Press the [SUSTAIN] button once (the indicator will light) and notes played on the keyboard will decay gradually after you lift your fingers from the keys. Press the [SUSTAIN] button a second time (the indicator will go out) to turn the sustain effect off.
The SUSTAIN effect cannot be applied to accompaniment or rhythm, When the PSR-300 DUAL function is engaged, sustain is applied to both voices. Sustain can be applied independently to the left- and right-hand voices in the split mode (see The Split Mode on page 6). Press a key to the right of the split point to select the right-hand voice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select the left-hand voice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice. Sustain can be turned on or off for the melody voice during DEMO playback. Sustain does not affect voice 97 (VOICE BOX) and voice 99 (DRUMS).

DUAL (PSR-300 only)

The PSR-300 DUAL feature makes it possible to select and play two different voices simultaneously. To activate the DUAL feature press the [DUAL ON/OFF] button (the indicator will light). When ON, the voice selected prior to turning the DUAL feature ON will sound simultaneously with a second dual voice. When the PSR-300 is initially turned ON, the STAR LIGHT 2 voice (number 80) is assigned as the dual voice. Any other voice can be selected as the dual voice while the DUAL feature is ON. The DUAL feature can be turned OFF by pressing the [DUAL ON/OFF] button again.

TRANSPOSE

When the DUAL function is used with the SPLIT mode (see page 6) different dual voices can be assigned to the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard. Press a key to the right of the split point to select the right-hand voice, then turn DUAL on and select the righthand dual voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select the left-hand voice, then turn DUAL on and select the left-hand dual voice.
When the SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED accompaniment mode is selected, the DUAL feature applies only to the right-hand section of the keyboard.

The PSR-200/PSR-300 [TRANSPOSE] buttons makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-200/PSR-300 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. and buttons are used for transThe TRANSPOSE or button is position. The first time the TRANSPOSE pressed the current transpose value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current transpose value is still showing button to increase on the display, press the TRANSPOSE button to lower the pitch the pitch of the keyboard, or the The selected degree of transposition will be displayed on the or button MULTI DISPLAY while the TRANSPOSE is pressed, and for approximately 2 seconds after either TRANSPOSE button is released.
The transposition range is from -12 to +12, with -12 corresponding to downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave, and +12 corresponding to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 0 is the normal keyboard pitch value. The normal transpose value (0) can be recalled at any time by pressing buttons at the same time. both the TRANSPOSE and
The transpose value is automatically set to 0 whenever the power switch is turned ON.

THE SPLIT MODE

The PSR-200/PSR-300 SPLIT mode allows you to play two voices at once one with the left hand and one with the right. The left-hand voice can be played to the left of the split point, set as described below, and the right-hand voice can be played to the right of the split point.
Select the right-hand and left-hand voices as required. When the SPLIT mode is first selected the current voice is assigned to the right-hand keys. If no other left-hand voice has been selected since the PSR-200/PSR-300 was turned ON, the ELECTRIC BASS voice (number 82) will be assigned to the left-hand keys.
The left-hand voice is octave-shifted to provide the best sound in the left-hand range.
Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SPLIT indicator lights this selects the SPLIT mode.
2. If necessary, set the split point as described below:
Setting the SPLIT Mode Split Point: The split point for the SPLIT mode is initially set at the C3 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The C3 key, for example, would be displayed as C3. F#2 would be displayed as F-2. The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the F and the 2. The SPLIT mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SPLIT mode is selected. Note that the split-point key is included in the righthand section of the keyboard.

Changing the Right and Left-hand Voices: Make sure the [VOICE/STYLE] button VOICE indicator is lit (press the [VOICE/STYLE] button once if it isnt). To change the right-hand voice press a key to the right of the split point. The current right-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a new righthand voice can be selected in the normal way. To change the left-hand voice press a key to the left of the split point. The current left-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a new left-hand voice can be selected in the normal way.
When playing in the SPLIT mode, the MULTI DISPLAY will switch between the left- and right-hand voice numbers according to whether notes are played on the left- or right-hand section of the keyboard. The PSR-300 DUAL indicator flashes according to the left- and righthand section DUAL mode settings when the SPLIT and DUAL modes are used together.
To initialize the split point to its original default value, turn the [POWER] button on while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The SINGLE FINGER and FINGERED split points (described later) are also initialized by this procedure.

The available tempo range is from 40 to 240 beats per minute. Each accompaniment style has a different default tempo which is automatically set whenever a new style is selected (but not when a new style is selected while the accompaniment is playing). The default tempo for the currently selected accompaniment style can be recalled at any time by pressing buttons at the same time. and both the TEMPO
2. Select any of the PSR-200/PSR-300s 50 accompaniment
styles by using one of the two following methods: 1: Choose one of the 50 accompaniment styles numbered 00 through 49 shown on the STYLE LIST then enter its number using the numeric VOICE/STYLE buttons. To select FUSION1 (number 27), for example, first press 2 and then 7. The number 27 should then be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY.

The tempo is automatically set to the default value for the DANCE1 style whenever the power switch is turned ON. It is also possible to adjust the tempo after starting playback of the accompaniment. This allows you to set the optimum tempo by ear.
Starting the Accompaniment
2: The [+] and [-] buttons in the VOICE/STYLE group can be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease by one) the current accompaniment style number. Press the [+] button briefly to select the accompaniment style one number higher than the current accompaniment style, or the [-] button to select the accompaniment style one number lower than the current accompaniment style. If you hold the [+] or [-] button down, the accompaniment style number will increment or decrement continuously simply release the button when the desired accompaniment style number has been reached. Press the [START/STOP] button to start the selected accompaniment immediately, or press the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button if you want the accompaniment to start when you play the first note on the keyboard. If you press the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button, the three dots along the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY will flash at the selected tempo.
The three LED dots at the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY provide a visual indication of the selected tempo as follows:

When the power is initially turned ON, the 00 DANCE1 style is automatically selected.
If neither the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected, the accompaniment will consist only of rhythm (drums & percussion) sounds. Operation of the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SINGLE FINGER and FINGERED modes is described on page 9 and 10. A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the accompaniment is playing. The style number display will change as soon as the selection is made, but the new style will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The tempo will not change when the new style begins playing.
RHYTHM ACCOMPANIMENT Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction
Any of the PSR-200/PSR-300 accompaniment patterns can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. The intro pattern will repeat as long as the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is held. Once the button is released, the normal pattern will begin playing from the top of the next measure.
Adjusting the Accompaniment Volume
Although the MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level, the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLand UME buttons can be used to adjust the volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to the right-hand melody voice. The fist time the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLor UME button is pressed the current volume will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current volume is still showing on the display, press the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME butbutton to increase the volume, or the ton to decrease the volume. The selected volume level will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY while the volume is being adjusted, and for approximately 2 seconds after either VOLUME button is released. The volume range is from 0 to 24, with 0 being the lowest volume and 24 the highest. The default accompaniment volume value (21) can be recalled at any time by pressing both and the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME buttons at the same time.

Adding Fill-ins

To add a short fill-in (rhythm variation) at any time while the accompaniment is playing, press the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. If you hold the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the fill-in pattern will repeat until the button is released, then the normal rhythm will begin from the beginning of the next measure.
The accompaniment volume is automatically set to 21 whenever the power switch is turned ON. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a beat, the fill in will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the fill in will begin on the beginning of the next beat.
Stopping the Accompaniment
An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing the [START/STOP] button, or it can be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button.
If the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a measure, the ending will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the ending will begin on the beginning of the next measure. If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed while the ending pattern is playing, a fill-in will be played, followed by a return to the normal pattern.

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

The PSR-200/PSR-300 includes a sophisticated Auto accompaniment system that can provide automated bass and chordal backing in a number of ways.
The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-200/PSR-300 keyboard is reduced when the Auto Accompaniment feature is used.
3. Select the desired accompaniment style in the normal
way. Although you can select the melody (upper keyboard) voice you intend to use, the PSR-200/PSR-300 automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment part according the accompaniment style you select.
Single Finger Accompaniment
SINGLE FINGER accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the left-hand section of the keyboard. The bass and chord accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment style.
Press the [START/STOP] button, [SYNCHRO START/ ENDING] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] buttons to determine how the accompaniment will be started (see page 7). If you press the [START/STOP] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the rhythm will begin playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment.

Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SINGLE FINGER indicator lights this selects the SINGLE FINGER mode.
Press any key to the left of the split point to start the automatic accompaniment. If you press a C key, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the left-hand section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will always determine the root of the chord played (i.e. C for a C chord).
Setting the SINGLE FINGER Mode Split Point: The split point for the SINGLE FINGER mode is initially set at the D2 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The D2 key, for example, would be displayed as d 2. F#2 would be displayed as F-2. The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the F and the 2. The SINGLE FINGER mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SINGLE FINGER mode is selected. A method of initializing the SINGLE FINGER mode split point to its original default value is described on page 6.
Playing Minor, Seventh, and Minor-seventh Chords in the Single-finger Mode
For a minor chord, press the root key and a black key to its left. For a seventh chord, press the root key and a white key to its left. For a minor-seventh chord, press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
The automatic accompaniment will continue playing even if you lift your fingers from the Auto Accompaniment keys. You only need to press the Auto Accompaniment keys when changing cords.
Press the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button to stop the Accompaniment.
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT Setting the Accompaniment Volume
Set the volume of the Auto Accompaniment sound using the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME buttons. The MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level.
The PSR-200/300 memorizes separate SINGLE FINGER, FINGERED, and SPLIT mode split points. The corresponding split point is automatically recalled when one of these modes is selected.
Use the TEMPO buttons to set the desired accompaniment tempo (see Setting the Tempo on page 7 for details).
The [INTRO/FILL IN] button can be used in the Auto Accompaniment mode to create pattern variations in the same way that it is with rhythm accompaniment patterns (refer to Adding Fill-ins on page 8 for details).

MOVING UP TO MIDI

A Brief Introduction to MIDI
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a worldstandard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create systems of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.
Use the [SONG SELECT] buttons to select a song number between 00 and 14. Press the button briefly to increment (increase by one) the song number, or the button to decrement (decrease by one) the song number. Holding either button causes continuous incrementing or decrementing. The selected song number will be shown on the MULTI DISor PLAY while the SONG SELECT button is pressed. Press the [MINUS ONE START/STOP] button to start playback of the selected song without the melody line.

When Minus One playback begins, the same voice as for the corresponding demo melody is selected. The DUAL setting and harmony type are also the same.
The PSR-300 MIDI Connectors
The PSR-300 MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-300. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-300 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).
3. Play along on the keyboard.
Only the NORMAL and SPLIT modes can be used during minus-one playback. The NORMAL mode will automatically be selected if FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER is engaged when minus-one playback is started.

Simple MIDI Control

Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-300, of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds. The PSR-300 also transmits program change data when one of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving device is set up, the corresponding voice will be automatically selected on the receiving keyboard or tone generator whenever a voice is selected on the PSR-300.
4. Playback will continue until the [MINUS ONE START/
STOP] button is pressed again.
If you press the [DEMO START/STOP] button during minus-one playback, the melody part will reappear and playback will continue in the DEMO mode. On the other hand, if you press the [MINUS ONE START/ STOP] button during demo playback, the melody part will be muted and playback will continue in the MINUS ONE mode.
The following functions can be used during minus-one playback:
SPLIT DUAL VOICE selection SUSTAIN TEMPO ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME TRANSPOSE SPLIT POINT CHANGE AUTO HARMONY (applies to notes played on the keyboard) The Demo Tunes of this keyboard are Demonstration purposes only. It may not be possible to reproduce the Demo Tunes 100% manually.
The PSR-300 is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a second MIDI keyboard connected to the PSR-300 MIDI IN connector can be used to remotely play the PSR-300 and select voices as required.
(PSR-300 only) MIDI Sequence Recording
The same type of musical information transfer described above is used for MIDI sequence recording. A MIDI sequence recorder can be used to record MIDI data received from a PSR-300, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the PSR-300 automatically plays the recorded performance in precise detail. or button is pressed during external sync If the TEMPO mode is engaged, EC (External Clock) will appear on the display. External synchronization is automatically selected when MIDI clock is received. If the external MIDI clock data is not received, internal clock operation is automatically resumed. Velocity sensitivity is dependent on the selected voice. *Refer to the Remote Control Mode MIDI Implementation Chart on page 34 for more details. Remote Control Mode Transmission The following points apply to MIDI data transmitted by the PSR-300 in the Remote Control mode.

PSR-300 MIDI Settings & Functions The Remote Control Mode
The Remote Control mode should be used when the PSR300 is to be connected to a second keyboard which it is to control. If the PSR-300 is being used as the receiving device, it can be played from an external keyboard while the panel controls including auto accompaniment operate normally. Remote Control Mode Selection The Remote Control mode is automatically selected whenever the PSR-300 is turned ON. If the Multi Voice Mode has been selected (see below), however, the Remote Control mode can be re-selected by pressing the numeric VOICE/STYLE [0] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. rc will appear on the display.
Transmitted note numbers are not affected by the Transpose setting. In the NORMAL or SPLIT mode, all keyboard data is transmitted via the specified MIDI transmit channel. When the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is used, only MIDI data corresponding to notes played on the right-hand section of the keyboard is transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector on the specified MIDI transmit channel.
Remote Control Mode MIDI Transmission Normal Mode

SPLIT Mode

Remote Control Mode Reception The following points apply to MIDI data received by the PSR-300 in the Remote Control mode.
MIDI start messages control PSR-300 rhythm, chord memory record start, and chain play start in the same way as the panel [START/STOP] button. MIDI stop messages have the same effect as pressing the panel [START/STOP] button when a function is running. OMNI ON means that reception can occur simultaneously on all available channels (1 through 16). When a single receive channel is selected, reception only occurs on the specified channel. In addition to note and velocity data, the PSR-300 responds to program change, sustain ON/OFF, start, stop, and MIDI clock messages. Transpose settings affect received MIDI note numbers.
Data from the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard is mixed and transmitted over the same MIDI channel.
FINGERED, SINGLE FINGER Mode
Data from the left-hand section of the keyboard is not transmitted.
MOVING UP TO MIDI (PSR-300 only)
The MIDI program change number corresponding to the number of the selected voice is transmitted when a voice is selected. A MIDI START message is transmitted whenever the rhythm or accompaniment is started, and a MIDI STOP message is transmitted whenever the rhythm or accompaniment is stopped. The same applies to demo and chord memory start/stop operations. Accompaniment style, demo, chord memory, and transpose data is not transmitted.

Multi Mode Transmission The default transmit channel in the Multi mode is the same as that in the Remote Control mode, and can be set via the same procedure (see below). The transmitted data is also the same as in the Remote Control mode, except that no MIDI start/stop message transmission occurs.
Keyboard note ON/OFF data is transmitted via the specified MIDI transmit channel, but the internal tone generator does not sound (LOCAL OFF). The transmitted note numbers are not affected by the instruments TRANSPOSE setting. When a new voice is selected, the corresponding MIDI program change message is transmitted on the specified MIDI transmit channel. The internal voice assigned to that transmit channel will also change accordingly. The program change number is the same as the voice number. The channel-16 program change number will not be transmitted. Refer to the Multi-mode MIDI Implementation Chart on page 35 for more details.
*Refer to the Remote Control Mode MIDI Implementation Chart on page 34 for more details.

The Multi Mode

The Multi mode should be used when the PSR-300 is to be used as a tone generator, for example, receiving data from a second MIDI device (such as a sequencer). In this mode the PSR-300 can receive on multiple MIDI channels, each channel corresponding to a different voice. The PSR-300 panel controls will not function when the Multi mode is selected. Multi Mode Selection If the Remote Control mode is currently selected, the Multi mode can be re-selected by pressing the numeric VOICE/STYLE [0] button while holding the CHORD will appear on the display. MEMORY [REC] button.
MIDI Receive Channel Selection
Press the numeric VOICE/STYLE [2] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. The current MIDI receive channel number or ALL will appear on the display. While still holding the [REC] button press the key corresponding to the desired receive channel (C1. E2), confirm that the desired channel has been selected on the MULTI DISPLAY, then release the [REC] button. The E2 key selects the OMNI ON mode ALL appears on the display. The receive channel setting only applies in the remote control mode.
Multi Mode Reception In the Multi mode the PSR-300 functions as a multitimbre tone generator, allowing different voices to played on all 16 MIDI channels (channel 16 is reserved for rhythm only). Since the PSR-300 employs the Yamaha Dynamic Voice Allocation system, it is not necessary to specify the number of notes that can be played via each channel. A maximum of 28 notes can be played simultaneously via all channels.
MIDI note and velocity messages received on a MIDI channel will affect only the voice selected for that channel. Velocity sensitivity for each voice is set to a dynamic range of 48 dB linear. SUSTAIN ON/OFF messages are ignored. A program change number will select the voice controlled via the channel on which it is received. The new voice number is shown on the display for approximately 2 seconds. The program change number is the same as the voice number (00 99). Program change messages on channel 16 are ignored. MIDI start, stop, and clock data will be ignored.

Press the numeric VOICE/STYLE [1] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. The current MIDI transmit channel number will appear on the display. While still holding the [REC] button press the key corresponding to the desired transmit channel (C1 confirm that the desired channel has been selected on the MULTI DISPLAY, then release the [REC] button. The transmit channel is automatically set to channel 1 and the receive channel is automatically set to OMNI ON when the power is initially turned ON.

Something not working as it should? In many cases what appears to be a malfunction can be traced to a simple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PSR-200/PSR-300 is faulty, please check the following points.

1. PROBLEM

The PSR-200/PSR-300 speakers produce a pop sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF. CHECK This is normal and is no cause for alarm.
Data received via the MIDI IN connector is not retransmitted via the MIDI OUT connector (i.e. no echo-back) in either the Remote Control or Multi mode.
PROBLEM No sound. CHECK Are the MASTER VOLUME control and accompaniment volume levels turned up high enough? PROBLEM Rhythm wont start or no rhythm sound. CHECK Is the accompaniment volume turned up high enough? Are you sure you pressed the START button? Perhaps the PSR-200/PSR-300 is in the SYNCHRO START mode, so all you have to do is start playing. PROBLEM Auto accompaniment wont function. No lower keyboard sound. CHECK Auto accompaniment wont function if the FINGERED mode is selected and youre using SINGLE FINGER type fingering or improper chord fingering. Are you sure youre playing in the left-hand section of the keyboard when the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected? The left-hand section of the keyboard will produce no sound if synchro start is disengaged in the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode. PROBLEM The accompaniment key changes while youre playing. CHECK Perhaps you accidentally pressed a key in the left-hand range. PROBLEM Auto accompaniment chords dont seem to change properly. CHECK Are you playing chords that the PSR-200/PSR-300 can recognize (see fingering chart on page 19)? PROBLEM The sound is distorted or intermittent. CHECK In this case, your batteries are probably flat and need replacement. 17

PROBLEM Sustain produces little or no effect. CHECK The sustain effect may not sound as deep as it normally does when used during accompaniment or demo playback. This is normal. PROBLEM Abnormal operation not listed above. Complete lack of control. CHECK The internal microprocessor may have been locked up due to static electricity or other causes. Turn the instrument OFF for a minute or so, then turn it ON again. If the power can not be turned off by using the [POWER] button, remove the batteries and/or unplug the AC power adaptor.

Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage. Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged. When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery fluid. Keep batteries away from children. If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns. Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products. Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables. When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Yamaha PortaTone
You now own a portable keyboard that packs advanced functions and great sound in a highly compact size. Its outstanding features also make it an exceptionally expressive and versatile instrument. Read this Owners Manual carefully while playing your new PortaTone in order to take full advantage of its various features.

Main Features

The PortaTone is a sophisticated musical instrument with the following features and functions:
G Exceptionally realistic sounds with 100 AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) Voices, utilizing digital recordings of actual instruments. G Dynamic, versatile rhythms and accompaniment with 100 music Styles. G 20 Songs, for listening enjoyment or for playing along with when using the Minus One function. G 20 Jam Track patterns, providing specially programmed rhythms and chord progressions for playing along with. G One Touch Setting, for automatically calling up an appropriate Voice for playing with the Style, Song or Jam Track you select.

Getting Started

Power Requirements
Although the PSR-74 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.
G When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the PortaTone may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.
CAUTION Never mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese). CAUTION To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove tg batteriT from the instrument if it is not to be used for a long time.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PSR-74 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3/3B/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. Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of your PSR-74, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.

Selecting a Voice

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, playin middle C with one Voice may sound higher or lower than another Voice at the same key.
3. Play the newly selected Voice.
Voice, repeat step 2 above.

To change to another

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 categories. 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 ACCOMPANIMENT 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 10 and 11 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 7.)
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.
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 rhythm, rather than disrupting it.

2. Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired Style

number.

7. To 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 ACCOMPANIMENT SECTION.
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 ACCOMPANIMENT 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.
Chords played in the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT 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 note of the chord.
Press the root note together with any white key to the left of it.
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.

Press the root note together with any black key to the left of it.
Setting Auto Accompaniment 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.
In Single Finger, the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SECTION is set between the C1 key (the lowest key) and the C 2 key.
Press the root note together with any white and black key to the left of it (three keys altogether).
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.

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
C C7sus4 Cm Caug(7) C7 Cdim(7) Cm7
Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.
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 ACCOMPANIMENT 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.

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 16-25. 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. To turn the function off, press the button again.
4. If you want to change to another Song or Jam
Track pattern, repeat step 2 above.
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.
5. To stop the Song or pattern, press the START/

STOP button again.

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 8.) 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 STANDBY/ON button may fail to turn the power on. When using the STANDBY/ON button, wait a short time between successive presses.
The sound of the Voice changes from note to note.
The power cannot be turned on.
