CHAPTER II: PLAYING THE DX100 1. DX100 Voice Memory Configuration The DX100 has three different voice memories which serve different purposes. They are: The 24-voice INTERNAL memory. This voice memory is used for quick selection of voices for performance, and it is to this memory that original voices you have edited or programmed are initially stor[...]

mode, while the second group is accessed in the SHIFT mode (these modes will be described below. These voices may be selected and stored in the BANK or INTERNAL memories as desired. 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 BUFFE[...]

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. 3. The BANK PLAY These initially contain the first group of 96 voices from the 192-voice PRESET Mode ROM. Using the SHIFT mode, however, you can also access the second [...]

The DX100 comes with 192 different pre-programmed voices in an internal ROM (Read Only Memory).These voiced can be loaded singly into the DX100's selectable 24-voice INTERNAL memory, or into any location in the DX100 bank memory. 4. The 192-Voice PRESET Memory THE 192 PRESET ROM VOICES NORMAL MODE VOICES Group 1 01 IvoryEbony 0 2 Oprt piano 03[...]

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 [...]

CHAPTER III: THE FUNCTION MODE The FUNCTION mode permits access to four groups of functions: tuning functions, MIDI functions, memory 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. Indivi[...]

* 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 mod[...]

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 mode[...]

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 PROGRAMMI[...]

20: BREATH RANGE, PITCH This function is used to set the maximum depth of LFO pitch modulation that can be applied using the breath controller. The actual effect produced depends on the settings of the LFO parameters-these will be discussed in CHAPTER IV : VOlCE PROGRAMMING. Note, however, that the appropriate voice PITCH MODU- LATION SENSlTlVlTY p[...]

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[...]

be used once after this function is called. Subsequent changes must be made using the DATA ENTRY slider and -1 /+1 buttons after the INTERNAL PLAY mode and KEY SHIFT function have been entered in succession. and KEY SHIFT function have been entered in succession. The KEY SET function can not be individually programmed for each voice NOTE: This sect[...]

7: INIT VOICE This function sets all voice parameters in the voice edit buffer to their “initialized” values, permitting voice programming from an effectively neutral set of values—a “clean slate”. When this function is called, the LCD will read “Init. Voice?” Confirm your intention to initialize the voice edit buffer by pressing the [...]

for convenience and ease of selection during a performance, you would use the BANK EDIT function to place your 10 required voices in locations 1–10 in BANK A. There are 4 entire banks in the BANK memory. This means you can have 4 per- sonally-arranged 24-voice groups to choose from, i.e., separate BANK for each set in a performance. To enter the [...]

When this function is initially called, the LCD will read “Save to Tape ?” Confirm your intention to save the contents of the 24 voices to cassette tape by pressing the +1 button. The display will then read “Save ready?” At this point, reconfirm that the cassette recorder is set up properly, make sure a suitable blank tape is loaded into th[...]

DATA ENTRY YES button again and start the cassette recorder running in the PLAY mode. Pressing the -1 button prior to the final step in the above process will abort the CASSETTE LOAD function. The DX100 will indicate each voice on the LCD as it is loaded. When the load function is completed, the LCD will read “Load Completed”. Stop the cassette[...]

DX21 CASSETTE LOAD If you have a voice set programmed on a Yamaha DX21 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer, these voices can be transferred from data cassette into the DX100. Of course, since the DX100 has 24 voice memories while the DX21 has 32, using the DX100 cassette LOAD operation will load only the first 24 voices of the DX21 32-voice [...]

is normally set to match the transmission or reception channel of the MlDI equipment to which the DX100 is connected. Data is entered using the DATA ENTRY control or -1/+1 buttons. Subsequent presses on the CHANNEL button call the “Omni: on/off”, “Midi R Ch=1–16”, and “Midi T Ch=1–16” selection modes. 4: CH INFO This is the MIDI cha[...]

CHAPTER IV: VOICE PROGRAMMING Before you begin actually programming or editing your own voices, a basic un- 1. The Basics of FM derstanding of how digital FM synthesis works will be necessary. In the following Synthesis explanation, we will learn how the DX100’s FM voice generator produces complex voices. This information will help you to underst[...]

Operators do not have to be connected “vertically” in a modulator-carrier re- lationship, as shown above. The outputs of two operators can also be mixed-just as the stops in an organ are mixed. In this case the sounds are simply added together with no modulation effect. ALGORlTHMS We have seen two different ways that two operators may be combin[...]

Most algorithms have multiple modulators and carriers. In one algorithm a given operator may be a carrier, while in the next it might function as a modulator–the only difference being how it is connected. In algorithm number 5 for example, there are two vertical stacks of two operators, and the outputs of the carriers in these stacks are connecte[...]

Still more variations can be achieved by changing the relative output levels between operators; the greater the level of the modulating operator, the more harmonics are present. FEEDBACK Note that every algorithm has one operator with a “feedback loop”–represented by a line from the output of the operator which feeds back to the input of the [...]

content of the note changes (the timbre changes) from the time the note is initiated to the time it decays. Each of the 4 operators available in DX100 can be programmed with its own en- velope. The envelope applied to a carrier will, generally, contribute to the overall volume envelope of the note, while an envelope applied to a modulator will con-[...]

2. The EDIT and To actually program or edit a voice, you need to enter the EDIT mode. This is done by pressing the EDIT/COMPARE button in the group of buttons. COMPARE Modes When the EDIT mode is activated, the LCD will indicate the operator ON/OFF status (the group of four 1s or 0 S ), the currently selected voice parameter, and the currently sele[...]

3. The Voice Parameters The following is a brief description of each available voice parameter, how it is programmed, and its effect. These parameters are selected by pressing the appro- priately labelled (purple labels indicate voice parameters) button while the DX100 is in the EDIT mode. PB MODE: OPERATOR SELECT This switch (located immediately a[...]

2: FEEDBACK Feedback can be applied to one operator in each algorithm. Pressing this button permits setting the amount (level) of feedback which will be applied. The feedback level range is from 0 to 7. At 0, feedback is OFF, and at 7 maximum feedback is applied. Data is entered via the DATA ENTRY slider or buttons. The LFO “LFO” stands for Low[...]

5: LFO DELAY Permits setting a delay of between 0 and approximately 10.7 seconds before the LFO modulation effect begins after a key is played. This is particularly useful for simulating brass instruments, human voice, etc., in which a vibrato effect is gradually applied after the note has been initiated. The data range is from 0 to 99. At 0 there [...]

The beginning of the LFO cycle is normally synchronized with key-on timing. This parameter permits turning this synchronization on or off. All operators are affected simultaneously. When this parameter is on, the LFO cycle always begins from the peak of a positive half-cycle (90 degrees phase angle) when a key is played. This produces a clear, cons[...]

effects can be applied to the selected operators. A setting of 7 produces maximum sensitivity and therefore maximum effect depth. 12: KEY VELOCITY While the DX100 has no key velocity sensitivity of its own, its voice generators will accept key velocity data from an external MIDI controller keyboard which does have this feature. This function determ[...]

ratio at a low operator level with even-ratio operators to add bite to a string sound and many other effects. The standard DX100 keyboard pitch is 8’; therefore, in terms of footage: 0.50 = 16’, 1.00 = 8’, and 2.00 = 4’. 14: DETUNE This parameter permits slight detuning of the selected operator in relation to the others, making it possible [...]

The following EG curves show the parameters for some common instruments. PIANO E.G. CURVE ORGAN E.G. CURVE BRASS E.G. CURVE 20: OPERATOR OUT LEVEL Permits setting the output level of the selected operator. The data range is from 0 to 99. At 0, the operator is OFF. A setting of 99 produces maximum output level from the selected operator. Varying the[...]

4. Storing Voice Data If you have edited any of the above voice parameters and wish to store the new voice, you must use the STORE function BEFORE PRESSING ANY VOICE BUTTON AFTER EXITING THE EDIT OR FUNCTION MODES, and store the new data in one of the 24 INTERNAL memories. For this reason it is a good idea to have a free memory location ready befor[...]

If you choose to program a voice from scratch, you’ll need to have a clear memory location (or one containing a voice that you either don’t want or have already backed up on cassette tape, so that when you’ve completed programming the voice, you can save it). Since all editing is done in the separate voice edit buffer, nothing is erased while[...]

CHAPTER V: VO ICE PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE In this section we’ll go through the steps in creating a fairly percussive electric piano voice from scratch. This simple example should help you understand the programming process. STEP 1: Initialize a Voice Enter the FUNCTION mode (press FUNCTION button) and call the MEMORY PROTECT function. Turn MEMORY PRO[...]

STEP 4: STEP 5: STEP 6: STEP 7. STEP 8: Set the OP1 (carrier) EG Select the ENVELOPE GENERATOR AR parameter, and select operator 1 by pressing the OPERATOR SELECT button. We want an instantaneous attack, so AR should be set at 31. Select the D1R parameter and set to 10 for a relatively slow initial decay. Select the D1L parameter and set to 10. Sel[...]

Raise OP4 (modulator) Output Level Select OP4, select the OPERATOR OUTPUT LEVEL parameter and set it to 71. Set OP4 Frequency Ratio To get a metallic attack [...]

STEP 15: Add Amplitude Modulation to OP2 As a final enhancement to our voice, let’s add just a touch of amplitude modulation to OP2—the main piano sound modulator. This will create a subtle chorus effect. Select the LFO WAVE parameter, set to triangle. Select the LFO SPEED parameter, set to 28. Select the AMD (Amplitude Modulation Depth) parame[...]
