SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE:

The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the time of printing. However, Yamaha reserves the right to change or modify any of the specifications without notice or obligation to update existing units.

This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speaker/s, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO NOT operate for long periods of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist.

IMPORTANT: The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before damage occurs.

Some Yamaha products may have benches and / or accessory mounting fixtures that are either supplied with the product or as optional accessories. Some of these items are designed to be dealer assembled or installed. Please make sure that benches are stable and any optional fixtures (where applicable) are well secured BEFORE using.

NOTICE:

Service charges incurred due to a lack of knowledge relating to how a function or effect works (when the unit is operating as designed) are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and are therefore the owners responsibility. Please study this manual carefully and consult your dealer before requesting service.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:

Yamaha strives to produce products that are both user safe and environmentally friendly. We sincerely believe that our products and the production methods used to produce them, meet these goals. In keeping with both the letter and the spirit of the law, we want you to be aware of the following:

This product may also use “household” type batteries. Some of these may be rechargeable. Make sure that the battery being charged is a rechargeable type and that the charger is intended for the battery being charged.

When installing batteries, do not mix batteries with new, or with batteries of a different type. Batteries MUST be installed correctly. Mismatches or incorrect installation may result in overheating and battery case rupture.

Warning:

Do not attempt to disassemble, or incinerate any battery. Keep all batteries away from children. Dispose of used batteries promptly and as regulated by the laws in your area. Note: Check with any retailer of household type batteries in your area for battery disposal information.

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.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 27), floppy disk, SmartMedia card, or appropriate external media.

Recorded/Edited Songs (page 42, 141, 156)

Created/Edited Styles (page 112)

Edited Voices (page 95)

Memorized One Touch Settings (page 50)

Edited MIDI settings (page 201)

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.

Data in the USER tab display (page 27) may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a floppy disk, SmartMedia card, or external media.

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

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

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Introduction

What can you do with the PSR-3000/1500?

DEMO

Explore the Demos (page 24)

These not only showcase the stunning voices and styles of the instrument, they introduce you to the various functions and features — and give you hands-on experience using the PSR-3000/1500!

Vocal Harmony (PSR-3000 only)

Add automatic vocal backing to your singing (page 180)

The amazing Vocal Harmony feature (on the PSR-3000) automatically produces backup vocal harmonies for lead vocals that you sing into a microphone. You can even change the gender of the harmony voices — for example, letting you add female backup to your own male voice (or vice versa).

SONG

Playback previously recorded songs (page 35, 54, 135)

Enjoy a wide variety of preset songs as well as songs on commercially available disks.

STYLE

Back up your performance with Auto Accompaniment

(page 45, 102)

Playing a chord with your left hand automatically plays the auto accompaniment backing. Select an accompaniment style — such as pop, jazz, Latin, etc. — and let the PSR-3000/1500 be your backing band!

Multi Pads

Add spice to your performance with special dynamic phrases (page 51, 126)

By simply pressing one of the Multi Pads, you can play short rhythmic or melodic phrases. You can also create your original Multi Pad phrases by recording them directly from the keyboard.

LCD

The large LCD (together with the various panel buttons) provides comprehensive and easy-to-understand control of the PSR-3000/1500’s operations.

MUSIC FINDER

Call up the perfect accompaniment style (page 52, 107)

If you know what song you want to play, but you don’t know which style or voice would be right for it, let the Music Finder help you. Just select the song title, and the PSR-3000/ 1500 automatically calls up the most appropriate style and voice.

VOICE

Enjoy a huge variety of realistic voices

(page 29, 76)

The PSR-3000/1500 features a wealth of exceptionally authentic and dynamic voices — including piano, strings, woodwinds, and more!

Organ Flutes

Craft your own organ voices (page 99)

This special function not only gives you a full set of rich and luscious organ sounds, it also lets you create your own original organ voices, just as on a traditional organ, by increasing and decreasing the flute footages, and adding percussive sounds.

DIGITAL RECORDING

Record your performances (page 42, 141)

With the powerful and easy-to-use song recording features, you can record your own keyboard performances, and create your own complete, fully orchestrated compositions — which you can then save to the USER drive or a SmartMedia for future recall.

USB TO DEVICE terminal

Connect the instrument directly to the Internet (page 165) or to the USB storage device (page 195)

Connecting the LAN adaptor with the USB type to this terminal lets you access the web site on the internet and download song data.

Connecting the USB storage device (such as floppy disk and hard disk drive) to this terminal lets you save various types of data created on the instrument.

USB TO HOST terminal

Make music with a computer — quickly and easily (page 194)

Dive in and take advantage of the wide world of computer music software. Connections and setup are exceptionally easy, and you can play back your computer recorded parts with different instrument sounds — all from a single PSR-3000/ 1500!

Introduction

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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-avail- able 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).

Write-protect tab open (protect position)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
