Chord Fingerings

The way in which chords are played or indicated with your left hand (in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard) is referred to as fingering. There are 5 types of fingerings as described below.
Multi Finger Single Finger Fingered 1 Fingered 2 Full Keyboard
The default Fingering Mode is Multi Finger.
Press the [FINGERING] button.
Select the desired fingering mode.

The SINGLE FINGER mode

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 on the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard. The following abbreviated chord fingerings are used:
For a major chord, press the root key only.

Cm Cm 7

For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left. For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.

The FINGERED 1 mode

The Fingered 1 mode lets you finger your own chords on the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of and including the split-point key normally 54) while the PSR-740/640 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment in the selected style. The FINGERED 1 mode recognizes the following chords:

When the PSR-740/640 is turned on, the LED below the floppy disk slot will be lit indicating that the Disk Drive is ready to use.
q To eject a floppy disk: Before ejecting the disk, be sure to confirm that the FDD is stopped (check if the DISK IN USE lamp is off). Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.
This lamp is always on when the power is on, regardless of the disk operation.
DISK IN USE This lamp lights during disk read/write operations, such as when a disk has been inserted, during recording, playback, formatting, etc.
If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a half-pressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure. q Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off during recording, reading and playing back. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. q Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors.
Write protect tab ON (locked or write protected)
Write protect tab OFF (unlocked or write enabled)
q Data backup For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged.

Sample Disk

Disk song playback
Insert the sample disk into the disk drive.
If a disk has already been inserted into the drive, press the [SONG] button to call up the Song display.

Press the [START/STOP] button again to stop the song.
For details, see Song Playback (page 76).

Format

Setting up commercially available floppy disks for use with PSR-740/640 is called formatting. This function is useful for quickly deleting unnecessary files from an already formatted disk. Be careful when using this operation, since it automatically deletes all data on the disk.
After formatting, the capacity of a 2HD disk is 1 MB, and that of a 2DD disk is 720 KB.
Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive.
When a (new) blank disk or an incompatible disk is inserted an alert message will be displayed on the screen. In this case, press the [EXIT] button to show OK to format the disk? and then simply follow the procedure 5 below.
Press the [UTILITY] button.

D IS K

Select Format.
When the floppy disks writeprotect tab is set to ON (see page 66) or the disk is a purposely copy-protected disk, an alert message appears indicating that the Format function is not possible.
Press the [NEXT] button to display the Format operation screen.
If data is already saved on the disk, be careful not to format it. If you format the disk, all the previously recorded data will be deleted. While formatting is in progress, never eject the disk or turn off the power to the PSR-740/640. If a disk that cannot be read by the PSR-740/640 is inserted into the disk drive, it will be treated the same as an unformatted floppy disk. Take care not to erase important data by accidentally formatting a disk.
Execute the Format operation.
Press the [+/YES] button to execute the Format operation. Press the [-/NO] button to abort the Format operation.
The Format operation is completed.
You can save PSR-740/640 User styles, User pad (banks 37-40) and Registration Memory data (banks 01-32) to floppy disks.
Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive. Press the [SAVE] button.
When the floppy disks writeprotect tab is set to ON (see page 66) or the disk is a purposely copy-protected disk, an alert message appears indicating that the Save function is not possible.

Select the file type.

Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Refer to the file type list below:

Save all User Pad (bank 37-40) data gathered together into one single file. Save all Registration Memory (bank 01-32) data gathered together into one single file.

Setting up

Set the INPUT VOLUME control to MIN.
Connect a microphone to the MIC/LINE IN jack of the PSR-740.
A standard dynamic microphone with an impedance of about 250 ohms is recommended. (The PSR-740 does not support phantom-powered condenser microphones.)
Set the MIC/LINE panel switch to MIC.
Adjust the INPUT VOLUME control while singing into the microphone.
Use the SIGNAL and OVER indicators to determine the appropriate setting. With the INPUT VOLUME control at the minimum, sing or talk into the microphone at the highest expected volume. Gradually bring the control up toward MAX so that the SIGNAL indicator is lit and the OVER indicator flashes occasionally. Then reduce the INPUT VOLUME just enough to keep the OVER indicator from flashing. This should be the optimum level setting
If the OVER indicator lights regardless of the INPUT VOLUME setting, the output level of the microphone (or other source) is probably too high. Compensate by reducing the output level of the source.

Using the LINE setting

Normally, since you will be using a microphone, you may never need to use the LINE setting. However, this may come in handy if you want to use a pre-recorded source (on CD or cassette tape) with the vocal harmony feature. (For best results, the source should be a single vocal only; any other singers and instruments in the mix could produce unexpected or undesired results.) To do this: 1 Set the INPUT VOLUME control to MIN. 2 Connect the source to the MIC/LINE IN jack. Use a stereo-to-mono cable or a Y cable to combine the left- and right-channel output signals from the source device for input to the PSR-740s mono MIC/LINE IN jack. 3 Set the MIC/LINE panel switch to LINE. 4 Adjust the INPUT VOLUME control. Play the source at the highest expected volume, and adjust the INPUT VOLUME control to get the optimum input level (as in the Setting Up instructions above).
Never use the MIC setting with a line level signal (CD player, cassette deck, etc.). Doing this could damage the PSR-740 and its input functions.

CD player, etc.

Using the Vocal Harmony effect
Connect a microphone to the MIC/LINE IN jack of the PSR-740 (page 13). Press the VOCAL HARMONY [ON/OFF] button to turn the Vocal Harmony effect on.

ON/OFF REVERB DSP4 TALK

Pickup of extraneous sounds from the microphone can cause distorted Vocal Harmony sound.
Sing into the microphone.
Separate the microphone from the instruments speakers as much as possible.
Play the keyboard while singing into the microphone.
The Vocal Harmony effect can be controlled by the chords you play. How you use chords to control the effect depends on the Vocal Harmony settings. Here are some examples. (For more details, see page 85.)
q When the Harmony mode is set to VOCODER and the Harmony part is set to UPPER: Play the keys with your right hand while you sing. The Vocal Harmony effect changes chords and notes according to what you play above the auto accompaniment split point. q When the Harmony mode is set to CHORDAL: First, turn on the auto accompaniment (page 35) to start the accompaniment. Play the keys with your left hand while you sing. The Vocal Harmony effect changes chords and notes according to what you play below the auto accompaniment split point (in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard). The Vocal Harmony effect features various settings, including the harmony type, the quality of the harmony voice and the way in which chords affect the Vocal Harmony.

Quantize

Quantize lets you clean up or tighten the timing of a previously recorded track. For example, the following musical passage has been written with exact quarter-note and eighth-note values.
Even though you think you may have recorded the passage accurately, your actual performance may be slightly ahead of or behind the beat (or both!). Quantize allows you to align all the notes in a track so that the timing is absolutely accurate to the specified note value.

1-10 11

Use the same operation as in Re-recording (page 98).
Select the Song file to be quantized.

Select Edit.

Select Quantize.
Press the [NEXT] button to display the TRACK selection screen. Select the track to be quantized.
Select the Quantize size (resolution).
Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Set the Quantize value to correspond to the smallest notes in the track you are working with. For example, if the data was recorded with both quarter notes and eighth notes, use 1/8 for the quantize value. If the quantize function is applied in this case with the value set to 1/4, the eighth notes would be moved on top of the quarter notes.
