1What are the benefits of connecting SongBook+ with the

keyboard?

1.1 SongBook+ controls the keyboard

When a song in SongBook+ is opened, SongBook+ can send MIDI commands to select the

corresponding registration in the connected keyboard. So you don’t have to manually

switch anything on keyboard during your performance to start playing the next song.

This method of remote control works with Tyros 2 and later keyboards, but not with the

Tyros 1 or any PSR keyboard.

Attention:

This method of remote control only works with Tyros 2 or newer, but not with Tyros 1 or

keyboards of PSR series.

1.2 Keyboard controls SongBook+

If you prefer to select your song from a registration on the keyboard, then the other

direction of remote control is available. SongBook+ can automatically open the matching

song and display the corresponding PDF file as soon as you select a registration on the

keyboard.

This type of remote control works with all keyboards.

2Compatible Yamaha keyboards

Attention:

For the new Yamaha Genos keyboard, you can find a separate manual named “How to

connect YAMAHA Genos keyboards with SongBook+”.

This manual shows how the settings are made on a Tyros 5. The configuration of other Tyros

models or PRS keyboards is similar. Note that older PSR models support only 250 files per

folder, as opposed to 500 on a Tyros.

With Tyros 2-5, PSR-S775 and PSR-S975 keyboards, both directions of remote control are

possible. With the Tyros 1 and older PSR keyboards, only the direction from keyboard to

SongBook+ is available.

3How do I connect SongBook+ with my keyboard?

SongBook+ has a MIDI monitor which can display received MIDI events. Using this, you can

check the communication with the keyboard. Just open this window and have the keyboard

send some MIDI signals to SongBook+, e.g. by pressing keys, by selecting a registration or

playing a midi (song) file. The received MIDI events will then be displayed.

If the connection is not established automatically (ie, no events are displayed in the

Monitor), you may need to press the “Restart MIDI” button and/or reconnect your cable to

the iPad.

3.1 Using the WiFi stick of Tyros 5

The UD-WL01 WiFi stick shipped with the Tyros 5 can be used to connect the iPad with the

Tyros 5. The Tyros 5 can then act as a Wireless MIDI Server and SongBook+ is the Wireless

MIDI Client. In the MIDI Settings of SongBook+ you activate the Wireless MIDI Client and add

the IP address of the Tyros 5 as host. Additionally, you must enable the option “Also send

commands to Wi-Fi”.

The easiest way to connect the WiFi stick is in “Access Point Mode“. In this mode the

keyboard creates its own WiFi network and you need to select in the WiFi settings of the

iPad this WiFi network of the keyboard. The IP address of the Tyros is then 192.168.0.1.

Alternatively, you can integrate the WiFi stick into an existing WiFi network, but the IP

address of the Tyros will then be different.

3.2 Using a Bluetooth LE MIDI Adapter

You can also find wireless MIDI Adapters that are recognized by the operating system of the

iPad as Bluetooth MIDI LE devices and these can be used by compatible apps.

Pairing of the adapter in the Bluetooth settings of the iPad is not needed. SongBook+ has a

“Bluetooth LE MIDI devices” function to establish the connection to the adapter.

(e.g. Yamaha MD-BT01, Yamaha UT-BT01, QuiccoSound mi.1, Zivix PUC+)

Note that the Bluetooth LE MIDI is supported only by iPad 3 or later.

3.3 Using USB-MIDI directly to the keyboard

Keyboards with a USB to Host port can be connected using a USB printer cable. As the iPad

doesn’t have a USB connection, you need an adapter (commonly called a camera connector)

to connect the iPad with the USB cable.

3.4 Using a USB MIDI adapter

Many USB to MIDI cables can be also used with the iPad. The cable is connected to the 5-pin

MIDI port (either midi A or midi B). Since the iPad doesn’t have a USB connection, you need

a camera connector to connect the USB end of the cable to the iPad.

To avoid the adapter draining the iPad’s battery, you can use an active USB Hub (with power

supply) between the iPad and USB MIDI adapter.

3.5 Using a MIDI adapter that can be connected directly to iPad

You can also find MIDI cables that are designed for use with Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone,

etc). For these cables, the camera connector is not needed.

Note that only a few of these adapters can charge the iPad while it’s being used. Consider

that feature when buying such an adapter.

(e.g. adapters like iConnectMIDI2+/4+, Alesis ioDock, Behringer iStudio IS202 or the iRig MIDI

only in the old version 1 can charge the iPad.)

4MIDI settings in SongBook+

The MIDI settings in SongBook+ are the same regardless of the control method used. In

SongBook+ you select the correct MIDI channel and the correct “Control mode”.

The default channel is MIDI channel 1. If you want to use another MIDI channel, you need to

specify this in the settings.

1. Open the settings in

SongBook+.

2. Select MIDI settings

3. Select channel 1.

4. Select the control mode

“YAMAHA Tyros

Registrations (with code)“.

5. When using the WiFi-

Stick with Tyros 5, activate

this setting.

5”SongBook+ controls keyboard“ Method

Using this feature, SongBook+ can activate a registration bank from the current folder.

If needed, it can also activate a specific registration from the 8 registrations contained in the

bank.

Attention:

This method of remote control only works with Tyros 2 or newer, but not with Tyros 1 or

keyboards of PSR series.

Note that a folder in the Tyros keyboard can not contain more than 500 files. This means a

maximum of 500 banks are available to SongBook+ (when the folder contains only

registration bank files).

5.1 Naming the registration banks

It’s important to note that, when using this control method, the registration bank can be

selected only by its numerical position in the folder, e.g. the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, …, 499th, 500th.

Because of this, we recommend you name the registration banks starting with a 3-digit

number so they always keep their numerical position in the folder.

For example:

-001 La Bamba

-002 Wahnsinn

-003 Amazing Grace

-...

-497 Reserve

-498 Reserve

-499 Beautiful Dream

-500 Achy Breaky Heart

If you want to reserve spots for later use, you will have to fill them with empty registration

banks in order that the numerical position of the following registrations is maintained.
