Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the
simple rules given below:
Location
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage.
Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).
High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, out-
side, or in a car during the daytime).
Excessive humidity.
Excessive dust.
Strong vibration.
Power Supply
Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument
is not in use.
The power cord should be unplugged from the
AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time.
Unplug the instrument during electric storms.
Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC
outlet as appliances with high power consump­tion, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality and possibly damage.
Turn Power OFF When Making
Connections
To avoid damage to the instrument and other
devices to which it is connected (a sound system, for example), lated devices OFF prior to connecting or discon­necting audio and MIDI cables.
Handling and Transport
Never apply excessive force to the controls, con-
nectors or other parts of the instrument.
Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
Disconnect all cables before moving the instru-
ment.
Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the instrument can re­sult in scratches and more serious damage.
turn the power switches of all re-
Cleaning
Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove stubborn grime and dirt.
Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instru­ment (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).
Electrical Interference
This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to ra­dio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.
Service and Modification
The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 contains no user serv­iceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and pos­sibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to quali­fied YAMAHA personnel.
Data Backup
Internal data (e.g. Song Memory data) is retained in memory even if the power switch is turned off as long as backup batteries are installed (page 5) or the AC plug is connected. The internal memory can, however, be corrupted by incorrect operation. Be sure to save important data to floppy disk frequently so you have a backup to revert to if the data in memory is accidentally damaged. Also note that magnetic fields can damage data on floppy disks, so it is advisable to make a second backup copy of disks that contain particularly important data. Always keep backup disks in a safe place away from stray magnetic fields (e.g. those produced by speakers, appli­ances containing motors, etc.). More important precautions for floppy disk use are given in the “Floppy Disk” section beginning on page 56.
YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the power cord)
during any record or disk operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
Installing the Backup Batteries
For memory backup the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 requires four 1.5V SUM-3, “AA” size, R-6 or equivalent batteries. All PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 features will operate without these batteries installed, but song memory and other data that is not saved to disk will be lost when then power is turned off. To prevent acci­dental loss of data, we recommend that a set of backup batteries be installed while the instrument is in regular use. When the backup batteries need to be replaced “Backup Battery Low” will appear on the LCD display panel when the power is initially turned on (this also occurs if no backup batteries are installed). Try to re­place the batteries
before they fail and the backup memory contents are lost.
Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom
Z
panel. Insert the four new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings
X
on the inside of the compartment. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
C
CAUTION
When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of
four new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.
Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese)
at the same time.
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.
When you replace the batteries, any backed-up data will be lost. To
avoid this, be sure to save your valuable data to a floppy disk before replacing the batteries.

Using Headphones
HEADPHONES
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged into the rear-panel
HEADPHONES jack for private practice or late-night playing. The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the HEADPHONES jack.
Connecting to an External Sound System
AUX OUT
R
L+R/L
The AUX OUT L+R/L and R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-1700/
PSR-2700 for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the PSR-1700/ PSR-2700 to a monophonic sound system, use only the L+R/L jack. When a plug is inserted into the L+R/L jack only, the left- and right-channel sig- nals are combined and delivered via the L+R/L jack so you don’t lose any of the instrument’s sound.

The Music Stand
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch or FC7 foot controller can
be plugged into either or both of the rear-panel PEDAL jacks.
The PEDAL 1 jack is initially assigned to sustain control. A footswitch
connected to this jack functions as a damper pedal, controlling sustain. Press the pedal to sustain notes after the keys are released.
The PEDAL 2 jack is initially assigned to the voice volume control
(MIDI Expression control). An FC7 foot controller connected to this jack can be used to control voice volume: press the pedal forward to increase voice volume; backward to decrease voice volume.
Both the PEDAL jacks can be assigned to a wide range of other func-
tions as described in the “Pedal Assign” section on page 72.
Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear
of the control panel.

PSR-1700
PARAMETER & VALUE
VCE=00–1:GrandPno
First press the button corresponding to the function or parameter you want
to edit. To select voice numbers, for example, press the [VOICE SELECT] button (its indicator will light). The name of the selected parameter and its current value will be shown on the LCD display panel.
The LCD Display Panel
The PSR-2700 and PSR-1700 feature backlit LCD display panels that make it easy to select and edit parameters as well as perform all other operations. The PSR-2700 display has two lines of 24 characters each, while the PSR­1700 has one line of 16 characters.
The PSR-2700 display has four sections: STYLE, VOICE, CHORD, and PARAMETER & VALUE. The STYLE and VOICE sections on the upper line always show the currently se­lected accompaniment style and voice. The CHORD section on the lower line shows the detected chord when the Auto Accompa­niment feature is used, and the PARAMETER & VALUE section shows the parameter and value currently selected for editing.
The PSR-1700 display always shows the parameter and value currently selected for editing.
NOTES
• “Now Processing” may appear on the LCD display panel while the PSR­1700/PSR-2700 is processing the data (for example recorded data) or ready to process it.
XEdit the Parameter..................................................................................................................................
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 let you edit parameters using four different
methods. Use the one that best suits the parameter you have selected:

Each time you press a function button after initially selecting the function, the value of the corresponding parameter will be incremented (increased) by one. If you hold the function button for a few seconds, the parameter will begin to increment continuously as long as you hold the button.
If, for example, you press the [VOICE SELECT] button and LCD display panel shows that voice number 36 (VCE=036:Fretless) is currently selected, you can select voice number 37 (VCE=037:SlapBas1) simply by pressing the [VOICE SELECT] button again.
NOTES
• The SPLIT POINT button, MAPPING button (PSR-2700), and PITCH button (PSR-2700) are exceptions.

The [+] and [–] buttons can be used to increment (increase by one) or dec­rement (decrease by one) the currently selected parameter. Press the [+] button briefly to increment the parameter value, or the [–] button to decrement. If you hold the [+] or [–] button down, the value will increment or decrement con­tinuously — simply release the button when the desired value has been reached.
The number buttons — to the right of the [+] and [–] buttons — allow direct numeric entry of the desired value, and are therefore the fastest way to edit in many situations.
To select a voice, for example, choose one of the 128 voices — numbered “01” through “128” — listed in the “Voice & Polyphony List” on page 77, then enter its number using the number buttons. To select “Harmonica” (number
23), for example, first press [2] then [3]. The number “23” should then appear on the LCD display panel along with the name “Harmnica”.
The [+/–] button is used to switch between positive and negative values with parameters that allow negative values (Transpose, Tuning, Octave, and Pan, for example). A “–” appears before negative values on the LCD display panel.
When selecting voice numbers the [+/–] button is used to enter the hundreds digit of the voice number (the button alternately selects no hundreds digit or “1”), as required, prior to entering the tens and ones digits. The [1] number button cannot be used to enter the hundreds digit when selecting voices.
2-4: The Data Dial
Yes/No Confirmation
YES NO
ARE YOU SURE ?
Values outside the range of the selected parameter can not be entered.
This is undoubtedly the easiest way to edit most parameters. Simply rotate the dial clockwise to increment or counter-clockwise to decrement.
NOTES
Some operations that change important settings or erase data may require you to
confirm your choice by pressing the [YES] or [NO] button. When a choice needs to be confirmed the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and a digitally sampled voice will ask “Are you sure?”. Press the [YES] button to execute the specified operation or the [NO] button to cancel and leave the settings or data unaffected.
If you don’t want to hear the “Are you sure?” confirmation sound, hold down the [NO]
button while initially turning the power switch on. To restore the confirmation sound, turn the power switch off, then turn it back on again while holding down the [YES] button. The on/off status of the confirmation sound is retained in memory even when the power switch is turned off as long as the backup batteries are installed or an AC plug is connected.
• After editing a parameter other than [VOICE SELECT], the [VOICE SE­LECT] parameter will automatically be re-selected after a brief delay.
If you attempt to change a parameter that can not be edited in the
current mode, “IllegalOperation” will appear on the LCD display.

The four available parts are turned on and off by the [R1], [R2], [L1], and [L2] buttons. The indica­tors next to each of these buttons tell you which parts are on and which are off, and therefore indi­cate the current orchestration mode. The [EDIT] button determines which of the four orchestration parts is to be edited. You can, for example, assign any of the 128 voices to each of the orchestration parts. But before we discuss voice assignment and editing, let’s take a look at the various orchestration modes:
Single Modes
In the “single” modes either the [R1] or [R2] part voice can be played over the entire keyboard. The R1 and R2 single-voice modes are selected simply by pressing either the [R1] or [R2] button if neither the [L1] or [L2] indicators are lit. If the [L1] and/or [L2] indicators are lit, press them so that both indicators go out.
Note that when you select the [R1] or [R2] single- voice mode, the triangular EDIT indicator for the se­lected voice also lights. This means you can select a different voice number or otherwise edit the current voice using the procedures described on page 13.

Dual Mode
In the dual mode both the [R1] and [R2] part voices are selected so they can be played simultane­ously across the entire keyboard. To select the dual mode, make sure that both the [L1] and [L2] indica­tors are out, then press both the [R1] and [R2] but­tons simultaneously (or hold one while pressing the other).
You can switch back to either of the single modes from the dual mode simply by pressing the [R1] or [R2] button, as required.

EDIT
L2 R2
The R1 & R2 voices are played across the entire keyboard.
Split Modes
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 allow four different
split modes, with one voice played on the left-hand section of the keyboard ([L1] or [L2]) and a different voice on the right-hand section of the keyboard ([R1] or [R2]). Selecting a split mode is simply a matter of pressing the buttons corresponding to the desired left- and right-hand parts.
Split & Dual Modes
There are five possible combinations of the split and dual modes, as shown below. The part for the single-voice side of the combination is selected sim­ply by pressing the appropriate part button, while for the dual-voice side both buttons must be pressed simultaneously (or one while holding the other).

The Harmony Types
This harmony type produces a duophonic melody with the second voice below the melody line. If you turn both the R1 and R2 voices on (DUAL

04: Trio
05: Block
mode) the notes you play on the keyboard will be played by the R1 voice, and the harmony notes by the R2 voice. You can individually set the R1 and R2 voices and voice parameters as required.
A parallel voice is produced a fifth above the melody voice. As in the Duet type, the R1 and R2 voices can be set individually in the dual mode.
Similar to Duet, but the second voice is above the melody line. The R1 and R2 voices can be set individually in the dual mode.
This harmony type generates two voices in addi­tion to the melody voice. Both of the harmony voices are assigned to R2 in the dual mode.
Three or four notes are added to the melody to produce four or five-note chords. In the dual mode the highest and lowest voices (always one octave apart) are assigned to R1, and the inner two or three notes are assigned to R2.

Three harmony notes are generated to produce a four-note chord. If both the R1 and R2 voices are turned on (dual mode), the 1st (melody) and 3rd notes are assigned to R1 while the 2nd and 4th are assigned to R2.
Similar to the preceding type, but depending on the chords played this type will sometimes pro­duce a more colorful sound. The note assignment in the dual mode is also different: 1st and 2nd notes to R1, 3rd and 4th notes to R2.
Four-note chords with open voice (large intervals between the notes). The result is a very “open” sound. Since the harmony notes can be as much as two octaves below the melody, avoid playing in the lower registers. With certain voices you might find that changing the octave (see “Octave” on page 14) results in better sound. In the dual mode the top (melody) note is assigned to R1 and all three harmony notes are assigned to R2.
One note is added an octave below the melody. In the dual mode the melody is assigned to R1 and the lower note to R2.
The notes and assignments are the same as in the Block type, but the notes are arpeggiated.

The [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 up or down in
semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

• The new transpose value will apply from the next note played — i.e. you can’t transpose the sound of a note while it is playing.
Tuning
The [TUNING] button makes it possible to tune the pitch of the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 to match other instru-

Auto Accompaniment
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have 100 accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully­orchestrated Auto Accompaniment. When the Auto Accompaniment function is turned ON, the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 create fully-orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment based on chords you play with the left hand in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of the Auto Accompaniment split point). The right-hand section of the key­board is available for normal playing. The default Auto Accompaniment split point is the G2 (55) key. The Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard consists of all keys to its left. The Auto Accompaniment split point can be set to any other key as described in “Setting the Auto Accompaniment Split Point” on page 25.

NOTES
• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
• A perfect fifth (1+5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth which can be used with many major and minor chords.
• An octave (1+8) produces accompaniment based only on the root.
• If three adjacent keys are played simultaneously (white and black keys), chord accompaniment will be cancelled and only the rhythm accompaniment will sound. (Chord 1/Chord 2 mode)

SINGLE mode fingering makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor­seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard. The accompaniment pro­duced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment style.
Major Chords:
If you press a “C” key in the left-hand section of the keyboard, for example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key in the left-hand section 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).
Minor Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
Seventh Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
Minor-seventh Chords:
Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.

NOTES
• The Auto 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 chords.
This is a combination of the Single and Chord 1 modes. In this mode the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 automatically discriminates between Single and Chord 1 mode fingerings and generates the appropriate accompaniment.
NOTES
• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are black keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1 mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a minor (m) chord.
• If more than three keys are played and, excluding the highest key, are a mixture of black and white keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1 mode, the highest note will be inter­preted as the root of a minor-seventh (m7) chord.
• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are white keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1 mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a sev­enth (7) chord.

In this mode chords played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and used for Auto Accompaniment. Otherwise the keyboard functions normally, and the entire range is available for playing. Chord recogni­tion is the same as in the Chord 1 mode. Please note that in this mode all notes you play on the keyboard at any one time will be interpreted as the Auto Accompaniment chord.
NOTES
• A single note played more than one octave below the lowest note in a chord will be interpreted as a bass note, and notes played more than an 11th above the lowest chord note will be interpreted as melody.
Chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are also detected and played by the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 Auto Accompaniment system when the accompaniment is stopped (except in the Full fingering mode). In this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automati­cally.

NOTES
• A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the accompaniment is playing. The style number and name on the LCD display panel will change as soon as the selection is made, but the new style will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The only exception is if you change styles while an intro is playing (see page 30), in which case the new style begin playing after the intro has finished. The tempo will not change when the new style begins play­ing.
The Beat Indicator
The four BEAT indicator LEDs located above the AUTO ACCOMPANI­MENT control section flash to indicate the tempo and beat as the accompa­niment plays. The LEDs flash individually in sequence on each beat of the measure. In 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8 time, for example, the beat indicator LEDs will flash as shown to the left.
NOTES
• Each accompaniment style has a preset “normal” tempo which is au­tomatically selected whenever the style is selected while the accom­paniment is stopped. The current tempo is maintained if you select a different style during accompaniment playback (except when the One Touch Setting function is used — page 36). You can change the tempo as required by using the TEMPO function described on page

Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction .............................................................................
INTRO
INTRO
VARIATION
A B
Any of the accompaniment styles can be started with an appropriate intro-
duction by pressing the [INTRO] button and then the [START/STOP] button. If you press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button and then the [INTRO] button, the accompaniment will start from the introduction as soon as a chord is de­tected in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.
Once the [INTRO] button is pressed, the [INTRO] indicator will be lit
continuously and the VARIATION [A] or [B] indicator will flash to indicate which section will play when the introduction has finished. You can change the destination section by pressing the VARIATION [A] or [B] button while its indicator is flashing. When the introduction ends, the [INTRO] indicator will go out and the [A] or [B] indicator will light continuously. The introductions for the VARIATION [A] and [B] sections are different. The A intro has no chord progression while the B intro has its own chord progression. The actual format of the intro, however, depends on the selected style. Although it is generally not advisable to change chords manually while the B intro is playing, the A intro has no progression of its own so you can play your own chords as required.
NOTES
• It is possible to start the accompaniment from any section — even the ending — by pressing the corresponding button prior to pressing the [START/STOP] button. The destination MAIN [A] or [B] section can be selected as described above.
• The [INTRO] button can be used to select the introduction pattern even while the accompaniment is playing.
The Main [A] and [B] Sections...............................................................................................................
VARIATION
Each accompaniment style has two main sections [A] and [B]. These are
variations of the same musical style. If the VARIATION [A] or [B] button is
A B
pressed while the accompaniment is playing, the corresponding section will begin from the top of the next measure. You can also select [A] or [B] before starting the accompaniment.
NOTES
• The Main [A] section is automatically selected whenever the power switch is turned on (the VARIATION [A] indicator will be lit).
Adding Fill-ins & Breaks ........................................................................................................................
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide two types of fill-ins that can be used
FILL IN 1 FILL IN 2
as musical transitions between sections of a song or simply to add variety where required. Press the [FILL IN 1] button at any time while the accompani­ment is playing to add a one-measure fill-in and or return to the current MAIN section, or press the [FILL IN 2] button to add a one-measure fill-in and go to the other MAIN section. Although there are two FILL IN buttons there are actually four fill-ins per style: FILL IN 1 for the MAIN [A] section, FILL IN 1 for the MAIN [B] section, FILL IN 2 for the transition MAIN [A] to [B], and FILL IN 2 for the transition MAIN [B] to [A].
BREAK
While the fill-ins are one measure long, the BREAK is two measures. The first measure is similar to a fill-in while the second measure is an actual rhyth­mic break a thinner arrangement with drums and percussion predominating. Like the fill-ins, there are actually two BREAK patterns one for the MAIN [A] section and one for the MAIN [B] section.

FILL IN 1 FILL IN 2 BREAK
VARIATION

If the MAIN A section is playing, for example, the
[A] indicator will flash while FILL IN 1 or the BREAK plays, and the [B] indicator will flash while FILL IN 2 plays. You can change the section that will begin playing after the selected fill-in or break by pressing the desired section button while the indicator is still flashing.
NOTES
• If you hold the [FILL IN 1], [FILL IN 2] or [BREAK] button, the fill-in or second measure of the break pattern will repeat until the button is released, then the MAIN A or B section will play from the beginning of the next measure.
• If the [FILL IN 1], [FILL IN 2] or [BREAK] button is pressed after the last beat of a measure, the fill-in or break will begin from the first beat of the next measure. If pressed at any other time the fill-in or break will begin immediately.
• It is also possible to start the accompaniment with a fill-in or break by pressing the desired fill-in or break button prior to pressing the [START/STOP] button. The destination MAIN [A] or [B] section can be selected in the normal way.
Stopping the Accompaniment...............................................................................................................
An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing
START/STOP ENDINGSYNC-START/STOP
the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNC-START/STOP] button. In the latter case the synchro start mode will be engaged when the accompaniment stops. The accompaniment can also be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the [ENDING] button. The endings for the MAIN [A] and [B] sections are different. The A ending has no chord progression while the B ending has its own chord progression. The actual format of the ending, however, depends on the selected style.
INTRO A
INTRO B
NOTES
• The ending will begin from the first beat of the next measure.
• If the [FILL IN 1], [FILL IN 2], or [BREAK] button is pressed while the ending pattern is playing, a fill-in or break will be played, followed by a return to the MAIN A or B pattern.

The Auto Accompaniment system includes eight TRACK buttons which allow you to control the accompaniment arrangement in real time. You can turn tracks on or off while playing for extra accompa­niment variety.
The various tracks are turned on or off by pressing the correspond­ing TRACK button. When a part is turned off the corresponding indi­cator will go out. To silence the bass part, for example, press the TRACK [BASS] button so that its indicator goes out. Press the button again to turn that part back on.
NOTES
• The indicators for all tracks that contain data in any section will light whenever an accompaniment style is selected. (Depend­ing on the selected accompaniment style, some tracks may not contain any data.)
What’s In the Tracks...............................................................................................................................
Heres how the tracks are normally used:
RHYTHM 1: This is the main rhythm track, and usually plays a drum kit. RHYTHM 2: Additional rhythm. Turning the RHYTHM 2 track ON will usually increase
the energy of the rhythm. In many styles this track plays percussion in­struments such as congas, bongos, etc. This means you can turn off the RHYTHM 1 track and use only RHYTHM 2 for a light rhythm sound.
BASS: The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit
the selected style acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 & 2:
Both these tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by each style. Youll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.
PAD CHORD: This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments
such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2: This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE tracks are
used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.
Try different combinations of tracks with each style. Some styles will sound best with the full arrangement (all tracks ON), while others might suit your needs better if a smaller arrangement is used. To thin out an arrangement, the PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2 tracks are the first ones youll want to turn OFF.
Another way to use the tracks is to gradually build up the arrangement during the course of a song. Start with a small arrangement e.g. RHYTHM 1, BASS, and RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 then add tracks one by one as you want to thicken the musical texture.
Some styles will actually sound quite different depending on the combination of tracks you choose. Try, for example, just RHYTHM 1, BASS, and PAD CHORD.

Record Functions
The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 RECORDING section controls three recording functions:
The SONG MEMORY:
Record complete songs including an accompaniment track and up to six melody tracks. Songs can be saved to and loaded from floppy disk as required (page 56).
MULTI PADS: Record short chord, melody, or rhythm sequences that can be played back anytime by simply pressing a button. The MULTI PAD data can be saved to and loaded from floppy disk as required.
CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT: Create your own accompaniment style for use with the Auto Accompaniment feature. Custom ac­companiments can be saved to and loaded from floppy disk as required.
Operation of all three functions is essentially the same, so once you’re familiar with the basic proce­dure, recording songs, multi-pad phrases, or custom accompaniments should be easy. We’ll start with the SONG MEMORY.
CAUTION
Turning the power OFF during recording or while the record-
ready mode is engaged can result in a loss of recorded data.
Song Memory
The SONG MEMORY allows you to record and play back complete songs including chord sequences created using the Auto Accompaniment feature and melody lines you play on the keyboard. The SONG MEMORY has one ACCOMP track and six MELODY tracks. You also have a choice of realtime and step recording modes: the realtime mode records what you play as you play it; the step mode lets you record one step at a time.
Only one song can be retained in the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 memory at a time, but your songs can be saved to floppy disk — at most 99 songs per disk (the actual number depends on the volume of the song data) — and then reloaded later whenever you want to play them (page 56).
NOTES
• Material recorded using the SONG MEMORY is retained in memory even when the POWER switch is turned OFF if backup batteries are present or the AC plug is connected.

BSave Your Completed Song to Floppy Disk ........................................................................................
When youve finished recording your song or have recorded as much as you want to in the current session save your song to floppy disk as described on page 58. Making this step a habit will prevent accidental loss of data.
NOTES
• The song data is retained in memory even when the power switch is turned off as long as the backup batteries are installed or the AC plug is connected. It is nevertheless a good idea to save important song data to floppy disk so you have a backup in case of accidental eras­ure.

The Multi Pads
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 MULTI PADS can be used to record short rhythmic or melodic sequences, percus-
sion fill-ins, or single percussion sounds that can be played at any time simply by pressing the appropriate pad. Pads [1] and [2] play back exactly as recorded, while pads [3] and [4] are “CHORD MATCH types which are automati- cally transposed to match chords played using the Auto-accompaniment feature.
Only one set of MULTI PAD data can be retained in the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 memory at a time, but any
number of MULTI PAD sets can be saved to floppy disks and then reloaded later when needed (page 56).
The MULTI PADs record the following operations and data:
• Key on/off (i.e. notes played on the keyboard).
• Key velocity.
• Voice number (Percussion Kit, Sampled Voice Number (PSR-2700)).
• Volume.
• Pan.
