Using the MX49/MX61 Manuals
Your MX49/MX61 synthesizer comes with four different reference guides—the Owner’s Manual, the Reference Manual (this document), the
Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List. While the Owner’s Manual is packaged together with the synthesizer as a hardcopy booklet,
this Reference Manual, Synthesizer Parameter Manual, and the Data List are provided as PDF documents on the bundled CD-ROM.
Owners Manual (hardcopy booklet)
Describes how to set up your MX49/MX61 and how to perform basic operations. It also has some useful, informative appendices for
the instrument. This manual explains the following operations.
Reference Manual (this PDF document)
Describes the internal design of your MX49/MX61, how to use a connected computer, and all parameters that can be adjusted and set.
Synthesizer Parameter Manual (PDF document)
Explains the voice parameters, effect types, effect parameters, and MIDI messages that are used for synthesizers incorporating the
Yamaha AWM2 sound generators. Read the Owner’s Manual and Reference Manual first and then use this parameter manual, if
necessary, to learn more about parameters and terms that relate to Yamaha synthesizers.
Data List (PDF document)
Provides lists such as the Voice List, Performance List, Arpeggio Type List, Effect Type List, as well as reference materials such as
the MIDI Implementation Chart and Remote Control Function List.
Using the Reference Manual
Using the major function tabs along the upper part of each page from the
Reference section, you can jump to the page for parameter explanations of
the corresponding function. The list indicated at the right of each page in the
selected function is equivalent to the function tree. By clicking the desired
item from this list, you can jump to the page for the corresponding function’s
explanations.
You can click on any page number from the Table of Contents or within
descriptive text to jump to the corresponding page.
You can also click on desired items and topics you want to refer to in the
“Bookmarks” index to the left of the main window, and jump to the
corresponding page. (Click the “Bookmarks” tab to open the index if it is not
displayed.)
• If you want to find information on a specific topic, function or feature, select

Performance
A Performance is typically made up of multiple Voices, allowing you to sound them together in various ways. For
example, you can play a richly textured sound on the keyboard by combining two Voices (of Parts 1 and 2), or play
multiple Parts simultaneously by using an external sequencer or MIDI data. This section explains all the Performance
parameters, divided into six categories (Performance Play, Performance Select, Performance Part Select, Performance
Edit, Performance Job, and Performance Store).
Performance Play
This corresponds to the top or main display of the instrument. In this display, you can select/play Part 1 or Part 2, play
different Voices of Parts 1 and 2 together in a layer (Layer function), or play one Voice of Part 2 with your left hand while
you play a different Voice of Part 1 with your right (Split function).
1 Performance number
The selected Performance number is always displayed in this three-digit display. When editing Performance
parameters, a dot (.) is shown in the lower right of the screen. This provides a quick confirmation that the current
Performance has been modified but not yet stored. When you want to store the current status, execute the Performance
Store function (page 56).
2 Voic e o f Part 1
3 Voic e o f Part 2
Indicates/determines the Voice assigned to Parts 1 and 2 of the selected Performance. The Voice category, Voice
number, Voice name are displayed in order from left to right. User Voices are indicated by a “u” mark at the beginning of
the Voice name. When a category contains User Voices, the User Voices are listed after the Preset Voices of the
category. A cursor (
>
) is displayed between the Voice category and number of the selected Part.

2
(Edit) indicator
When the Voice assigned to Part 1 or Part 2 has been modified, this indicator appears to the right of the Voice name.
This gives a quick confirmation that the Voice has been modified but not yet stored. When you want to store the current
status, execute the Voice Store function (page 53).
5 Keyboard icon
When playing the keyboard, this icon appears to the right of the Part that is currently sounding. When the Layer function
is active, this icon appears to the right of both Parts, since both Parts will sound. When the Split function is active, the
icon appears at Part 1 when you play the right side of the keyboard (right of the Split Point; page 45), and appears at
Part 2 when you play the left side.
Operation
Call up Performance Play display by pressing [EXIT] repeatedly Select Part 1/2 with Cursor [u]/[d]
buttons Select Voice with [DATA] dial.
