Important Notices

The DX200 Editor is a comprehensive editing software program specially designed for

the DX200 Desktop Control Synthesizer - providing an easy, intuitive way to edit and

create your own original DX200 patterns for the DX200 Desktop Control Synthesizer.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not use any of the panel controls on an external synthesizer while editing the Patterns

with the DX200 Editor, since this may inadvertently change the settings of the DX200.
