the currently selected [VOICE SELECT] button lights, and the name of the currently selected Single voice appears in the LCD screen. SELECTING A SINGLE VOICE Press a [VOICE SELECT] button.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 25 ■ Stereo/Mono Piano Pressing and holding the [PIANO 1] (or [PIANO 2]) button for a few moments alternately selects the stereo and mono settings. The initial default setting for the PIANO 1 (and PIANO 2) voice is stereo, and polyphony is 32 notes. NOTE CHANGING THE PIANO VOICE SETTING Press and hold [PIANO 1] (or [PIANO 2]) for a few moments. After a moment, the MONO screen briefly appears.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 26 As you play the keyboard, you will hear the Electric Bass voice. To change back to the UPRIGHT BASS voice, simply press and hold [BASS] for a few moments again. The UPRIGHT BASS screen briefly appears. Upright/Elec. $ Upright Bass ■ Reverb Effects The P-200’s internal DSP digital signal processor generates three types of realistic reverb effects, or simulated ambient environments, which you can apply to the voices.

MOD SPEED $ 3à This temporary message displays the current speed level for the modulation type that you just selected, between 0 and 7. You can easily change the speed level for the currently selected modulation type. CHANGING MODULATION SPEED 1. Hold the [MODULATION] button and move the [DATA ENTRY] slider (or press [–1/NO] or [+1/YES]).
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 29 ■ Panel Equalizer NOTE The P-200’s three-band equalizer works just like a graphic equalizer found on many home stereo amplifiers. The three sliders provide direct access to the P-200’s output in LOW, MIDDLE and HIGH frequency ranges, which gives you considerable control over the quality of the sound. ADJUSTING THE EQUALIZATION Move an [EQUALIZER] slider up or down.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 30 ■ Dual Mode When the P-200 is in Dual mode, you can play two voices at the same time—a main voice and a sub voice—over the full range of the keyboard. For example, you can blend electric piano and strings sounds together to add depth and texture to a melody line. You can adjust the volume balance of the Dual voices in relation to each other, as well as detune the voices in order to enrich the sound by bringing out the individual characteristics of each Dual voice.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 31 ADJUSTING THE BALANCE OF THE DUAL VOICES 1. Hold the [BALANCE] button and move the [DATA ENTRY] slider. As you move the [DATA ENTRY] slider, the DUAL BALANCE screen appears.

When you press the [SPLIT] button, the LED above it will light, and the keyboard will split into two areas, one playing the main voice you selected in Single or Dual mode, and the other playing the voice which was last selected as the Split mode sub voice. (UPRIGHT BASS is the default sub voice designated at the factory.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 34 SELECTING SPLIT VOICES Main Voice: Press a [VOICE SELECT] button. When you press the [SPLIT] button to enter Split mode, the voice you were playing in Single mode (or the main voice you were playing in Dual mode) will be assigned by default to the main keyboard area. 1. To change the main voice, simply press any [VOICE SELECT] button, the same as you would in Single mode.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 35 Moving the slider upwards increases the level of the main voice while decreasing the level of the sub voice. Conversely, moving the slider downwards increases the level of the sub voice while decreasing the level of the main voice. You can set the balance to any value between -16 and 15. Two indicators to the right of the numeric value display the relative balance of sub and main voices. 2. Release the [BALANCE] button.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 36 2. Release the [SPLIT] button. After a moment, the Split voice names will reappear in the screen. The split point will remain where you set it until you change it again, even if you exit and reenter Split mode. As you change the split point you can specify whether the main voice will play above or below the split point.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 37 ■ Transpose The P-200 has a multi-faceted transpose feature that lets you transpose the pitch at the touch of a button while you play. The P-200 has four independent transpose paths, which let you set transpose values for the internal main voice as well as the sub voice, and which also let you set transpose values for the MIDI main and sub voices which will affect external devices. Transpose is particularly useful in the Dual and Split modes.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 38 As you play in Split mode, the pitch of both voices will transpose according to main and sub voice settings when you press the [TRANSPOSE] button. You can play two-handed duets with different instruments by transposing the sub voice up or down two octaves to match the pitch range of the main voice.
P200_03.QX 98.4.21 10:35 PM ページ 39 C3 (middle C) is the normal pitch, or 0 value, so all you need to do is press any key above or below C3 to set the transpose amount. For example, if you want the transpose amount to be one octave below normal keyboard pitch, simply press C2. To return the transpose amount to normal pitch, simply press C3 again. You can also change the transpose amount setting one semitone at a time by holding the [TRANSPOSE] button and pressing the [–1/NO] and [+1/YES] buttons.

Parameters may consist of numeric values or specific settings which you can select. REVERB & active ● ACTIVE When the Active setting is selected, the P-200’s on-board reverb effects will function as normal. If the P-200 is in Auto Store status, the changes you make will be stored automatically in the current location.
P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 52 ● OTHERS (1 ~ 5) PERFORMANCE ENABLE You can have all other popup screens display between one and five seconds. (The default setting is 3.) The Performance Enable function lets you switch between System (“Sys”) settings and Performance (“Perf”) settings for MIDI channel assignments, local on/off status and controller assignments. This function lets you apply the System settings designated in Voice Play mode to all of the Performances.
P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 53 ● ENABLE ■ Program Change (PC) Table When set to Enable, the Panel Switch Lock function can be used; in other words, double clicking a [VOICE SELECT] button will lock the panel controls (according to the instructions on page 41). The Program Change Table function lets you assign program change numbers to incoming and outgoing program change messages.
P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 54 Whenever the P-200 receives a program change message, it will check the program change receive table to determine whether a voice or Performance has been assigned to the Received program change number. If so, the main voice will automatically switch to the voice indicated by the program change receive table. (If the P-200 is in Dual mode, this will cause it to shift to Single mode.
P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 55 ● TRANSMIT CHANNEL Main/Sub (Off, 1 ~ 16) This determines the MIDI channel over which MIDI data is sent. For the Split mode, the main and sub voices can be set to separate channels. For the Single and Dual modes, all MIDI data is sent over the specified Main channel (the Sub channel setting does not apply). When set to Off, no MIDI data is sent for the selected voice.
P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 56 ● CONTINUOUS SLIDER ASSIGN (see chart) INTERNAL CONTROL Off No function assigned Reverb Depth Controls the reverb depth level Mod. Speed Controls the modulation speed level Total Volume Controls the P-200’s overall volume Main Volume Controls the main voice volume Sub Volume Controls the sub voice volume For assigning a specific function to the CS.

P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 57 ■ Panel Switch (PS) ■ Organ Combination The Panel Switch function lets you assign a function to each of the two Panel Switches for realtime control of an external MIDI sequencer. The Organ Combination function lets you freely edit the Organ 1 voice. This feature gives you considerable control over the timbre and characteristics of the organ sound, so that the range of possibilities are practically limitless.
P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 58 ■ Keyboard Sensitivity The right-most parameter, Attack mode, determines which notes in a held cluster of notes are given an attack sound. With the ì (first) setting, only the first note played will have an attack; all other notes played while the first note is held will have no attack. With the í (Each) setting, all notes played will have an attack sound.
P200_05.QX 98.4.22 10:28 AM ページ 59 Velocity Curves ■ Internal Equalizer The P-200 has 10 different types of sensitivity settings for both internal voices and external MIDI instruments, organized in four categories: Normal, Soft-1~3, Hard-1~3, and Fixed-1~3. The Internal Equalizer function lets you adjust the volume of the low, middle and high EQ ranges for the currently selected internal voice.
P200_06.QX 98.4.22 10:57 AM ページ 60 STORE The P-200 has versatile and handy store and copy functions. In Edit mode you can designate whether the changes you make in Voice Play mode and Performance Play mode will be stored automatically as you make them (Auto Store), or will only be stored permanently after you perform a specific store operation (Non Auto Store). OVERWRITING IN PLAY MODE When Auto Store is designated all parameter changes are stored automatically as you make them.
P200_06.QX 98.4.22 10:57 AM ページ 61 2. To overwrite the current Performance: Press [+1/YES]. (Press [–1/NO] if you want to cancel the store operation and return to the previous mode.) This effectively stores the changes you have made in Edit mode (except for changes made in the overall System settings in the System, MIDI Filter and PC Table functions, which are stored automatically) in the current Performance location, and thus will be retained the next time you enter Performance Play mode. 3.
P200_07.QX 98.4.22 11:36 AM ページ 62 APPENDIX ■ Bulk Dump 4. The Bulk Dump feature lets you offload parameter settings by sending it to an external MIDI data storage device (such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer), as well as load it back into the P-200 by receiving it from an external storage device. This gives you the luxury of being able to build a library of P200 settings by storing them on floppy disks.
P200_07.QX 98.4.22 11:36 AM ページ 63 ■ Initialize VOICE SETTINGS: Similarly, you can initialize only the Voice parameter default settings. To do so, first turn the power off, then hold both the [MIDI] and [VOICE] buttons and turn the power back on. The Initialize feature lets you restore the initial factory default settings with a quick and simple operation. Before initializing the settings, make sure to first offload any data that you want to save using the Bulk Dump operation.
P200_07.QX 98.4.22 11:36 AM ページ 64 ■ Using MIDI System messages also come in a number of varieties. SYSTEM REALTIME messages are used to start, stop and synchronize the sequencing devices in a MIDI system. SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE messages allows for the transmission of data specific to individual devices. This data can be either individual parameter settings, which are transmitted as PARAMETER CHANGE messages, or large blocks of settings, which are usually referred to as BULK DUMPS.
P200_07.QX 98.4.22 11:36 AM ページ 65 MIDI Terminals P-200 MIDI Controllers MIDI devices transmit messages to each other via special MIDI cables, which are connected to special MIDI terminals on each device. There are three types of MIDI terminals: IN, OUT, and THRU. The P-200’s MIDI controllers include the two [PS] buttons, the [CS] slider, [PITCH] and [MODULATION] wheels and [FC] Footswitch.
P200_07.QX 98.4.22 11:36 AM ページ 66 A more sophisticated MIDI setup is required if you want to connect a sequencer, several tone generators and perhaps an effects device. The series, or “daisy chaining” method is shown in the following illustration.

P200_07.QX 98.4.22 11:36 AM ページ 67 ■ Error Messages Occasionally you may encounter certain error messages which appear in the LCD screen. Below is a list with descriptions of each. *** ERROR1 *** REPLACE BATTERY The internal backup battery charge is low and the battery should be replaced. (See page 6.) *** ERROR2 *** MIDI RX OVERFLOW Too much MIDI data is being received at once. Reception of data is interrupted and cannot be continued. Reduce the amount of data and attempt the operation again.
P200_07.QX 98.4.22 11:36 AM ページ 68 ■ Troubleshooting The P-200 is a rather sophisticated electronic instrument with many parameter settings which affect its operation status.
