Yamaha Black Boxes
online archive

These are the second most powerful tools for making music. The first is your ear. That’s the catchphrase of a Yamaha advertisement for their comprehensive line of synthesizers, sequencers and drum machines as seen on Keyboard Magazine in 1985.

Close to 40 years have passed since that day, and while the legacy of FM synthesis still lives inside contemporary soft synths, boutique synthesizers and full blown workstations, the design language that Yamaha adopted with the first DX7 slowly faded away during the 1990s.

This website attempts to give credit to the extraordinary work of consistency the Design Laboratory kept back then: black boxes, DX green, small LCDs and outstanding build quality.

Manuals



Due to the rareness of some of the original manuals and the poor quality of the PDFs found online, in 2020 I started redrawing and reprinting some of them.

The manuals sold here aren't photocopies but full 1:1 remakes: everything has been copied and redrawn by hand: same paper sizes, stocks, same quality of the originals at a lower price.

If you'd like to request a particular reprint don't hesitate to ask by sending me an email.

Available manuals

Yamaha DX7 Owner's Manual + Performance Notes€ 24.99
Yamaha DX9 Owner's Manual + Performance Notes€ 24.99

An unknown amount of Yamaha supplemental booklets were available at Yamaha dealers during the 1980s, containing in-depth information complementing what was available on official manuals. A complete selection of booklets for the Yamaha DX7 II is available from the DX7s, DX7II-D and DX7II-FD pages, a QX3 one has been found as well. Please get in touch if you happen to have more related material.
