Introduction

Although the PSR-9000 and 9000Pro are two of the most powerful music workstations available, this software update adds even more features and power. Before we move on to the installation procedure, make sure that the following oppy disks have been prepared. If you do not have them yet, download the necessary les from the Yamaha PK Club web site (http://www.yamahaPKclub.com/).

If youre not thoroughly familiar with the handling and use of oppy disks, please refer to the precautions on page 5 of the PSR-9000 or 9000Pro Owners Manual.
Important! Backup Before Installation
If you have made any changes to the Flash Style, OTS, or Music Database contents that you want to keep, we recommend that you back up your data to oppy disk before installing the new software.
Youll need one or two blank oppy disks for this!

Also, the new operating system allots 30 kilobytes more Custom Voice memory than preceding operating system software. We recommend that you back up the Custom Voice data if youre upgrading from a previous operating, but in the case that you want to re-install a previous operating system after upgrading, you will denitely need to use the Save To Disk function to save any Custom Voice data you want to keep to disk (the amount of Custom Voice memory will be reduced and thus the Custom Voice memory will be initialized).

page 129 page 153

If you havent made any changes to the settings listed above, or dont want to keep any changes youve made, you can skip straight ahead to Installing Your New Software on page 8.

Backing Up Your Data..

There are several ways to back up your data, depending on the types of changes you have made and the data you want to keep. Look over the options presented below and choose the one that best suits your backup requirements.

All Data

This method will let you back up any combination of Setup, Style, OTS, Music Database, Registration, and Multi Pad data. This backup option uses the Disk/SCSI Backup function.

Stop Accompaniment..

This new function allows auto accompaniment to be used even when accompaniment playback is stopped. When a chord is played in the auto-accompaniment section of the keyboard the currently selected pad and bass parts will sound. This can be particularly handy for free-tempo (rubato) passages, or simply to practice at your own pace.
Access: [FUNCTION] SPLIT POINT/FINGERING [NEXT]
Turn STOP ACCOMPANIMENT ON or OFF.
This function will be disabled when the ngering mode is set to Full Keyboard or AI Full Keyboard, even when Stop Accompaniment is turned ON.

Song Chain...

The SONG CHAIN function lets you set up a sequence of songs which will play back automatically ideal for background music.
Access: [SONG SETUP] SONG CHAIN
The MODE parameter offers a choice of SINGLE to play only the selected song le directory, ALL to play all marked song le directories, and RANDOM to play the marked song le directories in random sequence. Select a category. Mark (include) or un-mark (exclude) the category.
When the REPEAT parameter is OFF the song chain will play through once and then stop. When ON the chain will repeat until playback is stopped manually.
When ALL or RANDOM is selected the directory containing the currently selected song le will be played back at rst, even if it is not marked. Then the marked directories will follow.

Next Song Reservation..

This function makes it possible to specify the next song to be played while the current song is still playing, so that the next song begins as soon as the current song nishes.
Access: SONG FILE DIRECTORY [I] ~ [V]

Current song.

Reserved for playback next.

Cancel the next song.

While the current song is playing press the appropriate LCD button to select the next song once. A thick border will appear around the selected song title, indicating that it is reserved for playback next. If you press the song-select button a second time playback of the new song will begin immediately.

HD Sleep Time Control..

In previous versions the internal hard disk (when installed) would always go into sleep mode after a preset time, both to maximize the lifetime of the hard disk and to minimize unnecessary mechanical noise. The few seconds it took for the hard disk to wake up from the sleep mode, could, however, be a problem in some situations. In the new version you can set the hard disk sleep time from anywhere between 30 seconds and 1 hour, or to never if you never want the hard disk to go into sleep mode.

Access: [FUNCTION] UTILITY TIME HD SLEEP TIME
Set the hard disk sleep time as required.
Panel Sustain Rate Control.
As always the panel [SUSTAIN] button adds sustain to the voice being played on the keyboard for a smoother overall sound. The new Panel Sustain Rate Control feature allows you to adjust the length of sustain created when the [SUSTAIN] button is ON, for optimum sound with the voice used and your playing style.

The PANEL SUSTAIN value is relative, so the actual length of sustain produced will depend on the voice used.
Sustain Mode (new for the PSR-9000).
This feature has already been implemented on the 9000Pro, but is new on the PSR-9000. When the sustain mode is set to DEFAULT pressing the sustain pedal produces sustain with decay, like an acoustic piano. When the sustain mode is set to HOLD, the sustain is maintained indenitely ideal for organ, strings, pads, or similar voices. The actual sustain effect produced will depend on the selected voice.

Disk Style

The procedure is as follows:
Open the directory containing the style you want to register via the Disk Direct POP UP window (this could be on a oppy disk or on an internal or SCSI hard disk, if installed). Use the System Backup function to memorize the directory with the system.

page 50 page 55

Set the right-hand voice and other performance parameters as required. Memorize the settings using the Registration Memory.

page 29 page 29

Please note that the correct style may not be recalled if a different oppy disk is used or the le name is changed. If you recall a Registration Memory with a Disk Direct style in the Song Select display, the style may not be loaded until exiting the display. One directory can contain up to 250 style les.
Style Creator & Disk Direct Styles.
In the new version it is possible to directly select a Disk Direct style for editing in the Style Creator. Simply select the Disk Direct style to be edited and engage the Style Creator.

5. Power Tips

The Power Tips presented in this section can help you make the most of the creative power and performance potential offered by the PSR-9000 and 9000Pro. And note that these tips dont only apply to the new features the Power Tips can be used with any previous version of the operating system as well.

2-note Chords..

In addition to making it possible to easily play chords that would normally require you to play 3 or 4 notes by actually playing only 2 notes, the ability to specify the bass note in the Fingered and Fingered Advanced modes can be a real advantage when playing progressions like the example below. Try playing the example, and youll see what we mean. For details on two-note ngerings, see page 12.

Maintaining Effects When Multitrack Recording.
Normally, when multitrack recording youll select a voice for R1, record a track, then select a different R1 voice and record the next track. The problem is that when the results are played back the rst track will be played back without effects. The easiest solution is to use R2 for the second track instead of R1. That way the DSP effect used for the R1 tracks will be maintained even after the R2 track is recorded. When you play back a recording that has been made as described above, no DSP effects will be applied a panel voice you play on the keyboard. If you turn the panel DSP ON, however, the effect used in the song will be applied to the panel voice

Single-part Activation..

Press the LCD [F] button from the main display to turn only the R1 part on and all other parts off. In the same way, press the LCD [G] button to turn the R2 part on and all other parts off. If you assign the next voice you want to use to R2, for example, then while playing R1 you can press the LCD [G] button to instantly switch to R2 and the assigned voice. Furthermore, the DSP effect is not switched so you can seamlessly switch between voices while playing.

page 16 page 16

SMF Song Name Converter.
In the PSR-9000 and 9000Pro it has become possible to use lenames longer than the standard 8character limit. This means you can name les with complete song titles, for example, for easy identication. Because of the conventional 8-character limit many SMF Song les have le names made up of symbols and numbers, while the actual song title is embedded in the le and can only be viewed when the le is loaded and used. The SMF Song Name Converter feature resolves this problem by automatically extracting the embedded le name and attaching it as the le name. You can even bulk convert a number of les in one operation.

Try this technique if you want to learn the chord progression for a song, or apply Harmony/Echo effects or Vocal Harmony that match the song. Most songs will have one part which is playing the chord progression the rst step is to locate that part. While playing the song, turn the parts on and off, soloing each part until you nd the one that is playing the chord backing. Next, if the chord part is on Track 6, for example, Set the Mic Setup Chord parameter to TR6 and return to the main display page. The chord names should appear on the display as the song plays back. To learn the chord progression all you need to do is make a note of the chords that appear on the display. Turn Harmony/Echo ON if you want to add harmony to a part you play on the keyboard, or turn Vocal Harmony ON and select the Chordal Mode to produce appropriate vocal harmony. You might also want to memorize the settings with the song selection in the Registration Memory so that the next time you select that Registration Memory the Mic Setup Chord parameter settings will automatically be recalled.
Select Chordal Mode (CHORD) if you want Vocal Harmony effect.
Select the appropriate track.

page 70 page 82

Instant Access to Any Function Menu..
The 9000 lets you instantly call up function menus by simply pressing the [DIRECT ACCESS] button and a button or wheel associated with that function.
Lets say, for example, that you want to set the split points. First press the [DIRECT ACCESS] button and then press the [AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT] button.

Reducing Mic Sibilance..
Sibilant sound, such as spoken words that begin with the letter S, tend to sound over emphasized when sung through a microphone. To reduce this hissing effect, press the [MIC SETUP] button. In the 3 Band EQ section, the default setting of the high EQ is 8kHz/+5dB. Change this setting to 10kHz and reduce the gain (dB) to +3dB or whichever setting best suits your acoustic environment.

page 70

page 82

Mic Compressor..

Compression is an essential effect for a vocal microphone. It allows singing to be reproduced more clearly and smoothly by boosting the level of soft signals and lowering the level of loud signals. Press the [MIC SETUP] button to access the Mic Compressor. Try the singing with the compressor effect turned on and then compare singing with it turned off. Notice the difference?

Vocal Harmony Mode..

Vocal Harmony mode can be set to either Chordal mode (harmony is determined by chords played in the auto accompaniment or by chords contained in song data) or Vocoder mode (harmony is determined by the notes you play on the keyboard or by the Vocal Harmony track of a song). When this mode is set to AUTO, the Vocal Harmony setting changes automatically according to the situation. For example, if you play back a song le that contains a Vocal Harmony track, the Vocal Harmony setting will automatically switch to Vocoder mode. To access the Vocal Harmony setting, press the [MIC SETUP] button.

Talk Button...

This function is ideal for making announcements between your singing performances. When singing a song, several effects such as reverb, delay and vocal harmony are usually assigned to the MIC Setup. When speaking to your audience, however, these effects may sound disturbing. Whenever the [TALK] button is turned on, Delay and Vocal Harmony effects turn off and the amount of reverb lowers automatically. Talk settings can be customized as well, allowing you to add effects to your voice as you speak to your audience.

page 141 page 165

Password...

You can protect your oppy disks and hard drives with a password to prevent accidental data loss due to reformatting. To access this function, press the [DISK/SCSI] button and then select FORMAT and PASSWORD using the LCD buttons.

page 132 page 156

Simultaneous Parameter Change..
This convenient function allows you to simultaneously change all the parameter knobs of a specied row in the Mixing Console menu. Press and hold down the LCD button of a parameter you want to change (for example, any row of on-screen knobs in the VOL/EQ, FILT, EFF, DEPTH and TUNE menus) and use the Data dial to change the value.

page 122 page 144

Keyboard Transpose and Song Transpose..
Two types of transpose settings are available: Keyboard Transpose and Song Transpose. Keyboard Transpose changes the key of the keyboard as well as the chord accompaniment. Song Transpose changes the key of a song when played back from disk. The combination of these functions allows you to, for example, sing along in the key of E with a song thats been recorded in the key of D, while playing the keyboard in the key of C.

Using Multi Pads to Change Scale Tuning.
The Scale Tuning function allows you to create your own custom scale tunings such as those used in Arabic music. Up to four different scale tunings can be stored in Multi Pad Bank #60, allowing you to change tunings on the y as you are playing.

Song File Directory..

This unique function allows you to quickly access your favorite song les from a disk. Any directory, be it on a oppy disk, internal hard disk or external SCSI disk, can be assigned to one of the ve buttons on the LCD panel for one-touch access.

page 66 page 78

Song Selection via Registration Memory.
Not only can you use Registration Memory to change voices and styles, but also to select song les from a disk. Furthermore, you can use it to call up songs in your favorite key using the Song Transpose function.

pages 28 & 123 pages 28 & 145
Touch Limit for Harmony/Echo.
This function determines how hard the keyboard must be played in order for the Harmony/Echo effect to sound. The higher the value, the harder the keyboard must be played to apply the Harmony/Echo effect. This setting is useful for adding performance expression to a voice; for example, adding a tremolo effect to a mandolin voice when played at higher velocities.

page 140 page 164

Sub Line Out...
Next to the main stereo outputs are two (four on the 9000Pro) sub outputs, which can be used as either two single outputs or one stereo output. You can assign any part or parts, including the MIC signal and groups of drum sounds, to these outputs. If an audio cable is not plugged into a sub output jack, the signal of any part assigned to that output will be automatically routed to the main stereo outputs, which eliminates the hassle of reconguring the outputs whenever your playing environment changes. For further convenience, the output assignment is saved in Registration Memory and, if preferred, can be locked using the Parameter Lock function.

Setting Up

1 Set the INPUT VOLUME control to MIN. 2 Set the MIC/LINE panel switch to MIC 1 or MIC 2. 3 Connect a microphone to the MIC/ LINE IN jack of the PSR-9000. 4 Adjust the INPUT VOLUME control
This is a gain control for the microphone input signal. The MIC 1 setting boosts the signal, while the MIC 2 setting reduces it.
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 ashes occasionally. Then reduce the INPUT VOLUME just enough to keep the OVER indicator from ashing. This should be the optimum level setting. To hear the microphone input, make sure to set the MIC fader in the MAIN VOLUME display to an appropriate level.
Refer to the important notes and caution message on page 68.
Turn the INPUT VOLUME control all the way down when disconnecting a microphone.

The Multi Pads

Multi Pads
The PSR-9000 Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard performances.

Playing the Multi Pads

1 Use the M.PAD BANK [-]/[+] buttons to select a Multi Pad

This diagram illustrates the relationship among the style data stored to different types of memory. In addition to normal memory provisions, the PSR-9000 features special Flash ROM memory. Unlike conventional ROM, Flash ROM can be overwritten allowing you to store your own original data. A number of pre-programmed styles have been loaded to the Flash ROM; these are referred to below as Flash styles.

Accompaniment playback

See page 20. Storing your original style data to Flash ROM erases the factory programmed Flash style data (at the corresponding number locations). If you've deleted the factory-set data, you can use the Restore function (page 130) to load a copy of it from the included disks (page 6).

Disk Direct

See page 25.
Flash Style data can be loaded/saved with or without its One Touch Setting setups.
Preset styles are stored to conventional ROM. These are permanent and cannot be overwritten. However, you can use these as a basis for creating your own original styles with the Style Creator (page 104). Use the Style Manager functions (page 62) to backup and organize your original style data. Playing the disk styles can be done in two ways: 1) loading the style data to Flash ROM and playing it back as a Flash style, or 2) playing it back directly from disk, with the Disk Direct function (page 25).

Voices

The PSR-9000 has a huge selection of various musical instrument voices which you can play. Try out the different voices referring to the voice list at the end of this manual (page 166). For basic information on selecting voices, refer to page 16 in the Quick Guide.
Parts: Right1, Right2, Right3 and Left

For a major chord, press the root key only. For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
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.
q Multi Finger The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord ngerings, so you can use either type of ngering without having to switch ngering modes. q Fingered This mode lets you nger your own chords on the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard, while the PSR-9000 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected style. The Fingered mode recognizes the various chord types listed on the next page. q Fingered Pro This mode is basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that more than three notes must be played to indicate the chords. Playing the root note and its octave produces accompaniment based only on the root. q On Bass This mode accepts the same ngerings as the Fingered mode, but the lowest note played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play on bass chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the chord is always used as the bass note). q On Bass Pro This mode is basically the same as On Bass, with the exception that more than three notes must be played to indicate the chords. Playing the root note and its octave produces accompaniment based only on the root. q Full Keyboard When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged the PSR-9000 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You dont have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the Full Keyboard mode to get a feel for its capabilities.
The PSR-9000 recognizes chords you play in the Auto Accompaniment section of keyboard and produces appropriate chords, even if auto accompaniment is off (as long as the Left part is set to on). Chords are recognized according to the Fingered mode, even if the mode is actually set to Single Finger or Multi Finger. This setting is especially effective when used with the Vocal Harmony or the Harmony/ Echo.

MIDI Functions

Built into the rear panel of the PSR-9000 are two standard sets to MIDI terminals (MIDI IN A/B, MIDI OUT A/B), a TO HOST terminal, and a HOST SELECT switch. The MIDI Functions give you a comprehensive, powerful set of tools for expanding your music recording and performance possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your PSR9000.

Whats MIDI?

No doubt you have heard the terms acoustic instrument and digital instrument. In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Lets consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

MIDI data and its port assignment(s) is transmitted to the PSR-9000.

MIDI OUT B

THRU PORT Comments NO THRU All incoming MIDI data from the computer is recognized by the PSR-9000, but is not transmitted through the MIDI B OUT terminal. THRU All incoming MIDI data from the computer is recognized by the PSR-9000 and is also transmitted unprocessed through the MIDI B OUT terminal. In this case, the MIDI B OUT terminal functions as MIDI THRU. OFF Only MIDI data assigned to Port 1 from the computer is recognized by the PSR9000. The data is not transmitted through the MIDI B OUT terminal. Any MIDI data that is assigned to ports other than Port 1 is not recognized or transmitted. 1-8 Only MIDI data assigned to Port 1 from the computer is recognized by the PSR9000. The data that is assigned to the port number set here is transmitted through the MIDI B OUT terminal. Any MIDI data that is assigned to ports other than the one selected here and Port 1 is not recognized or transmitted.

The PSR-9000 offers a range of MIDI functions that allow it to be used effectively in even the most sophisticated MIDI systems.
Preset MIDI templates (Factory Set)
All Parts KBD & ACMP Transmits all parts including R1, R2, R3 and Left. Transmits Upper and Lower keyboard performance data, rather than that of the individual parts (R1, R2, R3, and Left). The PSR-9000 functions as a master keyboard for controlling external tone generators or other devices. The PSR-9000 functions as a master keyboard which does not transmit aftertouch data. MIDI IN A port receives MIDI clock data, allowing you to synchronize the PSR-9000 with an external MIDI device. An ideal setup for controlling the keyboard and accompaniment by a MIDI accordion. The chord and bass buttons on a MIDI accordion are used to control the accompaniment, as well as play the chord and bass parts. A MIDI pedal keyboard connected to the MIDI IN B port controls the bass note of the accompaniment. A MIDI pedal keyboard connected to the MIDI IN B port plays the bass part. No MIDI signals are sent or received.
