Precautions concerning the microphone and microphone holder
Avoid leaning or putting any weight on the microphone holder. Doing so may damage the holder and the connected microphone. When removing the microphone, pull it out of the handle toward you (as shown).
NOTE The microphone is equipped with an on/off switch. Make sure to leave it off when not in use. If you insert the microphone with the switch side sliding past the handle, the switch may inadvertently be turned on. Put the microphone in the holder so that the switch slides into the space of the holder clasp (as shown).
Do not pull on the microphone cable, or put anything on the microphone when it is connected. Do not put any other microphones or anything other than the included microphone in the microphone holder. Do not stand the instrument on its microphone holder side.
NOTE If feedback occurs when using the microphone, turn down the [MICVOLUME]. Avoid placing the microphone in close proximity to the speakers, especially with the microphone facing the speaker. This can cause feedback. Feedback occurs when a microphone picks up the sound of a speaker, which is then amplied and sent back to the speaker, creating an endless loop of high-pitched noise.
Do not force the microphone when installing and do not shake it or subject it to sudden, violent movement.
Do not swing the microphone by the microphone cable. In addition to being dangerous to anyone near you, it can also damage the cable and cut off the circuit.
Make sure to take the microphone out of its holder when you carry the instrument. Also, when putting the instrument in a soft case, make sure to take off the microphone holder.
Do not lift the instrument by grabbing the microphone and its holder.
Make all necessary connections below before turning the power on.
Connecting headphones (PHONES jack)
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
Headphones are connected to the PHONES jack. Connecting headphones to the jack automatically cuts off the sound coming through the internal speakers. The PHONES jack also can be used as a auxiliary stereo output (with a standard stereo phone plug). By connecting this to the input of a keyboard amplier, mixing console or tape recorder, you can play the sound and record your performance through the external equipment.

For details, see page 21.

When you wish to select and play

Displaying Lyrics

For song data containing lyrics data (XF format or SMF songs containing lyric data), you can have the lyrics shown in the display during song playback by pressing the [KARAOKE] button. If the song le contains chord data, the chords can also be shown. If there is no language setting in the song data, the language (Japanese or English) of the displayed lyrics will match that of the Language setting in the FUNCTION display (page 79). If you play back a song containing Japanese lyrics when the display setting is set to English, ghost letters will be created.
Displaying Notation (sheet music)
During song playback, you can have the music notation shown in the display by Melody notation pressing the [SCORE] button. There are two types of music sheet display; melody notation and the piano-style notation, and you can toggle between the two types by the pressing the [SCORE] button. If the song le includes chord and lyrics data, both the chord and lyrics are displayed (when using the melody notation). For song les on SmartMedia card song (106 999)(SMF, Format 0/1), only the Piano-style notation tracks which are assigned to the right-hand part (R-part) and the left-hand part (Lpart) in the FUNCTION display (page 79), are shown as notation in the display. Notation cannot be displayed for the User songs (101 105). However, if you convert the songs to Standard MIDI File format and store them to SmartMedia card (page 64), the notation can be displayed. If the notation in the display becomes difcult to read because of too many notes and rests, you may be able to clean up the notation from the Quantize page in the FUNCTION display. (See page 79.) If the song lyrics contain a lot of words in a few measures, some of the words may be omitted in the display. If you want to make sure to be able to see all the lyrics, use the Karaoke display (press the [KARAOKE] button). The displayed music notation is created based on the song data. For this reason, the notation of songs with complicated parts or data containing many notes of short duration may not appear the same as commercially available transcriptions. For example:

Since all song data is lost when turning off the power, make sure to save the edited song data to a SmartMedia card (page 63) after clearing a track.
SmartMedia card le operations
This section describes how to save, load and delete SmartMedia card data, as well as format SmartMedia cards for use with the instrument.
Make sure to insert an appropriate SmartMedia card in the card slot BEFORE you turn on the power. Never insert or pull out the SmartMedia card while the power is turned on. Doing so may damage the les in the SmartMedia card or data in the internal memory.
About the SmartMedia card file operations
Call up the le operations and the FILE CONTROL display by pressing the [FILE CONTROL] panel button. Turning the power on automatically mounts the SmartMedia card. We recommend that you always have a SmartMedia card ready for backing up important data. When the SmartMedia card is mounted, the le control icon in the MAIN display lights and the FILE CONTROL display can be called up. When the FILE CONTROL display is active, all panel controls unrelated to File operations cannot be used. The instrument cannot be played either. If you are using a SmartMedia card that has not been formatted for the instrument and you press the [FILE CONTROL] button, the Format page is automatically called up (after a brief Please Format prompt), letting you format the card. (The particular Format page called up here is the same as that described in step in the section Formatting a SmartMedia card below.)
NOTE The FILE CONTROL display cannot be called up when the SmartMedia card is not properly inserted (le control icon is off). The FILE CONTROL display cannot be called up when the SmartMedia card is being accessed or mounted, or during style/ song playback, or while Lesson is used.
Keep in mind that when battery power becomes low, the instrument sounds may revert to their initial settings and the User song data and panel settings may be lost, especially if you play the instrument in this condition at a high volume. If you intend on using batteries, make sure to save your data regularly and often to a SmartMedia card.
Formatting a SmartMedia card
If youve bought a new, blank SmartMedia card, youll need to format the card before you can use it with the instrument. Make sure the SmartMedia card you wish to format is inserted, then press the [FILE CONTROL] button. Call up the Format page by using the CATEGORY buttons [ ]/[ ]. A Format OK? message appears, asking if you want to format the card.

What Is MIDI?

No doubt you have heard the terms acoustic instrument and digital instrument. In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Lets consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?
Acoustic guitar note production Digital instrument note production

Sampling Note

Tone Generator (Electronic circuit)

Playing the keyboard

Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound.
Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.
As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production? For example, lets say you play a C quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as with what voice, with which key, about how strong, when was it pressed, and when was it released. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.
Example of Keyboard Information Voice number (with what voice) Note number (with which key) Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) Velocity (about how strong) 1 (grand piano) 60 (C3) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) 120 (strong)
Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs, auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also made up of MIDI data. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and it allows different musical instruments and devices to instantly communicate with each other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all over the world and was designed to transmit performance data between electronic musical instruments (or computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one instrument from another and transmit performance data between the devices-taking your creative and performance potential to even higher levels. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.

y PSR-K1: Hot Buttons

The PSR-K1 Entertainment Station adds several revolutionary new features to the PSR line of products. While it contains many of the same features that have made the PSR-series so popular, this document focuses on whats unique to this keyboard. These are the core skills that you will need to demonstrate and sell the PSR-K1 effectively. Use only a PA-5D / PA-5C (or equivalent) power supply with the PSR-K1 (smaller power supplies will degrade the sound and quite possibly damage the machine).

The DEMO button

The PSR-K1s Demo function will go through all of the main features; it also functions as an interactive demo it will not let you forget any important functions. 1. To begin the demo, press the DEMO button found on the upper left-hand side of the front panel. 2. There will be on-screen information to follow as the demo plays. 3. Stop the demo by pressing the START/STOP button on the transport control. While its important to know what the DEMO contains, to achieve real sales effectiveness you should personally go through the key features (listed below) with your customer.
KARAOKE & SCORE buttons
The PSR-K1 has a large bitmap display for both viewing lyric and score. These features were found previously in only the higher-end more expensive PSR models. Now you can either follow along with the song lyrics, or view the musical notation or do both! KARAOKE button 1. Select a song with lyrics (preset songs 001-005) by pressing and holding the SONG button located to the right of the display screen. Use the wheel to select Song number 002 Englishman in NY under the FAVRITS LYRICS category. 2. Now press the KARAOKE button located just below the screen, to view the song lyrics. Then press the START/STOP button to begin play. 3. IMPORTANT: Make sure to point out the fact the PSR-K1 comes with a microphone and effects processing. SCORE button 1. As above, select a song by pressing and holding SONG and then use the wheel to see the titles. For SCORE, any song from any category will work. Press the START/STOP button to begin play. 2. Press the SCORE button to view the music notation on screen. From this screen you can view treble & bass clef notation, and the chords. 3. NOTE: Pressing the SCORE button a second time will toggle between notation views: single staff or both hands (and lyrics) if the song has lyric data.
PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT button
Viewing song lyrics and score are impressive by themselves, however this next feature will provide a real WOW factor to your sales presentation. Performance Assistant technology guarantees that you cant play a wrong note or chord while playing along with a selected song file. 1. To start, simply select a song from the Song mode by pressing and holding the SONG button down. Choose Song 003 Cant Help Falling in Love using the wheel. 2. Press the START/STOP button and allow the song to play a bit. 3. For demonstration purposes play any random notes over the music. (Preferable the
WRONG notes - i.e. play 3 to 5 notes all right next to each other.) Sounds terrible!!! 4. Now, while the song is still playing, press the PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT button and play those same notes again. You will now hear the correct notes being played. Dont forget to allow the customer to try and experience this great new technology. Run your finger up and down the keys to show you cannot play a wrong note even if you are dusting the keyboard!!!

EASY SONG ARRANGER button
Easy Song Arranger puts you in control of what style you want to hear a song, and how you want the song to sound. 1. Start by pressing and holding down the EASY SONG ARRANGER button until the screen changes. 2. Select Song 003 Cant Help Falling in Love. 3. Press the EASY SONG ARRANGER button again to select a new Style to accompany your song selection using the scroll wheel select Style 089 Reggae. 4. Now that the song and style are selected, press and hold the VOICE button until the Voice Selection screen appears. 5. You can change the voices with the wheel. The top line of the screen will read Voice Select (Main). You can now change the Voice currently on the keyboard. Press the VOICE button several more times - change the top line to read Voice Select (Melody R) and change the Voice that is playing the main melody. Set the Melody R Voice to number 088 Sweet Flute. 6. Press the START/STOP button to hear your new creation Elvis meets Marley!!! 7. Press the A/B button next to the START/STOP button to add Fill-ins and change the groove. 8. You can also change the song speed with the TEMPO/TAP button. Press once to bring up the BPM or tempo indication; use the wheel to make any changes. You can also tap the tempo button to change the tempo as well. 9. You can mute the melody all together by pressing the SONG MEMORY Right 1 button on the right front panel. 10. Later you may want to try arranging Song 002 Englishman in NY with the Hip-Hop Light Style beat 018.

The PC button

By connecting the PSR-K1 to a computer you can transfer digital sheet music with both lyrics and music score notation. The PC button feature allows for a single button push to set up your entire PC connection. In addition, the K1 is the first keyboard in the PSR series to support both SmartMediaTM storage and USB connectivity. 1. Included in the box is a blank SmartMediaTM card, on which you can store your song data (you must remove the silver mylar dot in order to write to the card). SmartMediaTM is a solid-state disk device that is 4 times faster than a traditional floppy disk. It is the same technology used in many digital cameras. 2. USB compatibility allows for simple Plug and Play usage. You can easily connect the keyboard via a USB cable to your computer without having to deal with complicated MIDI interfaces. The USB jack takes the place of MIDI In and MIDI Out connections and is all you need to link the PSR-K1 to your computer. Drivers are provided on the included CDROM.
