Main Features

The DGX-200 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the following features and functions:
I Stereo Sampled Piano...........................................................................page 20
The DGX-200 has a special Portable Grand Piano Voice — created by state-of-the-art stereo sampling technology
and using Yamaha's sophiscated AWM (Advanced Wave memory) tone generation system.
I Touch Response....................................................................................page 30
The exceptionally natural Touch Response feature, with a convenient front panel on/off switch, gives you maximum
expressive level control over the voices. It also works in conjunction with the Dynamic Filter, which dynamically
adjusts the timbre or tone of a voice according to your playing strength — just a like a real musical instrument!
I Yamaha Education Suite.........................................................pages 43, 45, 61
The DGX-200 features the new Yamaha Education Suite — a set of learning tools that utilize the latest technology to
make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before!
I One Touch Setting.................................................................................page 28
The One Touch Setting feature lets you automatically call up an appropriate voice for playing with the selected style.
Each style has memory space for two One Touch Settings, and you can change them to your own desired voice set-
ting — letting you save your custom panel settings for instant recall.
I Powerful Speaker System
The built-in stereo amplifier/speaker system of the DGX-200 — with a special Bass Boost feature — provides
exceptionally powerful, high-quality sound, letting you hear the full dynamic range of the DGX-200's authentic
voices.
I Music Database......................................................................................page 48
The DGX-200 has an advanced, easy-to-use Music Database feature that automatically selects the style, voice, and
effect settings for playing in a specific type of music. This can be a big help if you know what genre of music you
want to play, but you don't know what settings to make. Just select the genre, and the DGX-200 takes care of the
rest!
I GM System Level 1
"GM System Level 1" is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music
data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The
GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level.
I XGlite
As its name implies, "XGlite" is a simplified version of Yamaha's high-quality XG tone generation format.
Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind
that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due to the reduced set of control
parameters and effects.
