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
