Yamaha Reface YC

Does anyone have an English version of the manual? I only have foreign versions and am struggling a bit. The online one does not seem to cover enough of the functions. .. Fred

Thanks Brian. I have seen this manual but there is very little information on there for the YC. When I bought the Lowrey Rialto I realised there were no drawbars and have been wondering about buying something like the Ferrofish but then I saw the Reface s/hand on Gumtree for £180. I have not yet tried to MIDI it to the Lowrey but as my knowledge of MIDI is less than nil I am slightly worried. I will re-watch some of the videos on YouTube first. .. Cheers .. Fred

Well …………………. I have connected the Reface to the Lowrey via Midi out on the Reface to Midi in on the Lowrey. Using the same cable my Bk-7m has been working on successfully and nothing happens. I should be able to play the Reface voices using keys on the Lowrey. Nothing works. Signed .. Baffled of Nottingham.

Dear Baffled of Nottingham,

I am not even going to offer a suggestion as I myself have spent many hours trying to sort out midi connections, and only to find out the next time I switched things on it would not work ?????? like it did when I switched things off ???

As you have said Youtube is your best bet

Good luck, Brian007

Thanks again Brian. I watched most of these videos before buying the Reface. None of them really help. .. Fred

Hello Fred.

Have you set the MIDI channel on the Lowrey correctly? The Reface YC defaults to Channel 1 for MIDI in.

David. I have no information about the MIDI channel on the Lowrey. The manual does not even mention MIDI. I am therefore presumably using the same channel the Roland Bk-7 operated on perfectly. .. Fred

Thank you Fred. I have found and tried all 15 MIDI channels on both keyboards on the Rialto but none of them have provided an answer. I think the next thing is to use an alternative cable and if that does not work then a telephone call to Allensmusic. Thanks again for taking an interest. .. Fred
