Basic Editing Procedure9
Selecting & Playing the Voices11
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.
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 and preparing to
play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-1700/PSR-2700.

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.
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

Basic Editing Procedure
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a flexible-but-consistent interface that lets you edit just
about all of its parameters using the same basic procedure. Once familiar with the system,
you’ll be able to edit any parameter quickly and easily. Here’s the basic procedure:

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
YESNO
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 PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have 128 stunning
voices plus 8 different drum and percussion kits
that you can select and play in a number of ways.

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.

The R1 voice is played across the
entire keyboard.
The R2 voice is played across the
entire keyboard.
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.
L1R1
EDIT
L2R2
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
01: Duet
02: 1 + 5
03: Country
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.

on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the
Auto Accompaniment feature.
The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 will accept the following chord types:

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)
* 6 9 chords are only recognized in root position. All other
inversions are interpreted as m11.
* m6 chords are only recognized in root position. All other
b
inversions are interpreted as m7

* 1+2+5 chords are only recognized in root position. All
other inversions are interpreted as sus4.
* With aug and dim7 chords the lowest note played is as-

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.
● Mode 4: Multi

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.
The [TEMPO] button can be used to control the tempo of AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT, SONG MEMORY
and MULTI PAD playback (see pages 43 and 46).
ZPress the [TEMPO] Button.....................................................................................................................
Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TEMPO] button. The current
tempo (quarter-note beats per minute) will appear on the LCD display
panel.

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 instantly by pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.

● The [METRONOME] Button
TEMPO
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 include a metronome function that you’ll
use primarily with the recording functions described on page 39. If you
press the [METRONOME] button so that its indicator lights when using
Auto Accompaniment, the metronome will sound at the currently set tempo
when the synchro-start mode is engaged, and while the accompaniment is
playing.
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, break,
variations on the main pattern, ending — that you can select to control the “flow” of the accompaniment to
achieve the desired musical results. Accompaniment start/stop and sections are controlled by the ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL buttons.
The [START/STOP] button starts the selected accompaniment style
immediately.
Press the [AUTO ACCOMP] button so that its indicator lights before
starting the accompaniment. The accompaniment will start with the rhythm
sound only when the [START/STOP] button is pressed, then the bass and
chord parts will begin playing as soon as the first note or chord is played on
the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.
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
Press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button if you want the accompani-
SYNC-START/STOP
ment to start when you play the first note or chord on the keyboard. In this
case the accompaniment is started by playing in the left-hand section of the
keyboard.
NOTES
• If the AUTO ACCOMP mode is OFF, playing anywhere on the keyboard causes the rhythm-only accompaniment to start.
If you press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button, the BEAT indicator
LEDs will flash at the current tempo. The synchro start mode can be disengaged by pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP] button again so that its indi-
cator goes out.
● Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction .............................................................................
INTRO
INTRO
VARIATION
AB
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
AB
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).
The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide two types of fill-ins that can be used
FILL IN 1FILL 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.
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/STOPENDINGSYNC-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.
● Fade In & Fade Out .................................................................................................................................
The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth accompaniment and melody fade-ins or fade-
outs.
Start Playback with a Fade-in
FADE IN/OUTFADE IN/OUTFADE IN/OUT
You can start the accompaniment with a fade-in by pressing the
[FADE-IN/OUT] button before starting playback. The [FADE-IN/
OUT] button indicator will light continuously until the accompani-
ment is started. The fade-in will begin automatically as soon as the
accompaniment is started. The [FADE-IN/OUT] button indicator
will flash during the fade-in, and will go out when the fade-in is
complete.

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...............................................................................................................................
Here’s 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. You’ll 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 you’ll 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.
To make the TRACK buttons even more versatile, the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a REVOICE function
that lets you individually change the voices and several related VOICE section parameters assigned to each
track. The parameters that can be changed using the REVOICE function are as follows:
• Voice Number (Percussion Kit, Sampled Voice Number (PSR-2700))
• Volume
• Pan
• DSP Depth
• Octave

and the original voices for the selected accompaniment style will be restored.
NOTES
• ALL REVOICE settings are reset to their default values if you
changes styles while the REVOICE function is OFF. If you want to
keep a re-voiced setup so that it can be easily recalled later,
store it in the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 REGISTRATION MEMORY,
described on page 37.
• As long as you don’t change styles while the REVOICE function is
OFF, the re-voiced settings are maintained and can be recalled at any
time simply by turning the REVOICE function ON.
• If you change styles while the REVOICE function is engaged, the revoiced settings will be maintained.
• In some cases it may not be possible to re-voice a Custom Accompaniment during accompaniment playback. If this problem occurs, try revoicing the style while the accompaniment is stopped.
Each accompaniment style has a suitable preset voice and other settings that can be instantly
recalled by pressing the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button in the VOICE control section. This
makes it simple to recall the optimum settings for each style in one quick operation.
To use the One Touch Setting function: select a style, press the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button so that its indicator lights, then play. As long as the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] indicator is lit
the ideal voice and other settings (see list below) will be automatically recalled whenever you
select a new style. The One Touch Settings can be turned off by pressing the [ONE TOUCH
SETTING] button so that its indicator goes out.
If you don’t want to use the One Touch Settings as they are, they can be edited and stored in
a Registration Memory for easy recall at any time (see page 37 for details on the Registration
memory).
ONE TOUCH
SETTING
The One Touch Setting function recalls the following settings:
• The preset voice settings for the currently selected style — including orchestration,
voice assignments, volume, octave, DSP depth, pan, harmony, and effect settings.
• ACCOMP VOLUME level (21).

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.
The SONG MEMORY ACCOMP track records the following operations and data:
• Chord changes.
• Intro, Main, Fill in, Break, & Ending sections.
• Accompaniment volume.
• Fade-in/out.
• Auto accompaniment TRACK button operations.
• Tempo.
• Style number.
• Revoice.

apply, however, if
only chords or notes are recorded. The total is re-
duced when notes and chords are recorded together.
• If you start recording by pressing the [PLAY/STOP] button, nothing will
be recorded until you begin playing on the keyboard.
• If you use a function button during recording the corresponding value
will appear on the LCD display panel while the button is held. The
measure number display will resume a few seconds after the button is
released.
• The SONG MEMORY ACCOMP track can also be recorded using the
Step Record mode (page 50).
Stop recording by pressing the [ACCOMP] track button. Recording can
also be stopped by pressing the [ENDING] button, [FADE IN/OUT] but-
ton, or the SONG [PLAY/STOP] button. The [REC] indicator will go out
and “Now Processing” will appear on the LCD display panel while the
PSR-1700/2700 is processing recorded data. “Completed” will appear

• Previously-recorded SONG MEMORY tracks that are turned ON (their
indicators are lit) can be monitored while recording. If you don’t want
to hear any of the previous tracks while recording, simply press the
corresponding SONG MEMORY TRACK buttons so their indicators go
out.
• Only one melody track can be recorded at a time.
• If the MELODY track record ready mode is engaged, Auto Accompaniment is automatically turned off.
Recording will begin as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or
press the SONG [PLAY/STOP] button, and the BEAT indicator dots will
begin to indicate the current beat as in the Auto Accompaniment mode, and
the current measure and beat number will appear on the LCD display panel.
Play the melody using the entire keyboard if you are recording only a
MELODY track, or on the right-hand section of the keyboard if you are
recording a MELODY track at the same time as the ACCOMP track.
NOTES
• The SONG MEMORY MELODY tracks can also be recorded using the
Step Record mode — see page 50.
Stop recording by pressing the TRACK button of the melody track be-
ing recorded, or the SONG [PLAY/STOP] button. The [REC] indicator
will go out and “Now Processing” will appear on the LCD display panel
while the PSR-1700/2700 is processing recorded data. “Completed” will
appear briefly when the data has been processed. The measure number will
automatically return to the measure at which recording was started.
BSave Your Completed Song to Floppy Disk ........................................................................................
When you’ve 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.
■ Accompaniment And Melody Playback
ZLoad a Song If Necessary......................................................................................................................
If necessary, load the song you want to play back from floppy disk (refer
to page 60). This step can be ignored if the song you want to play is already
in the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 memory.

corresponding to the tracks you want to play back — the indicators of the
selected tracks will light.
NOTES
• All SONG MEMORY tracks that contain recorded data are automatically turned ON when the power switch is turned on or a song is
loaded from floppy disk.
• Measure number 1 is automatically selected whenever the power
switch is turned on or a song is loaded from floppy disk.
Playback will begin as soon as the SONG [PLAY/STOP] button is
pressed. You can turn the ACCOMP and MELODY tracks on and off during
playback by pressing the appropriate TRACK buttons. During playback the
current measure and beat will appear on the LCD display panel.
NOTES
• Use the [RESET] button to return to the first measure of the song at
any time (see page 44).
• You can also start playback from any specified measure by using the
[MEASURE #] button (see page 44).
VPlay Along If You Like............................................................................................................................
Play along on the keyboard if you like. You can also change the tempo
during playback.
NOTES
• The maximum polyphony is 28. If more than 28 notes are played at
the same time, some notes may be truncated. If you are using a sampled voice an additional 26 notes are available for the sampled voice
only.
Press the SONG [RESET] button to go directly to the first measure of
the song and turn ON all tracks that contain data. Measure number “001”
will appear on the LCD display panel. The [RESET] button also functions
during playback or realtime recording.

CStart Playback or Recording .................................................................................................................
Start playback or recording. You can now start playback or recording
from the specified measure number.
• This function allows you to “punch-in” and “punch-out” at any measure
to re-record a section of a previously-recorded track.
• Voice, volume, pan, pitch
bend, modulation, tempo,
harmony on/off, effect on/off,
dual on/off, DSP depth and
revoice data changes made
during the punch-in remain in
effect even after the punchout point until further parameter changes are encountered in the old data.
• Recording is carried out in 1-measure units. If you punch out in the
middle of a measure, rests will be recorded for the remainder of that
measure.

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.
• DSP depth.
