BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Power Supply

Your PSR-200orPSR-300will run either from batteries or an optional power adapter. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.

Using Batteries

Six 1.5V D size (SUM-1orR-20)or equivalent batteries must first be installed in the battery compartment.

Before replacing the batteries, make sure that the power is turned off. During battery replacement the memory will be backed up for approximately 1 minute.

1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.

2. Insert the six batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the cabinet.

3. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

*The included batteries are for testing purposes. Their service life might be considerably shortened due to storage conditions, etc.

Caution:

1.When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.

2.Do not use different kinds of batteries at the same time.

3.In case electrolyte has leaked into the battery compartment, wipe it off completely before installing new batteries.

4.To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

Auto Power OFF

To prevent unnecessary battery drainage, the PSR-200/PSR-300 features an Auto Power OFF function that automatically turns the power OFF if the instrument is not used for approximately 10 minutes.

The Auto Power OFF function does not operate when the PSR-200/PSR-300is powered from an optional AC Power Adaptor, as described below.

Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor

Plug the DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-3,PA-4,orPA-40AC Power Adaptor into the DC IN jack on the rear panel of thePSR-200/PSR-300,then plug the AC Power Adaptor into a convenient wall AC power socket.

The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used. Disconnect the AC Power Adaptor when not using your PSR-200/PSR-300.

Use ONLY a YamahaPA-3,PA-4,orPA-40AC Power Adaptor to power your instrument from the AC mains. Other adaptors may cause serious damage to yourPSR-200/PSR-300.

Setting Up the Music Stand

Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear of the PSR-200/PSR-300control panel.

Maintenance

Location

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. Never leave it inside a car where it can get very hot. It may cause discoloration or deformation. Vibration, excessive dust, cold, low or high humidity can also cause malfunction.

Handling

Avoid rough handling. Don’t drop or jolt the PSR-200/300as this can damage the internal circuitry. Pressing too hard on keys or controls may lead to malfunctions. When cords are plugged into the rear panel jacks, pay particular attention not to apply excessive force to them since this may damage the terminals.

Cleaning

Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Using chemical solvents will damage the finish.

Interference Through Electromagnetic Fields

Do not use your PSR-200/300close to television sets or other equipment receiving electromagnetic signals as this could cause interference noise in the other appliance.

Service and Modifications

Your PSR-200/300contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in any way can lead to electrical shock as well as damage. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.

YAMAHA is NOT responsible for damage caused by improper use.

DC IN Jack

The DC output cord from an optional Yamaha PA-3,PA-4,orPA-40AC Power Adaptor should be plugged in here when thePSR-200orPSR-300is to be powered from the AC mains supply (refer to “Power Supply” on page 1 for more details).

HEADPHONES/AUX. OUT Jack

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-nightplaying. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the HEADPHONES jack. The HEADPHONFS/AUX. OUT jack can also be used to deliver the output of thePSR-200/PSR-300to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console or tape recorder.

MIDI IN and OUT Connectors(PSR-300only)

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-300.The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by thePSR-300(e.g. note and velocity dam produced by playing the keyboard).

More details on MIDI are given in “MOVING UP TO MIDI” on page 14.

SELECTING AND PLAYING VOICES

1. Press the [POWER] button to turn the power ON. The MULTI DISPLAY will light when the power is ON.

2. Slide the [MASTER VOLUME] control to a position about half way between the “MIN” and “MAX” setting.

You can set this control for the most comfortable volume level after you begin playing.

3. If the VOICE indicator is not lit, press the [VOICE/ STYLE] button once so that it does light. The number of the currently selected voice will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY when the VOICE indicator is lit.

4. Select any of thePSR-200/PSR-300’s100 voices by using one of the following methods:

Voice Selection Method 1:

Choose one of the 100 voices — numbered “00” through “99” — shown on the VOICE LIST then enter its number using the numeric VOICE SELECT buttons. To select “ELECTRIC ORGAN 1” (number 12), for example, first press “1” and then “2.” The number “12” should then appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.

Voice Selection Method 2:

The [+] and [-]buttons in the numeric button group can be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease by one) the current voice number. Press the [+] button briefly to select the voice one number higher than the current voice, or the[-]button to select the voice one number lower than the current voice. If you hold the [+] or[-]button down, the voice number will increment or decrement continuously — simply release the button when the desired voice number has been reached.

5. The selected voice can now be played on the instrument’s keyboard.

Note that thePSR-300’skeyboard is “touch response” — that is, you can control the loudness of the sound to a certain degree according to how hard you play the keys. The degree of touch sensitivity is different for each voice.

ThePSR-200andPSR-300feature a maximum polyphony of28-notes(depending in some cases on the selected voice), so up to 28 notes can be played simultaneously, including extra notes played when the automatic accompaniment, split, or dual voice features of this instrument are used. “Full” will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY if the28-notelimit is exceeded.

When the power is initially turned ON, the PIANO voice is automatically selected and its number (“00”) is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY.

Keyboard Percussion

When the DRUMS voice is selected (voice number 99), you can play 25 different drum and percussion instruments on the black keys. The percussion instruments played by the various keys are marked by symbols above the black keys (the white keys produce no sound).

The TRANSPOSE function described on page 5 does not affect the DRUMS sound.

DRUM & PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT KEY ASSIGNMENTS

Adjusting the Volume

Adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] control while playing to set the desired overall volume level.

SUSTAIN

Press the [SUSTAIN] button once (the indicator will light) and notes played on the keyboard will decay gradually after you lift your fingers from the keys. Press the [SUSTAIN] button a second time (the indicator will go out) to turn the sustain effect off.

DUAL (PSR-300only)

The SUSTAIN effect cannot be applied to accompaniment or rhythm,

When the PSR-300DUAL function is engaged, sustain is applied to both voices.

Sustain can be applied independently to the leftandright-handvoices in the split mode (see “The Split Mode” on page 6). Press a key to the right of the split point to select theright-handvoice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select theleft-handvoice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice.

Sustain can be turned on or off for the melody voice during DEMO playback.

Sustain does not affect voice 97 (VOICE BOX) and voice 99 (DRUMS).

The PSR-300DUAL feature makes it possible to select and play two different voices simultaneously.

To activate the DUAL feature press the [DUAL ON/OFF] button (the indicator will light). When ON, the voice selected prior to turning the DUAL feature ON will sound simultaneously with a second “dual” voice. When the PSR-300is initially turned ON, the STAR LIGHT 2 voice (number 80) is assigned as the dual voice. Any other voice can be selected as the dual voice while the DUAL feature is ON.

The DUAL feature can be turned OFF by pressing the [DUAL ON/OFF] button again.

When the DUAL function is used with the SPLIT mode (see page 6) different dual voices can be assigned to the leftandright-handsections of the keyboard. Press a key to the right of the split point to select theright-handvoice, then turn DUAL on and select the righthand dual voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select theleft-handvoice, then turn DUAL on and select theleft-handdual voice.

When the SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED accompaniment mode is selected, the DUAL feature applies only to the right-handsection of the keyboard.

The PSR-200/PSR-300[TRANSPOSE] buttons makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of thePSR-200/PSR-300keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

Yamaha Psr E233 Manual

andbuttons are used for transposition. The first time the TRANSPOSEorbutton is pressed the current transpose value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current transpose value is still showing on the display, press the TRANSPOSEbutton to increase the pitch of the keyboard, or thebutton to lower the pitch The selected degree of transposition will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY while the TRANSPOSEor button is pressed, and for approximately 2 seconds after either TRANSPOSE button is released.

The transposition range is from -12to +12, with-12corresponding to downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave, and +12 corresponding to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 0 is the “normal” keyboard pitch value. The normal transpose value (0) can be recalled at any time by pressing

andbuttons at the same time.

The transpose value is automatically set to 0 whenever the power switch is turned ON.

THE SPLIT MODE

The PSR-200/PSR-300SPLIT mode allows you to play two voices at once — one with the left hand and one with the right. Theleft-handvoice can be played to the left of the “split point,” set as described below, and theright-handvoice can be played to the right of the split point.

1. Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SPLIT indicator lights — this selects the SPLIT mode.

2. If necessary, set the split point as described below:

Setting the SPLIT Mode Split Point:

The split point for the SPLIT mode is initially set at the C3 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-pointkey while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button.

The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The C3 key, for example, would be displayed as “C3”.

F#2 would be displayed as “F-2”.The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the “F” and the “2.”

The SPLIT mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SPLIT mode is selected.

Note that the split-pointkey is included in therighthand section of the keyboard.

To initialize the split point to its original default value, turn the [POWER] button on while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The SINGLE FINGER and FINGERED split points (described later) are also initialized by this procedure.

3. Select theright-handandleft-handvoices as required. When the SPLIT mode is first selected the current voice

is assigned to the right-handkeys. If no otherleft-handvoice has been selected since thePSR-200/PSR-300was turned ON, the ELECTRIC BASS voice (number 82) will be assigned to theleft-handkeys.

Theleft-handvoice isoctave-shiftedto provide the best sound in theleft-handrange.

Changing the Right and Left-handVoices:

Make sure the [VOICE/STYLE] button VOICE indicator is lit (press the [VOICE/STYLE] button once if it isn’t).

To change the right-handvoice press a key to the right of the split point. The currentright-handvoice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a new righthand voice can be selected in the normal way.

To change the left-handvoice press a key to the left of the split point. The currentleft-handvoice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a newleft-handvoice can be selected in the normal way.

When playing in the SPLIT mode, the MULTI DISPLAY will switch between the leftandright-handvoice numbers according to whether notes are played on the leftorright-handsection of the keyboard. ThePSR-300DUAL indicator flashes according to the leftand righthand section DUAL mode settings when the SPLIT and DUAL modes are used together.

RHYTHM ACCOMPANIMENT

Selecting an Accompaniment Style

1. If the STYLE indicator is not lit, press the [VOICE/ STYLE] button once so that it does light. The number of the currently selected style will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY when the STYLE indicator is lit.

2. Select any of thePSR-200/PSR-300’s50 accompaniment styles by using one of the two following methods:

1: Choose one of the 50 accompaniment styles — numbered “00” through “49” — shown on the STYLE LIST then enter its number using the numeric VOICE/STYLE buttons. To select FUSION1 (number 27), for example, first press “2” and then “7.” The number “27” should then be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY.

2: The [+] and[-]buttons in the VOICE/STYLE group can be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease by one) the current accompaniment style number. Press the [+] button briefly to select the accompaniment style one number higher than the current accompaniment style, or the[-]button to select the accompaniment style one number lower than the current accompaniment style. If you hold the [+] or[-]button down, the accompaniment style number will increment or decrement continuously – simply release the button when the desired accompaniment style number has been reached.

When the power is initially turned ON, the 00 DANCE1 style is automatically selected.

Setting the Tempo

The first time the TEMPO orbutton is pressed the current tempo will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current tempo value is still showing on the display, press the TEMPObutton to increase the tempo, or the TEMPObutton to decrease the tempo. The selected tempo will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY (inquarter-notebeats per minute) while the TEMPOorbutton is pressed, and for approximately 2 seconds after either TEMPO button is released.

The available tempo range is from 40 to 240 beats per minute. Each accompaniment style has a different “default” tempo which is automatically set whenever a new style is selected (but not when a new style is selected while the accompaniment is playing). The default tempo for the currently selected accompaniment style can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO andbuttons at the same time.

The tempo is automatically set to the default value for the DANCE1 style whenever the power switch is turned ON.

It is also possible to adjust the tempo after starting playback of the accompaniment. This allows you to set the optimum tempo by ear.

Starting the Accompaniment

Press the [START/STOP] button to start the selected accompaniment immediately, or press the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button if you want the accompaniment to start when you play the first note on the keyboard. If you press the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button, the three dots along the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY will flash at the selected tempo.

The three LED dots at the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY provide a visual indication of the selected tempo as follows:

1st. Beat

2nd. Beat

3rd. Beat

4th. Beat

If neither the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected, the accompaniment will consist only of rhythm (drums & percussion) sounds. Operation of the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT SINGLE FINGER and FINGERED modes is described on page 9 and 10.

A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the accompaniment is playing. The style number display will change as soon as the selection is made, but the new style will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The tempo will not change when the new style begins playing.

RHYTHM ACCOMPANIMENT

Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction

Any of the PSR-200/PSR-300accompaniment patterns can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. The intro pattern will repeat as long as the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is held. Once the button is released, the normal pattern will begin playing from the top of the next measure.

Adding Fill-ins

To add a short fill-in(rhythm variation) at any time while the accompaniment is playing, press the [INTRO/FILL IN] button. If you hold the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, thefill-inpattern will repeat until the button is released, then the normal rhythm will begin from the beginning of the next measure.

If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a beat, the fill in will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the fill in will begin on the beginning of the next beat.

Stopping the Accompaniment

An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing the [START/STOP] button, or it can be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button.

Adjusting the Accompaniment

Volume

Although the MASTER VOLUME control can be used to set the overall volume level, the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME andbuttons can be used to adjust the volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to theright-handmelody voice. The fist time the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUMEorbutton is pressed the current volume will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current volume is still showing on the display, press the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUMEbutton to increase the volume, or thebutton to decrease the volume. The selected volume level will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY while the volume is being adjusted, and for approximately 2 seconds after either VOLUME button is released.

The volume range is from 0 to 24, with 0 being the lowest volume and 24 the highest. The default accompaniment volume value (21) can be recalled at any time by pressing both the ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME andbuttons at the same time.

The accompaniment volume is automatically set to 21 whenever the power switch is turned ON.

If the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button is pressed within one 1/4 beat from the beginning of a measure, the ending will begin immediately. If pressed at any other time the ending will begin on the beginning of the next measure.

If the [INTRO/FILL IN] button is pressed while the ending pattern is playing, afill-inwill be played, followed by a return to the normal pattern.

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

The PSR-200/PSR-300includes a sophisticated Auto accompaniment system that can provide automated bass and chordal backing in a number of ways.

The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on thePSR-200/PSR-300keyboard is reduced when the Auto Accompaniment feature is used.

Single Finger Accompaniment

SINGLE FINGER accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh‚ minor and minor-seventhchords by pressing a minimum number of keys in theleft-handsection of the keyboard. The bass and chord accompaniment produced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment style.

1. Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SINGLE FINGER indicator lights — this selects the SINGLE FINGER mode.

2. If necessary, set the split point as described below:

Setting the SINGLE FINGER Mode Split Point:

The split point for the SINGLE FINGER mode is initially set at the D2 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-pointkey while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button.

The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The D2 key, for example, would be displayed as “d 2”.

F#2 would be displayed as “F-2”.The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the “F” and the “2.”

The SINGLE FINGER mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SINGLE FINGER mode is selected. A method of initializing the SINGLE FINGER mode split point to its original default value is described on page 6.

3. Select the desired accompaniment style in the normal way. Although you can select the melody (upper keyboard) voice you intend to use, thePSR-200/PSR-300automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment part according the accompaniment style you select.

4. Press the [START/STOP] button, [SYNCHRO START/ ENDING] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] buttons to determine how the accompaniment will be started (see page 7). If you press the [START/STOP] button or the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, the rhythm will begin playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment.

5. Press any key to the left of the split point to start the automatic accompaniment. If you press a “C” key, for example, aC-majoraccompaniment will be played. Press another key in theleft-handsection of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key you press will always determine the “root” of the chord played (i.e. “C” for a C chord).

Playing Minor, Seventh, and Minor-seventh

Chords in the Single-fingerMode

For a minor chord, press the root key and a black key to its left.

For a seventh chord, press the root key and a white key to its left.

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

The automatic accompaniment will continue playing even if you lift your fingers from the Auto Accompaniment keys. You only need to press the Auto Accompaniment keys when changing cords.

6. Press the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button to stop the Accompaniment.

AUTO HARMONY

This sophisticated feature automatically adds appropriate harmony notes to a melody you play on the keyboard. You can choose from 5 different types of harmony.

Only a single note can be played at a time on the keyboard (or theright-handsection of the keyboard when in the SPLIT mode) when the AUTO HARMONY feature is used.

1. Use the [AUTO HARMONY] buttons to select a harmony type between “01” and “05.”

The first time the AUTO HARMONY orbutton is pressed the current harmony type number will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current harmony type is still showing on the display, press the AUTO HARMONYbutton briefly to increment (increase by one) the harmony type number, or thebutton to dec- rement (decrease by one) the harmony type number. Holding either button causes continuous incrementing or decrementing. The selected harmony type number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY while the [AUTO HARMONY]orbutton is pressed (the letter “H” will appear before the harmony type number).

PSR-200/PSR-300Harmony Types

00 OFF

01 DUET

02 TRIO

03 BLOCK

04 COUNTRY

05 OCTAVE

The OFF setting can be selected at any time by pressing both the [AUTO HARMONY] buttons simultaneously.

2. Play.

In the SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED mode, the left-handchords determine the harmony notes that will be applied to theright-handmelody.

In the NORMAL mode, all harmony is based on a C major chord.

If AUTO HARMONY is used at the same time as the SPLIT feature (see page 6) harmony will be not be applied to the lefthand voice. Left-handchord fingerings are used to determine the harmony applied to theright-handvoice. Usable fingerings are the same as for the FINGERED mode.

If AUTO HARMONY is used at the same time as the DUAL feature (see page 5) harmony will be not be applied to the second “dual” voice.

If the synchro start mode is turned off by pressing the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button prior to playing, right-handmelody and harmony without accompaniment can be produced

— but the left-handchords will still have to be fingered to produce the appropriate harmony.

THE CHORD MEMORY

The PSR-200/PSR-300CHORD MEMORY allows you to “record” and play back chord sequences created using the Auto Accompaniment feature. You can record a complete accompaniment part, for example, and then play along with it using both hands — you’re free to use the entire keyboard for your performance rather than being limited to only the upper keyboard area.

The CHORD MEMORY also has three separate “banks” that can be used to record different accompaniments. The banks can be “chained” — i.e. they will play back in any specified order. This allows you to record a verse and chorus in different banks, for example, then “chain” them in the desired order for playback.

Chord sequences containing a maximum of 60 different chords can be recorded in each bank.

Material recorded using the CHORD MEMORY is retained in memory even when the POWER switch is turned OFF (if batteries are present).

Recording

1. Pick out an accompaniment style that is appropriate for the type of music you want to record.

2. Press the [BANK 1], [BANK 2], or [BANK 3] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. This engages the “record ready” mode for the selected bank. The bank indicator will flash, the metronome will sound, and the three dots along the bottom of the MULTI DISPLAY will flash at the currently selected tempo. Press the [REC] button again if you want to disengage the record ready mode and perform some other function.

If the NORMAL or SPLIT mode is selected, the FINGERED mode is automatically selected when the record ready mode is engaged. If the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected, no change occurs.

3. Before actually beginning to record, you should set a tempo that will be easy to record at using the [TEMPO] buttons.

4. Recording will begin as soon as you play a chord on theleft-handsection of the keyboard (SYNCHRO START operation).

Recording can also be started by pressing the [START/ STOP] or [INTRO/FILL IN] button. In this case on the rhythm will begin without bass and chord accompaniment until you play the first chord on the left-handsection of the keyboard.

5. Play the required chords.

6. Press either the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button to stop recording.

Events recorded by the chord memory are: Style Number, Chord Timing, Chords, Intro, Fill In, Ending.

Whenever you record using the CHORD MEMORY, any previously recorded material in the same bank will be erased.

If you make a mistake while recording, simply press the [START/ STOP] button and begin again from step 2, above.

If the AC power adaptor is disconnected with no batteries inserted, the contents of the memory will be lost.

If the chord memory becomes full while recording, “End” will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.

1. Press the [BANK 1], [BANK 2], or [BANK 3] button to begin playback of that bank. If you press a different BANK button during playback, playback of the newly selected bank will begin from the top of the next measure.

2. Play along on thePSR-200/PSR-300keyboard if you like. You can also addfill-insusing the [INTRO/FILL IN] button, or change the tempo during playback.

3. Playback will stop automatically when the end of the recorded sequence is reached if the [SYNCHRO START/ ENDING] button was used to stop recording, otherwise the chord sequence will be repeated until stopped by either the [START/STOP] or [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button.

1. Press the [CHAIN] button while playback is stopped to engage the “chain ready mode.” You can disengage the chain ready mode by pressing the [CHAIN] button again.

2. Press the [BANK 1], [BANK 2], and [BANK 3] buttons in the order that you want them to play back — up to 8 steps can be programmed. A synthesized voice will announce the order of the programmed banks each time a BANK button is pressed. The voice will stop if you attempt to program more than 8 steps.

3.

4. Playback will stop automatically when an ending is encountered (i.e. the [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button was used to stop recording), otherwise the entire chain will be repeated until stopped by either the [START/ STOP] or [SYNCHRO START/ENDING] button.

A previously recorded chain can be played simply by pressing the [CHAIN] button and then the [START/STOP] button.

The contents of the CHAIN memory is retained even when the power is turned off.

MOVING UP TO MIDI

A Brief Introduction to MIDI

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a worldstandard communication interface that allows MIDI-compat-ible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.

The PSR-300MIDI Connectors

The PSR-300MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control thePSR-300.The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by thePSR-300(e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).

Simple MIDI Control

Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-300,of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard. The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once, providing thickmulti-instrumentsounds. ThePSR-300also transmits “program change” data when one of its voices is selected. Depending on how the receiving device is set up, the corresponding voice will be automatically selected on the receiving keyboard or tone generator whenever a voice is selected on thePSR-300.

The PSR-300is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a second MIDI keyboard connected to thePSR-300MIDI IN connector can be used to remotely play thePSR-300and select voices as required.

(PSR-300only)

MIDI Sequence Recording

The same type of musical information transfer described above is used for MIDI sequence recording. A MIDI sequence recorder can be used to “record” MIDI data received from a PSR-300,for example. When the recorded data is played back, thePSR-300automatically “plays” the recorded performance in precise detail.

PSR-300MIDI Settings &

Functions

The Remote Control Mode

The Remote Control mode should be used when the PSR300 is to be connected to a second keyboard which it is to control. If the PSR-300is being used as the receiving device, it can be played from an external keyboard while the panel controls — including auto accompaniment — operate normally.

Remote Control Mode Selection

The Remote Control mode is automatically selected whenever the PSR-300is turned ON. If the Multi Voice Mode has been selected (see below), however, the Remote Control mode can bere-selectedby pressing the numeric VOICE/STYLE [0] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. “rc” will appear on the display.

Remote Control Mode Reception

The following points apply to MIDI data received by the PSR-300in the Remote Control mode.

MIDI start messages control PSR-300rhythm, chord memory record start, and chain play start in the same way as the panel [START/STOP] button.

MIDI stop messages have the same effect as pressing the panel [START/STOP] button when a function is running.

OMNI ON means that reception can occur simultaneously on all available channels (1 through 16). When a single receive channel is selected, reception only occurs on the specified channel.

In addition to note and velocity data, the PSR-300responds to program change, sustain ON/OFF, start, stop, and MIDI clock messages.

Transpose settings affect received MIDI note numbers.

If the TEMPO or button is pressed during external sync mode is engaged, “EC” (External Clock) will appear on the display.

External synchronization is automatically selected when MIDI clock is received. If the external MIDI clock data is not received, internal clock operation is automatically resumed.

Velocity sensitivity is dependent on the selected voice.

*Refer to the Remote Control Mode “MIDI Implementation Chart” on page 34 for more details.

Remote Control Mode Transmission

The following points apply to MIDI data transmitted by the PSR-300in the Remote Control mode.

Transmitted note numbers are not affected by the Transpose setting.

In the NORMAL or SPLIT mode, all keyboard data is transmitted via the specified MIDI transmit channel. When the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is used, only MIDI data corresponding to notes played on the right-handsection of the keyboard is transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector on the specified MIDI transmit channel.

Remote Control Mode MIDI Transmission

Normal Mode

SPLIT Mode

Data from the leftand right-handsections of the keyboard is mixed and transmitted over the same MIDI channel.

FINGERED, SINGLE FINGER Mode

Data from the left-handsection of the keyboard is not transmitted.

MOVING UP TO MIDI (PSR-300only)

The MIDI program change number corresponding to the number of the selected voice is transmitted when a voice is selected.

A MIDI START message is transmitted whenever the rhythm or accompaniment is started, and a MIDI STOP message is transmitted whenever the rhythm or accompaniment is stopped. The same applies to demo and chord memory start/stop operations.

Accompaniment style, demo, chord memory, and transpose data is not transmitted.

*Refer to the Remote Control Mode “MIDI Implementation Chart” on page 34 for more details.

The Multi Mode

The Multi mode should be used when the PSR-300is to be used as a tone generator, for example, receiving data from a second MIDI device (such as a sequencer). In this mode thePSR-300can receive on multiple MIDI channels, each channel corresponding to a different voice. ThePSR-300panel controls will not function when the Multi mode is selected.

Multi Mode Selection

If the Remote Control mode is currently selected, the Multi mode can be re-selectedby pressing the numeric VOICE/STYLE [0] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button.will appear on the display.

nMulti Mode Reception

In the Multi mode the PSR-300functions as a multi-

timbre tone generator, allowing different voices to played on all 16 MIDI channels (channel 16 is reserved for rhythm only). Since the PSR-300employs the Yamaha Dynamic Voice Allocation system, it is not necessary to specify the number of notes that can be played via each channel. A maximum of 28 notes can be played simultaneously via all channels.

MIDI note and velocity messages received on a MIDI channel will affect only the voice selected for that channel.

Velocity sensitivity for each voice is set to a dynamic range of 48 dB linear.

SUSTAIN ON/OFF messages are ignored.

A program change number will select the voice controlled via the channel on which it is received. The new voice number is shown on the display for approximately 2 seconds. The program change number is the same as the voice number (00 — 99).

Program change messages on channel 16 are ignored.

MIDI start, stop, and clock data will be ignored.

*Refer to the Multi Mode “MIDI Implementation Chart” on page 35 for more details.

Multi Mode Transmission

The default transmit channel in the Multi mode is the same as that in the Remote Control mode, and can be set via the same procedure (see below). The transmitted data is also the same as in the Remote Control mode, except that no MIDI start/stop message transmission occurs.

Keyboard note ON/OFF data is transmitted via the specified MIDI transmit channel, but the internal tone generator does not sound (LOCAL OFF).

The transmitted note numbers are not affected by the instruments TRANSPOSE setting.

When a new voice is selected, the corresponding MIDI program change message is transmitted on the specified MIDI transmit channel. The internal voice assigned to that transmit channel will also change accordingly. The program change number is the same as the voice number.

The channel-16program change number will not be transmitted.

Refer to the Multi-modeMIDI Implementation Chart” on page 35 for more details.

MIDI Receive Channel Selection

Press the numeric VOICE/STYLE [2] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. The current MIDI receive channel number or “ALL” will appear on the display. While still holding the [REC] button press the key corresponding to the desired receive channel (C1 .. E2), confirm that the desired channel has been selected on the MULTI DISPLAY, then release the [REC] button. The E2 key selects the OMNI ON mode — “ALL” appears on the display.

The receive channel setting only applies in the remote control mode.

MIDI Receive Channel Selection

Press the numeric VOICE/STYLE [1] button while holding the CHORD MEMORY [REC] button. The current MIDI transmit channel number will appear on the display. While still holding the [REC] button press the key corresponding to the desired transmit channel (C1 confirm that the desired channel has been selected on the MULTI DISPLAY, then release the [REC] button.

The transmit channel is automatically set to channel 1 and the receive channel is automatically set to OMNI ON when the power is initially turned ON.

If MIDI note numbers higher than C#6 are received when the DRUMS voice is selected (in either the Remote Control or Multi mode), the corresponding percussion sounds are produced.

C#6 = Voice “Five”

D#6 = Voice “Six”

F#6 = Voice “Seven”

G#6 = Voice “Eight'

A#6 = Click Lo

C#7 = Click Hi

Data received via the MIDI IN connector is not retransmitted via the MIDI OUT connector (i.e. noecho-back)in either the Remote Control or Multi mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Something not working as it should? In many cases what appears to be a malfunction can be traced to a simple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PSR-200/PSR-300is faulty, please check the following points.

1. PROBLEM

ThePSR-200/PSR-300speakers produce a “pop” sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF.

CHECK

This is normal and is no cause for alarm.

2. PROBLEM

No sound.

CHECK

Yamaha Psr-3 Manual 2017

Are the MASTER VOLUME control and accompaniment volume levels turned up high enough?

3. PROBLEM

Rhythm won’t start or no rhythm sound.

CHECK

Is the accompaniment volume turned up high enough? Are you sure you pressed the START button? Perhaps the PSR-200/PSR-300is in the SYNCHRO START mode, so all you have to do is start playing.

4. PROBLEM

Auto accompaniment won’t function. No lower keyboard sound.

CHECK

Auto accompaniment won’t function if the FINGERED mode is selected and you’re using SINGLE FINGER type fingering or improper chord fingering.

Are you sure you’re playing in theleft-handsection of the keyboard when the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode is selected?

Theleft-handsection of the keyboard will produce no sound if synchro start is disengaged in the FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER mode.

5. PROBLEM

The accompaniment key changes while you’re playing.

CHECK

Perhaps you accidentally pressed a key in theleft-handrange.

6. PROBLEM

Auto accompaniment chords don’t seem to change properly.

CHECK

Are you playing chords that thePSR-200/PSR-300can recognize (see fingering chart on page 19)?

7. PROBLEM

The sound is distorted or intermittent.

CHECK

In this case, your batteries are probably flat and need replacement.

TROUBLESHOOTING

8. PROBLEM

Sustain produces little or no effect.

CHECK

The sustain effect may not sound as deep as it normally does when used during accompaniment or demo playback. This is normal.

9. PROBLEM

Abnormal operation not listed above. Complete lack of control.

CHECK

The internal microprocessor may have been “locked up” due to static electricity or other causes. Turn the instrument OFF for a minute or so, then turn it ON again.

If the power can not be turned off by using the [POWER] button, remove the batteries and/or unplug the AC power adaptor.
