CONGRATULATIONS

Thank

you

for

choosing

the

Yamaha

DX9

Digital

Programmable

Algorithm

Synthesizer.

The

DX9

employs

unique

and

sophisticated

FM

digital

tone

generation

technology

combined

with

microcomputer

control

to

permit

creation

of

voices

that

are

more

“live

than

voices

available

with

any

other

system

available.

2»,

We

urge

you

to

read

this

owner's

manual

thoroughly

to

ensure

proper

operation

and

maximum

performance

of

the

instrument.

Features

€

The

ОХ9

has

a

20-voice

internal

memory,

while

external

cassette

tape

can

be

used

to

store

and

load

other

voices.

The

DX9

is

provided

with

а

voice

tape

containing

120

pre-programmed

voices.

Extensive

microcomputer

programming

control

makes

it

possible

to

edit

existing

voices

to

change

their

character,

or

produce

entirely

new

voices.

New

voices

can

also

be

created

“from

scratch.”

Edited

or

new

voices

can

be

stored

either

in

the

instrument's

internal

memory,

or

on

an

external

cassette

tape,

so

sounds

you

create

can

be

saved

for

future

use.

PRECAUTIONS

LOCATION

Avoid

placing

your

synthesizer

in

direct

sunlight

or

close

to

a

source

of

heat.

It

is

also

important

to

avoid

locations

in

which

the

instrument

is

likely

to

be

subjected

to

vibration,

excessive

dust,

cold

or

moisture.

HANDLING

Avoid

applying

excessive

force

to

the

instruments's

knobs

and

switches.

POWER

CORD

Always

grip

the

power

plug

directly

when

unplugaing.

Removing

the

power

plug

from

the

wall

socket

by

pulling

on

the

power

cord

can

result

in

damage

to

or

shorting

of

the

power

cord.

Be

sure

to

unplug

your

synthesizer

if

you

will

not

be

using

it

for

an

extended

period

of

time.

RELOCATION

When

moving

the

synthesizer

once

it

has

been

set

up,

be

sure

to

disconnect

al!

cords

that

connect

to

other

equipment.

This

will

help

prevent

accidental

damage

to

or

shorting

of

interconnection

cables.

CONNECTION

Carefully

follow

the

“CONNECTION”

instructions

given

in

this

manual

when

setting

up

your

synthesizer.

Connection

errors

can

lead

to

serious

damage

to

the

instru-

ment,

amplifier,

and

speakers.

CLEANING

Do

not

use

solvents

such

as

benzine

or

thinner

to

clean

your

synthesizer

as

these

may

cause

discoloration

ог

staining

of

the

instrument's

exterior.

Use

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

SAVE

THIS

MANUAL

After

studying

this

manual

thoroughly,

it

should

be

stored

in

a

safe

place

for

future

reference.

LIGHTNING

In

the

event

of

an

electrical

storm,

the

instrument's

power

cord

should

be

unplugged

to

eliminate

the

possibility

of

serious

damage.

OTHER

APPLIANCES

Use

your

synthesizer

where

its

digital

circuitry

cannot

be

influenced

by

electromagnetic

radiation

from

appliances

such

as

televisions,

radios,

etc.

DX9

OUTLINE

As

stated

in

the

feature

summary

on

page

1,

the

DX9

can

be

used

to

play

pre-programmed

voices,

pre-programmed

voices

can

be

edited

to

alter

their

character,

or

completely

new

voices

can

be

created

from

scratch.

Newly

created

voices

can

be

memorized

for

future

use.

To

accomplish

all

this,

the

D

X9

has

four

main

operating

modes:

•

PLAY-MEMORY

SELECT

Mode

This

is

the

normal

performance

mode,

and

the

mode

in

which

pre-programmed

voices

can

be

selected.

€

FUNCTION

Mode

This

mode

permits

setting

parameters

pertaining

to

the

effect

of

the

controllers

(thumbwheel,

breath

controller)

and

is

also

used

for

loading

and

saving

data.

€

EDIT Mode

This

mode

permits

setting

parameters

that

determine

the

character

of

the

voices,

and

is

used

for

editing

existing

voices

or

creating

entirely

new

voices.

e

STORE

Mode

Edited

or

newly

created

voices

can

be

programmed

into

the

memory

in

this

mode.

All

functions

of

the

DX9

are

performed

in

one

of

the

above

modes.

Proper

understanding

of

the

functions

of

each

mode

is

the

key

to

successful

FM

Tone

Generation

In

the

DX9

In

the

DX9,

the

carrier

signal

determines

the

pitch

of

the

note

produced

and

modulator

determines

the

shape

of

the

waveform

produced

and

therefore

its

tirnbre.

This

explana-

tion

may

make

it

look

like

the

carrier

and

modulator

are

two

entirely

separate

things.

іп

fact,

they

are

one

and

the

same.

A

special

oscillator

unit

called

an

“operator”

can

be

used

as

either

a

carrier

or

modulator

in

the

DX9.

When

When
