INTRODUCTION
Yamaha P-200. The P-200 is a high-performance
electronic piano with full-scale, weighted action
keyboard, a selection of high quality piano and other
useful instrument voices, and versatile performance and
other advanced features which make it ideal for
professional stage and studio applications, as well as for
home entertainment and music study use. The P-200’s
main features include:
■ High quality AWM piano
and other sounds
The P-200 features a selection of twelve high quality instrument
voices generated by Yamaha’s patented AWM (Advanced Wave
Memory) sound generation technology. There are several piano
sounds—including a concert grand piano, with full-bodied bass
tones and reverberating high notes, that accurately captures the
natural characteristics of a real grand piano—plus various electric
pianos, vibes, organ combinations, strings and electric and upright
bass. With a maximum simultaneous “polyphonic” note output of
64 notes, the P-200 delivers uncompromising performance
capabilities.
■ Organ combination editing
The P-200 comes equipped with two preset organ voices, plus
organ combination editing features which let you create your own
organ sounds and store them in Performances for instant recall.
The organ combination editing features give you precise control
over flute footages as well as attack settings.
■ Dual and Split voice modes
The P-200’s Dual and Split modes let you play two voices at once,
a “main” voice and a “sub” voice, either by layering the two voices
of your choice (Dual mode) or by assigning a different voice to
each end of the keyboard (Split mode). In Split mode, the key
transposition values can be set independently for both main and
sub voices.
■ One-touch Performance recall
The P-200 features a Performance Play mode that lets you store
up to 24 Performances, or configurations of all voice, MIDI and
other parameter settings, for recall at the touch of a button. This
lets you instantly change your sound and entire setup as you play,
or between songs in a live set. The P-200 is set at the factory with
24 Preset Performances, but you can overwrite them and store
User Performances which you create yourself. The P-200 features
extensive editing and storing capabilities.
■ Master keyboard features
The P-200 offers many of the control features standard in a MIDI
master keyboard, including velocity sensitivity, pitch bend and
modulation wheels, an assignable CS (continuous slider), program
change send and receive capabilities, MIDI transpose and merge
functions, and bulk dumping and multitimbral capabilities. It even
lets you set separate MIDI transmit/receive channels for the main
and sub voices. Plus, the P-200 gives you the option of
connecting a foot controller (FC) that can be assigned MIDI and
other functions in the same manner as the CS. With its powerful
MIDI capabilities, the P-200 can easily serve as at the heart of an
expanded MIDI system.
■ Digital signal processing
The P-200 has a built-in digital signal processor that lets you apply
stereo reverb, chorus, symphonic and tremolo effects to the
voices, and lets you tailor the quality of the voices to suit your
needs with an internal equalizer, as well as a three-band graphic
equalizer on the upper panel.
■ Touch-sensitive keyboard with
velocity scaling
The P-200’s full-range 88-key, weighted action piano keyboard
incorporates Yamaha’s unique Graded Hammer Effect keyboard
technology, which gives it the genuine feel and response of a real
piano keyboard. You can even adjust the keyboard’s sensitivity
level, or velocity scaling, to suit your playing style, for both internal
tone generator and MIDI message transmission.

PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, shortcircuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• 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.
• 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.
• If the power 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 electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may
have accumulated on it.
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:
• Do not place the power 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.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.
• 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.
• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used
for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• 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 near other electrical products such as televisions,
radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper
operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, 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.
• Use only the stand/rack 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.
(1)-2
• Do not place the instrument against a wall (allow at least 3 cm/one-inch from
the wall), since this can cause inadequate air circulation, and possibly result in
the instrument overheating.
• 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.
■REPLACING THE BACKUP BATTERY
• This instrument contains a non rechargeable internal backup battery which
permits internal data to remain stored even when the power is off. When the
backup battery needs replacing, the message "ERROR1 REPLACE BATTERY"
will display in the LCD screen. When this happens, immediately back up your
data (using an external device such as the floppy disk-based Yamaha MIDI
Data Filer MDF3), then have qualified Yamaha service personnel replace the
backup battery.
• Do not attempt to replace the backup battery yourself, in order to prevent the
possible serious hazards. Always have qualified Yamaha service personnel
replace the backup battery.
• Never place the backup battery in a location that a child can reach, since a child
might accidentally swallow the battery. If this should happen, consult a physician
immediately.
■SAVING USER DATA
• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3,
in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user
operating error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or
modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

REAR PANEL
This switch lets you turn off the P-200’s internal speakers. It does
not affect the output from the [OUTPUT] jacks or the [PHONES]
jack.
" [INPUT] jacks
These jacks let you input line-level signals from another electronic
instrument, such as a rhythm programmer, external tone
generator, or synthesizer, and monitor it through the P-200’s
internal speakers. Use the [L/MONO] jack when connecting only a
single line.
# [OUTPUT] jacks
These jacks output line-level signals which can be input directly to
an external amplifier, mixer or other audio device. Use the
[L/MONO] jack if your audio equipment has only one input.
$ Pedal jacks
These jacks let you connect up to three foot pedals and use them
as sustain, sostenuto and soft pedals. A single FC4 footswitch is
included with your P-200. If you wish to attach additional foot
pedals, be sure to use only Yamaha models FC4 or FC5.
% [FOOT CONTROLLER] jack
This jack lets you connect a foot controller (Yamaha FC7, available
separately) for use as an auxiliary controller. The [FC] foot
controller can be assigned to control a variety of functions,
including reverb depth or modulation speed, which lets you
change these parameters by foot as you play.
& [MIDI] terminals
These terminals allow the P-200 to communicate with other MIDI
devices, using standard MIDI cables. To control the P-200 using a
sequencer or another keyboard, connect the MIDI out jack of the
external device to the [MIDI IN] jack of the P-200. To control
another device (such as a synthesizer or tone generator) using the
P-200, connect the [MIDI OUT] jack of the P-200 to the MIDI in
jack of the external device. The [MIDI THRU] jack simply passes
the data received at the P-200’s [MIDI IN] jack through unaffected,
and is used when connecting three or more MIDI devices in a
series.

■Voice Play and Performance Play Modes
P-200 OVERVIEW
The Yamaha P-200 is a versatile electronic piano with very high fidelity piano and other sounds and the
genuine touch and response of a real piano.
In its simplest form of use, all you really need to do is switch it on and start playing! However, this is just barely
scratching the surface, since the P-200 has powerful performance and MIDI master keyboard capabilities.
Below is an overview of the basic operating modes and the system structure of the P-200, with explanations of
how the various features relate to each other during practical use of the instrument.

PARAMETERS

PERFORMANCE
PARAMETERS
The P-200 has two basic Play modes, Voice Play mode and Performance Play
mode. Within each mode are various Voice and Performance parameters, or settings
that you can change, which make up the sound of the selected voice and the
specific operating status of the P-200.
A group of overall System settings apply to both Voice Play and Performance Play
modes, and Edit mode lets you access and edit a wide variety of System and other
functions, as shown in the following illustration.
As the above illustration shows, the primary difference between Voice Play mode and
Performance Play mode is:
■ In Voice Play mode, a single set of Performance parameter settings apply to any
voice (and its specified Voice parameter settings) which you select.
■ In Performance Play mode, a complete set of Performance parameters can be
configured specifically for any particular voice (and its specified Voice parameter
settings). The P-200 can store up to 24 Performances for instant recall.
Normally you will operate in Voice Play mode, Auto Store status (See “About Store
Type”, next page)—as you select sounds and make parameter assignments as
dictated by your current music session. Then you can store those settings to any of
the 24 Performances, which you can then access at any time by the press of a
[PERFORMANCE SELECT] button in Performance Play mode. (You can also perform
bulk dump operations of Performance data to and from an external MIDI device such
as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer.)
