Precautions Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your new PortaTone is a fine musical instrument and should be treated as such. Handle it with care and common sense, and it will give you years of enjoyment.

Location

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. Never leave it inside a car where it can get very hot. Also avoid highly humid or dusty places.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, use a slightly moistened cloth. Never use alcohol, thinner, or other chemical solvents, since they will damage the finish. Also, do not leave vinyl chloride material on the PortaTone for a long time, since it may adhere to the exterior.
Interference From Electromagnetic Fields
Do not use your PortaTone close to television sets, radios or similar equipment since this may cause interference noise in the other appliance.

Handling

Protect your PortaTone from strong impact. Be careful not to drop it or place heavy objects on it. Avoid applying excessive force to the controls and keys.
NOTE Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper usage.
When Not Using the PortaTone
After use, always turn off the POWER switch. When not using your PortaTone for long periods, be sure to remove the batteries to avoid damage through battery leakage.

Getting Started

Power Requirments
Your PortaTone can run either on batteries (sold separately) or on normal household current by using the optional Yamaha PA-3/4/40 Power Adaptor.

Accessory Jacks

Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel HEADPHONES/AUX OUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.

PSR-185

Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3/4/40 Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Plug the adaptor into a convenient wall outlet and its connector into the DC 10-12V IN jack on the back of your PortaTone.

Playing Your New PortaTone
This section briefly shows you how to use the various controls on the panel of the PortaTone.

Turning on the Power

to turn on the Press the POWER ON/OFF button power of the PortaTone. Whenever the power is turned on, Voice 01 (PIANO) is automatically selected.
Playing a Song in the Song Mode
A variety of Songs and special Jam Tracks have been recorded to your PortaTone to give you a taste of what you can do with the instrument, and to provide music and patterns for you to play along with. To select and play one of the Songs:

Selecting a Mode

Your PortaTone has three different operating modes: Voice, Style and Song each selected from the corresponding panel buttons. VOICE lets you select and play a Voice. STYLE lets you select and play a setting that includes a rhythm/accompaniment pattern. SONG lets you select and play either a Song or a Jam Track pattern. To select one of the modes: Press the button corresponding to the desired mode. For now, press SONG to select the Song mode.

With the Song mode selected, use the Numeric Keypad to enter the desired Song or Jam Track number. Be sure to enter a two-digit number, as is printed next to each song on the panel. For example, to select Song 09, first press 0 on the Numeric Keypad, then 9. You can also use the +/- buttons on the Numeric Keypad to step up or down through the preset numbers; holding down the appropriate button continuously changes the number. Note that the +/- buttons have a wrap around feature. For example, pressing the + button from the last number returns to Song 01. (Song 01 is also automatically selected when you turn the power on.)
2. To play the selected Song, press the START/STOP
button flash Note that the dots in the MULTI DISPLAY in time with the music. The left dot flashes at the first beat of every measure, and the right dot flashes at the other beats. (For more information on the MULTI DISPLAY, see box at right.)

About the MULTl DISPLAY

As mentioned above, the dots in the MULTI DISPLAY flash in time with the rhythm, and the indication is used when a Song or Style plays back. This flashing provides a visual indication of both the tempo and the time signature of the rhythm. For Songs and Styles in 4/4 time, the dots flash like this:

3. Adjust

the volume of the Song by using the VOLUME control
4. Although the Song is automatically set to play at a
default tempo, you can change the speed of the Press Song by using the TEMPO buttons TEMPO + to increase the speed and TEMPO - to decrease it; holding down the appropriate button continuously increases/decreases the speed. (Note that the tempo value is briefly shown in the MULTI DISPLAY.) if you want to set the tempo back to its original default setting, press both TEMPO buttons simultaneously. (For more information on the Tempo functions, see box at right.)
For Songs and Styles in 3/4 time, the dots flash like this:
5.To stop the Song, press the START/STOP button

again.

About the Tempo Functions

Tempo Values

As mentioned above, the tempo value is shown briefly in the MULTI DISPLAY when one of the TEMPO buttons is pressed. The displayed tempo range is from 10 to 60; in actual tempo values, the range is from 40 to 240 beats per minute. (Each step in the tempo adjustment corresponds to 4 beats per minute.)
NOTE You should enter numbers on the Numeric Keypad relatively quickly, If
do not enter the second digit of a number
within about ten seconds after entering the first digit, the first digit will be carcelled. Entry of a first digit is also automatically cancelled if any other button on the panel (except for those on the Numeric Keypad) is pressed before entering the second digit. Also, keep in mind that entry of numbers higher than 40 in the Song mode are ignored.

Default Tempos

Each Song and Style has been given a default or standard tempo. If you change the tempo, you can set it back to the original default setting, by pressing both TEMPO buttons simultaneously. Also, the tempo of a Song or Style returns to the default setting when selecting a different Song or Style. (The set tempo remains, however, when switching Styles during playback.) When you turn on the power of the PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set to the default setting of Style 01.

Voice Mode

The Voice mode features 100 authentic Voices. Many of these Voices have special preset characteristics or embellishments. The Voices are divided into various categories depending on their characteristics or the effects used. Dual Voices (#41 - X56) feature two Voices mixed together in a layer for rich ensemble sounds. Split Voices (#57 - #67) also have two Voices, but rather than being layered, each is played from a different range of the keyboard. Sustain Voices (#66 - #72) extend the sound by adding a natural, slow release. Harmony Voices (#73 - #85) have an additional one-, two- or three-note harmony added to the original monophonic Voice. Finally, Echo Voices (#86 - #00) have an echo effect that adds delayed repeats to the original Voice. Included in the Voices are special PERCUSSION Voices (#40 and #00 that lets you play various drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the Percussion Assign list page 11.)

About the Harmony Voices

Since Harmony Voices are designed to automatically play two or more notes with the notes you play on the keyboard, only one note can be played on the keyboard at a time. If several notes are played together, only the last note or highest note played will be heard. The type of harmony used depends on the Voice that is selected. When a Style or Song/Jam Track is not being played back, the basic key for the harmony is always C. When a Style is played or the Stopped Accompaniment function is active, the harmony changes according to the chord played with the left hand. When a Song is played back, the harmony changes according to the chord progression of the Song or Jam Track.

Selecting a Voice

1.Press the VOICE button to select the Voice mode.
The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12 notes. (Depending on the Voice selected, fewer notes may be available.) This includes not only the Voices played from the keyboard, but also the notes in a style pattern, and so on. Thus, if you play too many notes at one time, some may not sound and/or others may be cancelled.
2. Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired
Voice number. Each Voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one Voice may sound higher or lower than another Voice at the same key.

Play the newly selected Voice. To change to another Voice, repeat step 2 above. You can also play rhythm Styles in the Voice mode by simply pressing the START/STOP button. The Style last selected from the Style mode will be played.

Style Mode

The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns as well as Voice settings appropriate for each pattern for various popular music styles, as listed on the panel. A total of 100 different Styles are available, and are divided into ten different categoties. Each rhythm pattern also has a specially created companion Fill In pattern, which can be played by using the SYNC-START/FILL IN button. Auto Accompaniment features built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto Accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (labeled "AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION on the keyboard, including keys C1 through F2) is for the Auto Accompaniment function.

4. With

the rhythm running, youre ready to try out the Auto Accompaniment feature. Try playing a few single notes with your left hand, and notice how the bass and chord accompaniment change with each key you play. (Refer to the boxed sections on pages 7 and 8 for more information on how to use Auto Accompaniment.)
5. Use the TEMPO buttons to change the tempo of the
Style as its playing. (For more information on the Tempo functions, see page 4.)

6. While

the Style is playing, you can add variation to the rhythm by playing special Fill In patterns. To play a Fill In pattern, press the SYNC-START/ FILL IN button.

Selecting a Style

Press the STYLE button to select the Style mode.
NOTE The Fill In pattern may not play precisely when you press the SYNC-START/FILL IN button, but instead starts on the beat immediately following your press of the button. Also, depending on when you press the button, only a portion of the Fill In might be played. Both of these situations are normal and are done to ensure that the Fill In pattern complements the basic rhvthm, rather than disrupting it.
2.Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired

Style number.

stop the rhythm, press the START/STOP button again.
Pressing the START/STOP button while the rhythm is playing produces a simple ending phrase. This also applies to playing Jam Track patterns in the Song mode.

3. You

can start the selected rhythm by pressing the START/STOP button.

The PortaTone also has a Synchro Start function that allows you to start the rhythm by simply pressing a key on the keyboard. To use Synchro Start, first press the SYNC-START/FILL IN button, then press one of the keys in the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION.
NOTE Synchro Start is automatically set to stand-by when you select the Style mode. (The dots in the MULTI DISPLAY flash to indicate stand-by status.)
Using the Auto Accompaniment Function/Multi Fingering
The Auto Accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION of the keyboard using either the Single Finger or Fingered method. With Single Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see Single Finger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the PortaTone understands what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment
NOTE Chords played in the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION of the keyboard are also detected and played when the accompaniment is stopped (Stopped Accompaniment function). In this condition, the Voices used for the bass and chords are automatically selected.

Single Finger Chords

Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. The illustration below shows how to produce the four chord types. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For example, B 7 is played as B and A.)
Press the root of the chord.
Press the root note together with any white key to the left of it.
NOTE To use the Minus One function with one of the styles, press the MINUS ONE button. (The LED next to the button lights.) Minus One cancels all chord accompaniment, leaving only the bass and basic rhythm of the Style.
Pess the root note together with any black key to the left of it.

Setting Auto Accompuniment to Single Finger or Fingered
Though detection of the Single Finger and Fingered methods is automatic, you can set Auto Accompaniment to function exclusively in either the Single Finger or Fingered mode. To set Auto Accompaniment to Single Finger, turn the power off, then hold down the - button on the Numeric Keypad and simultaneously turn the power on. "SF" (Single Finger) briefly appears in the MULTI DISPLAY.
Press the root note together with any white and black key to the left of it (three keys altogether).
In Single Finger, the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION is set between the C1 key (the lowest key) and the C#2 key. To set Auto Accompaniment to Fingered, follow the same steps, holding down the + button instead. F (Fingered) briefly appears in the MULTI DISPLAY. To switch back to Multi Fingering operation, simply turn the power off and on again. 7

Fingered Chords

Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fingered mode.
Fingered Chords in the Key of C
Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.
NOTE If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played as G-C-E) the PortaTone will still recognize it as a C chord. Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position, however; all other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th. If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will be recognized as the root. 7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or the 7th. 9th chords are recognized only in root position; all other inversions are interpreted as suspended 4th. Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented and diminished. The PortaTone also has a Chord Cancel function to stop the chord accompaniment but allow the rhythm pattern to continue playing. To use Chord Cancel, simultaneously press any three consecutive notes in the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION; for example, C, C# and D.
One Touch Setting in the Style Mode
The One Touch Setting function automatically selects an appropriate Voice for playing with the Style you select. In other words, when One Touch Setting is on, the Voice automatically changes when you change the Style. To turn on the One Touch Setting function, press the ONE TOUCH SETTING button. (The LED next to the button lights.) To turn the function off, press the button again.

NOTE When the One Touch Setting is on, selecting another Style will automatically reset the tempo to the default of the selected Style.

Song Mode

The Song mode features special Songs and Jam Track patterns that have been created using the rich sounds and sophisticated accompaniment functions of the PortaTone. The Songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with them on the keyboard. Also, by using the Minus One function, you can "mute the original melody and play it manually on the keyboard yourself. The Jam Track patterns in this mode let you jam or play along with a variety of dynamic rhythm styles and chord changes. if playback is not stopped, all Songs play back repeatedly in succession, indefinitely. (However, if Minus One is on, only the selected Song repeatedly plays back.) If a Jam Track pattern is selected, only the selected pattern repeats indefinitely.
About the Minus One Function
Minus One, as its name implies, takes away the melody part of the Song, allowing you to play that part yourself. You can turn Minus One on before starting a Song, or do it even while a Song is playing. To help you play the missing melody, scores for all Songs have been provided; see pages 13-22. To use the Minus One function with the selected Song, press the MINUS ONE button (either before starting the Song or while it is playing). (The LED next to the button lights.)
Selecting and Playing a Song or Jam Track Pattern
Press the SONG button to select the Song mode.
One Touch Setting in the Song Mode 2. Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired Song
or Jam Track number. The One Touch Setting function works with the Minus One function and automatically selects an appropriate Voice for playing the melody along with the Song you select. Though the Minus One function is not used with the Jam Track patterns, One Touch Setting works the same way with Jam Track, automatically selecting an appropriate Voice. To turn on the One Touch Setting function, press the ONE TOUCH SETTING button. (The LED next to the button lights.)

3. Start

the selected Song or Jam Track by pressing the START/STOP button.
You can also start the selected Song or Jam Track pattern with the Synchro Start function (as in the Style mode) by simply pressing any key of the keyboard.
4. If you want to change to another Song or Jam
Track pattern, repeat step 2 above.
To turn the function off, press the button again.
NOTE Keep in mind that even with the One Touch Setting function on, there are some Songs and Jam Track patterns which change the selected Voice in the middle of the Song or pattern.
stop the Song or pattern, press the START/ STOP button again.
Sound Effect and Drum Pads (PSR-185)
Use the button corresponding to the desired set of sounds to change the bank. Press the button repeatedly to step through the banks. The selected bank number briefly appears in the MULTI DISPLAY. For example, to select bank 3, press the button next to SOUND EFFECT repeatedly until 3 appears in the MULTI DISPLAY. The Sound Effect and Drum Pads let you play selected drum and percussion sounds, as well as special sound effects, from the four Pads directly above the right side of the keyboard. The Pads can be played in any of the modes. You can play them alone (for example, to try out your own rhythms), or play them along with the Styles, Songs and Jam Track patterns. Eight banks of sounds (four in each bank) are available. There are 16 Sound Effect sounds and 16 Drum sounds, and each sound is shown graphically on the panel.

NOTE Unlike the "one-shot Drum sounds, the Sound Effect sounds are complex sequences of sounds and once triggered, play through to their end.
NOTE Up to two Pads can be played simultaneously. Three or more Pads can be played successively; however, the limit on total simultaneous notes may result in cancellation of some sounds or notes played in the Voice, Style or Song mode. (Refer to the note regarding polyphony on page 5.)
When the power is turned on, bank 1 of the Sound Effect sounds is automatically selected.

Troubleshooting

Problem When the PortaTone is turned on or off, a buzzing sound is temporarily produced. The sound of the voices or rhythms seems unusual or strange. Not all notes are heard when playing a number of notes simultaneously. Possible Cause and Solution This is normal and indicates that power is flowing into the PortaTone. The battery power is too low. Replace the batteries.
Too many keys are pressed at the same time. The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12 notes. (See the note on page 5.) The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the Voice may be slightly different from note to note. Quick, successive pressing of the POWER ON/OFF button may fail to turn the power on. When using the POWER ON/OFF button, wait a short time between successive presses.
The sound of the Voice changes from note to note.
The power cannot be turned on.

Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made todayparticularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devicesuse MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs, styles and panel settings. The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enormoussimply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this section, youll learn the basics of MIDI and the specic MIDI functions provided by this instrument.

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 a grand 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?
