MIDI CC automation in DAW for vibrato

[nico123]

Dear PSR-1100-Users,

I would like to record some MIDI CC parameters from the PSR-1100 (in the Sound Creator) to Cubase 12 and re-record it later. It works very well with parameters like Attack, Harmonic, Brightness etc. but not with Vibrato Depth, Speed and Delay. As soon as I tweak one of them while in WRITE mode in Cubase, it'll create 4 automation lanes for the following MIDI parameters (in the order you see the red ones on the picture):

CC99 (NRPN MSB)
CC98 (NRPN LSB)
CC6 (DataEnt MSB)
CC38 (DataEnT LSB)

All changes I tweak on the PSR are written in the same lane: CC6 (DataEnt MSB). Is there any option to have Vibrato Depth, Speed and Delay in a separate lane like Brightness etc.? Do I have to change anything in PSR or in Cubase?

And, by the way, what does the MIDI Out driver called "Yamaha PSR-1100-2" do? I only use "Yamaha PSR-1100-1", for MIDI in and MIDI out.

Thank you very much for your help, I'll appreciate it! 

Greetings from Zürich, Switzerland

Welcome to the PSR Tutorial Forum, Nicolas!

If you haven't already, please download the PSR-1100 Data List from the link below. From page 32 you will find important information about the MIDI data format.

Regarding your question about the Vibrato settings, I can't help you in detail at the moment. Maybe the site "studio4all.de" (section "XG Programming") will help you. Please search the following page for the terms "vibrato" and "NPRN":

Concerning the USB-MIDI Driver: As described in the Owner's Manual (page 150), the PSR-1100 has TWO Receive Ports (Port 1 = Channels 1 - 16, Port 2 = Channels 17 - 32). When using one of the preset MIDI templates "All Parts" or "KBD & Style", the internal SONG parts are controlled via Receive Port 1 (DIN MIDI IN or USB-MIDI 1). This port is usually used as a MIDI output port in the DAW.

Receive Port 2 of the PSR-1100 is controlled via USB-MIDI 2. If desired, you can use this to control the internal Style parts, Keyboard Voice parts (Left, Right1/2) or Multi Pad parts directly from the DAW, for example.

By the way, if you are using an older USB-MIDI Driver, I recommend installing the current version 3.1.4 (64-bit or 32-bit version depending on the Windows version you are using):

In this context, note that the USB connection between the keyboard and computer must be established BEFORE installing the USB-MIDI Driver and the keyboard must be switched ON.


All the best from Germany,
Chris
