DX27 CONNECTIONS 5.
CHAPTER II: PLAYING THE DX27 1. DX27 Voice Memory Configuration The DX27 has three different voice memories which serve different purposes. They are: The 24-voice INTERNAL memory This voice memory is used for quick selection of voices for performance, and it is in this memory that original voices you have edited or programmed are initially stored.
mode, while the second group is accessed in the SHIFT mode (these modes will be described below. These voices may be selected and stored in the BANK or INTERNAL memories as desired. They can also be directly accessed and played using the PRESET SEARCH function.
3. The BANK PLAY Mode In this mode, you can play any of the voices currently in the DX27’s 24-voice INTERNAL memory individually. The BANK PLAY mode enables you to access the 96 BANK memory locations. These initially contain the first group of 96 voices from the 192-voice PRESET ROM.
The DX27 comes with 192 different pre-programmed voices in an internal ROM 4. The 192-Voice (Read Only Memory). These voices can be loaded singly into the DX27’s selectable PRESET Memory 24-voice memory, or into any location in the DX27 BANK memory.
PRESET SEARCH This function allows you to directly access the voices in the PRESET memory, in the order they appear in the PRESET memory. PRESET SEARCH is accessed in the FUNCTION mode.
CHAPTER III: THE FUNCTION MODE The FUNCTION mode permits access to four groups of functions: tuning functions, MIDI functions, memory management functions, and performance functions. In this chapter we’ll describe each of these functions; what they do and how they are programmed.
* Note that performance parameters 13 through 24 can be individually stored for each voice. They must therefore be stored in the appropriate INTERNAL voice memory location after editing using the STORE function (see CHAPTER IV: VOICE PROGRAMMING, 4. Storing Voice Data).
15: PORTAMENTO MODE Two different portamento modes are available: Full Time Portamento and Fingered Portamento. When the POLY/MONO function is set to POLY (button 13), only the Full Time Portamento mode is accessible. In the MONO mode, you have a choice between the Full Time and Fingered portamento modes.
As you move the DX27 modulation wheel away from you, an increasing amount of LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) modulation is applied to the selected voice. LFO modulation can be made to modulate the pitch of the voice, producing a range of vibrato type effects.
The four BREATH parameters listed below determine just how the breath controller will affect the DX27’s sound. These parameters may be set individually, or combined for more complex effects. 20 : BREATH RANGE, PITCH This function is used to set the maximum depth of LFO pitch modulation that can be applied using the breath controller.
23: BREATH RANGE, EG BIAS This function permits breath pressure applied to the BC-1 breath controller to directly control the amplitude or timbre of the voice, according to settings of the corre- sponding voice parameters which will be covered in CHAPTER IV.
be used once after this function is called. Subsequent changes must be made using the DATA ENTRY slider and -1/+1 buttons after the INTERNAL PLAY mode and KEY SHIFT function have been entered in succession. NOTE: The KEY SET function can not be individually programmed for each voice.
7: INIT VOlCE This function sets all voice parameters in the voice edit buffer to their “initialized” values, permitting voice programming from an effectively neutral set of values—a “clean slate.” When this function is called, the LCD will read “Init.
for convenience and ease of selection during a performance, you would use the EDIT BANK function to place your 10 required voices in locations 1—10 in BANK A. There are 4 entire banks in the BANK memory. This means you can have 4 per- sonally-arranged 24-voice groups to choose from, i.
Before using this function, make sure that an appropriate data cassette recorder is properly connected to the DX27, as described in CHAPTER I: SETTING UP. When this function is initially called, the LCD will read “Save to Tape ?” Confirm your intention to save the contents of the 24 voices to cassette tape by pressing the +1 button.
memory (remember, this will erase any voices previously in the INTERNAL voice memory) by pressing the +1 button. The LCD will now read “Load all ready ?” At this point, make sure the appropriate cassette tape is loaded into the recorder and is rewound to the beginning of the desired voice file.
DX21 CASSETTE LOAD NOTE: If you have a voice set programmed on a Yamaha DX21 Digital Programmable Algorithm Synthesizer, these voices can be transferred from data cassette into the DX27.
3: CHANNEL The DX27 is capable of receiving or transmitting data on any of the 16 available MIDI channels, or receiving in the OMNI mode which enables reception on all channels simultaneously. This function is used to set the desired MIDI receive or transmit channel or activate the OMNI receive mode.
5: SYS INFO This function turns transmission and reception of MIDI SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION data ON or OFF. The -1/+1 buttons are used to turn this function ON or OFF. When this function is ON, voice parameter changes made in the DX27’s EDIT or FUNCTION modes are transmitted in real time.
CHAPTER IV: VOICE PROGRAMMING Before you begin actually programming or editing your own voices, a basic un- 1. The Basics of FM derstanding of how digital FM synthesis works will be necessary. In the following Synthesis explanation, we will learn how the DX27’s FM voice generator produces complex voices.
Operators do not have to be connected “vertically” in a modulator-carrier re- lationship, as shown above. The outputs of two operators can also be mixed-just as the stops in an organ are mixed. In this case the sounds are simply added together with no modulation effect.
Most algorithms have multiple modulators and carriers. In one algorithm a given operator may be a carrier, while in the next it might function as a modulator—the only difference being how it is connected.
Still more variations can be achieved by changing the relative output levels between operators; the greater the level of the modulating operator, the more harmonics are present.
content of the note changes (the timbre changes) from the time the note is initiated to the time it decays. Each of the 4 operators available in DX27 can be programmed with its own envelope.
To actually program or edit a voice, you need to enter the EDIT mode. This is done 2. The EDIT and by pressing the EDIT/COMPARE button. COMPARE Modes When the EDIT mode is activated, the LCD will indicate the operator ON/OFF status (the group of four 1s or 0s), the currently selected voice parameter, and the currently selected operator.
3. The Voice Parameters The following is a brief description of each available voice parameter, how it is programmed, and its effect. These parameters are selected by pressing the appro- priately labelled (purple labels indicate voice parameters) button while the DX27 is in the EDIT mode.
2: FEEDBACK Feedback can be applied to one operator in each algorithm. Pressing this button permits setting the amount (level) of feedback which will be applied. The feedback level range is from 0 to 7. At 0, feedback is OFF, and at 7 maximum feedback is applied.
5: LFO DELAY Permits setting a delay of between 0 and approximately 10.7 seconds before the LFO modulation effect begins after a key is played. This is particularly useful for simulating brass instruments, human voice, etc., in which a vibrato effect is gradually applied after the note has been initiated.
The beginning of the LFO cycle is normally synchronized with key-on timing. This parameter permits turning this synchronization on or off. All operators are affected simultaneously. When this parameter is on, the LFO cycle always begins from the peak of a positive half-cycle (90 degrees phase angle) when a key is played.
effects can be applied to the selected operators. A setting of 7 produces maximum sensitivity and therefore maximum effect depth. 12: KEY VELOCITY While the DX27 has no key velocity sensitivity of its own, its voice generators will accept key velocity data from an external MIDI controller keyboard which does have this feature.
ratio at a low operator level with even-ratio operators to add bite to a string sound and many other effects. The standard DX27 keyboard pitch is 8’; therefore, in terms of footage: 0.
The following EG curves show the parameters for some common instruments. 20: OPERATOR OUT LEVEL Permits setting the output level of the selected operator. The data range is from 0 to 99. At 0, the operator is OFF. A setting of 99 produces maximum output level from the selected operator.
The data range is from 0 to 3. At 0 RATE SCALING is OFF, and at 3 the greatest, variation in envelope length is produced. KEYBOARD RATE SCALING RS These values are added to AR, DIR, D2R ac- cording to the Rate Scaling setting. Only 1/2 of these values are ad- ded to RR.
4. Storing Voice Data If you have edited any of the above voice parameters and wish to store the new voice, you must use the STORE function BEFORE PRESSING ANY VOICE BUTTON AFTER EXITING THE EDIT OR FUNCTION MODES, and store the new data in one of the 24 INTERNAL memories.
If you choose to program a voice from scratch, you’ll need to have a clear memory location (or one containing a voice that you either don’t want or have already backed up on cassette tape, so that when you’ve completed programming the voice, you can save it).
CHAPTER V: VOICE PROGRAMMING EXAMPLE In this section we’ll go through the steps in creating a fairly percussive electric piano voice from scratch. This simple example should help you understand the programming process. STEP 1: Initialize a Voice Enter the FUNCTION mode (press FUNCTION button) and call the MEMORY PROTECT function.
Since the voice has been initialized, the output level of operator 1 will be set at 90 and that of operator 2 will be 0, so at the moment we only hear the sound from operator 1. STEP 4: Set the OP1 (carrier) EG Select the ENVELOPE GENERATOR AR parameter, and select operator 1 by pressing the OPERATOR SELECT button.
STEP 8: STEP 9: STEP 10: STEP 11: STEP 12: Set OP3 (carrier) EG Before we actually set the OP3 EG parameters, select OP3 using the OPERATOR SELECT button, call the OPERATOR OUTPUT LEVEL parameter and set it to 99.
STEP 14: Set Keyboard Level Scaling Play a few notes or chords across the range of the keyboard. At this point the upper-range notes are a little to loud and tinny for proper overall keyboard balance. Select the KEYBOARD LEVEL SCALING PARAMETER, select OP1 and set to 20.
