Press the [START/STOP] button to stop style playback when youre done.
You can switch style sections to add variety to the accompaniment. Refer to Pattern Variation (Sections) on page 70.
Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords
Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment. In this section well take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or chord sequences. Since each chord has its own unique coloreven if its different ngerings of the same chordthe chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge inuence on the overall feel of the music you play. On page 34 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take your accompaniments to a new level. On these pages well introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the instruments accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively creating a complete song.
Playing the Chord Progressions

Play the scores with the left hand. Before playing the scores follow steps 1 through 3 of Play Along with a Style on page 34.
* The scores provided here are not standard song scores, but rather simplied scores that indicate which notes to play to produce the chord progressions.

Chord Basics

Two or more notes played together constitute a chord. The most basic chord type is the triad consisting of three notes: the root, third, and fth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fth note of the C major scale).
In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the root of the chord (this is the chords root position. using other chord notes for the lowest note results in inversions). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.
Major thirdfour half steps (semitones) Minor thirdthree half steps (semitones)
The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below.

As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?

Connecting to a Computer

For example, lets say you play a C quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as with what voice, with which key, about how strong, when was it pressed, and when was it released. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.
Example of Keyboard Information
Voice number (with what voice) Note number (with which key) Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) 1 (grand piano) 60 (C3) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) 120 (strong)
Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound.
Velocity (about how strong)
Tone Generator Sampling (Electronic circuit) Sampling Note Note Playing the keyboard
Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs, auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also made up of MIDI data. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and it allows different musical instruments and devices to instantly communicate with each other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all over the world and was designed to transmit performance data between electronic musical instruments (or computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one instrument from another and transmit performance data between the devices-taking your creative and performance potential to even higher levels. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.
Channel Messages This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI channels simultaneouslymeaning it can play up to sixteen different instruments at the same time. Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.

Troubleshooting

The driver cannot be installed.
Is the USB cable connected correctly? Check the USB cable connection. Disconnect the USB cable, then connect it again. Is the USB function enabled on your computer? When you connect the instrument to the computer for the rst time, if the Add New Hardware Wizard does not appear, the USB function on the computer may be disabled. Perform the following steps. Are you using the latest USB-MIDI driver? The latest driver can be downloaded from the following web site. http://music.yamaha.com/download/
Playback response is delayed.
Does your computer satisfy the system requirements? Is any other application or device driver running?
Select [Control Panel]* [System] [Hardware] [Device Manager] (for Windows 2000/XP), or select [Control Panel] [Device Manager] (for Windows Vista).
* Classic View only in Windows XP.
Cannot suspend or resume the computer correctly.
Do not suspend the computer while the MIDI application is running. You may not be able to suspend/resume normally, depending on the particular environment (USB Host Controller, etc.). Even so, simply disconnecting and connecting the USB cable will allow you to use the instrument functions again.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to External Clock on page 88. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 84) is set to an appropriate level.
The style does not sound properly.
Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 72). 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. This is not a malfunction. Style number 141 and style numbers 153165 (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. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off. Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button rst when you are going to use any style-related function. The harmony effects (0126) behave differently according to their type. Types 0105 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the right-hand range. Types 0626 will function whether style playback is on or off. For types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time.
No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 141 or a style between 153 and 165 (Pianist).
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off.
Some notes dont sound when playing multiple notes simultaneously on the keyboard, or some notes dont sound when playing arpeggios. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds. The sound of the voice changes from note to note.

The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device. Program change numbers are often specied as numbers 0127. Since this list uses a 1128 numbering system, in such cases it is necessary to subtract 1 from the transmitted program change numbers to select the appropriate sound: e.g. to select No. 2 in the list, transmit program change number 1. Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, re or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
Only use the voltage specied as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. Use the specied adaptor (page 105) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. 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.

Water warning

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 any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualied Yamaha service personnel. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Input jack Phone plug (standard) Phone plug (standard)

Audio cable

When these are connected, you can use the instruments [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume of the sound output to the external device.
Do not route the output from the [OUTPUT] jacks to the [AUX IN] jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at the [AUX IN] jacks is output from the [OUTPUT] jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal performance impossible, and may even damage both pieces of equipment.
Playing External Audio Devices with the Built-in Speakers
You can connect the output jacks of an external device (such as CD player, tone generator, etc.) to the instruments AUX IN [L/L+R]/[R] jacks, letting you hear the sound of that device through the built-in speakers of the instrument.
When the sound of an external device is output to the instrument, rst turn on the power to the external device, then to the instrument. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.
CD player, Tone generator LINE OUT Phone plug (standard) Pin plug
The instruments [MASTER VOLUME] setting affects the input signal from the [AUX IN] jacks.
Connecting a Separate TV Monitor
Connect the instrument to an external TV monitor, and you can have the current display contents, lyrics (for group sing-alongs and the like, or text les) displayed on the TV.

The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB storage media.
To protect your data (write-protect)
To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect.
Connecting/removing USB storage device
Before removing the media from the device, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations). If you intend to connect two or three devices at the same time to a terminal, you should use a USB hub device. The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub can be used. If an error message appears while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub. Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument freezing or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB connector, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.
Formatting a USB Storage Device
When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/media. If so, execute the format operation.
Insert a USB storage device for formatting into the [USB TO DEVICE]. Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] [J] UTILITY TAB [E][F] MEDIA
The format operation deletes any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB storage medias.
Press the [H] (FORMAT) button to format the device/media.
Conrming the remaining memory You can check the remaining memory of the connected USB storage device by pressing the [F] (PROPERTY) button in step 4 above.
Connecting to the Internet
By using the [LAN] or [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you can connect the instrument to the Internet. For instructions on connecting, refer to page 85 and Internet Connection Guide downloadable from the Yamaha website.
Press the [A]/[B] buttons to select the USB device to be formatted from the device list. The indications USB 1, USB 2, etc. will be displayed depending on the number of the connected devices.

USB Audio function

The message This drive is busy now. appeared, and then the recording was aborted. Make sure to use a compatible USB storage device (page 94). Make sure that the USB storage device has enough memory (page 78). If you are using a USB memory device to which data has already been recorded, check rst that no important data remains on the device, then format it (page 95) and try recording again. Audio les cannot be selected. The le format may not be compatible with the instrument. The compatible formats are: MP3 and WAV (PSR-S910), WAV (PSR-S710). The DRM protected les cannot be played back. The audio playback volume has been changed. Setting the volume value to 100 plays back the le as the same volume when it was recorded (page 77).
Recorded le is played back at a different volume compared to when it was recorded.
The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the Mixer. When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again.
Microphone/Vocal Harmony (PSR-S910)
The microphone input signal cannot be recorded. Harmony can be heard in addition to the microphone sound. The Vocal Harmony effect sounds distorted or out-of-tune. The microphone input signal cannot be recorded by Song recording. Use the USB Audio function (page 77). Vocal Harmony is set to ON. Turn Vocal Harmony off (page 91). Your vocal microphone may be picking up extraneous sounds, such as the Style sound from the instrument. In particular, bass sounds can cause mistracking of the Vocal Harmony. To remedy this: Sing as closely to the microphone as possible. Use a unidirectional microphone. Turn down the Master volume, Style volume, or Song volume control (pages 15, 48).

Foot Pedal

The on/off setting of the footswitch connected to the FOOT PEDAL jack is reversed. Turn the instruments power off, then turn on again without pressing the footswitch.
