TIONS!
Your
Yamaha DX100
Digital
Programmable
Algorithm Synthesizer
incorporates
state-
of-the-art
digital
FM
tone generation technology,
providing
extraordinarily vibrant,
rich
voices
and
outstanding
payability.
The DX1 00
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
1
92
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
DX1 00
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
DX1
00,
we
urge
you
to
read
this
owner's manual
thoroughly while
actually trying
out
all
of the available functions.
