Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below:

s Location

Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage. q Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window). q High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime). q Excessive humidity. q Excessive dust. q Strong vibration.
Never mix old and new, or different type of batteries! To prevent damage due to battery leakage, it is a good idea to remove the batteries from the PSR-4000 (after saving any important data to disk) if it is not to be used an extended period of time. (YAMAHA is not responsible irretrievable internal data.)

s Power Supply

q In some areas the PSR-4000 will have a voltage selector on the bot110V tom panel. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the AC mains voltage in your area. The voltage selector can be set (rotated) by using a screwdriver. If in doubt, contact your Yamaha dealer. q Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use. (The PSR-4000 uses a very small amount of power to maintain the internal memory contents even when no batteries are installed and the power is turned off.) q The power supply cord should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time. q Unplug the instrument during electric storms. q Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adapters since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation errors, and possibly damage.
s Turn Power OFF When Making Connections
q To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.
s Memory Backup Batteries
The PSR-4000 requires four 1.5 V C size (LR14) batteries for memory backup power. If no backup batteries are installed, the memory contents will be lost when then instrument is unplugged from the AC mains supply. Please use alkaline batteries. The average life of a set of alkaline batteries is about 12 months. 1. Open Battery Compartment Cover Open the battery compartment cover located on the instruments bottom panel by pressing on the two latches on the cover and pulling outward, as shown in the illustration. 2. Insert Batteries Insert the four batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the bottom panel. 3. Replace Cover Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

X Set the Transposition and/or Tuning As Required...
Use the TRANSPOSE LCD [v/w] controls to set the desired degree of transposition, and the TUNE LCD [v/w] controls to set the desired degree of tuning. The transpose range is from 24 to +24, allowing a maximum upward or downward transposition of 2 octaves. A setting of 0 produces the normal pitch. The tuning range is from 414.6 Hertz to 466.8 Hertz, adjustable in 0.2-Hertz steps. A3 = 440.0 Hertz is normal pitch.
C Return to the Main Display When Done....
Press the MAIN VOLUME LCD button to exit from the transpose and tune functions and return to the main display.

OCTAVE CHANGE

This function allows the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD voices to be independently transposed up or down by one octave. The LEFT, R1, R2, and LEAD LCD buttons directly set the octave of the corresponding voice. Pressing one of these buttons changes the corresponding octave setting to +1, 1, and then 0, in sequence. +1 shifts the voice up one octave 1 shifts the voice down one octave, and 0 sets the voice to its normal octave.
These parameters are also available in the F1 VOICE PART function display page 101. Some voices may suddenly shift octaves when played at the extreme ends of the keyboard if they are set to a lower or higher octave than normal. This can also occur when the PITCH BEND wheel is used on extremely low or high notes. If you change the transpose, octave change, or tuning settings while playing one or more notes on the keyboard, the new octave change settings will take effect from the next notes played while tune and transpose settings take effect immediately.
The PSR-4000 has 120 different preset accompaniment styles and up to 12 custom accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The PSR4000s sophisticated Auto Bass Chord accompaniment system can provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment style.

Z Turn ABC ON.....

Press the [AUTO BASS CHORD] button so that its indicator lights, thereby turning the ABC mode on.

ROCK / ROCKNROLL JAZZ

POP / BEAT
Rhythm-only accompaniment will be produced if you dont turn the [AUTO BASS CHORD] button on. The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-4000 keyboard is reduced when the Auto Bass Chord feature is used. The PSR-4000 employs last-note priority, which means that when the number of notes played on the keyboard exceeds the total number that can be produced by the PSR-4000 at that time, the last notes played take priority.

The touch response function turns the PSR-4000s keyboard velocity response on or off. Normally, touch response should be turned on the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button indicator should be lit to allow normal dynamic control via the keyboard (i.e. the harder the keys are played, the louder the sound). In some cases, however, you might want to turn touch response off (indicator off). For example, most organs have no keyboard velocity response, so touch response can be turned off for greater realism when playing organ type voices. Touch response can also be turned off to create a constant-volume sound with any voice. Use the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn touch response on or off as required.
Touch response sensitivity, off level, and voice assignments can be set via the TOUCH EASY SETTING display, or via the CONTROLLER function display. See page 107 for details.
Expression & Effects s

Reverb.......

Press the [REVERB] button to apply the reverb effect specified by the REVERB TYPE and DEPTH functions described on page 110. The [REVERB] button alternately turns the reverb effect on (indicator lit) or off (indicator out).
Reverb type and depth settings are available via the REVERB EASY SETTING display, or via the REVERB/CHORUS/DSP EFFECT function display. See page 110 for details. Reverb type changes will apply to the note currently being played, while reverb ON/OFF and depth changes will apply to the next note played. Although the [REVERB] indicator will go out, the reverb effect cannot be turned off during accompaniment or song playback.

Chorus......

Press the [CHORUS] button to apply the chorus effect at a depth specified by the CHORUS DEPTH function described on page 112. The [CHORUS] button alternately turns the chorus effect on (indicator lit) or off (indicator out).
Chorus depth settings are available via the CHORUS EASY SETTING display, or via the REVERB/CHORUS/DSP EFFECT function display. See page 110 for details. Although the [CHORUS] indicator will go out, the chorus effect cannot be turned off during accompaniment or song playback.

A new drum/percussion instrument is assigned to a pad simply by playing the key corresponding to the desired instrument while holding the pad to which it is to be assigned. The reverse also works: press the pad while holding the key. The velocity at which you play the key (how hard you press the key = how loud the note sounds) is also recorded to the specified pad.

REC/STOP

PERCUSSION PHRASE/CHORD
Percussion voices created using the CUSTOM VOICE EDIT functions described on page 78 can also be assigned to the percussion pads.
V Press [REC/STOP] To End Assignment
When youre finished making instrument assignments to the PERCUSSION pads, press the [REC/STOP] button so that its indicator goes out.
PHRASE PHRASE/CHORD PLAYING
Percussion pad data can be saved to and loaded from disk (page 90), but can not be memorized by the Registration feature (page 43).
Playing the Percussion Pads.....
The PERCUSSION pads can be played at any time whether an accompaniment is playing or not as long as the PERCUSSION mode is selected. Depending on the assigned instrument, some pads will play continuously as long as they are held.
The PERCUSSION pad sounds are not affected by the PSR-4000 PITCH BEND wheel or MODULATION wheel.
The PSR-4000 Registration Memory feature can be used to memorize 128 complete control-panel setups (16 banks, 8 setups each) that you can recall whenever needed.
Registration data can be saved to and loaded from floppy disk as required (page 90). The disk provided with the PSR-4000 contains a number of sample registration settings.

The EXCLUSIVE RECEIVE parameter turns MIDI reception of MIDI exclusive data generated by external equipment ON or OFF. A check mark appears in the MESSAGE SW EXCLUSIVE TRANSMIT or RECEIVE box when the corresponding parameter is ON.

TRANSMIT

This display page allows you to specify which PSR-4000 voices and parts will be transmitted via which MIDI channels (there are 16 MIDI channels), and to specify which types of data will be transmitted for each channel.
q TRANSMIT MONITOR The TRANS. MONITOR (transmit monitor) at the top of the display indicates when data is being transmitted on any of the 16 MIDI channels: The dots corresponding to each channel (1 16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s). q CHANNEL Use either the v and w LCD buttons to the left of the display, or the CH LCD [v/w] control to select the channel to which you want to assign a part or change a data switch setting. The channel numbers are show in the leftmost column in the display. q PART The PART LCD [v/w] controls select the voice or part which will be transmitted via the currently selected channel. Only one voice or part can be specified per channel. Any of the parts listed below can be selected. If one part is assigned to multiple channels, only the lowest-numbered channel will be used.
OFF RIGHT 1 RIGHT 2 LEAD LEFT HARMONY 1 HARMONY 2 HARMONY 3 MULTI PAD 1 MULTI PAD 2 MULTI PAD 3 MULTI PAD 4
No data will be transmitted on the selected channel. Only data corresponding to the specified voice will be transmitted on the selected channel.
The Harmony feature (page 33) produces a maximum of three harmony notes. These settings correspond to each of the harmony notes. Multi pad phrases from the corresponding pad are transmitted via the selected channel. When a pad is played in the PERCUSSION mode, however, the data is transmitted on the channel to which MULTI PAD 1 is assigned. CHORD pad data is transmitted as note data on the channels to which the appropriate accompaniment parts are assigned (RHY 1 ACCOMP PHRASE2).
ACCOMP RHY 1 ACCOMP RHY 2 ACCOMP BASS ACCOMP CHORD 1 ACCOMP CHORD 2 ACCOMP PAD ACCOMP PHRASE1 ACCOMP PHRASE2
The specified accompaniment part is transmitted via the selected channel.
q NOTE, CONTROL CHANGE, PROGRAM CHANGE, & PITCH BEND SWITCH These switches turn transmission of the specified data type on or off. Use the NOTE, CNTCNG, PRGCNG, and PITCHBND LCD [v/w] controls to turn transmission of the corresponding data on or off. A check mark appears in the appropriate box when the corresponding switch is turned on.

This switch turns transmission of the note data on or off. When off, no notes will be produced by an external instrument or tone generator even when the voice or part assigned to the selected channel is played. Note transmission can be turned off, for example, you only want the external device to respond to program change numbers, changing the selected voice without actually playing it. Turns transmission of control change data on or off. Control change data includes modulation wheel, foot controller, and any other controller data (except the pitch bend wheel, which has its own switch, below). Turns transmission of program change data on or off. Program change data corresponds to voice or patch numbers, and is used to select the corresponding voices on an external MIDI device. Turns transmission of pitch bend wheel data on or off.

CNTCNG

PRGCNG PITCHBND

RECEIVE

This display page allows you to specify the MIDI receive mode for each PSR-4000 MIDI channels, and to specify which types of data will be received via each channel.
q RECEIVE MONITOR The RECEIVE MONITOR at the top of the display indicates when data is being received on any of the 16 MIDI channels: The dots corresponding to each channel (1 16) flash briefly whenever any data is received on the channel(s). q CHANNEL Use either the v and w LCD buttons to the left of the display, or the CH LCD [v/w] control to select the channel to which you want to assign a mode or change a data switch setting. The channel numbers are show in the leftmost column in the display. q MODE The MODE LCD [v/w] controls select the receive mode for the currently selected channel. Any of the following modes can be selected:
OFF MULTI MIDI BASS No data will be received on the selected channel. This is the Multi-Timbre mode in which the corresponding channel of the internal tone generator is directly controlled by the received MIDI data. When the AUTO MIDI BASS or MANUAL MIDI BASS ABC accompaniment mode is selected this receive mode can be selected to allow reception of bass note data from an external MIDI bass pedal unit or other device. When this mode is selected the received MIDI data controls the PSR-4000 panel operations rather than playing the internal tone generator. Which panel operations are controlled by which types of MIDI data are specified in the PANEL CONTROL display page, described below. This is the normal receive mode in which MIDI note data received by the PSR-4000 (A-1 C7) plays the corresponding notes in the same way as if they were played on the keyboard. Pitch bend, modulation, expression, and sustain control data is also accepted. Program change and main volume data affects the RIGHT 1 voice only.

Troubleshooting

Symptom
Noise is heard when the power is turned on or off.

Possible Cause/Solution

This is a normal result of the power surge that occurs when the unit is turned on or off. No solution necessary. The volume controls or foot volume are turned all the way down. Set the volume controls and foot volume to a reasonable listening level. Are the desired parts turned on? A pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack. Unplug the headphones.

No sound.

Is the FOOT SWITCH connected to the FOOT VOLUME connector? The FADE OUT switch is on and has reached the end of its duration, muting the sound. Press the FADE IN/OUT switch so that its indicator goes out. MIDI local control is turned OFF. Turn MIDI local control ON using F8 MIDI function.
The style list or voice list does not appear even when a style or voice group button is pressed. The style list, voice list or one touch setting list does not automatically disappear. Pressing the SUSTAIN button on the panel will not switch on the SUSTAIN function. The accompaniment does not start.
The [LIST HOLD] button is engaged (its LED is lit). Press the [LIST HOLD] button so that its indicator goes out, then try selecting a style or voice (page 11). The [LIST HOLD] button is engaged (its LED is lit). Press the [LIST HOLD] button so that its indicator goes out. The panel SUSTAIN button does not function when SUSTAIN is assigned to the connected FOOT SWITCH. Disconnect the FOOT SWITCH or use the FOOT SWITCH to control sustain. The MIDI CLOCK setting is set to EXTERNAL. Reset the MIDI CLOCK to INTERNAL using F8 MIDI function. The maximum polyphony has been exceeded. You can play up to 32 notes at the same timeincluding auto-accompaniment, song memory, multi pad notes etc. Notes exceeding this limit will not sound. When using ABC or HARMONY, be careful not to exceed the limit. This is normal, each voice or style has its own suitable preset values.
Some notes do not sound or are prematurely cut off. When a voice or style is changed, the previously selected effect is changed or the sound is prematurely cut off. There is a slight difference in sound quality between notes played on the keyboard. Some voices have a looping sound. Some noise or vibrato is noticeable in higher pitches depending upon the voice. Some voices will jump an octave in pitch when playing up or down scales in the upper or lower registers. The ABC chord does not change even when a different chord is played or the chord is not recognized. The disks remaining memory value does not coincide with the actual value. When using a MIDI controller, effects do not function as usual or not at all. If any trouble other than what is listed above occurs try the solution at the right.

PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B, PA-3, PA-4, PA-40 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
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.

G Auto Power OFF

The PSR-74 features an Auto Power OFF function that automatically turns the power OFF if the instrument is not used for approximately 30 minutes. This functions whether batteries or the AC power adaptor is used.

DC IN 10-12V

PHONES/ OUTPUT DC IN 10-12V

Accessory Jacks

Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.
WARNING Use ONLY the Yamaha PA-3/3B/4/40 AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-74. CAUTION Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-74, or during electrical storms.

Using Batteries

G Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt size D batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned. Replace the lid.
Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo System
After making sure the PortaTone and any external devices are turned off, connect one end of a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX. IN jack(s) of the other device and the other end to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack of the PortaTone.

The Music Stand

Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the top rear of the PSR-74 control panel.
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

Press the STANDBY/ON button 1 to turn on the 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.

Selecting a Mode

Your PortaTone has three different operating modes: Voice, Style and Song each selected from the corresponding panel buttons. VOICE 2 lets you select and play a Voice. STYLE 3 lets you select and play a setting that includes a rhythm/accompaniment pattern. SONG 4 lets you select and play either a Song or a Jam Track pattern.
To select and play one of the Songs:
With the Song mode selected, use the Numeric Keypad 5 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.)
To select one of the modes:
Press the button corresponding to the desired mode. For now, press SONG 4 to select the Song mode.
2. To play the selected Song, press the START/STOP
button 7. Note that the dots in the MULTI DISPLAY ! flash 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 MULTI 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:

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.

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.
