OWNER’S MANUAL

SUPPLEMENTAL MARKING INFORMATION

Yamaha Digital Musical Instrument Products will have either a label similar to the graphic shown below or a molded/stamped

facsimile of the graphic on its enclosure. The explanation of these graphics appears on this page. Please observe all cautions

indicated.

The Exclamation point within an equila-

teral triangle is intended to alert the user

to the presence of important operating

and maintenance (servicing) instructions

in the literature accompanying the pro-

duct.

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT REMOVE

COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE

PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO

QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL

The lightning flash with arrowhead sym-

bol, within an equilateral triangle, is in-

tended to alert the user to the presence

of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”

within the product’s enclosure that may

be of sufficient magnitude to constitute

a risk of electric shock to persons.

SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (RFI): Your Yamaha

Digital Musical Instrument Product has been type tested and

found to comply with all applicable regulations. However,

if it is installed in the immediate proximity of other electronic

devices, some form of interference may occur. For additional

RFI information see FCC information section located in this

manual.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This product has been tested and

approved by independent safety testing laboratories in order

that you may be sure that when it is properly installed and

used in its normal and customary manner, all foreseeable

risks have been eliminated. DO NOT modify this unit or

commission others to do so unless specifically authorized

by Yamaha. Product performance and/or safety standards

may be diminished. Claims filed under the expressed war-

ranty may be denied if the unit is/has been modified. Implied

warranties may also be affected.

SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE: The information

contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the time

of printing. Yamaha reserves the right to change or modify

specifications at any time without notice or obligation to

update existing units.

NOTICE: Service charges incurred due to a lack of know-

ledge relating to how a function or effect works (when the

unit is operating as designed), are not covered by the

before requesting service.

STATIC ELECTRICITY CAUTION: Some Yamaha Digital

Musical Instrument products have modules that plug into the

unit to perform various functions. The contents of a plug-in

module can be altered/damaged by static electricity dis-

charges. Static electricity build-ups are more likely to occur

during cold winter months (or in areas with very dry cli-

mates) when the natural humidity is low. To avoid possible

damage to the plug-in module, touch any metal object (a

metal desk lamp, a door knob, etc.) before handling the

module. If static electricity is a problem in your area, you

may want to have your carpet treated with a substance that

reduces static electricity build-up. See your local carpet

retailer for professional advice that relates to your specific

situation.

Welcome

Welcome to the DX7s, the newest member of the growing family of FM digital

synthesizers from Yamaha. Using the industry-standard DX7 as its starting point, the

DX7s offers a number of important new features, such as improved sound quality,

additional FM features, new performance options, and improved controls.

Since there is so much material available on the DX7 family of synthesizers (and on the

theory of FM digital synthesis), this manual will not be an FM tutorial. Instead, it has

been designed to be a “users manual” in the truest sense — its goal is to help you make

music with your new DX7s as quickly as possible.

If you are already familiar with the operation of the original DX7, this manual will help

you make the transition to the DX7s in short order. On the other hand, if this is your first

FM digital instrument, this manual will guide you into the operation of your new

synthesizer with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and explanations.

After you are comfortable with the operation of your new synthesizer, you may want to

explore the fascinating world of FM digital voicing. If so, consult the extensive list of

reference works on FM synthesis listed in the bibliography at the back of this manual.

Tips

The DX7s has been designed for years of trouhle-free use. In order to ensure that it

remains a healthy member of your family

of

musical instruments, please keep the

following tips in mind:

Installation:

When setting up the DX7s in your home or studio, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or

other sources of heat. Environments with excessive dust, cold, dampness, or vibration can

also damage your instrument. Even though the DX7s is electronic, you should treat it with

the same kind of care you would lavish on any other musical instrument.

Also, since the DX7s is electronic, you should make sure not to set it too close to

equipment (such as a television set) that generates electromagnetic fields. Such proximity

could cause both malfunctions in the synthesizer’s digital circuitry and interference noise

in the other unit.

Handling:

The DX7s is sturdy, but it can do without rough handling. Don’t subject it to sudden jolts

(such as dropping it), as this can damage the internal circuitry. If you plan to travel with it,

be sure to use a road case. Also, make sure not to apply excessive force to any of the keys,

buttons, or other controls.

Cleaning:

To clean or dust your DX7s, use nothing more than a clean, slightly damp cloth. Using

chemical solvents will damage the finish, and using too much water may do considerable

damage to the internal circuitry.

AC Power & Other Equipment:

When you are using the DX7s with an amplifier or mixer that has unbalanced outputs,

connect both units to the same AC outlet to avoid hum.

If you use a number of electronic instruments in your setup, you may want to consult an

electrician, who can make sure that your system does not overtax the available power.

AC Power & Down Time:

Whenever the DX7s will not be used for an extended period of time, it is best to protect it

from potential disaster. Electrical storms and other natural or man-made disasters can give

rise to power surges, which may damage the digital circuitry of your DX7s — even if the

power is turned off. Either unplug your instrument when not in use, or invest in power

strips with surge protectors to safeguard all of your electronic equipment.

Service & Your Warranty:

The DX7s contains no user-serviceable parts. Opening it up or tampering with it in any

way will void the warranty, and may also lead you to experience some nasty electrical

shocks. If you have a problem with your instrument, please take it to an authorized

Yamaha service center.

Modifications & Your Warranty:

Unless you are assured to the contrary in writing, you should assume that any

modifications made to your DX7s will void the original product warranty. Therefore, you

should make sure that you receive a warranty (or some other kind of guarantee) from the

person or company that is responsible for the modification.

Getting

Started

Connecting the DX7s

to a single input

amplifier.

Using stereo headphones

with the DX7s.

You can begin to enjoy your DX7s immediately, without poring through a lot of

complicated electronic theory. All you have to do is take the instrument out of the box and

proceed as follows:

Making Audio Connections

There are three different ways to connect the DX7s to sound reinforcement equipment.

The one you choose will depend on your situation:

1. If

you

have a monophonic (single input) amplifier such as a guitar amp, connect the

DX's output to the amp’s input (using a standard ¼” cable).

2. If you are using a multi-channel mixer, connect the DX’s back-panel audio output to

one of your mixer’s inputs (using a ¼” cable).

3. If you are using a set of standard stereo headphones, plug them into the DX’s Phones

output.

Turning on the DX7s

After you have made the audio connection of your choice, turn the DX7s on by pressing

the power switch located on the right side of the back panel. This is the first display you

will see on the main panel:

After a few seconds, this display will be replaced by the last Play Mode display selected

Setting the Volume Slider

Since the volumes of the various voices differ, start with a setting in the middle of the

slider’s range; adjust later to suit your taste, depending on the voice or voices being

played.

Setting the

ROM Cartridge

Banks

The ROM Cartridge supplied with your DX7s actually contains several sets of data —

called “banks.” These banks can be selected from the front panel. In order to hear all of

the Voice and Performance data, you will need to set the Voice/Performance bank to 2.

Also, certain voices in the DX7s are created using the new fractional scaling feature.

These scalings are stored in bank 3 of the ROM cartridge, so the Fractional Scaling Bank

will need to be set to bank 3. Look at the diagram on the next page and make the

necessary changes before you begin playing.

Inserting the ROM Cartridge

Before you begin to play your DX7s, insert the supplied ROM cartridge into the cartridge

slot:

Library

The Performance Mode is a completely new feature for the DX7s. It allows a number of

useful performance-oriented features to be stored and recalled instantly. These features

will be explained in detail in Sections 2 and

3

of this manual. For now, though, just follow

the steps below, and explore the richness of the Performance Mode by playing through all

of the new sounds available in the Internal and ROM Cartridge memories.
