DGX 630 transpose issue

[DAIGS]

Hi, when I power-on my DGX 630 portable piano it start a tone above. I play C and the keyboard emit D and so on on all keys.
The arranger side work fine, so when in style mode and arranger on, I have the upper and the lower part shifted by a tone (2 semitones).

I did a reset "last key + power on" and nothing has changed. The transpose is to "0", so no transpose at all.

The only workaround I found is to press "file" button and then press "exit". The keyborard from now on work fine, until the next power off.

Someone can help me?

Thank you.

Is it possible that your keyboard is loading a "registration" (preset) at power-up, which has the transpose set to +2 semitones embedded within it? Thus, the keyboard defaults to +2 at startup.

I'm not familiar with that model, or which settings are retained within the registrations. But the above is my theory.

I feel your pain. I dont have this model but i have experience with the reface series and yamaha cp4.

One the reface series there is a startup procedure where you can set this - equivalent to control alt delete… hold down keys and turn on…. On the dx model there is an added complication in that you can then set a preset that has an offset to this tuning.

In my gear i also have a hammond sk1 and just to confuse : the hammond sends out untuned midi and tunes it on receipt of the note whereas the yamahas all send out retuned notes and dont tune on receipt. Remember that all these keyboards are a midi sender (the keys) and a receiver and siund module (the machine that makes noise) .

Also if you play drums you wan to have detuned notes all the time sonanc1 is always the kick for example.

My solution is to use a sysex command which i send from an iphone and this requires a bit of research or experimentation. Once sent it seems to stick and lives over a power down on the yamaha instruments.

The sysex commands i have worked out for yamaha are as follows

43 10 7F 1C 05 00 00 07 V

V is 64 (hex40) for no retuning
65 would be one senitone up.
69 would be 4 semi tones down

The 05 is the machine id (yamaha reface yc)
43 10 7f is the yamaha
Manufacturer
I think the 07 means its the retune.

There is no midi channel assignment required in sysex. Thats a good thing.
