Selecting and Playing Songs

55

The DGX-200 lets you play a melody on the keyboard along with each of the 
songs, either with the original melody voice or one of your own selection.  The 
convenient Melody Voice Change feature takes this one step further — it lets you 
replace the original voice used for the melody of the song with the panel voice of 
your own selection.  For example, if the current voice selected on the panel is 
piano but the song’s melody is being played by a flute voice, using Melody Voice 
Change will change the flute melody voice to piano.

1

Select the desired song.

Press the [SONG] button, then use the dial , numeric keypad or [+]/[-] but-
tons to select the desired song. (See page 51.)

2

Select the desired voice.

Press the [VOICE] button, then use the dial , numeric keypad or [+]/[-] but-
tons to select the desired voice. (See page 23.)

3

Press and hold down the [VOICE] button for at least one 
second.

“MELODY VOICE CHANGE” appears in the display, indicating that the 
selected panel voice has replaced the song’s original melody voice.

The playback volume of the song can be adjusted in the 

Function mode (page 76)

.  

This volume control affects only the Song volume.  The volume range is 000 - 
127.

• Song Volume cannot be changed 

unless the Song mode is active.  
(This function becomes Style Vol-
ume when the Style mode is 
active.)
