CONGRATULATIONS! Your Yamaha DX100 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer incorporates state- of-the-art digital FM tone generation technology, providing extraordinarily vibrant, rich voices and outstanding playability. The DX100 has a programmable 24-voice INTERNAL memory (RAM) from which any voice can be selected at the touch of a button, two 96-voice PRESET (ROM) memories (a total of 192 fine preset voices!), a 96-voice BANK memory that permits storage of PRESET voices in any configuratio

PRECAUTIONS Avoid locations exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. Also avoid 1. Location locations subject to vibration, excessive dust, cold or moisture. Do not attempt to clean the exterior with chemical solvents, as this may damage the finish. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. 2. Cleaning Do not open the cabinet or attempt to make your own repairs or modifications to any part of the instrument. Such actions may not only result in electrical shock or 3.

CHAPTER I: SETTING UP The DX100 has a single mono audio output for its tone generator channel. This 1. Audio Outputs is labelled OUTPUT. It permits sending a mono signal to either a mono or stereo sound system, or a mixing console for recording or PA applications. The FOOT SW phone jack is for an optional footswitch. It accepts a Yamaha FC-4 2. Optional Foot or FC-5 footswitch or equivalent for portamento/sustain control: press for por- tamento or sustain; release to damp or turn portamento off.

NOTE: When setting up your system, be sure to turn the DX100 and any effects units used on BEFORE turning the main amplifier system on. This will prevent the initial power-on shock surge from possibly damaging your amplifier and speaker system. The DX100 features a Power-ON LED indicator, located immediately to the right 8.

They can also be directly accessed and played using the PRESET SEARCH function. The chart below shows the overall DX100 voice memory configuration. The VOICE EDIT BUFFER is a special memory into which a voice is called when selected. Whether you select a voice from the INTERNAL memory, the BANK memory, or the PRESET

In this mode, you can play any of the voices currently in the DX100’s 24-voice INTERNAL memory individually. The BANK PLAY mode enables you to access the 96 BANK memory locations. These initially contain the first group of 96 voices from the 192-voice PRESET 3. The BANK PLAY ROM. Using the SHIFT mode, however, you can also access the second group Mode of presets while in the BANK PLAY mode. Later, you can store any voices you like in any order in the these BANKS.

PRESET SEARCH This function allows you to directly access the voices in the PRESET memory, in the order they appear in the PRESET memory. PRESET SEARCH is accessed in the FUNCTION mode. To enter the FUNCTION mode press the FUNCTION button. Then press any of the PRESET SEARCH se- lectors to access the corresponding voices (these are the same as the BANK A–D selectors used in the BANK PLAY mode). In the NORMAL (NON-SHIFT) mode, the PRESET SEARCH selectors call PRESET voice groups 101–124, 201–224,

CHAPTER III: THE FUNCTION MODE tuning functions, MIDI functions, memory The FUNCTION mode permits access to four groups of functions: management functions, and performance functions. In this chapter we’ll describe each of these functions; what they do and how they are programmed. The FUNCTION mode is called by pressing the FUNCTION button. Individual 1. Accessing the parameters to be programmed are then called by pressing the appropriate voice button. Note that when the FUNCTION mode is active,

* Note that performance parameters 13 through 24 can be individually stored for each voice. They must therefore be stored in the appropriate INTERNAL RAM voice memory location after editing using the STORE function (see CHAPTER IV: VOICE PROGRAMMING, 4. Storing Voice Data). 13: POLY/MONO This function selects either the POLY or MONO note output mode. Voice pro- grammed with the POLY mode permit simultaneous playing of up to 8 notes. In the MONO mode the DX100 acts as monophonic keyboard. Once th

15: PORTAMENTO MODE Two different portamento modes are available: Full Time Portamento and Fingered Portamento. When the POLY/MONO function is set to POLY (button 13), only the Full Time Portamento mode is accessible. In the MONO mode, you have a choice between the Full Time and Fingered portamento modes. (1) “Full T. Porta” (MONO and POLY modes): A conventional portamento effect in which portamento occurs whenever a new note is played. (2) “Fingered Porta” (MONO mode): Portamento only occur

LFO modulation can be made to modulate the pitch of the voice, producing a range of vibrato type effects. This function is used to set the maximum depth of pitch modulation which can be applied using the modulation wheel. The actual effect produced depends on the settings of the LFO parameters, these will be discussed in CHAPTER IV: VOICE PROGRAMMING. Note, however, that the appropriate voice PITCH MODULATION SENSITIVITY parameter must be set to a value higher than 0 for pitch modulation to be e

23: BREATH RANGE, EG BIAS This function permits breath pressure applied to the BC-1 breath controller to directly control the amplitude or timbre of the voice, according to settings of the corre- sponding voice parameters which will be covered in CHAPTER IV. The LFO has no effect–only your breath pressure directly affects the amplitude or timbre of the voice. The data range is from 0 to 99. At 0, EG bias is OFF. A setting of 99 permits the greatest amplitude or timbre variation to be produced th

When this function is called, the LCD will read “Init. Voice?” Confirm your intention to initialize the voice edit buffer by pressing the +1 button. The DX100 will then ask you to reconfirm your intention to initialize the voice with “Are You Sure ?” Press the +1 button again to actually execute the initialize
