2 Set the MFC10 to the normal mode and turn the [FUNCTION] lamp of the MFC10 on.
3 Perform steps #1 through #5 of the Basic Procedure on page 145 to call up the MFC10 
display.
4 Set the parameters on this display as desired and press the [SEND MFC10 SETUP] 
LCD button to send the settings here to the MFC10. 
5 Disconnect the MIDI cable from the TYROS and the MFC10, and connect the MIDI OUT 
terminal of the MFC10 to the MIDI IN terminal of the TYROS according to the setting 
above by using the MIDI cable.
6 Operate the MFC10 to confirm whether you can properly control the TYROS from the 
MFC10 as set in step #4. 
7 Go back to the MIDI template selection display and save the settings above to the User 
drive if necessary.
■ Using a computer or another MIDI instrument instead of the MFC10 ...............
The following two settings on the [FUNCTION] → MIDI → EDIT → MFC10 display can be saved not 
to the MFC10 but to internal memory (flash ROM) in the TYROS as a MIDI template.
• Note number/TYROS function assignment pairs
• Control change number/TYROS parameter change assignment pairs
If you are not using an MFC10, you can have note numbers and control change messages from any other 
appropriate MIDI device (such as a computer, sequencer or master keyboard) control the TYROS. Make 
sure to set the appropriate channel in this display for control by the external device.
Determines the MIDI port which is to be used when 
communicating with the MFC10. Here, the USB 
port (USB1, USB2) can be selected even though 
the MFC10 does not have the USB connector. This 
is because the computer can be used instead of the 
MFC10. (The computer can transmit the data equiv-
alent to the data the MFC10 transmits to the 
TYROS. For details, see the bottom of this page.)
Select “FOOT SWITCH” or 
“FOOT CONTROLLER.”
Select a footswitch number (F00 - F29) or a foot 
controller number (1 - 5) to which the function is 
assigned. 
Please note that a note number is assigned to each 
footswitch and a control change number is 
assigned to each foot controller beforehand and 
you cannot change the settings. 
Determines the function 
assigned to the footswitch (actu-
ally the note number), or the 
function assigned to the foot con-
troller (actually the control 
change number). 
Determines the part to which the func-
tion assigned to the foot controller in 
the row is applied. 
Determines the MIDI channel which is to be used 
when communicating with the MFC10. 
Transmit the settings on this 
display to the MFC10.
• See page 152 for details about the func-
tions which can be assigned to the foot-
switch or foot controller. 
• Actually the pairs of the footswitch num-
ber and the note number, the pairs of 
the foot controller number and the con-
trol change number, and the MIDI chan-
nel for communication set above are 
transmitted to the MFC10.
