Precautions

!!

PLEASE

read

this

before

PROCEEDING

!!

1.

AVOID

EXCESSIVE

HEAT,

HUMIDITY,

DUST

AND

VIBRATION

Keep

the

unit

away

from

locations

where

it

is

likely

to

be

•

exposed

to

high

temperatures

or

humidity

—

such

as

near

radiators,

stoves,

etc.

Also

avoid

locations

which

are

subject

to

excessive

dust

accumulation

or

vibration

which

could

cause

mechanical

damage.

2.

AVOID

PHYSICAL

SHOCKS

Strong

physical

shocks

to

the

unit

can

cause

damage.

Handle

it

with

care.

3.

DO

NOT

OPEN

THE

CASE

OR

ATTEMPT

REPAIRS

OR

MODIFICATIONS

YOURSELF

This

product

contains

no

user-serviceable

parts.

Refer

all

maintenance

to

qualified

Yamaha

service

personnel.

Opening

the

case

and/or

tampering

with

the

internal

circuitry

will

void

the

warranty.

4.

MAKE

SURE

POWER

IS

OFF

BEFORE

MAKING

OR

REMOVING

CONNECTIONS

Always

turn

the

power

OFF

prior

to

connecting

or

disconnecting

cables.

5.

HANDLE

CABLES

CAREFULLY

Always

plug

and

unplug

cables

—

including

the

cord

of

the

power

supply

—

by

gripping

the

connector,

not

the

cord.

6.

CLEAN

WITH

A

SOFT

DRY

CLOTH

Never

use

solvents

such

as

benzine

or

thinner

to

clean

the

unit.

Wipe

clean

with

a

soft,

dry

cloth.

7.

ALWAYS

USE

THE

CORRECT

POWER

SUPPLY

Always

use

the

supplied

AC

Adaptor

to

power

your

FX500

or,

if

the

original

adaptor

is

lost

or

broken,

a

replacement

or

equivalent

type

obtained

from

your

Yamaha

dealer.

Also,

make

sure

that

the

adaptor

you

have

is

appropriate

for

the

AC

mains

supply

voltage

in

the

area

where

you

intend

to

use

the

FX500

(the

correct

INPUT

voltage

is

marked

on

the

adaptor).

8.

ELECTRICAL

INTERFERENCE

Since

the

FX500

contains

digital

circuitry,

it

may

cause

interference

and

noise

if

placed

too

close

to

TV

sets,

radios

or

similar

equipment.

If

such

a

problem

does

occur,

move

the

FX500

further

away

from

the

affected

equipment.

9.

MEMORY

BACKUP

The

FX500

contains

a

special

long-life

battery

that

retains

the

contents

of

its

internal

RAM

memory

even

when

the

power

is

turned

OFF.

The

backup

battery

should

last

for

approximately

5

years.

When

the

battery

voltage

drops

to

a

level

that

is

too

low

to

maintain

the

memory

contents,

the

following

message

will

appear

on

the

FX500

display

when

the

power

is

turned

ON:

•

**

WARNING

**

The

FX500:

What

Is

and

What

It

Does

m

Effects

The

FX500

SIMUL-EFFECT

PROCESSOR

is

a

high-

performance

digital

signal

processor

intended

for

use

with

electric

guitars,

electronic

keyboards

or

other

instruments.

It

employs

leading-edge

Yamaha

digital

signal

processing

technology

to

provide

a

"chain"

of

up

to

six

independent

effects

thafcan

be

independently

controlled

to

produce

precisely

the

required

overall

sound.

As

shown

below,

the

FX500

includes

five

effect

(compressor,

distortion,

equalizer,

modulation

and

reverb)

stages.

Stages

can

be

turned

on

or

off

as

required,

and

the

order

of

the

modulation

and

reverb

stages

can

be

reversed.

The

compressor,

distortion

and

equalizer

stages

are

basically

single-function

processors.

The

modulation

and

reverb

stages

each

incorporate

a

number

of

separate

effects

which

can

be

selected

and

used

as

required.

Several

of

the

reverb

effects

actually

combine

both

delay

and

reverb,

effectively

giving

you

a

total

of

six

effects

in

the

chain!

Each

effect

has

a

number

of

parameters

which

can

be

adjusted

to

tailor

its

sound

to

your

specific

musical

needs.

MIDI

Control

For

further

versatility

and

smooth

integration

with

MIDI-

based

music

systems,

the

FX500

offers

broad

MIDI

control

capabilities.

Any

of

its

90

memory

locations

may

be

directly

selected

from

a

remote

MIDI

device

such

as

a

keyboard

or

MIDI

foot

controller

*.

It

is

also

possible

to

directly

control

up

to

two

different

effect

parameters

simultaneously

in

real

time.

This

means

that

two

MIDI

controllers

(a

MODULATION

WHEEL

and

DATA

ENTRY

slider

on

a

keyboard,

for

example)

could

be

used

to

control,

say,

the

modulation

depth

of

the

flanger

effects

and

the

reverb

time

of

a

reverb

effect

in

real

time

as

you

play!

Any

two

MIDI

controllers

can

be

assigned

to

any

two

effect

parameters

(See

Clip

The

DC

output

from

the

supplied

AC

Adaptor

should

be

connected

here.

When

connecting

the

power

supply,

make

sure

that

the

FX500

POWER

switch

is

in

the

OFF

position

(extended).

Plug

the

into

the

jack,

and

finally

the

AC

plug

into

a

convenient

AC

outlet.

The

cable

clip

located

immediately

below

the

DC

12V

helps

to

prevent

accidental

unplugging

of

the

power

supply

during

use.

Wrap

the

DC

cable

firmly

around

the

clip

a

few

centimeters

from

the

plug

end.

CAUTION!

Do

not

attempt

to

use

a

different

AC

adaptor

to

power

the

FX500.

The

use

of

an

incompatible

adaptor

may

cause

irreparable

damage

to

the

FX500,

and

might

pose

a

serious

shock

hazard!

0

INPUT

Jack

This

jack

duplicates

the

function

of

the

front-panel

INPUT

jack

described

in

the

following

section.

It

is

important

to

note,

however,

that

only

one

of

the

INPUT

jacks

can

be

used

at

a

time.

If

plugs

are

inserted

into

both

the

front

and

rear-panel

inputs,

the

front-panel

input

jack

takes

priority.

console

or

other

device

it

is

feeding.

For

compatibility

with

standard

line-level

inputs

the

-10

dB

setting

should

be

appropriate,

while

the

-20

dB

setting

should

be

used

when

the

connected

to

a

high-

input

—

the

input

of

a

amplifier,

for

example.

We

recommend

using

both

and

connecting

them

to

the

corresponding

right

and

left

channels

of

a

stereo

sound

system,

since

the

full

impact

of

many

of

the

can

only

be

appreciated

in
