Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc)
This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data youve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. Be sure to handle USB storage device with care. Follow the important precautions below. n For more information about the handling of USB storage device, refer to the owners manual of the USB storage device.
Using USB Storage Devices
When connecting a USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE], make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction. 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).
Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument freezing or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, 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.
Compatible USB storage devices
Up to two USB storage devices, such as a oppy disk drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, ash memory reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be used with musical instruments simultaneously even when a USB hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can recognize up to four drives in one USB storage device. Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used. The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase.

The PSR-OR700 has a Voice Set feature that allows you to create your own Voices by editing some parameters of the existing Voices. Once youve created a Voice, you can save it as a User Voice to the USER/(USB) for future recall. The editing method is different for the ORGAN FLUTES Voices and for other Voices.

SINGLE FINGER

Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback. The abbreviated chord ngerings described at right are used:
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.

MULTI FINGER FINGERED

Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord ngerings, so you can use either type of ngering without having to switch ngering types. Lets you nger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard, while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type recognizes the various chord types which are listed on the Data List available at the Yamaha website (page 5) and can be looked up using the Chord Tutor function (page 50). Accepts the same ngerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord 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). Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).

FINGERED ON BASS

FULL KEYBOARD

AI FINGERED

AI: Articial Intelligence
AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced ngering type is engaged, the instrument 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 Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback.

Edit the selected Style.

Changing the Rhythmic Feel (GROOVE)
The explanation here applies when you select the GROOVE tab in step 4 of Basic Operation for Editing Styles (page 120).
Press the [A]/[B] button to select the edit menu (page 122).
Use the [1][8] buttons to edit the data. For details on editable parameters, see page 122. Press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to actually enter the edits for each display. After the operation is completed, you can execute the edition and this button changes to UNDO, letting you restore the original data if youre not satised with the Groove or Dynamics results. The Undo function only has one level; only the previous operation can be undone. Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data. Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 67).
CAUTION The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or you turn the power off without executing the Save operation (page 67).
GROOVE This lets you add swing to the music or change the feel of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style.
ORIGINAL BEAT Species the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if 8 Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if 12 Beat is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. Actually changes the timing of the beats (specied in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to 8 Beat and BEAT CONVERTER is set to 12, all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The 16A and 16B Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to 12 Beat are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. Produces a swing feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specied ORIGINAL BEAT value is 8 Beat, the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings A through E produce different degrees of swing, with A being the most subtle and E being the most pronounced. Selects a variety of Groove templates to be applied to the selected section. The PUSH settings cause certain beats to be played early, while HEAVY settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specied beat but not including the rst beat will be played early or delayed (for example, 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 maximum effect.

2 Use the [1][8] buttons to turn each channel on or off. If you want to play back only one particular channel (muting all other channels), press and hold down one of the [1][8] buttons corresponding to the desired channel. To cancel solo playback, press the same button again.
Recording Your Performance to MIDI
You can record your own performances and save them to the User tab display or a USB storage device. Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording which lets you record performance conveniently and quickly, Multi track Recording which lets you record several different parts to multiple channels, and Step Recording which lets you enter notes one by one. And since the recorded data is MIDI, you can easily edit your songs, too. For details on MIDI, see page 174, What is MIDI?

Recording Methods

There are three methods as shown below.
Realtime Recording Quick Recording See below.
This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. You can record to the [TR 1 (R)] or [TR 2 (L)] button, and also to the [EXTRA TR (STYLE)] track, which can be used for recording at the same time. This lets you record a whole Song including several different instrument parts, to create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over already-recorded parts of an existing Song (Preset Song or a Song on USB storage device) with your own performance.
This method lets you compose your performance by writing it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual recording method similar to writing music notation onto paper. You can input notes, chords and other events one by one (realtime performance is not needed).
Multi track Recording page 145
You can also edit Songs after theyve been recorded (page 158). For example, you can edit specic notes one by one, or you can use the Punch In/ Out function to re-record a specic part.

Harmony/Echo Types

The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied.
Harmony Types These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specied in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the 1+5 and Octave settings are not affected by the chord.) Multi Assign Type This type applies a special effect to chords played in the righthand section of the keyboard.
Echo Types These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo.
Canceling the chord sound for the harmony effect This cancels the sound of the chord played in the chord range of the keyboard letting you hear only the Harmony effect. Set [ACMP] to On, set [SYNC START] to Off, and select Off for the Stop Accompaniment parameter.
Harmony Types When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type
selected above and the chord specied in the chord section of the keyboard shown below.

Split point

Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Split Point (for Style) Split Point (for keyboard Voice)
Left Voice and chord section for Harmony effect

Right 1 Right 2 Voices

Chord section Left Voice for Style playback and Harmony effect
Multi Assign Type Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously in the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play. Echo Types When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.

BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the lter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound.

Volume Cutoff frequency

These frequencies are passed by the lter.

NOTE LIMIT This sets the note range (highest and lowest notes) for voices recorded to the style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the voices sound as realistic as possible in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). The actual notes that sound are automatically shifted to the set range.
Example When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4.

CM E3-G3-C4

C#M F3-G#3-C#4

TRANSMIT display

LOCAL CONTROL Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to ON, the keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to OFF, the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instruments tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instruments internal voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator. Clock setting, etc. CLOCK Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instruments MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as Ext. in the Main display.

TRANSMIT CLOCK Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back.

MIDI Transmit Settings

The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT display to be called up in step 4 of the Basic Operation on page 177. This determines which parts will be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent.
Operation Select the part to be transmitted and the channel via which the selected part will be transmitted. You can also determine the types of data to be sent.
With the exception of the next two parts, the conguration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in this manual. UPPER The keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT1 and/ or 2). LOWER The keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP] button.
Tx MONITOR The dots corresponding to each channel (1-16) ash briey whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s).
When different parts are assigned to the same transmit channel If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device.
KEYBOARD The received note messages control the instruments keyboard performance. EXTRA PART 1-5 There are ve parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not used by the instrument itself. The PSR-OR700 can be used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by using these ve parts in addition to the general parts. Rx MONITOR The dots corresponding to each channel (116) ash briey whenever any data is received on the channel(s).
About the protected Songs Write-protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 116 are set to be transmitted.
