PSR-2100/1100

Connections

•

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Maintenance

•

When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

•

Do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

•

Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

•

Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

•

Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the b uttons, s witches or connectors.

•

Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

•

Some of the current memory data (see page 42) is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a ﬂoppy disk/the User Drive (see page 39, 47). Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a ﬂoppy disk.

When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the separate Data List booklet) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display.

Backing up the ﬂoppy disk

•

To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two ﬂoppy disks.

PSR-2100/1100

Caution for data operations

Make sure NEVER to turn the PSR-2100/1100’s power off during any kind of data operation involving the USER/ FLOPPY DISK drives — such as saving, deleting, or copying/pasting — until the operation is completely ﬁnished. (Make sure to wait until the alert message disappears.) Turning the power off during the operation results in the loss of the data being saved or pasted to the respective drive. Keeping the power on during such operations is particularly important in regard to the USER drive. Turning off the power while performing a sav e/delete/paste operation with the USER driv e may result in loss of ALL data on the USER drive (upon the next power on) — and not just the data in question. In other words, if you are performing a save/delete/ paste operation on only the song data of the USER drive and you turn off the power before the oper ation is completed, you risk losing ALL your USER drive data — including all voices , styles, Multi Pad banks and Registration Memory presets you’ve saved to the USER drive. This caution also applies to creating a new folder on the USER drive or using the factory reset operation (page 154).

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modiﬁcations to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not

using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disk

Be sure to handle ﬂoppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below.

Compatible Disk Type

• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type ﬂoppy disks can be used.

Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks

To insert a ﬂoppy disk into the disk drive:

• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out.

Drive lamp

When the power is turned on, the drive lamp (at the bottom left of the drive) lights to indicate the drive can be used.

• Never attempt to remove the disk or turn the power off when the data is being written to the ﬂoppy disk. Doing so can damage the disk and possibly the disk drive. Press the eject button slowly as far as it will go; the disk will automatically pop out. When the disk is fully ejected, carefully remove it by hand.

• If the eject button is pressed too quickly, or if it is not pressed in as far as it will go, the disk may not eject properly. The eject button may become stuck in a halfpressed position with the disk extending from the drive slot by only a few millimeters. If this happens, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk, since using force in this situation can damage the disk drive mechanism or the ﬂoppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure.

• Be sure to remove the ﬂoppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A ﬂoppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data read and write errors.

To eject a ﬂoppy disk:

Before ejecting the disk, be sure to conﬁrm that data is not being written to the ﬂoppy disk. If data is currently being written to the ﬂoppy disk in the following operations, the messages “Now executing,” “Now copying,” and “Now formatting” appears in the display.

•Moving, copying, pasting, saving, or deleting data (page 45 - 47).

• Naming ﬁles and folders (page 44); creating a new folder (page 47).

• Copying a disk to an another disk (page 153); formatting the disk (page 153).

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors.

•To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commerciallyavailable dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper head-cleaning disks.

• Never insert anything but ﬂoppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or ﬂoppy disks.

About the Floppy Disks

To handle ﬂoppy disks with care:

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep ﬂoppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use.

• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the ﬂoppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a ﬂoppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a ﬂoppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location.

To protect your data (Write-protect Tab):

•To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open).

write-protect tab open (protect position)

Data backup

•For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate ﬂoppy disks. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged. To make a backup disk use the Disk to Disk function on page 153.

About the Display Messages

A message (information or conﬁrmation dialog) sometimes appears on the screen to facilitate operation. When such messages appear, simply follow the instructions as shown by pressing the corresponding button.

For this example, press the [G] (YES) button to execute formatting.

You can select the desired language from the Help display (page 52).

Power-on Procedure

When you have made all the necessary connections (page 155) between your PSR-2100/1100 and any other devices, make sure that all volume settings are turned down all the way to zero. Then turn on every device in your setup in the order of MIDI masters (senders), MIDI slaves (receivers), then the audio equipment (mixers, ampliﬁers, speakers, etc.). This ensures smooth MIDI operation and prevents speaker damage.

When powering down the setup, ﬁrst turn down the volume for each audio device, then switch off each device in the reverse order (ﬁrst audio devices, then MIDI).

To electrical outlet

Connect the other end (normal AC plug) to the

nearest electrical outlet.

WARNING

Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the PSR2100/1100, and may even pose a serious shoc k hazar d! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET WHEN THE PSR-2100/1100 IS NOT IN USE.

CAUTION

Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-2100/1100 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.

CAUTION

Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at a minimum level. When not using the PSR-2100/1100 for an extended period of time, be sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Music Rest

The PSR-2100/1100 is supplied with a music rest that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel.

The Panel Logos

The logos printed on the PSR-2100/1100 panel indicate standards/formats it supports and special features it includes.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer from any manufacturer.

XG Format

XG is a new Yamaha MIDI speciﬁcation which signiﬁcantly expands and improves on the “GM System Level 1” standard with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the PSR-2100/1100 XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song ﬁles.

XF Format

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. The PSR-2100/1100 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence ﬁles. The PSR-2100/1100 is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using SMF Format 0.)

Vocal Harmony (PSR-2100 only)

Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmony to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony can even change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as the added voices to produce a wide range of vocal harmony effects.

Disk Orchestra Collection

The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices.

Style File Format

The Style File Format (SFF) is Yamaha’s original style ﬁle format, which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. The PSR-2100/1100 uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style Creator feature.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral devices. It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on).

Style Sections

Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats — while you’re playing. Intros, Endings, Main patterns, and Breaks — they’re all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professionalsounding arrangements.

INTRO This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro ﬁnishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the

Saving and Recalling Music Finder Data

To save your Music Finder data, call up the MUSIC FINDER Open/Save window from the SYSTEM RESET page (page 154) of the UTILITY display, and follow the same procedure as that in the Open/Save window for Voice (page 43, 47). To recall the saved data, execute the appropriate operation from the MUSIC FINDER’s Open/Save window.

Music Finder data is compatible for both the PSR-2100 and the PSR-1100.

Records can be replaced or added (page 74).

In the instructions above, all Music Finder data is handled together. Besides this, when you save or load style ﬁles, the Music Finder data that uses the relevant style ﬁle(s) is stored or added automatically. When you copy or move a style ﬁle on a ﬂoppy disk to the USER drive (page 45, 46), the record which was recorded when storing the relevant style is automatically added to the PSR-2100/1100.

• In the example above, you speciﬁed a song title, but you can also look for relevant records by keyword or music

genre — for example, Latin, 8-beat, etc. (page 73).

Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data

Open/Save Display

The PSR-2100/1100 utilizes a variety of data types — including voices, accompaniment styles, songs, multi pads and registration memory settings. Much of this data is already programmed and contained in the PSR-2100/1100; you can also create and edit your own data with some of the functions on the instrument. All this data is stored in separate ﬁles — just as is done on a computer. Here, we’ll show you how to use the basic operations of the display controls in handling and organizing the data of the PSR-2100/1100 in ﬁles and folders. Files can be opened, saved, named, moved, or deleted in their respective Open/Save displays. You can select these displays according to their respective ﬁle types, as well: Song, Voice, Style, etc. Moreover, you can organize your data efﬁciently by putting various ﬁles of the same type into a single folder. The Open/Save displays for Song, Voice, Style, Multi Pad Bank and Registration Bank can be called up from the MAIN display (the display shown when the power is turned on) by pressing the appropriate [A] - [J] button.

Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data

Example — Open/Save display

Each Open/Save display consists of three kinds of drive pages: PRESET, USER, and FLOPPY DISK. In the examples given here, the Open/Save display for Voice is shown.

PRESET drive

The ﬁles that are preprogrammed and installed internally to the PSR-2100/1100 are kept here. Preset ﬁles can be loaded but cannot be re-written. However, you can use a preset ﬁle as a basis for creating your own original ﬁle (which can be saved in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive).

USER drive

Files kept here are those containing your own original data, created or edited using the various functions of the PSR2100/1100. They are stored internally to the PSR-2100/1100.

FLOPPY DISK drive

You can also store your original data to ﬂoppy disk. Commercially available disk software can also be called up here. Naturally, these ﬁles are available only when the appropriate disk is inserted in the ﬂoppy disk drive.

PRESET, USER and FLOPPY DISK.

File

All data, both preprogrammed and your own original, are stored as “ﬁles.”

Current Memory

“Current Memory” is the area where the voice is called up when you select a voice. Also it is the area where you edit your voice using the SOUND CREATOR function. Your edited voice should then be saved as a ﬁle in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive. Recording songs (page 95) and creating accompaniment styles (page 111) are done within the current memory. Please make sure to properly save this data to the USER/FLOPPY DISK drive as a ﬁle or ﬁles. The data will be lost if you turn off the power without saving. For details, see page 42.

Basic Operations — Organizing Your Data

Saving Files

This operation lets you save the data (such as song and voice) you created in current memory (page 40) to ﬁles. The ﬁles can be saved only to the USER and FLOPPY DISK drives. If the Open/Save display for the type of data you wish to save is not shown, ﬁrst return to the MAIN display by pressing the [DIRECT ACCESS] button followed by the [EXIT] button. Then, press the appropriate button [A]–[J] from the MAIN display to call up the respective Open/Save display. Finally, call up the USER or FLOPPY DISK page (pages 38, 40).

The internal memory capacity of the PSR-2100/1100 is about 580KB (PSR-2100) / 260KB (PSR-1100). Memory capacity for 2DD and 2HD ﬂoppy disks is about 720KB and 1440KB, respectively. When you store data to these locations, all ﬁle types of the PSR-2100/1100 (Voice, Style, Song, Registration, etc.) are stored together.

The ﬁles of commercially available DOC software and Yamaha Disklavier software, and their edited ﬁles on the PSR-2100/1100, can be stored in the USER page, but cannot be copied to another ﬂoppy disk.

This operation lets you easily organize your various ﬁles into categories by creating a new folder for each category. Folders can only be created in the USER and FLOPPY DISK sections.

EFFECT

■ DSP

The PSR-2100/1100 features a variety of dynamic built-in digital effects, letting you process the sound in various ways. You can use DSP to enhance the voices in subtle ways — such as by applying chorus to add animation and depth, or using a symphonic effect to give the sound warmth and richness. DSP also has effects such as distortion that can completely change the character of the sound. DSP is set for the currently selected part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT).

PSR-2100/1100

The DSP and VARIATION effect types and the their depth can be selected and adjusted in the MIXING CON- SOLE display (page 127).

Voices

PITCH BEND

The maximum pitch bend range can be changed (page 126).

MODULATION

In order to avoid accidentally applying modulation set the depth to its minimum setting.

■ VARIATION

This control changes the Variation effect settings, letting you alter some aspect of the effect, depending on the selected type. For example, when the Rotary Speaker effect is selected (page 127), this lets you switch the rotor speed between slow and fast.

■ HARMONY/ECHO

This control adds Harmony or Echo effects to the voices played on the right hand section of the keyboard (page 146).

■ MONO

This control determines whether the voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically for each part (MAIN/LAYER/LEFT). This is set to MONO when the lamp is lit, and set to polyphonic when the lamp is off. When set to MONO, only the last note played will sound. This lets you play wind instrument voices more realistically. Depending on the selected voice, the MONO setting also lets you effectively use the Portamento effect, when playing in legato.

■ LEFT HOLD

This function causes the left part voice to be held even when the keys are released — the same effect as when the sustain pedal is pressed. This function is especially effective when used with the auto accompaniment. For example, if you play and release a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard (with the left part on and the Left voice set to Strings), the strings part sustains, adding a natural richness to the overall accompaniment sound.

The Portamento effect creates a smooth pitch glide between successively played notes.

You can add special emphasis to melody lines you play over chords by using the Layer function with a monophonic voice. Set the Main voice to play polyphonically and set the Layer voice to play monophonically (MONO). In this case, the melody you play — including the top notes of any chords — sounds monophonically. Try this using the following voices.

MAIN voice

(polyphonic) + Sweet T rump (monophonic)

: Brass Section

LAYER voice

PITCH BEND Wheel & MODULATION Wheel

Use the PSR-2100/1100 PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The PITCH BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released.

The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard (PSR-

2100). Moving the MODULATION wheel all the way towards yourself minimizes the depth of the effect, while rotating it away from yourself increases it.

Adjusting the Octave setting

The [UPPER OCTAVE] button allows the MAIN and LAYER parts to be simultaneously transposed up or down by one octave.

UPPER OCTAVE

More detailed octave-related settings for each part can be made by using the Mixing Console function (page 126).

The PSR-2100/1100 features styles (accompaniment patterns) in a variety of different musical genres including pops, jazz, Latin and dance. To use it, all you have to do is play the chords with your left hand as you perform and the selected Accompaniment Style (style) matching your music will automatically play along, instantly following the chords you play.

Accompaniment Style Characteristics

The deﬁning characteristics of some of the accompaniment styles are indicated above the relevant style names in the Open/Save display.

Session!

These styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain genres. As a result, the styles may not necessarily be appropriate — or even harmonically correct — for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad may result in a seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in incorrect or unexpected accompaniment.

Chord Fingerings

The style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the keys to the left of the split point. There are 7 types of ﬁngerings as described below. Go to the CHORD FINGERING page (page 142), and select the Chord Fingerings. The page shows how to play chords with your left hand.

SINGLE FINGER

Single Finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord ﬁngerings described below 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.

MULTI FINGER

The Multi Finger mode automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord ﬁngerings, so you can use either type of ﬁngering without having to switch ﬁngering modes. If you want to play minor, seventh, or minor-seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER operation in the MULTI FINGER Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the root of the chord.

FINGERED

This mode lets you produce accompaniment by playing full chords on the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. The Fingered mode recognizes the various chord types listed on the next page.

FINGERED ON BASS

This mode accepts the same ﬁngerings 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. For example, to indicate a C-on-E chord, play a C major chord with E as the lowest note (E, G, C).

FULL KEYBOARD

This method 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.

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

Cm7

Chord detection in the AI Full Keyboard mode occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th note in length — may not be detected.

In Full Keyboard mode, chords are detected based on the lowest and second lowest notes you play. If the two lowest notes fall within a single octave, those two notes determine the chord. If the lowest note and the second lowest note are separated by more than one octave, the lowest note becomes the bass and the chord is determined from the second lowest note and the other notes played in the same octave.

AI FINGERED

This mode is 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.).

Artiﬁcial Intelligence

AI FULL KEYBOARD

When this advanced auto accompaniment mode is engaged, the PSR-2100/1100 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard mode is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This mode is similarto 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 and 11th chords cannot be played.

If the MAIN screen (at left)

is not displayed, press the [DIRECT ACCESS] button followed by the [EXIT] button.

The displayed notation is generated by the PSR2100/1100 based on the song data. As a result, it may not be exactly the same as commercially available sheet music of the same song — especially when displaying notation of complicated passages or many short notes.

Some song data for the PSR-2100/1100 has been recorded with special "free tempo" settings. For such song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not displayed correctly.

Detailed Settings for Notation

When “LEFT” and “RIGHT” are set to the same channel, the notation of the right-hand notes and left-hand notes are displayed in piano format (two connected staves).

■ [1▲▼] LEFT CH/[2▲▼] RIGHT CH

This determines the Left channel (channel for the left-hand part) and Right channel (channel for the right-hand part). This setting returns to AUTO when a different song is selected.

AUTO .........................The channels for the right- and left-hand parts are assigned automatically — setting the parts

to the same channel as the channel which is speciﬁed in the SONG SETTING display of the

Function menu (page 140).

1-16............................Assigns the part to the speciﬁed channel, 1- 16.

OFF (LEFT CH only)....No channel assignment.

■ [3▲▼], [4▲▼] KEY SIGNATURE

This lets you enter key signature changes in the middle of a song, at the stopped position. This menu is useful when the selected song contains no key signature settings for displaying notation. For a list of the key signatures, with their relative minor keys and accidentals, see the chart below.

Key Signatures and Accidentals

C Maj (A min) G Maj (E min) D Maj (B min) A Maj (F min) E Maj (C min) B Maj (G min) F Maj (D min) C Maj (A min)

C Maj (A min) G Maj (E min) D Maj (B min) A Maj (F min) E Maj (C min) B Maj (G min) F Maj (D min)

The note indicates the root note of the major key, and the note indicates the root of the relative minor.

■ [5▲▼] QUANTIZE

This gives you control over the note resolution in the notation, letting you shift or correct the timing of all displayed notes so that they line up to a particular note value. Make sure to select the smallest note value which is used in the song.

Note resolution:

1/4 note, 1/8 note, 1/16 note, 1/32 note, 1/4 note triplet, 1/8 note triplet, 1/16 note triplet, 1/32 note triplet

Short notes and ornamented notes (such as trills and grace notes) which are shorter than the Note resolution will not be displayed in the notation.

level after the key is played. The higher the value, the slower the attack.

• DECAY........ Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain

level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The higher the value, the slower the decay.

• RELEASE ..... Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after

PSR-2100/1100

the key is released. The higher the value, the slower the release.

If RELEASE is set to a large value, the sustain becomes long.

The term “footage” is a ref erence to the sound gener ation of traditional pipe organs , in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16’ setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1’ setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.

About Song Recording

There are two methods of recording songs: realtime recording and step recording.

■ Realtime Recording

This method lets you record performance data in real time. There are two ways to use realtime recording: Quick and Multi.

Quick Recording (page 96)

This is the easiest recording method, and lets you quickly record the piano song you are practicing. You can select from four parts: right hand, left hand and auto accompaniment/multi pad. For example, you can record only your right hand performance, or you can simultaneously record both your right hand and the auto accompaniment.

Multi Recording (page 97)

This lets you record a song with several different instrument sounds, and create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument individually and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over an existing part on an internal song or a song on disk with your own performance.

■ Step Recording (page 99)

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. By using the Event List (page 108-110), you can input notes, chords and other events one by one.

■ Song Editing (page 105)

The PSR-2100/1100 also lets you edit the songs you’ve recorded by the Quick Recording, Multi Recording and Step Recording methods. When re-recording a speciﬁc section of an already-recorded song, use the Punch IN/OUT function (page 104).

DIGITAL RECORDING

• The internal memory capacity of the PSR-2100/1100 is about 1520KB (PSR-2100)/700KB (PSR-

1100). Memory capacity for 2DD and 2HD ﬂoppy disks is about 720KB and 1.44MB, respectively. When you store data to these locations, all ﬁle types of the PSR-2100/ 1100 (Voice, Style, Song, Registration, etc.) are stored together.

• The microphone input signal (PSR2100 only) cannot be recorded.

• Songs recorded on the PSR-2100/ 1100 are automatically recorded as SMF (Standard MIDI File format 0) data. For details on SMF, see page 161.

• Playback of the recorded song data can be transmitted from MIDI OUT, letting you play the sounds of a connected external tone generator (page 149).

• The volume level of each channel of the song can be adjusted from the Mixing Console and the settings can be saved. Moreov er , ev en after you’ve set a voice for your keyboard play during recording, you can record voice selections, so that the voice changes automatically during playback (page 107).

• Setting several channels

to MIDI

When using an external MIDI keyboard or controller to record, this records data only over the set MIDI channel — meaning the external device must also be set to the same channel.

A single part (with the exception of MIDI parts) cannot be assigned to several channels.

To stop recording, press the [REC] button again.

You can also use the foot pedal to stop recording by releasing it, if the recording punch in/out function has been assigned to the pedal (page 104).
