PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or
overheating.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects
on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll
anything over it.
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
When setting up the instrument, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is
easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off
the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the
power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all
components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume
controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel
or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified
Yamaha service personnel.
Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might
discolor the panel or keyboard.
Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not
use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or
uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Saving and backing up your data
DRAM data (see page 150) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument.
Save the data to a USB storage device.
Never attempt to turn off the power while data is being written to Flash ROM
(while an “Executing...” or “Please keep power on” message is shown). Turning
the power off in this state results in loss of all user data and may cause the
system to freeze (due to corruption of data in the Flash ROM). This means that
this synthesizer may not be able to start up properly, even when turning the
power on next time.
Backing up the USB storage device
•To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two USB storage devices.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long
time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Owner’s Manual
Main Features
Wide range of dynamic and authentic voices. Use the Category Search function to quickly call up the sounds you
want, based on their instrument type.
Page 42
Performance mode lets you use four different voices together—in layers or in a keyboard split. Page 44
Extensive effect processing, with Reverb (20 types), Chorus (49 types), three separate Insertion blocks each of which
has two blocks (total 116 types), Master Effect (8 types), and a digital equalizer (3-band Part EQ and 5-band Master
EQ).
Page 140
Comprehensive real-time control with four knobs and four sliders—letting you adjust filter, levels, effects, EG, and
more, while you play.
Page 51
Pattern mode functions let you craft different rhythmic sections and riffs as individual elements—which you can easily
and intuitively combine in real time to create full rhythm tracks.
Page 73
In addition to being able to create User voices in the Voice mode, you can create special Mixing voices for Songs and
Patterns. These voices can be edited and stored in the Song/Pattern mode, making it exceptionally easy and convenient
to create voices for use with Songs and Patterns.
Page 78
The versatile Arpeggio feature automatically plays a variety of sequenced phrases in response to the keys you play. This
function is especially powerful with drum voices—letting you easily call up various rhythm patterns at the touch of a key,
and providing instant inspiration for song creation and performance. When used with normal voices, the Arpeggio
phrase changes harmonically and melodically with the chords you play, giving you intuitive control over the patterns as
you compose or perform. Arpeggios can be triggered not only according to the keys you play, but also by how strongly
you play them—for even greater performance power.
Page 48
Once you’ve collected all the MIDI data and patterns you need for your song, use Pattern Chain to arrange the pieces in
real time. This hands-on approach makes it easier than ever to come up with great ideas and amazing songs.
Page 84
Song Scene is another powerful tool that lets you take “snapshots” of the sequencer track settings (such as pan,
volume, track mute and so on). Then, during playback or recording, simply switch among the Scenes for instant,
dynamic changes.
Page 89
Master mode—for using the MO as a master keyboard controller (with independent Zones), and for easily reconfiguring
the instrument between Voice/Performance play and Song/Pattern play in live applications.
Page 122
Exceptionally easy-to-understand interface with two-tiered operation buttons: [F1] – [F6] and [SF1] – [SF5] Page 33
Remote Control—for operating your favorite sequencing software from the panel controls. Mute tracks, control transport
(Play, Stop, Record, etc.), mix both MIDI and audio tracks (up to 16) with this instrument’s knobs and sliders, pan the
tracks, control EQ, and tweak effect sends—all without ever touching the mouse.
Page 113
The digital output jacks (DIGITAL) ensure completely noise-free, distortion-free sound output (44.1kHz, 24 bit). Page 103
The instrument features two USB connectors—USB TO HOST for connecting to computer, and USB TO DEVICE for
connecting to storage devices, such as a hard disk drive or flash disk.
Page 31
Compatibility with Yamaha’s powerful Voice Editor and Multi Part Editor software—featuring comprehensive, intuitive
editing of all parameters from your computer.

can only be used for transfer of MIDI data. No audio data
can be transferred via USB. The USB TO DEVICE
connector is used to connect this instrument to a USB
storage device (hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, MO drive,
flash disk, etc.) via the USB cable. This lets you save the
data created on this instrument to the external USB
storage device and load the data from the external USB
storage device to the instrument. Save/Load operations
can be performed in the File mode.
n For details about USB, see page 31.
5 MIDI IN/OUT/THRU connectors Page 104
MIDI IN is for receiving control or performance data from
another MIDI device, such as an external sequencer.
MIDI THRU is simply for redirecting any received MIDI
data (via MIDI IN) to connected devices, allowing
convenient chaining of additional MIDI instruments.
MIDI OUT is for transmitting all control, performance
and playback data from the MO to another MIDI device,
such as an external sequencer.

Power supply connections
Before you connect the power adapter, make sure that the MO [STANDBY/ON] switch is set to STANDBY
(Off).
1 Connect the plug of the power adapter PA-5D to the DC IN terminal on the rear panel of the MO.
2 Plug in the AC cable to an appropriate AC outlet.
n Follow this procedure in reverse order to disconnect the power adapter.
Be sure to use the included adapter. Using an AC adapter other than the PA-5D may cause damage to the MO, and may even
pose a serious electrical shock hazard.
Connect the adapter to an AC outlet of the specified voltage.
Even when the [STANDBY/ON] switch is in the STANDBY position, a small amount of electricity is still flowing to the unit. When
you do not plan to use the MO for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adapter from the AC outlet.
Connecting the speakers or pair of headphones
Since the MO has no built-in speakers, you will need to monitor the sound of the instrument by using
external equipment. Connect a set of headphones, powered speakers, or other playback equipment as
required.
