Message: [QUOTE="SeaGtGruff, post: 172215, member: 6744"] I had no idea what a Chromatone was, but I looked it up after I posted (duh, because it would have made too much sense to look it up before posting). I guess it all hinges on whether the Chromatone can send Bank Select and Program Change events. If it can (and I'd be surprised if it can't), then assuming you want the YPT to be the slave (sound generator) for the Chromatone, you need to connect the Chromatone's MIDI OUT to the YPT's MIDI IN, set the YPT to "Local Off," and then be sure to send the desired Bank Selects and Program Changes from the Chromatone to the YPT on whatever channels you're using. The Bank Selects and Program Changes for each of the YPT-300's voices are listed in the table that's on pages 65 through 70 of the Owner's Manual-- except you'll need to subtract 1 from the Program Change values as they're shown in the table. For instance, Voice 001 ("Grand Piano") is selected by sending a Bank Select MSB of 0, a Bank Select LSB of 112, and a Program Change of 0 (not 1), because the MIDI Program Change event uses values from 0 to 127, whereas the table in the Owner's Manual gives these values as 1 to 128. To give another example, to select Voice 094 ("Analogon") you'd send a Program Change of 81 (not 82). I don't know how the Chromatone works-- is there a PDF of its manual available somewhere online?
