Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

Power Requirements

Although the instrument 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.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY.

Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.
Connect the instruments USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performance data and song les between the two (page 87). To use the USB data-transfer features youll need to do the following:
First, make sure the POWER switch on the instrument is set to OFF, then use an AB type USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer. After making the connections, turn on the power of the instrument. Install the USB-MIDI driver on your computer.
Installation of the USB-MIDI driver is described on page 95.
NOTE Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store.
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Turning the Power On

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch again to turn the power OFF.
Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.
NOTE Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.
Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
Backup data in the ash memory is loaded to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no backup data exists on ash memory, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is turned on.
Even when the switch is in the STANDBY position, electricity is still owing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.
Never attempt to turn the power off when a WRITING! message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the ash memory and result in data loss.

Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possibly resulting in a loss of flash memory data. Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to flash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.
Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.
Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instruments output signal to that device.
Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. A Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch plugged into this jack can be used to switch sustain on and off.
The sustain function does not affect split voices. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

In addition to piano, organ, and other standard keyboard instruments, this instrument has a large range of voices that includes guitar, bass, strings, sax, trumpet, drums and percussion, sound effects a wide variety of musical sounds.

(Envelope Generator)

Attack Time Release Time
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower for a violin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sustain to most ideally match the music.

Sustain Level

ATTACK

RELEASE

Key Played

Key Released

Knob A adjusts attack time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach maximum level when a key is played). Knob B adjusts release time (the amount of time it takes for the sound to decay to silence after a key is released).

v Style Filter

In this case the knobs apply the filter effect to the style being played. Knob A and Knob B have the same functions as for z Filter described on the preceding page.

b Style Tempo

Tempo No Effect
Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the tempo while rotating it counterclockwise decreases the tempo. The knobs center position produces the initial default tempo.

Using the Knobs

Select the voice you want to play on the keyboard.
For this example we want to use a synth-lead type voice, so select 147 SquareLd (Square-wave Lead).
Try Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices (page 16)
Press the [ASSIGN] button as many times as necessary to select z FILTER (z will appear in the display).

SquareLd

z appears here.
Knob A can now be used to adjust the filter cutoff frequency, and Knob B can be used to adjust the resonance.
Rotate Knob B to its maximum setting (all the way to the right), then play with the right hand while operating Knob A with the left hand.
Rotating the knob to the right while the volume is set to a high level can result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce the volume level. If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the ideal settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the same way, if the v STYLE FILTER effect is selected, the knobs will be reset if a different style is selected. If you create an original setting you like, it might be a good idea to save it in the instruments Registration Memory (page 48) so you can recall the same settings again at any time. You can also record performances using original sounds youve created (page 43).

Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are first operated after the new effect has been selected.
The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects that can be assigned to the knobs. Some Ideas for Using the Knobs
Number/Effect z FILTER Try This Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (see the Voice List of the separate Data List). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A while playing for some spacey, floating 1980s effects. Select a voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied, and turn Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the direct sound of the voice. You can then turn the Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and richness to the voice.

x EFFECT

v STYLE FILTER
Select style 42, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback (pages 2628). Set Knob B to about 3 oclock, and Knob A to about 8 oclock. The overall sound of the style should be a bit muffled, with the drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact. Play a style and/or arpeggio and use Knob A to adjust the tempo.

b STYLE TEMPO

Select a piano voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3 oclock position. This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for slow pieces.

Problem When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.
Possible Cause and Solution This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output. Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 74.)
There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back.
Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound.
When using the Dictionary function (page 65), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely The volume is too soft. new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor. The sound quality is poor. The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play. The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play correctly. The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset. The style or song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. The style does not sound properly. Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to External Clock on page 74. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 62) is set to an appropriate level. Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 63). Is the ACMP ON indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show. No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 150 or a style between 162 and 174 (Pianist). Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. This is not a malfunction. Style number 150 and style numbers 162174 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on. The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or stolen) from the accompaniment or song. You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyphony (the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously) of the instrument. The instrument will play normally as long as no more than 32 notes are being played at once, both on the keyboard and by any automatic playback functions. The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. This is normal. 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.
