Yamaha Full-Size Keyboard Questions & Answers
YamahaDGX-220 YPG-225
Do a factory reset. First try pressing the + and - buttons simultaneously.
Look in your user manual for a complete factory reset and do that.
My dgx-220 ypg-225 yamaha keyboard is dead.
If you know how to use a multimeter then I suggest you measure the voltage from your wall adapter plug that you plug into the keyboard. If that has approx. 9Vdc, then take a look at d151 on the power supply board. See if it is passing voltage. Voltage should pass only 1 way. If you have voltage on one side but not the other then the diode it is open and needs replaced. You can find the diode designator on the board next to the diode.
I have an old but functional yamaha PSR 31
hi there headphone jacks usually only come in 2 sizes, an obviously large one or a small one, (the headphone and the microphone jacks on your computer will be the small ones) if you have a favorite set of phones with a small jack and you need the large one you can buy an adapter that fits the large jack when you plug the small one in. good luck
Will a midi interface allow me to play downloaded music on a yamaha clainova 305
Yes, with some preparation. The music will have to be in a standard MIDI file format or a format that results in standard MIDI over USB output when "played" by computer software or an external sequencer. Within the software you will probably need to create a new "instrument" if there is not already a template for the CVP 305, otherwise the tracks and sub channels in the MIDI file will be patched to GM, probably not what you want to hear.

What is the best way to reprogram a Yamaha WX5 Ewi
Reprogramming a Yamaha WX5 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) typically involves adjusting settings, assigning functions to different keys, or customizing parameters to suit your preferences. Here's a general guide on how you might reprogram a Yamaha WX5:
- Access the Menu:
- Turn on your Yamaha WX5.
- Navigate through the menu options using the buttons or controls on the instrument. Refer to your WX5's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the menu.
- Select Parameter to Edit:
- Once in the menu, find the parameter you want to edit. This could include things like breath sensitivity, pitch bend range, or assigned MIDI channels.
- Adjust Parameters:
- Use the controls provided on the WX5 to adjust the parameters. This might involve turning knobs, pressing buttons, or using a combination of controls.
- Save Changes:
- After making your adjustments, make sure to save your changes. The WX5 typically has a save or store function within the menu. Confirm the changes and save them to the instrument's memory.
- Refer to the Manual:
- Consult the user manual for your specific Yamaha WX5 model. The manual will provide detailed information on navigating menus, adjusting parameters, and saving changes.
- Connect to a Computer:
- Some advanced customization may require connecting your WX5 to a computer using MIDI. You can use Yamaha's dedicated software, if available, to reprogram certain parameters.
- Use External Sound Modules:
- If you're using external sound modules or synthesizers, some customization may need to be done on those devices as well. Refer to the manuals for your MIDI equipment to ensure compatibility and proper configuration.
- Explore Advanced Settings:
- Depending on your proficiency and the complexity of your WX5 model, you might explore more advanced settings like custom MIDI mapping or adjusting sensitivity curves.
Remember to approach reprogramming with caution, especially if you are not familiar with all the settings. Make note of the default settings before making changes, so you can revert to them if needed.
Always refer to the user manual specific to your Yamaha WX5 model for accurate and detailed instructions on reprogramming and customization. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking assistance from Yamaha support or experienced professionals in electronic wind instruments.
