Yamaha YDP-88 Selecting & Playing Voices

ZTurn Power On After making sure that the YDP-88’s AC plug is properly inserted into a con-

venient AC wall outlet, press the [POWER] switch located to the left of the

keyboard to turn the power ON. (In some areas a plug adaptor may be provided

to match the pin configuration of the AC wall outlets in your area.)

When the power is turned ON, the [PIANO] voice selector LED will light

(the PIANO voice is automatically selected whenever the power is turned ON).

Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] control about half way between the

“MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start playing, re-adjust the [MAS-

TER VOLUME] control for the most comfortable listening level.

Select the desired voice by pressing one of the voice selectors.

The YDP-88 offers keyboard touch response, so the volume and timbre of

notes played can be controlled according to how “hard” you play the keys. The

amount of variation available depends on the selected voice.
