Yamaha Product Catalog
This guide is designed to take you through the Yamaha DX200 Desktop Control Synthesizer. It is not
intended to be used instead of the manual, but rather as a short cut to help you get up and running with it
quickly. Furthermore, it should be noted that the DX200 manual is very cool. It is essentially a collection of
92 “Tips” that take you all the way through the DX200. Don’t fear the manual! It ’s remarkably good! Lastly,
the Loop Factory brochure is amazing: It has it’s own little quick start guide when you completely unfold it.
One thing Yamaha does quite well is a brochure. You can learn a great deal simply by reading it. Very cool.
(Brief word about nomenclature in this document: Actual buttons on the front panel of the machine are listed
in all caps and bracketed like this: [SYNTH TRACK]. Shift functions are listed like this:
EVENT SELECT
.
These are the important ones…just so you know…)
