Welcome
Welcome to the DX7 II FD/D, the newest members of the growing family of FM digital
synthesizers from Yamaha. Using the industry-standard DX7 as its starting point, the DX
II offers a number of important new features, such as improved sound quality, two-layer
voice programming, additional FM features, new performance options, an expanded
front-panel LCD display, and on-board disk storage (on the DX7IIFD).
Since there is so much material available on the DX7 family of synthesizers (and on the
theory of FM digital synthesis), this manual will not be an FM tutorial. Instead, it has
been designed to be a “users manual” in the truest sense — it's goal is to help you make
music with your new DX7IIFD as quickly as possible.
If you are already familiar with the operation of the original DX7, this manual will help
you make the transition to the DX7IIFD in short order. On the other hand, if this is your
first FM digital instrument, this manual will guide you into the operation of your new
synthesizer with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and explanations.
After you are comfortable with the operation of your new synthesizer, you may want to
e
xplore the fascinating world of FM digital voicing. If so, consult the extensive list of
reference works on FM synthesis listed in the bibliography at the back of this manual.
