Setting Up Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power. Power Requirements Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources. EH Using an AC Power Adaptor © Make sure that the [STANDB Y/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY. À WARNING + Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adap- tor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument. @ Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack. @ Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. À\ CAUTION Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

PA-5D f}æ AC outlet H Using Batteries © Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel. @ Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compart- ment. @ Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. [NOTE + Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed. 10 DGx-220/YPG-225 Owner's Manual For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see page 49), since custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed. À cAuTION Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possi- bly resulting in a loss of flash memory data. + Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals. + When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time. + Ifthe instrument will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage. + Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to flash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.

Setting Up Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on. Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) The DGX-220/Y PG-225 speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an exter- nal output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instruments output signal to that device. À WARNING Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long peri- ods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing. À caurion To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

[NOTE j + Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUS- TAIN jack before turning on the power. + Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation. Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal) Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB ter- minal of a computer, and you can transfer performance data and song files between the two (page 79). To use the USB data-transfer features you’Il need to do the fol- lowing: - First, make sure the POWER switch on the instru- ment is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to con- nect the instrument to the computer. After making the connections, turn on the power of the instru- ment. + Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer. Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on page 87.

Playing Styles Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment. In this section we’ Il take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord sequences”. Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different fingerings of the same chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge influence on the overall feel of the music you play. On page 20 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take your accompaniments to a new level. On these pages we’Il introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively creating a complete song. BPlaying the Chord Progressions . + Play the scores with the left hand.

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions Chord Basics Two or more notes played together constitute a “chor The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the A root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, ln

for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the

€ major scale), and G (the fifth note of the € major scale).

3rd Rbot 8rd In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” … using other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third. Major third-four half steps (semitones) Minor third-three half steps (semitones) — mn e| je e The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two addi- tional chords, as shown below.

Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”). © Reading Chord Names Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the C m chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a / N major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses … all at a glance.

ere, Connecting to a Computer Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today—particularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devices—use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide stan- dard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Natu- rally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs, styles and panel settings. The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enormous—simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this section, you'll learn the basics of MIDI and the specific MIDI functions pro- vided by this instrument. What Is MIDI? No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument”. In the world today, these are the two main categories of instru- ments. Let’s consider à grand piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note? @ Acoustic guitar note production 7” Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound. © Digital instrument note production

NE —— +; L Tone Generator g\ K ET” Sampling | (Electronic circuit | Sampting ( R Note Hi renun trnur L] NE Playing the keyboai Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers. As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (elec- tronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production? 78 DGX-220/YPG-225 Owners Manual For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a reso- nated note, the electronic instrument puts out infor- mation from the keyboard such as “with what voice”, “with which key”, “about how strong”, “when was it pressed”, and “when was it released”. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note. Example of Keyboard Information Voice number (with what voice) 1 (grand piano) 60 (C3) Note number (with which key) Note on (when was it pressed) and | Timing expressed note off (when was it released) numerically (quarter note) Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong) Your keyboard performance and all panel opera- tions of this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs, auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also made up of MIDI data. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instru- ment Digital Interface and it allows different musi- cal instruments and devices to instantly communicate with each other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all over the world and was designed to transmit performance data between electronic musical instruments (or computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one instrument from another and transmit performance data between the devices-taking your creative and per- formance potential to even higher levels. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.

Connecting to a Computer © Channel Messages This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI channels simultaneously—meaning it can play up to sixteen different instruments at the same time. Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.

Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interfer- ence. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back. Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output. Check the Local Control on’off. (See page 80.) Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 70), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type. + The volume is too soft. + The sound quality is poor. + The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play. + The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play cor- rectly. + The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset. The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor. The style or song does not play back when the ISTART/STOP] button is pressed. Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF: refer to “External Clock” on page 80. The style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 76) is set to an appropriate level. Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 65). Is the “ACMP ON" indicator showing in the display? If itis not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show. No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 121 or a style between 133-150 (Pianist). This is not a malfunction. Style number 121 and style numbers 133-150 (Pia- nist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on. Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or ‘stolen”) from the accompaniment or song. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts offthe sound and releasing it sustains the sounds. The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note. The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off. The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed. Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any style-related function. There is no harmony sound. The harmony effects (01-26) behave differentiy according to their type. Types 01-05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the accompani- ment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the right-hand range. Types 06-26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time. 92 DGX-220/YPG-225 Ouners Manual

These types sound whether the auto accompani- ment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo set- ting (page 35). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets. + The Till effect Types (06-12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes are held + The Tremolo effect Types (13-19) repeat all held notes (up to four). + The Echo effect Types (20-26) create delayed repeats of each note played. © Reverb Types No. Reverb Type Description 01-03 | Hall1-3 Concert hall reverb. 04-05 | Room 1-2 Small room reverb 06-07 | Stage 1-2 Reverb for solo instruments. 08-09 | Plate 1-2 Simulated steel plate reverb. 10 Of No eftect. © Chorus Types No. Chorus Type Description 01-02 | Chorus 1-2 Conventional chorus program with rich, warm chorusing. 03-04 | Flanger 1-2 Pronounced three-phase modulation with à slight metallic sound 05 Of No eftect.
