YAMAHA DGX-220 - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING - 1

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

  • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
  • Use the specified adaptor (PA-5D or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
  • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
  • Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

Do not open

  • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Water warning

  • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
  • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

  • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
    A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.

If you notice any abnormality

  • If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - If you notice any abnormality - 1

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

  • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
  • Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
  • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

Battery

  • Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
  • Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
  • Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

  • Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.

  • When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid.
  • Keep batteries away from children.
  • If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

Location

  • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
  • Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.
  • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

  • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

  • When setting up the instrument, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet.
  • Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Connections

  • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Maintenance

  • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinkers, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

  • Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.
  • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
  • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
  • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
  • Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

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.

Using an AC Power Adaptor

1 Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Using an AC Power Adaptor - 1

WARNING

  • Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor 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.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

  • Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - CAUTION - 1

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 compartment.
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.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - NOTE - 1

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.

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, possibly 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.
  • If the 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.

Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.

Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) - 1

The DGX-220/YPG-225 speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external 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 instrument's output signal to that device.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) - 2

WARNING

  • Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

  • 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.

Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack) - 1

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.

NOTE

  • 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)

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal) - 1

Connect the instrument's USB terminal to the USB terminal 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'll need to do the following:

  • First, make sure the POWER switch on the instrument is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer. After making the connections, turn on the power of the instrument.
    Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on page 87.

NOTE

Fun Sounds

This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects you can use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet fly-bys, eerie effects, and much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the mood at parties.

Drum Kits

Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other normal instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at different pitches. If you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound of a different drum or percussion instrument.

"127 SFX Kit1" includes lightning, running water, dogs barking, and others. Some keys do not have assigned sound effects, and will therefore produce no sound. For details on the instruments included in the SFX kit voices, see "SFX Kit 1" and "SFX Kit 2" in the "Drum Kit List" on page 104.

This instrument has an auto accompaniment feature that produces accompaniment (rhythm + bass + chords) in the style you choose to match chords you play with your left hand. You can select from 150 different styles covering a range of musical genres and time signatures (see page 106 for a complete list of the available styles). In this section we'll learn how to use the auto accompaniment features.

You can switch style "sections" to add variety to the accompaniment. Refer to "Pattern Variation (Sections)" on page 63.

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'll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or "chord sequences". Since each chord has its 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'll 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.

■Playing the Chord Progressions

Play the scores with the left hand.

Before playing the scores follow steps 1 through 3 of "Play Along with a Style" on page 20.

  • The scores provided here are not standard song scores, but rather simplified scores that indicate which notes to play to produce the chord progressions.

  • Easy Chords
    Standard Chords

The instrument will automatically recognize the different chord types. This function is called Multi Fingering.

Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto-accompaniment on (page 20). The keyboard to the left of the split point (default: 54/F#2) becomes the "accompaniment range". Play the accompaniment chords in this area of the keyboard.

Chord Basics

Two or more notes played together constitute a "chord".

The most basic chord type is the "triad" consisting of three notes: the root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale).

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Chord Basics - 1

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.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Chord Basics - 2
Major third-four half steps (semitones)

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Chord Basics - 3
Minor third-three half steps (semitones)

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 additional chords, as shown below.

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Chord Basics - 4

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Chord Basics - 5

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Chord Basics - 6

YAMAHA DGX-220 - Chord Basics - 7

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. 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 chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses ... all at a glance.

  • These chords are not shown in the Dictionary function.

NOTE

Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
- Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.
- A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords.
- The chord fingerings listed are all in "root" position, but other inversions can be used—with the following exceptions: m7 , m7 5 , 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7 5, 6(9), 1+2+5.

NOTE

  • Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted.
  • The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
  • Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

Looking Up Chords Using the Chord Dictionary

The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in "chord book" that shows you the individual notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want to quickly learn how to play it.

Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today—particularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devices—use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, 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 provided 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 instruments. Let's consider a 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
YAMAHA DGX-220 - What Is MIDI? - 1
Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound.

Digital instrument note production
YAMAHA DGX-220 - What Is MIDI? - 2
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 (electronic 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?

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 resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information 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)
Note number (with which key)60 (C3)
Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released)Timing expressed numerically (quarter note)
Velocity (about how strong)120 (strong)

Your keyboard performance and all panel operations 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 Instrument Digital Interface and it allows different musical 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 performance potential to even higher levels.

MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.

- 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.

Message NameInstrument Operation/Panel Setting
Note ON/OFFPerformance data of the keyboard (contains note number and velocity data)
Program ChangeInstrument selection (including bank select MSB/LSB, if necessary)
Control ChangeInstrument settings (volume, pan, etc.)

- System Messages

This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include messages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.

Message NameInstrument Operation/Panel Setting
Exclusive MessageReverb/chorus settings, etc.
Realtime MessagesStart/stop operation

ProblemPossible 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 interference. 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 correctly. • 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 [START/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 it is 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 (Pianist) 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 off the 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 ACPI 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 differently 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.

Maximum Polyphony

The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a number of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).

NOTE

  • The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device.
  • Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI Program Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Program Numbers and Program Change Numbers differ by a value of 1. Remember to take this into consideration.
  • Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

The voice number with an asterisk (*) is XGlite optional voice.

  • " _ " indicates that the drum sound is the same as "Standard Kit 1".
    Each percussion voice uses one note.
  • The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in "117: Standard Kit 1", the "Seq Click H" (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
    Key Off: Keys marked "O" stop sounding the instant they are released.
  • Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to be played alternately with each other.)

The easy song arranger can only be used with songs that include chord data.

Harmony Types

No.Harmony TypeDescription
01DuetHarmony types 01–05 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the single-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the auto accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing songs that contain chord data.
02Trio
03Block
04Country
05Octave
06Trill 1/4 note3Types 6–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in time with the auto accompaniment. 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 Trill 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.
