Descriere
Now that expanders and mini-keyboard synths are entering into common usage, the role of a master instrument is becoming increasingly important, and increasingly demanding. Many synths are simply not well suited to fulfilling this role, and in a sense they shouldn't be expected to.
A dedicated controller keyboard is one way of solving this problem, a new-generation electronic piano is another, while a third is to interpose a MIDI 'black box' between your main instrument and the rest.
The last option is where Yamaha's new MEP4 comes in. There are similarities of front-panel operation and styling (including a 16-character backlit LCD, thank goodness) between this and Yamaha's other new signal-processor, the SPX90 (reviewed in last month's E&MM).
But that's about as far as those similarities go, because apart from the obvious difference that one processes audio data while the other manipulates MIDI data, the MEP4 is conceptually a far harder nut to crack than a unit like the SPX. And the 30 factory preset effects that Yamaha have thoughtfully included on the MEP4 (in a 60-voice RAM) may cause confusion to many, simply because the unit's effects demand that your MIDI instrument setup is configured appropriately, and that all your instruments are capable of transmitting and receiving the controller codes that some of these presets make use of.
When you disentangle the MEP4 from its packaging, you discover an example book with program charts and system setups for all 30 presets, which is invaluable - though it doesn't suddenly make the MEP4 a breeze to use.
Fortunately, you don't have to plunge in at the deep end with the MEP4. At its most basic level, the machine acts as nothing more sophisticated than a simple five-way MIDI Thru box. This is achieved by pressing the Bypass button on the unit's front panel, thus sending the data on MIDI In straight to the four MIDI Outs on the back panel as well as to the Thru. So the MEP4 can start working for you as soon as you get it out of its box, which is no more than you should expect, after all.
