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 configuration for one-touch se-
lection, and a cassette interface that permits unlimited storage of FM voices. Of course,
the DX100 is fully programmable, allowing you to create your own FM voices or sound
effects. Broad MIDI compatibility is also provided so the DX100 can control or be
controlled via other MIDI-compatible music equipment.
To ensure that you gain maximum benefit from all the performance and flexibility provided
by the DX100, we urge you to read this owner’s manual thoroughly while actually trying
out all of the available functions.
