PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical
shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor
• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required
voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or
overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,
and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects
on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll
anything over it.
Do not open
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or
modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Water warning
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into
any openings.
• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Fire warning
• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
If you notice any abnormality
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a
sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or
smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,
disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected
by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Power supply/AC power adaptor Location
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold
the plug itself and not the cord.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector.
Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the
outlet.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or
heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to
prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal
components.
• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,
mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio
may generate noise.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally
fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or
rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the
internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

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 buttons, switches 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.

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks
(The floppy disk drive may be included or
optional, depending on your locale.)
The floppy disk drive lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to
load data from floppy disk to the instrument.
Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with
care. Follow the important precautions below.
Introduction
Floppy Disk Compatibility
• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used.
Formatting a Floppy Disk
• If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or
n
Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be usable as
is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks
Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk
Drive:
• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing
n
Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other
objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks.
Removing a Floppy Disk
• After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the
old disks that have been used with other devices, you
may need to format them. For details on how to format a
disk, see page 66. Keep in mind that all data on the disk
will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data.
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.
floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy
disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the
upper right of the disk slot all the way in.
When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If
the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck,
do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject
button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to
eject it again.
* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as
recording, playback, or deletion of data.
If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is
automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether
the disk has data.
CAUTION
Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument
itself while the disk is being accessed.
Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk
but also damage to the floppy disk drive.
• 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.
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 commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about
once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper headcleaning disks.
About Floppy Disks
Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions:
• 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). When saving data, make sure that the disk's
write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab
closed).

Handling SmartMediaTM*Memory Cards
*SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
This instrument features a built-in SmartMedia card slot (on
the front panel). It lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to a SmartMedia card, and allows
you to load data from a card to the instrument. Be sure to
handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important
precautions below.
Compatible SmartMedia Types
• 3.3V (3V) SmartMedia can be used. 5V type SmartMedia
is not compatible with this instrument.
• SmartMedia cards of seven different memory capacities
of (2MB, 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, and 128MB)
can be used with the instrument. SmartMedia cards
greater than 32MB can be used if they conform to the
SSFDC Forum standard.
n
SSFDC is an abbreviation for Solid State Floppy Disk Card
(another name for SmartMedia cards). The SSFDC Forum is a voluntary organization established for the promotion of SmartMedia.
Formatting SmartMedia Cards
If you find that you are unable to use new, blank SmartMedia cards or cards that have been used with other devices,
you may need to format them. For details on how to format
a SmartMedia card, see page 66. Keep in mind that all data
on the card will be lost after formatting. Make sure to
check beforehand whether or not the card contains important data.
n
SmartMedia cards formatted on this device may or may not be
usable as is on other devices.
Inserting/Removing SmartMedia Cards
Inserting SmartMedia Cards
• Insert the SmartMedia card with the terminal (goldplated) side face down into the card slot, until it fits into
place.
• Do not insert the SmartMedia card in the wrong direction.
• Do not insert anything other than a SmartMedia card in
the slot.
CAUTION
Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn
the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the
data on the instrument or card and possibly damage the
SmartMedia card itself.
Introduction
About SmartMedia Cards
Handle SmartMedia cards with care,
and follow these precautions:
•There are times when static electricity affects SmartMedia. Before you touch a SmartMedia card, touch something metallic such as a door knob and aluminum sash,
to reduce the possibility of static electricity.
• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the SmartMedia slot when it is not in use for a long time.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia to direct sunlight,
extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.
• Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or
bend or apply pressure to the card in any way.
• Do not touch the gold-plated terminals of the SmartMedia card or put any metallic plate onto the terminals.
• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic fields,
such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors,
etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely
erase data on the SmartMedia, rendering it unreadable.
• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to
a SmartMedia. Also make sure that labels are attached in
the proper location.
To Protect Your Data (Write-protect):
•To prevent inadvertent erasure of important data, affix
the write-protect seal (provided in the SmartMedia package) onto the designated area (within the circle) of the
SmartMedia card. Conversely, to save data on the SmartMedia card, make sure to remove the write-protect seal
from the card.
• Do not reuse a seal that has been peeled off.
Removing SmartMedia Cards
• Before removing the SmartMedia card, be sure to confirm that the card is not in use, or it is not being accessed
by the instrument. Then pull the card out slowly by
hand. If the SmartMedia card is being accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on the instrument's display.
* Accessing includes saving, loading, formatting, deleting and
making directory. Also, be aware that the instrument will
automatically access the SmartMedia to check the media
type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.

chord patterns, for more dynamic, professional-sounding performances. There are several different auto accompaniment pattern variations for each situation: starting your performance, during your performance, and ending your performance. Try out the variations and combine them freely.
To Start Playing
● Start/Stop
Styles start playing back as soon as the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button is pressed.
● Intro
This is used for the beginning of the song. Each preset Style features three different intros. When the intro finished playing, accompaniment shifts to the Main section (see “Main” in the “During Style playback” below).
Press one of the INTRO [I]–[III] buttons before starting Style playback and press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP]
button to start Style playback.
● Synchro Start
This lets you start playback as soon as you play the keyboard.
Press the [SYNC START] button when Style playback is stopped and play a chord in the chord section of the keyboard
to start Style playback.
● Fade In

Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button when Style playback is stopped and press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button
to start Style playback.
● Tap
Tap out the tempo and automatically start the Style at that tapped speed. Simply tap (press/release) the [TAP] button

During Style Playback
● Main
This is used for playing the main part of the Song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures, and repeats
indefinitely. Each preset Style features four different patterns.
Press one of the MAIN [A]–[D] buttons during Style playback.
● Fill In
The fill-in sections let you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional.
Turn on the [AUTO FILL IN] button before starting Style playback or during playback. Then, simply press one of the
MAIN VARIATION (A, B, C, D) buttons as you play, and the selected fill-in section plays automatically (AUTO FILL),
spicing up the auto accompaniment. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly into the selected main section (A, B,
C, D).
Quick Guide
Even when [AUTO FILL IN] button is turned off, pressing the same button of the currently playing section automatically
plays a fill-in before returning to the same main section.
● Break
This lets you add dynamic breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more
professional.
Press the [BREAK] button during Style playback.
To Finish Playing
● Start/stop
Styles stop as soon as the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button is pressed.
● Ending
This is used for the ending of the Song. Each preset Style features three different endings. When the ending is finished,
the Style stops automatically.
Press one of the ENDING/rit. [I]–[III] buttons during Style playback. You can have the ending gradually slow down
(ritardando) by pressing the same ENDING/rit. button again while the ending is playing back.
● Fade Out
The Fade Out produces smooth fade-outs when stopping the Style.
Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button during Style playback.
n For details on setting the fade-in and fade-out time, see page 104.
Others
● Synchro Stop
When Synchro Stop is on, you can stop and start the Style anytime you want by simply releasing or playing the keys (in
the chord section of the keyboard). This is a great way to add dramatic breaks and accents to your performance.

various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 99
for details.
The Mega Voices are not intended to be played from the keyboard. They
are primarily designed for use with recorded MIDI sequence data (such
as songs and styles). Some of the guitar and bass Voices in particular
have been created as Mega Voices for the PSR-3000, and are easily distinguished from the normal Voices by their icons in the Voice Selection
display.
What makes Mega Voices special is their use of velocity switching. Normal Voices use velocity switching, too—to make the sound quality and/
or level of a Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This
makes the PSR-3000 Voices sound authentic and natural. However,
with Mega Voices, each velocity range (the measure of your playing
strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a Mega guitar Voice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having
those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination
to achieve the desired effect. However, now with Mega Voices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific
velocity values to play the desired sounds.
Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the
keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating
MIDI data—especially when you want to avoid using several different
Voices just for a single instrument part.

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and

lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect
(depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
With the digital effects built into the PSR-3000/1500, you can add
ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways—such as adding
reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.
•The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part.
•The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the
DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change
the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.
You can use a pedal to turn the
Harmony/Echo effects on and off
(page 191).
Portamento:
Portamento is a function that cre
ates a smooth transition in pitch
from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next. The portamento time (the pitch transition

Harmony/Echo Types
The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the
particular effect applied.
Harmony Types
These types apply the harmony
effect to notes played in the
right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord
specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that
the “1+5” and “Octave” settings
are not affected by the chord.)
Multi Assign Type
This type applies a special
effect to chords played in the
right-hand section of the keyboard.
● Harmony Types
When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to
notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type
selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard
shown below.

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

EQ (Equalizer)
Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall
frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of
the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too
“boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound
is relatively “dead” and free of echoes. The PSR-3000/1500 possesses a high-grade
five-band digital EQ. With this function, a final effect—tone control can be added
to the output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ settings in
the EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the
frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

The available parameters differ
depending on the Voice.
Portamento Time:
The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time.
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch
from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.
Editable Parameters in the SOUND CREATOR Displays
The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays
explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure” on page 95. The Sound Creator
parameters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set
parameters (page 101), which are automatically called up when the Voice is
selected.
COMMON
VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity, or how greatly the volume responds to
your playing strength.
A setting of “0” produces more extreme drops in level, the more
softly you play, while a setting of “64” is normal response, and
“127” produces high volume for any playing strength (fixed).
PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves.
When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1-2 parts, the
R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the
LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available.
MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or
polyphonically (page 83).
PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to “MONO”
above.
CONTROLLER
MODULATION
The MODULATION wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well
as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates
each of the following parameters.
FILTER Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cut-
AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude
LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or
LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter
LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude,

SOUND
● FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking
or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall
timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to
making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
Voice Creating—Sound Creator
BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the
filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound.
Volume
These frequencies are
“passed” by the filter.
Cutoff frequency
Cutoff range
Frequency (pitch)
HARMONIC CONTENT Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance),
set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a
more pronounced effect.
Volume
Resonance
Frequency (pitch)
● EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound
changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural
acoustic instruments—such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or
the long release of a sustained piano tone.
Using, Creating and Editing Voices
ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after
the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a
slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the
quicker the decay.
RELEASE Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is
released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result
in a more pronounced Vibrato.
SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.
DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of
a key and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the
delay of the Vibrato onset.
EFFECT/EQ
1. REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH
REVERB DEPTH Adjusts the reverb (page 91) depth.
CHORUS DEPTH Adjusts the chorus (page 91) depth.
DSP DEPTH Adjusts the DSP (page 91) depth.
If you want to re-select the DSP type, you can do so in the DSP
menu explained on page 98.
DSP ON/OFF Determines whether the DSP is on or off.
PANEL SUSTAIN Determines the sustain level applied to the edited voice when the
SUSTAIN is set to ON from the VOICE EFFECT display.
2. DSP
DSP TYPE Selects the DSP effect category and type. Select a type after select-
ing a category.
VARIATION Two variations are provided for each DSP type.
Here, you can edit the VARIATION on/off status and variationparameter value setting.
ON/OFF
The factory-programmed assignments are set to variation-off for
all Voices (standard variation of DSP is assigned). If you select
VARIATION ON here, a variation of the DSP effect is assigned to
the Voice. The variation parameter value can be adjusted in the
VALUE menu explained below.
PARAMETER
Displays the variation parameter.
VALUE
Adjusts the value of the DSP variation parameter.

3. EQ
EQ LOW/HIGH These determine the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ
bands.
HARMONY
Same as in the [FUNCTION] → [F] HARMONY/ECHO display. See page 83.
Creating Your Original Organ Flutes Voices
The PSR-3000/1500 features a variety of lush, dynamic organ Voices that you can
call up with the [ORGAN FLUTES] button. It also gives you the tools to create your
own original organ sounds by using the Sound Creator function. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sounds by adjusting the levels of the flute
footages.

Editable Parameters in the SOUND CREATOR [ORGAN FLUTES]
displays
The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays
explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure.” The Organ Flutes parameters are
organized into three different pages. The parameters in each page are described
separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters
(page 101), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected.

Footage:
The term “footage” is a reference
to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the
sound is produced by pipes of
different lengths (in feet).
FOOTAGE
16' ← → 5 1/3'
16'–1'
Switches the controllable footage (by using the [D] button), between 16'
and 5 1/3'.
Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes. 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.
