Midi-problem with my PSR

[Andreas]

My PSR-S700 recently doesn´t send any Midi-messages no more. It receives Midi-messages and I have all Midi-settings right in the Midi-control but no Midi-send.
What can I do?

Hi,

Do you use a usb connection to the computer, or midi out/in to your other instruments ? (no pc)
did you, for example, try connect it directly to the nl3 ?
Try to find out if it is a setting in the psr or the pc.
what DAW software do you use ?
How is everything connected ?

In my studio I use a psr403 with usb to a pc and a midi interface to connect a few other midi synths to the pc.
I experienced similar problems before and it always was midi device setting and midiport assigning in the computer.
I avoid direct usb connections as much as possible and stick to good old fasion midi cables.

No, it´s just a midi-out connection to NL3 or SonicCell, and it worked before very well. Instantly it didn´t work no more and meanwhile it seems to be clear, that it is a technical problem with the midi-out of my PSR. I have one more yera guarantee, so I hope, it can be fixed and be repaired.

If the midi out is dead, yamaha should fix it for free under waranty.

The only things I can think of is swap out the midicables and give the psr the factory reset.
You probably done this already.

I hope your nl3 is the key version cos I suspect the repair of the psr will take a while :(

Thanks Eric for your care.
I made a reset for the Midisettings already, but it didn´t change anything. Today I will make a total factoryreset, probably this will help.
Otherwise the yamaha-repairman, who is just in my hometown not far away, will have to fix it, I hope within a weeks time. Meanwhile I will play the NL3 (keyversion!).

A factory reset somethimes helps.

Sometimes I have to reset my wavestation after I sent a bad or wrong sysex file.

I mean, bad/corrupt voice data can also cause funy things like midi not working or hanging notes etc.

I see slowly but surely your list of electronic instruments is growing :D
;) Its addictive ist it ;)
Later I'll post some pictures here of the stuff I use.

Kind regards

Eric

Gosh! Your attic looks like a music showroom! The most I've had at a time was 4. I guess you have nine hands to play them with? Or perhaps extremely long fingers?

Hi

If I ever get any problems I use one of these.

If there is any midi data coming out then the LED will flash.

[Andreas]

The Midi-Out was broken, but it could be repaired within the guaranty, so tomorrow I will get my PSR-S700 back.

Andreas,

I happy for you, must have been a small problem they could fix in the shop ?

:D Just imagine :D , No not at all, just the thing that's so great about "midi"
I can play any of them from any keyboard I please.
Also stack them, thus playing for example 10 of them together, get something like a synth-orchestra going.
Midi will also allow to sync everything in time (sequencers, arpegiaters, effects, etc)


Kind regards

No, they didn´t fix it in the shop, but the garage of the repairman is just nearby my dealers shop, so it worked out very fast. Today, everything is right in order and I can play as well as before!:cool:
