All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha DX200

Groovebox three tracks of rhythm and an FM synth, sequencer not til 16, a multi-effects, two tuning parameter of the synthesis by patern with the posibility of morphing to go from a 4-track and other al movement button up til 8 measures.

UTILIZATION

To abort the first day I find the composition a bit dificult paterns with many using the shift button, but the second utlisaion j ca finally have found very ergonomic and rapide.Les synth parameter in almost all its frontage and for the effect , is a sub menu arboressance very simple, and just have the small display. The manual and clear and cool, it's like to follow a tutorial, the coup was the end all we know of the beast.

SOUNDS

The FM is great!! At any point and the sound of bass note ryhtmique are pretty good but very little effect editables.Les are quality.
J have been perfect because of a synth

OVERALL OPINION

J had to explore the not more than four hours, that is enough to understand how it works. But it will take me much longer to master the FM, cons quickly found by fiddling of sound has its taste.
J also have an EA1 and KSrack that are not really comparable to the DX200.

J adore:
The ITS FM
the posibility of editing notes with potentiometers
the extent of editing of the FM once we managed (after of heavy tests) has DX200editor install under win XP.

J not like:
nothing
be little minimalism of the rhythm section but little not have everything.

Very good value for money second hand.
J as well buy another to replace in case ....

I do not insult you would draw up the CHARACTERISTICS that you can find in any catalog.

What you should know is that it contains the PL map 150DX which is be the same as for the extension XG cards.

It is above all an expander. The part contains a sequencer track and 3 track Wave FM table to make accompaniments.

The finish is impccable. It has a MIDI implmentation complte and can drive by 4 DIFFERENT MIDI channels (one per party).

There is only one version (1.00) proves that this machine is a product of high reliability.

UTILIZATION

Play with the machine ncessite a snap. But within two days, we can have fun with allgrement.

Be aware that software is provided and can edit and do sound research. on the other hand prvoyez to update this software does not work with XP. Simply install the CD XGworks lite 3.0, lite 3.07 and Tlcharger XGworks to overwrite the old one.

Sound research is quite difficult. But this is not the machine that is at stake is rather the PROCD of synthse FM (matrise modulation and carrier).

Returning the actual use of the machine, the DX200 possde small advantages that some sequencers Concur (like electribe) did not. For example, mute conservsmme are moving from one pattern to another, the machine possde filters (MIDI control in / out) etc.

TRS is a good machine is very well thought ergnomiquement speaking.
The only unfortunate thing is that it does possde a single measure. Fortunately, the sound, as it can evolve thanks to the measures on 8 Free EG.

SOUNDS

The sound quality of FM are indisputably. In addition, there is a morphing effect that can drag a sound gradually for other effects indict.

There are a number gnrateur noise type (white pink etc..) Effect of a bank of good quality trs. For example, a VCF, you have the attack, the cutoff and Q. It's pretty rare in this kind of groove machine.

The Sonnora of this machine is irrprochable. In addition all the elments synthse combined the subtractive synthse FM (in ADSR envelope and filter, LFO).
on the other hand, be careful, because the sound power filters are powerful. It is better to have too much than not enough ...

OVERALL OPINION

I got my fifth year of use. I am not reached the end of this machine. For me the best quality price you can find.

It is a pity that this machine was not the success it MRIT.

If you find a machine to make Designing sound, go for it!
Do not stay on the basic patterns. It would be under-played.
Remember also that if the sound is no longer appropriate, you can always use it as a MIDI controller saw the many buttons and MIDI implmentation complte

As previously stated characteristics are easily on the net, but basically a groovestation c, a mix between a synth and a BAR (drum machine).
256 factory presets, 128 user (why not the other way around? Is frankly bad, finally, especially for those who use it as a groovebox).

UTILIZATION

Almost easy to take control of (physical), but according to FM synthesis, we must cling. This is mainly why I bought it to have a real FM synth with more options, basically an FM synth halfway between the DX7 and FM7 or DX7 <DX200 <FM7.
The drum machine is a plus that is a little gadget but not be using (for proof, I use a factory preset, which I retrafiqué a little synth sound).
The manual is quite clear regarding the use, after it has you to understand the craft, especially in synthesis.

SOUNDS

Aaaaah FM. When I read the previous opinion, it's nice to see the experts who have purchased above the base because it's a synth. As I said above (and as we read in other reviews) is a DX7 a lot further. Deja was a kind of distortion with a choice of tube, stack, combo etc. ..... with a mini 2-band eq I think. Cradifier already, it's nice;
behind it was yet another effect to the choice of flange, delay, reverb, chorus, and distortion rather re-violent lol. 2 knobs to adjust the effects, a little chick, but the effects are mainly used to enrich the sound, and in addition they are not bad, so why deprive yourself?
What I also like this synth (yes I consider it as a synth), it actually has the appearance of both subtractive synthesis with envelopes, filters, etc. ...... and appearance groovebox- turning the knob, and I transformed the sound, because yes, any increment button changes the sound dramatically.
This is also why I bought it (the experimental magnet, we can not find a better deal, or so).
Do not trust the factory presets. Knowing that entering the yahoo group, you can rechoper of the DX7 sysex already formatted for the DX200, am I not know how many sounds (usually 32000 but since there are duplicates .......... ..............).

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I use it, I love it too. There is nothing to take, if not loading / sending sound of the beast is a long. 1min30 rely almost!! But hey, sounds catches. I even let a friend play with that recorded during an improv, he has managed to make me one of his musical saw by turning the knobs, and I could not save. All that to say that it is a synthetic full of surprises.
I bought it for sounds cheap/80 's experimental and knowing that FM synthesis since the 80 has remained in its infancy. As soon as I can, I buy a fs1r, I sign a Efferalgan a life, I buy a wig for the hair I tear myself (remember, 8 fm synthesis operators combined with formants, with 3000 parameters of sound and a pokey rack with 4 buttons for any edition)

That says it all, shame is that neither party 4
otherwise the rest is easy ergonnomique c, ca accessible makes you want to make music which

UTILIZATION

Ultra easy, manual is clear ras e

SOUNDS

Then the sounds are beautiful puissannt fm and hot little flat for three shares which are rhythmic medium but at the same tps this machine is not made for n a and more for posseceur plug ... you just have used these parties noon and route them to a plug type 53 pro pr get good bass

OVERALL OPINION

D utlisation 1 month and I'm good machine fills trs, trs intuitive sequencer .. trs a good machine for live

Synth FM format groovebox drum sounds with electro and all typs drive.
Sounds are ditable with a utility that I have not since I bought the 200 used dx. But I do not miss the grind because I prfre live.
There are no extensions but against the card includes PLG150DX can be used for other products from Yamaha. As against this would be a shame dmolir a DX 200 rcuprer just for this card ...
Level connectivity is a bit limited: there is a stro out and that's it. 3 for a drum and synth was short.
Ct twelve o'clock is not better because there is no real thru then to a MIDI chain is not practical. At the limit we can overcome this problem with a patch noon if you have several instruments that have this small but it is a default investment supplmentaire.
Otherwise it has all you need: multimode filter, squenceur (a bit short in terms of number of steps) of memory scne and full of opportunity to play live with the gate, lfo , implementation, roll, reverse, beat, swing, adsr ...

UTILIZATION

Simple never does the word but the Yamaha was going when even.
I bought it for the synth and trs s'avre drawing program. I rarely open the manual and I'll have to do to further 2 or 3 points that I leave on hold for too long. Especially since the manual is not bad for once.
I wanted the synth and finally the BAR is also INTERESTED.

SOUNDS

I love the sound of this machine and the sounds are varied. There is always something to draw: a synth, a rhythm ...
For against the rhythm is too little to change in terms of sound.
The multi effect is not ridiculous and I have the time limit.
Filters are great and powerful trs. There are ways to make bass and sub standard really. It sounds like nothing else. It's not all the same stamps that my or my Sunsyn north rack.
It gives me a really nice little boiboite with its own well cool. 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 2 or 3 years.
I do not like the limited possibilities to change the sounds of BAR or the lack of spares outlets. Should I record track by track and it was heavy but at least you can work the EQ each shot.
What I like most: his unique, powerful filter, and the price lightweight. Pay when act 180 of 200 silent AF: report quality price is extra. I and I keep it. Today I see it is about 250, has always worth.
Advertised and sold 6000 bales when it was released c'tait too expensive. still has a small machine with all of the same 6000 default so balls c'tait abuse by Yamaha.
I do it again of course this choice. I hsit with sh32 and AN200. It diffrent machines, you see sound as you wish.
I had taken an era o j'cout lot of dub and d'n'b, something he is very well capable of doing. Today I made the electro and techno with his pass and trs too. -> The machine is versatile! Go for it
