mT,

Congratulations!

Your

DS55

Digital

Synthesizer

is

a

fine

example

of

advanced

YAMAHA

music

technology.

It

uses

the

un-

matched

YAMAHA

FM

tone

generation

system

to

create

rich,

vibrant

simulations

of

acoustic,

electric

and

electronic

instruments

—

and

sounds

that

are

totally

different.

The

DS55

offers

200

outstanding

preset

voices

that

you

can

use

immediately.

You

can

also

edit

the

presets

using

the

DS55's

easy

editing

system

to

create

subtle

variations

or

completely

original

voices.

Up

to

100

of

your

original

creations

can

be

stored

in

internal

memory

for

instant

recall.

The

DS55

even

has

a

built-in

delay

effect

that

can

add

extra

warmth

and

ambience

to

any

voice

you

play.

Of

course

you

can

play

any

single

voice,

but

the

DS55

also

offers

a

split

play

mode

in

which

you

can

play

two

voices

on

different

sections

of

the

keyboara,

and

a

dual

play

mode

in

which

two

voices

can

be

played

simultaneously

across

the

entire

keyboard.

Perhaps

the

highlight

of

the

DS55

is

its

remarkable

Auto

Performance

system.

This

YAMAHA

innovation

provides

a

wide

range

of

beautifully

orches-

trated

accompaniment

patterns

that

you

can

use

for

practice

or

performance.

Of

course,

the

DS55

is

fully

MIDI

equipped

so

it

can

serve

as

the

center

of

a

sophisticated

MIDI

music

system.

For

even

more

conven-

ience,

the

DS55

will

operate

from

an

AC

adapter

or

batteries,

so

you

can

play

anywhere,

anytime.

In

order

to

make

the

most

of

the

fine

performance

and

many

features

provided

by

your

DS55,

we

urge

you

to

read

this

operation

manual

thoroughly,

and

keep

it

in

a

safe

place

for

later

reference.

PRECAUTIONS

AVOID

EXCESSIVE

HEAT,

HUMIDITY,

DUST

AND

VIBRATION

—

Keep

the

unit

away

from

locations

where

it

is

likely

to

be

exposed

to

high

temperatures

or

humidity

—such

as

near

radiators,

stoves,

etc.

Also

avoid

locations

which

are

subject

to

excessive

dust

accumulation

or

vibration

which

could

cause

mechani-

cal

damage.

AVOID

PHYSICAL

SHOCKS

—

Strong

physical

shocks

to

the

unit

can

cause

damage.

Handle

it

with

care.

DO

NOT

OPEN

THE

CASE

OR

ATTEMPT

REPAIRS

OR

MODIFICATIONS

YOURSELF

—

This

product

contains

no

user-serviceable

parts.

Refer

all

mainte-

nance

to

qualified

YAMAHA

service

personnel.

Open-

Ming

the

case

and/or

tampering

with

the

internal

cir-

`

cuitry

will

void

the

warranty.

MAKE

SURE

POWER

IS

OFF

BEFORE

MAKING

OR

REMOVING

CONNECTIONS

—

Always

turn

the

power

OFF

prior

to

connecting

or

disconnecting

cables.

This

is

important

to

prevent

damage

to

the

unit

itself

as

well

as

other

connected

equipment.

HANDLE

THE

CABLES

CAREFULLY

—

Always

plug

and

unplug

cables

by

gripping

the

connector,

not

the

cord.

Also

avoid

applying

excessive

force

to

the

cables

or

connectors

during

use.

CLEAN

WITH

A

SOFT

DRY

CLOTH

—

Never

use

sol-

vents

such

as

benzine

or

thinner

to

clean

the

unit.

Wipe

clean

with

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

POWER

SUPPLY

—

The

DS55

must

be

powered

from

either

an

optional

YAMAHA

PA-3

AC

Adapter

(the

AC

input

voltage

of

the

adapter

supplied

depends

on

the

area

in

which

the

equipment

is

sold),

a

YAMAHA

PA-1

or

PA-1B

AC

Adapter,

or

the

specified

dry

batteries.

At-

tempting

to

use

an

AC

adapter

other

than

the

PA-3,

PA-1

or

PA-1B

can

cause

serious

damage

to

the

DSS5.

ELECTRICAL

INTERFERENCE

—

Since

the

DS55

con-

tains

digital

circuitry,

it

may

cause

interference

and

noise

if

placed

too

close

to

TV

sets,

radios

or

similar

equipment.

If

such

a

problem

does

occur,

move

the

DS55

further

away

from

the

affected

equipment.

BACKUP

BATTERY

—

The

DS55

contains

a

long-life

backup

battery

that

retains

the

contents

of

its

RAM

memory

locations

even

when

the

power

is

turned

OFF.

The

backup

battery

will

last

for

approximately

5

years.

When

the

battery

finally

fails,

the

contents

of

the

internal

RAM

memory

will

be

lost.

If

this

happens,

have

the

battery

replaced

by

qualified

YAMAHA

serv-

ice

personnel.

FCC

INFORMATION

While

the

following

statements

are

provided

to

comply

with

FCC

Regulations

in

the

United

States,

the

corrective

measures

listed

below

are

applicable

This

series

of

YAMAHA

professional

music

equipment

uses

frequencies

that

appear

in

the

radio

frequency

range

and

if

installed

in

the

immediate

proximity

of

some

types

of

audio

or

video

devices

(within

three

meters),

interference

may

occur.

This

series

of

YAMAHA

professional

music

equipment

has

been

type

tested

and

found

to

comply

with

the

specifications

set

for

a

class

B

computing

device

in

accordance

with

those

specifications

listed

in

subpart

J

of

part

15

of

the

FCC

rules.

These

rules

are

designed

to

provide

a

reasonable

measure

of

protection

against

such

interference,

However,

this

does

not

guarantee

that

interference

will

not

occur.

If

your

professional

music

equipment

should

be

suspected

of

causing

interference

with

other

electronic

devices,

verification

can

be

made

by

turning

your

professional

music

equipment

off

and

on.

If

the

interference

continues

when

your

equipment

is

off,

the

equipment

is

not

the

source

of

interference.

If

your

equipment

does

appear

to

be

the

source

of

the

interference,

you

should

try

to

correct

the

situation

by

using

one

or

more

of

the

Relocate

either

the

equipment

or

the

electronic

device

that

is

being

affected

by

the

interference.

Utilize

power

outlets

for

the

professional

music

equipment

and

the

device

being

affected

that

are

on

different

branch

(circuit

breaker

or

fuse)

circuits,

or

install

AC

line

filters.

In

the

case

of

radio

or

TV

interference,

relocate

the

antenna

or,

if

the

antenna

lead-in

is

300

ohm

ribbon

lead,

change

the

lead-in

to

a

co-axial

type

cable.

If

these

corrective

measures

do

not

produce

satisfactory

results,

please

contact

your

authorized

YAMAHA

professional

products

dealer

for

suggestions

and/

If

If

you

intend

to

use

(which

makes

the

DS55

very

portable

and

convenient),

six

1.5V

SUM-2,

R-14

or

equivalent

alkaline

batteries

(sold

separately)

must

first

be

installed

in

the

DS55

bat-

compartment.

Open

the

battery

compartment

cover

located

in

the

center

of

the

instrument's

Insert

the

six

batteries,

being

careful

to

follow

the

polarity

markings

(+,

on

the

MIDI

IN,

OUT

&

THRU

Connectors

The

MIDI

IN

connector

receives

MIDI

data

from

an

external

MIDI

device

(such

as

another

MIDI

keyboard

or

a

MIDI

sequencer)

which

can

be

used

to

control

the

DS55.

The

MIDI

THRU

connector

re-

transmits

any

data

received

at

the

MIDI

IN

con-

nector,

allowing

“chaining”

of

several

MIDI

instru-

ments

or

other

devices.

The

MIDI

OUT

connector

transmits

MIDI

data

generated

by

the

DS55

(e.g.

note

and

velocity

data

produced

by

playing

the

DS55

keyboard).

More

details

on
