YAMAHA DX7 - PLAY MODE

PLAY MODE

Playing the Internal Voices
The DX7 has 32 internal voices, any one of which can be selected simply by pressing the INTERNAL key in the MEMORY SELECT group, and then by pressing the appropriate VOICE SELECT key.
Each VOICE SELECT key has a large numeral that corresponds to the voice number at its left edge.

Set the desired VOLUME level
With power to the DX7 and your amplifier system ON, gradually raise the volume control while playing a note on the keyboard until the desired volume level is reached. Set the volume control on your amplifier so the optimum volume is attained with the DX7 volume control set about "8".

Fine adjustment of the volume while playing can be achieved using an optional FC-3A foot controller plugged into the VOLUME jack on the DX7 rear panel. Remember that the DX7 and amplifier volume controls should be set high enough that adequate volume control range is available using the foot controller.

Playing the Cartridge Voices
An extra 64 voices can be added to the available selection simply by plugging in one of the supplied external voice cartridges.
Insert a cartridge as shown in the figure.
Select the cartridge voices by first pressing the CARTRIDGE key in the MEMORY SELECT groupe, and then select the desired voice by pressing the appropriate VOICE SELECT key, just as in internal voice selection.
Selection of cartridge voice groupes A1 - A32 and B - B32 is accomplished using the selector switch on the cartridge.

When data entry is initiated while in the PLAY mode, the parameter selected at the end of the FUNCTION mode can be controlled.
