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 power 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 electric plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. 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.
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 power 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. Pulling by the cord can damage it. Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for a long time, or during electrical storms. 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. 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 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 or plastic 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 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 place objects in front of the instruments air vents on the top and rear panels, since this may prevent adequate ventilation of the internal components, and possibly result in the instrument overheating. Also, be careful to place the instrument on a flat, level surface to prevent blockage of the air vents on the bottom panel. 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. alkaline batteries. 1. Before changing the battery be sure to save any important data to disk by using the SAVE TO DISK function described on page 141. 2. Turn the PSR-8000 power OFF and unplug the power cord from both the AC wall socket and the instruments rear panel. Turn the instrument upside down and rest it on a blanket or other soft surface. 3. 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. 4.

To give you an idea of the PSR-8000s sophisticated capabilities, it is programmed with a number of demonstration sequences which can be played in a number of ways.

Z Switch ON......

Plug the AC power cord into the AC INLET on the rear panel of the PSR-8000, and a convenient AC outlet, then press the [STANDBY] button to turn the PSR-8000 ON.
Pressing the [STANDBY] button a second time turns the power off. Even when the power is off, the PSR-8000 consumes a minute amount of power in order to maintain some internal memory contents. Be sure to unplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet if you will not be using the PSR-8000 for a long time.

Press the [STYLE CREATOR] button. The currently selected accompaniment style will appear in the ORIGINAL STYLE window on the display.
X Select a style, if necessary..
Select a preset style or one of the [CUSTOM STYLE] or [GROOVE STYLE] styles that is close to the style you want to create. Style selection is carried out in the normal way (page 28).
C Engage the CUSTOM STYLE CREATOR.
Press the CUSTOM STYLE CREATOR LCD button to go to the CUSTOM STYLE CREATOR display.
The Custom Style Creator V Select the section you want to record, and
change the pattern length, time signature, & tempo, as required...
Perform these operations in the BASIC parameter display (page 66). Press the SETTING LCD button to access the SECTION, PATTERN LENGTH, BEAT and TEMPO parameters if the PART RECORD parameters are showing.
B Go to the PART RECORD display and set up

the parts...

Press the PART RECORD LCD button to go to the PART RECORD display and use the LCD dials to set the REC mode for the part you want to record. Other parts can be play-enabled or muted as required. Parts which contain no data are automatically set to MUTE. Parts other than RHY1 and RHY2 which contain preset data must be deleted before they can be set to the REC mode (you can overdub over data youve recorded yourself). When the DEL. LCD button is pressed DELETE will appear for parts which contain data. Select DELETE via the part LCD dials while holding the DEL. button to delete all data in the corresponding parts. The data is actually deleted when the DEL. button is released. When a part is set to the REC mode the default voice for that part is automatically selected. A different voice may be selected prior to recording by using the usual voice selection method (see NOTE, to the right)
Only DRUM KIT/SFX KIT and DRUM KIT custom voices can be selected for the RHY 1 part. All voices except the ORGAN FLUTE voice can be selected for the RHY2 part. The ORGAN FLUTE, DRUM KIT/SFX KIT, and DRUM KIT custom voices cannot be selected for the BASS through PHR2 parts.
N Start the record loop...
Press the [START/STOP] button to start recording. The selected section of the current style will begin playing in the key of C major 7 (only the metronome will sound if the entire style has been cleared). The style will loop (play) continuously to allow convenient recording and overdubbing.
SYNC START START/ STOP INTRO A/B

ACCOMPANIMEN

The Custom Style Creator M Record the selected part..
You can now add new notes to the selected part by playing the keyboard at the appropriate timing. The default chord for data entry is C major 7. A different chord can be specified as required via the PARA. EDIT display page, described on page 71. If both the RHY1 and RHY2 parts are deleted the metronome will sound to provide a timing guide (the metronome sound is not recorded). A single drum instrument can be cleared from the RHY1 or RHY2 part which is currently set to the REC mode by pressing the key corresponding to the instrument to be cleared while holding the RHY. CLEAR LCD button.

ROOT TRANS. When transposed the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3, and G3 in the key of C will become F3, A3, and C4 when transposed to F. Use this setting for parts that contain melodic lines. The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3, and G3 in the key of C will become C3, F3, and A3 when transposed to F. Use this setting for chordal parts.

ROOT FIXED

The NTT dials specify the note transposition table to be used for source pattern transposition. 6 table types are available:
BYPASS MELODY CHORD BASS No transposition. Suitable for melody line transposition. Use for melody parts such as PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2. Suitable for chord transposition. Use for the CHORD 1 and CHORD 2 parts when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts. Suitable for bass line transposition. This table is basically similar to the MELODY table, but recognizes on-bass chords allowed in the FINGERED 2 fingering mode. Use primarily for bass lines.
MELODIC MINOR HARMONIC MINOR This table lowers the third scale degree by a semitone when changing from a major to a minor chord, or raises the minor third scale degree a semitone when changing from a minor to a major chord. Other notes are not changed. This table lowers the third and sixth scale degrees by a semitone when changing from a major to a minor chord, or raises the minor third and flatted sixth scale degrees a semitone when changing from a minor to a major chord. Other notes are not changed.
When NTR (above) is set to ROOT FIXED and NTT (also above) is set to BYPASS, the SOURCE ROOT and SOURCE CHORD parameter names change to PLAY ROOT and PLAY CHORD. In this case it is possible to change chords and hear how the results sound for all parts. If P or PRESET appears for the SOURCE ROOT, SOURCE CHORD, NTR, or NTT parameter, the preset data uses special settings.
HIGH KEY/NOTE LIMIT......
The HIGH KEY dials specify the upper root limit. Chords with a root higher than the specified limit will be played in the octave immediately below the high-key limit. This setting is effective only when the NTR parameter (above) is set to ROOT TRANS.
Example: When HIGH KEY = F.
Root Motion C C# D F F# Notes Produced C3-E3-G3 C#3-F3-G#3 D3-F#3-A3 F3-A3-C4 F#2-A#2-C#3
NOTE LIMIT LOW and HIGH dials specify the low and high note limits for all notes in the specified part. Notes outside this range are transposed to the nearest octave within the range.

These parameters assign voices to the specified section/part. Use the SECTION and PART LCD dials to select a section/ part you want to assign a different voice to. Use the CATEGORY LCD dials to select a voice category, and the VOICE dials to select the specific voice to be assigned to the selected PART. Voices which can not be used are not displayed.
Copies all SETUP parameter settings (VOICE and FULL MIXING CONSOLE ACMP PART settings, etc.) from the SOURCE SECTION and PART to the specified DESTINATION SECTION and PART. Use the SOURCE SECTION, SOURCE PART, DESTINATION SECTION, and DESTINATION PART LCD dials to specify the source and destination sections and parts as required. Press the EXECUTE button.
Copying may not be possible with some source and destination part combinations. In such a case the EXECUTE LCD button will appear in gray and will not be available.

GROOVE

GROOVE......
The parameters in this display are used to change the timing of the style to create the required groove. Use the SECTION LCD dials to select the section you want to apply groove timing to. The BEAT dial specifies the beats to which groove timing is to be applied (i.e. if 8 is selected groove timing is applied to 8th notes in the selected section, or if 12 is selected groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets). The BEAT CONVERTER dials actually change the timing of the beats specified by the BEAT dial to the specified value. The available BEAT CONVERTER settings change according to the selected BEAT. With a BEAT setting of 8 and a BEAT CONVERTER setting of 12, for example, all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The 16A and 16B BEAT CONVERTER settings which appear when BEAT is set to 12 are variations of the 16 setting. The SWING dial produces a swing feel by shifting the timing of back beats, as specified by the BEAT parameter. For example, if the specified BEAT value is 8th notes, then the swing parameter will delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The A through E settings produce different degrees of swing feel, with A being the most subtle and E being the strongest. The FINE dials select a range of groove templates to be applied to the current section. PUSH settings cause certain beats to be played early, while HEAVY settings delay the timing of certain beats. The number 2, 3, 4, or 5 determines which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat, but not including the first beat, will be played early or delayed: e.g. the 2nd and 3rd beats if 3 is selected. In all cases A types produce minimum effect, B types produce medium effect, and C types produce the maximum effect. Press the PRESET LCD button to restore the default settings for the current style.

1: WAVE NAME Enter an original name for the selected wave as described on page 21. 2: CLEAR Use the WAVEFORM and WAVE LCD dials to select a waveform and wave. The WAVEFORM CLEAR LCD button clears the entire waveform and the waves it contains. Waves which are actually included in other waveforms but are shared by the selected waveform will not be cleared. The WAVE CLEAR LCD button clears only the selected wave. If the selected waveform only has one wave, you will be asked to confirm whether it is OK to clear the entire waveform. You will also be alerted if the selected wave is shared by other waveforms. 3: EXPORT AS WAV This function exports the current wave as a WAV file which can be loaded and used by other instruments or computers which can handle the WAV format. If the optional hard disk is present, use the DIRECTORY LCD dials to select the floppy disk or hard disk directory to which you want to save the file. Press the NEW FILE LCD button to create a new file, or overwrite an existing file by using the FILE LIST LCD dials to select the target file and then pressing the OVERWRITE LCD button.
Since this function saves the wave in standard WAV format, parameters unique to the PSR-8000 are not saved.
4: DELETE Use this function to delete unwanted wave or waveform files from disk. If the optional hard disk is present, use the DIRECTORY LCD dials to select the floppy disk or hard disk directory containing the file you want to delete. Use the FILE LIST LCD dials to select the target file and then press the EXECUTE LCD button to delete it.
A icon between the FILE LIST number and file name indicates a WAV or AIFF format wave file, while a icon indicates a waveform file.

Waveform Edit

The WAVEFORM EDIT display is accessible from the SAMPLING MENU when at least one wave is in the wave memory. The WAVEFORM EDIT mode includes the following functions: EDIT 1: SELECT WAVEFORM... 97 2: ADD WAVE... 97 3: MOVE START NOTE/VOLUME/DELETE WAVE.. 98 NAME/CLEAR/DISK 1: WAVEFORM NAME... 98 2: CLEAR.... 98 3: SAVE.... 98 4: DELETE... 98 STORE AS CUSTOM VOICE 1: CUSTOM VOICE NAME.. 99 2: STORE AS CUSTOM VOICE... 99 3: CLEAR CUSTOM VOICE... 99 Select the EDIT, NAME/CLEAR/DISK, or STORE AS CUSTOM VOICE display via the and LCD button to the right of the display, then use the v and w LCD buttons to the left of the display to select the desired function. LCD button can be used to switch between the In all edit displays except ADD WAVE (see below) the currently selected waveform and the currently selected panel voice. While in the WAVEFORM EDIT mode, the LCD button in the upper left corner of the display will take you directly to the WAVE EDIT mode (page 93). The [EXIT] button will take you back to the SAMPLING MENU.

Recorded tracks are automatically set to the PLAY mode when recording is stopped, so you can simply press the [START/STOP] button to hear what youve recorded immediately after recording. All other playback functions are the same as described on the Song Playback section (page 100).
Press the [SONG/M. PAD RECORDING] or [EXIT] button to exit from the MULTITRACK RECORD mode and return to the RECORDING MENU display.
Punch-In & Replace Recording
In addition to the normal recording procedure described above, the PSR-8000 also has a REPLACE record mode which allows normal recording to be carried out from a specified measure, and a PUNCH IN record mode which allows only a section of a recorded track to be re-recorded without having to redo the entire track. The REPLACE or PUNCH IN record mode can be selected via the record mode display accessed by pressing the REC MODE LCD button in the main MULTI TRACK RECORD display. The REC MODE button is only available when the current song contains some previously recorded data.
Z Go to the REC MODE display.....
Press the REC MODE LCD button to go to the record mode display.
X Select the PUNCH IN or REPLACE record
mode & related parameters..
q PUNCH IN Use the RECORD MODE LCD dials to select PUNCH IN. Use the PUNCH IN TRIGGER LCD dials to select the FIRST KEY ON, FOOT SW 1, FOOT SW 2, or AUTO SET start trigger. When FIRST KEY ON is selected recording will begin
when the first key is played on the keyboard. When FOOT SW 1 or FOOT SW 2 is selected recording will begin when a footswitch connected to the corresponding rear-panel FOOT SWITCH jack is pressed. When AUTO SET is selected, the punch-in and punch-out measures are specified by the IN and OUT LCD dials (i.e. recording begins automatically at the IN measure and ends at the OUT measure). Use the MEASURE SET dials to specify the first playback measure. Be sure to give yourself a few measures lead-in prior to the actual punch-in point.
If a measure is specified beyond the last measure which contains data, the last measure which contains data will automatically be selected.
q REPLACE Use the RECORD MODE LCD dials to select REPLACE. Use the MEASURE SET LCD dials to specify the measure you want to start recording from.
C Return to the main recording display and record....
Press the OK LCD button to confirm the record mode settings and return to the main MULTI TRACK RECORD display. Or press the CANCEL LCD button to return without making any changes.

SOFT 2

Use the LEFT, R1, R2, and LEAD LCD dials to turn initial touch response control for the corresponding parts ON or OFF as required.
q AFTER TOUCH Aftertouch effects are preset for many of the PSR-8000s voices (some voices have no aftertouch). This parameter sets the keyboard aftertouch sensitivity. Use the SENSITIVITY LCD dials to select the desired sensitivity. When the SOFT type is selected maximum variation can be produced with minimum aftertouch pressure. Use the LEFT, R1, R2, and LEAD LCD dials to turn aftertouch for the corresponding parts ON or OFF as required.
F4: REGISTRATION/ONE TOUCH SETTING/VOICE SET

REGISTRATION...

q NAME You can enter descriptive names for each registration setup via the NAME function. The name entered is applied to the currently selected registration setup. If necessary, begin by selecting the desired registration bank and number. The name can be entered as described on page 21. Press the OVERVIEW LCD button to see an overview of which voices are assigned to which parts, and the selected STYLE or SONG. The BANK and NUMBER LCD dials are available in the overview display. Press the RETURN LCD button to return to the normal REGISTRATION display.
Its a good idea to give your registration setups names that make them easily identifiable. If youve created a registration setup for a song named MySong, a good registration name might be something like MySong-Reg.
q FREEZE GROUP SETTING You can specify which settings are affected by the FREEZE function (page 47) via the FREEZE GROUP SETTING function. Use the GROUP SELECT LCD dials to select a setting you want to freeze or un-freeze, then use the MARK LCD dial to set or remove the check mark for that setting. Repeat until all settings are marked or un-marked as required. The parameters included in each group are listed on page 171.

ONE TOUCH SETTING.....

q CUSTOM OTS (One Touch Setting) The OTS LCD dial selects the CUSTOM OTS setup to be edited (setups which contain no data cannot be selected). The STYLE to which the selected CUSTOM OTS is assigned is displayed to the right. The STYLE CATEGORY and v/w LCD dials can be used to change the style to be assigned to the selected CUSTOM OTS setup. The DELETE LCD button deletes the selected CUSTOM OTS setup. When a CUSTOM OTS setup is deleted the original preset setup is restored.
