CONGRATULATIONS!
Your Yamaha DX27 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer incorporates
state-of-the-art digital FM tone generation technology, providing extraordinarily vibrant,
rich voices and outstanding playability. The DX27 has a programmable 24-voice IN-
TERNAL 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
selection, and a cassette interface that permits unlimited storage of FM voices. Of course,
the DX27 is fully programmable, allowing you to create your own FM voices or sound
effects. Broad MIDI compatibility is also provided so the DX27 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 DX27, we urge you to read this owner’s manual thoroughly while actually trying
out all of the available functions.
