    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.
  • Page 3 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.

    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...
  • Page 5 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.

    Editing is the process of changing various settings of a Voice or Performance memory. In the DX7s, this is accomplished in Edit Mode. Usually, you will use Edit Mode to create a new Voice or Performance setup, but you can also use it to find out the parameter values for the factory preset Voices and Performance setups.

  • Page 28: Entering Edit Mode

    Entering Edit Mode In the Edit Mode, you can edit both Voice and Performance parameters. In the above procedure, the Edit Mode is entered after the Edit button is pressed in step #1. At that time, you can push any or all of the buttons indicated as many times as necessary to make the desired edits.

  • Page 29: Editing Performance And Voice Data

    Editing Performance and Voice Data After entering one of the Edit Modes, use the number buttons to access the parameter whose value you wish to change. Each number button calls up a variety of parameters, often through the use of multiple LCD screen displays. A complete set of these screen displays will be given at the beginning of Section 3 (for Performance parameters) and Section 4 (for Voice parameters).
