PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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, 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, PA-3C 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.

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 Battery

• 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.

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual

• 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.

Setting Up

• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low, possibly resulting in loss of data in the ﬂash memory.

• Make 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 is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage from the battery.

• 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.

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.

Using an AC Power Adaptor



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

WARNING

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D or PA-3C 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, PA-3C or other

adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

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





PA-5D or

PA-3C

AC outlet

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, the battery exchange indication ﬂashes in the display. As soon as this message appears, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see page 42), since custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed.

CAUTION

■ 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.

DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 Owner’s Manual

Page 11

Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, a small amount of electricity is still being consumed by the instrument. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

•Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the ﬂash memory and result in a loss of data.

Setting Up

Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT jack)

The DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293 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.

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.

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 to a computer (USB terminal)

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 66). To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do the following:

• Connect the USB terminal of the computer to the USB terminal on the instrument using a standard USB cable.

• Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer.

Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on page 71. With this capability you can, for example, use the Musicsoft Downloader software provided on the supplied CD-ROM to transfer songs from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash memory.

NOTE

• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

Turn on the power

Connecting a footswitch (SUSTAIN JACK)

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing an optional 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 SUSTAIN 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.

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again turns the power off.

Backup data in the ﬂash memory (page 42) is loaded to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no backup data exists on ﬂash memory, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is turned on.

The Easy Way To Play Piano

Quick Guide

This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you might be making lots of mistakes)! In fact, you can play any notes and still sound good! So even if you can’t play piano and can’t read a note of music, you can have some musical fun.

The secret to the performance assistant technology’s ability to turn random playing into music is divulged on page 16. Enjoy the feature for a while ﬁrst, then read about how its done.

Play With Both Hands

To use the performance assistant technology you must be playing a song that includes chord data.

Press the [SONG] button.

The song number and name will be displayed. You can use the dial or other selection controls to select a different song.

NOTE

•For details on Chords, see pages 53, 54.

Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn the function on or off.

Press the [START/STOP] button.

Icon will appear when performance assistant technology is on.

Song playback will begin. Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the overall volume.

Play on the keyboard.

To begin, try to feel the rhythm of the song. Then, with your hands spread as shown in the illustration, simply play the keyboard alternately with your left and right hands (any notes will do).

Sounds like you’re playing the right notes!

Adjust volume

You will get even better results if you match your left-hand rhythm to the rhythm of the chord indicator in the display.

How does it sound? You’ll get acceptable results no matter where you play thanks to performance assistant technology!

Next try the three playing methods illustrated below. Different ways of playing produce different results.

● Play with the left and right hands at the same timing – type 1.

Play 3 notes at once with your right hand.

● Play with the left and right hands at the same timing – type 2.

Play 1 note at a time with your right hand (for example: index ﬁnger middle ﬁnger

→

ring ﬁnger).

→

● Play alternately with the left and right hands – type 3.

Once you get a feel for it, try playing chords with your left hand and a melody with your right … or any other combination.

Song playback will stop automatically when the song has played all the way through. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button. When you want to end performance assistant technology operation press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button.

— The Secret Of performance assistant technology —

How It Creates Music From Random Notes

Performance assistant technology reads the chord data from the song and only assigns notes that will “work” at that moment to the keyboard. Since the chords of a song are constantly changing, different notes and chords will be produced even if you repeatedly play the same keys.

Song

• Melody data

• Chord data

• Rhythm data

Playback

performance assistant

technology

Chord tones and other usable notes are assigned to the keyboard.

You produce a harmonious group of notes no matter where you play.

● Songs That Can Be Used With the performance assistant technology

Performance assistant technology can only be used with songs that include chord data. Preset Songs can be used with performance assistant technology since the songs include chord data.

● External Songs and the performance assistant technology

In addition to the instrument’s internal songs, the 70 songs provided on the Accessory CD-ROM (page 70) can be used with performance assistant technology. A list of the MIDI songs included on the Accessory CD-ROM is provided on page 85. Songs downloaded from the Internet can also be used with performance assistant technology as long as they include the required chord data. Transfer song ﬁles you want to use from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash memory (page 68).

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.

You can select any song you like and use it for a left-hand, right-hand, or both-hands lesson. You can also use songs (only SMF format 0) downloaded from the Internet and saved to ﬂash memory. During the lesson you can play as slowly as you like, and you can even play wrong notes. Song playback will slow down to a speed you can handle. It’s never too late to start learning!

The lesson procedure is as follows:

Select the song you want to learn. (Refer to the category list on page 31)

Select the part you want to work on

(right hand, left hand, both hands)

Select lesson 1, 2, or 3. (Refer to step 3 on page 33)

● Lesson 1 ...........(Learn to play the correct notes): The song will wait until you play the right note.

● Lesson 2 ...........(Learn to play the correct notes with the correct timing): Song playback tempo will vary to match the speed

you are playing at. The song will slow down when you play wrong notes, so you can learn at your own pace.

● Lesson 3 ...........(Learn to play the correct notes at the correct timing along with the song): here’s where you can perfect your

technique.

Only songs in SMF Format 0 can be used for practice. You need to specify which channels are to be played back as the right/left-hand parts when you practice using songs downloaded from the Internet (page 69).

MELODY R is the melody part played by the right hand, and MELODY L is the melody part played by the left hand.

Reference Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Root

Root note Chord type

■ 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).

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)

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.

Major chord Minor chord Augmented chord Diminished chord

CM Cm Caug C dim

Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd

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.

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 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

ator. 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) Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong)

how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

● Acoustic guitar note production

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 perfor-

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

● Channel Messages

Playing the keyboard

This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI channels simultaneously – meaning it can play up to sixteen

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 key-

board. 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 gener-

● System Messages

Appendix

Troubleshooting

For the DGX-205/203, PSR-295/293

Problem

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound.

• 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 style or song does not play back when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed.

The style does not sound properly.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 112 or a style between 124 and 135 (Pianist).

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off.

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 sound of the voice changes from note to note.

The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played.

The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

There is no harmony sound.

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

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.

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 66.)

When using the Dictionary function (page 55), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on page 66.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 63) 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 51). 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.

This is not a malfunction. Style number 112 and style numbers 124 – 135 (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.

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 polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

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.

Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.

Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button ﬁrst when you are going to use any style-related function.

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 accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the righthand 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.

Troubleshooting

■ For the included software

The driver cannot be installed.

• Is the USB cable connected correctly?

Check the USB cable connection. Disconnect the USB cable, then connect it again.

• Is the USB function enabled on your computer?

When you connect the instrument to the computer for the ﬁrst time, if the “Add New Hardware Wizard” does not appear, the USB function on the computer may be disabled. Perform the following steps.

1 Select [Control Panel] ➔ [System] ➔ [Device Manager]

(for Windows 98/Me), or select [Control Panel]* ➔ [System] ➔ [Hardware] ➔ [Device Manager] (for Windows 2000/XP).

* Classic View only in Windows XP.

2 Make sure that no “!” or “x” marks appear at “Universal

serial bus controller” or “USB Root Hub.” If you see an “!” or “x” mark, the USB controller is disabled.

• Is any unknown device registered?

If driver installation fails, the instrument will be marked as an “Unknown device,” and you will not be able to install the driver. Delete the “Unknown device” by following the steps below.

Playback response is delayed.

• Does your computer satisfy the system requirements?

• Is any other application or device driver running?

Cannot suspend or resume the computer correctly.

• Do not suspend the computer while the MIDI application is running.

If you are using Windows 2000, you may not be able to suspend/resume normally, depending on the particular environment (USB Host Controller, etc.). Even so, simply disconnecting and connecting the USB cable will allow you to use the instrument functions again.

1 Select [Control Panel] ➔ [System] ➔ [Device Manager]

(for Windows 98/Me), or select [Control Panel]* ➔ [System] ➔ [Hardware] ➔ [Device Manager] (for Windows 2000/XP).

* Classic View only in Windows XP.

2 Look for “Other devices” in the menu “View devices by

type.”

3 If you ﬁnd “Other devices,” double-click it to extend the

tree to look for “Unknown device.” If one appears, select it and click the [Remove] button.

4 Remove the USB cable from the instrument, and make

the connection again.

5 Install the driver again.

Voice List

■ 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).

Drum Kit List

•“ ” 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 “115: 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 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.

Types 6 – 26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the

auto accompaniment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo setting (page 17). 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 = six-

teenth-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.
