IMPORTANT
Check your power supply
Make sure that your local AC mains voltage matches the voltage specified
on the name plate on the bottom panel. In some areas a voltage selector
may be provided on the bottom panel of the main keyboard unit near the
power cord. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the voltage in
your area. The voltage selector is set at 240V when the unit is initially
shipped. To change the setting use a "minus" screwdriver to rotate the
selector dial so that the correct voltage appears next to the pointer on the
panel.
WICHTIG
Überprüfung der Stromversorgung
Vergewissern Sie sich vor dem Anschließen an das Stromnetz, daß die
örtliche Netzspannung den Betriebsspannungswerten auf dem Typenschild
an der Unterseite des Instruments entspricht. In bestimmten
Verkaufsgebieten ist das Instrument mit einem Spannungswähler an der
Unterseite neben der Netzkabeldurchführung ausgestattet. Falls vorhanden,
muß der Spannungswähler auf die örtliche Netzspannung eingestellt
werden. Der Spannungswähler wurde werkseitig auf 240 V voreingestellt.
Zum Verstellen drehen Sie den Spannungsregler mit einem
Schlitzschraubendreher, bis der Zeiger auf den korrekten Spannungswert
weist.
IMPORTANT
Contrôler la source d'alimentation
Vérifiez que la tension spécifiée sur le panneau inférieur correspond à la
tension du secteur. Dans certaines régions, l'instrument peut être équipé
d'un sélecteur de tension situé sur le panneau inférieur du clavier à
proximité du cordon d'alimentation.
Vérifiez que ce selécteur est bien réglé en fonction de la tension secteur de
votre région. Le sélecteur de tension est réglé sur 240 V au départ d'usine.
Pour modifier ce réglage, utilisez un tournevis à lame plate pour tourner le
sélecteur afin de mettre l'indication correspondant à la tension de votre
région vis à vis du repère triangulaire situé sur le panneau.
IMPORTANTE
Verifique la alimentación de corriente
Asegúrese de que tensión de alimentación de CA de su área corresponde
con la tensión especificada en la placa de características del panel inferior.
En algunas zonas puede haberse incorporado un selector de tensión en el
panel inferior de la unidad del teclado principal, cerca del cable de
alimentación. Asegúrese de que el selector de tensión esté ajustado a la
tensión de su área. El selector de tensión se ajusta a 240V cuando la unidad
sale de fábrica. Para cambiar el ajuste, emplee un destornillador de cabeza
"recta" para girar el selector de modo que aparezca la tensión correcta al
lado del indicador del panel.

TERMINOLOGY
Voice:
On the YDP-223, a voice means
a “tone” or “tonal color.”
TIP
You can control the loudness of
a voice by adjusting the force
with which you strike the keys,
although different playing styles
(touch sensitivities) have little or
no effect with certain musical
instruments.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 56.
ENGLISH
The YDP-223 has three foot pedals that produce a range
of expressive effects similar to those produced by the
pedals on an acoustic piano.
Damper (Right) Pedal
The damper pedal functions in the same way as a
damper pedal on an acoustic piano. When the damper
pedal is pressed, notes sustain longer. Releasing the pedal
immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes.
When you press the damper
pedal here, the notes you
play before you release the
pedal have a longer sustain.
YDP-223
NOTE
If the damper pedal doesn’t
work, make sure that the pedal
cord is properly plugged into the
main unit (page 54).
Selecting & Playing Voices
21
Page 22
Sostenuto (Center) Pedal
If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the
sostenuto pedal while the note(s) are held, those notes
will sustain as long as you hold the pedal (as if the
damper pedal had been pressed) but all subsequently
played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible
to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are
played “staccato.”
When you press the sostenuto pedal here while holding
the note, the note will sustain
as long as you hold the pedal.
Organ, string and choir voices
will continue to sound for as
long as the sostenuto pedal is
depressed.
TIP
Soft (Left) Pedal
The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while
the pedal is pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it
is pressed.
The left pedal can be assigned
to song start/stop operation via
the “Left Pedal Mode” described
on page 40.

Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]
The YDP-223’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or
down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difficult key signatures, and to let you easily
match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you
set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a
song as though it were in C major, and the YDP-223 will transpose it to the key of F.

Recording Your Performance
The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the YDP-223
keyboard can be an effective practice aid. You can, for example, record just
the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand part while playing back
the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two tracks separately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record
both parts of a duet and hear how they sound when played back. The YDP223’s two-track Song Recorder allows the recording of one User Song.
ENGLISH
TIP
You can record your performance (audio data) to a cassette tape recorder or other
recording device via the AUX
OUT connector (page 46).
TERMINOLOGY
Recording vs. Saving:
The format of performance data
recorded on a cassette tape differs from that of data recorded on
the YDP-223. A cassette tape
records audio signals. The YDP223 “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a
tempo value, but not audio signals. When you play back
recorded songs, the YDP-223
produces sound based on the
saved information. Therefore,
recording on the YDP-223 may
be more accurately called “saving information.” However, this
book often uses the word
“recording” because it seems to
make more sense.

F2. Selecting a Scale
You can select various scales.
Equal Temperament is the most common contemporary piano tuning scale. However, history has known numerous other scales, many
of which serve as the basis for certain genres of
music. You can experience these tunings with
the YDP-223.
1. Engage Function mode and select .
2. Press the [+/YES] button to engage the scale
function’s sub-mode, then use the [TEMPO/
FUNCTION# ▼, ▲] buttons to select the
desired sub-mode.
Press the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select
the number of the desired tuning.
Sub-mode
Equal
One octave is divided into twelve equal intervals. Currently the most popular piano tuning scale.
PureMajor/PureMinor
Based on natural overtones, three major chords using
ENGLISH
these scales produce a beautiful, pure sound. They are
sometimes used for chorus parts.
Pythagorean
This scale, designed by Pythagoras, a Greek philosopher,
is based on the interval of a perfect 5th.
The 3rd produces swells, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.
MeanTone
This scale is an improvement of the Pythagorean in that
the swell of the 3rd has been eliminated. The scale
became popular during the late 16th century through the
late 18th century, and was used by Handel.
WerckMeister/KirnBerger
These scales combine Mean Tone and Pythagorean in
different ways. With these scales, modulation changes the
impression and feel of the songs. They were often used in
the era of Bach and Beethoven. They are often used today
to reproduce the music of that era on harpsichords.

Setting range:1: Equal Temperament
2: Pure Major
3: Pure Minor
4: Pythagorean
5: Mean Tone

MIDI Transmit Channel Selection
In any MIDI control setup, the MIDI channels of the
transmitting and receiving equipment must be matched
for proper data transfer.
This parameter enables you to specify the channel on
which the YDP-223 transmits MIDI data.
Setting range: 1 – 16, OFF (not transmitted)
Normal setting: 1
NOTE
In Dual mode, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its specified
channel. Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative to the specified channel. No data is transmitted if the transmit channel is set to “OFF”.
NOTE
Demo/preset song data and recorder playback data are not
transmitted via MIDI.
NOTE
No MIDI reception occurs when Demo/Preset Song mode is
engaged.
Local Control ON/OFF
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the
YDP-223 keyboard controls its internal tone generator,
allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the
keyboard. This situation is “Local Control On,” since the
internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own
keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the
YDP-223 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but
the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via
the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the
keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator
responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN
connector.
Setting range: ON/OFF
Normal setting: ON

MIDI Transmit Transpose
Normally the YDP-223 will respond to MIDI program
change numbers received from an external keyboard or
other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel
(the keyboard voice does not change). The YDP-223 will
normally also send a MIDI program change number
whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the correspondingly-numbered voice or program to be selected
on the external MIDI device if the device is set up to
receive and respond to MIDI program change numbers.
This function makes it possible to cancel program
change number reception and transmission so that
voices can be selected on the YDP-223 without affecting
the external MIDI device.
ENGLISH
Setting range: ON/OFF
Normal setting: ON
Normally the YDP-223 will respond to MIDI control
change data received from an external MIDI device or
keyboard, causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be affected by pedal and other “control” settings
received from the controlling device (the keyboard voice
is not affected).
The YDP-223 also transmits MIDI control change information when the pedal or other appropriate controls are
operated.
This function makes it possible to cancel control change
data reception and transmission so that, for example, the
YDP-223’s pedal and other controls can be operated
without affecting an external MIDI device.

Panel/Status Transmit
This function causes all the current YDP-223 panel settings (selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI
OUT terminal. This is particularly useful if you will be
recording performances to a MIDI sequence recorder,
such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, which will
be used to control the YDP-223 on playback. By transmitting the YDP-223 panel settings and recording them
on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to the actual performance data, the YDP-223 will be automatically
restored to the same settings when the performance is
played back.

Do not route the output from the AUX OUT jacks to the AUX IN jacks. That is, when
you connect an external audio device to the AUX OUT jacks, do not connect the audio
device to the YDP-223’s AUX IN jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at
the AUX IN jacks will be output from AUX OUT. This creates an audio loop, causing
audio oscillation and abnormal playback, and leading to malfunction of both pieces of
equipment.
When the YDP-223’s AUX OUT jacks are connected to an external audio system, first
turn on the power to the YDP-223, then to the external audio system. Reverse this

Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Perfect
for classical compositions as well as any other style that
requires acoustic piano.
Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.
An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good
for popular music.
The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic
“tines”. Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive
tone when played hard.
The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses plucked strings, there is no touch response.
There is, however, a characteristic additional sound when
the keys are released.
Mixes the same voice an octave higher for a more brilliant
tone.
Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone
becomes more metallic the harder you play.
This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet).
Good for sacred music from the Baroque period.
This is the organ's full coupler sound often associated with
Beach’s “Toccata and Fugue”.
The sound of a “tonewheel” type electric organ. Often heard
in jazz and rock idioms.
Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic
reverb. Try combining this voice with piano in the DUAL
mode.
Spacious strings ensemble with a slow attack. Try combining
this voice with a piano or electric piano in the DUAL mode.
A big, spacious choir voice. Perfect for creating rich harmonies in slow pieces.
Warm and natural-sounding nylon guitar. Enjoy the quiet
ambience of nylon strings.
