the lowest note.
• Seventh flatted fifth chords will be recognized only if
either the root or flatted seventh is the lowest note.
• For diminished and augmented chords, the lowest key
pressed is regarded as the root of the chord,

Recording and Playing Back Your Music
The CHORD MEMORY function of the PSR-210 and the MELODY AND CHORD MEMORY function of the
PSR-310 allow you to record and play back chord and melody sequences. (Melody sequences can only be
recorded and played back by the PSR-310.)
The (MELODY AND) CHORD MEMORY function is also equipped with three separate Banks that can be used
to record different sequences. The Banks can be chained — i.e. they will play back in any specified order. This
allows you to record a verse and chorus in different Banks, then “chain” them in the desired order for playback.
Recording a Sequence
▼ To record a sequence:
1. Select the Single Finger or Fingered mode and choose an

Accompaniment Style that is appropriate for the type of music
you want to record.
2. Press one of the BANK buttons while holding the REC button.
This engages the Record Ready mode for the selected Bank. The Bank indi
cator will flash, the metronome will sound, and three dots along the top of the
MULTI DISPLAY will flash at the selected tempo.
Press the REC button again if you want to disengage the Record Ready mode
and perform some other function.
Before actually starting to record, try setting a tempo that will be easy to
record by using the TEMPO + and - buttons.
3. Recording will begin as soon as you play a note or chord in the
left-hand section of the keyboard (Synchro Start operation).
Recording can also be started by pressing the START/STOP button. In
this case the rhythm will begin without bass and chord accompaniment
until a chord is detected in the left-hand section of the keyboard.
4. Play the required chords and melody (The melody is recorded
by the PSR-310 only).
5. Press either the START/STOP button or the SYNCHRO START/
ENDING button to stop recording.
Sequenœs recorded with the (MELODYAND) CHORD
MEMORY are retained in memory even when the POWER
switch is turned off (provided power is supplied to the Por-
taTone by batteries or a power adaptor).
Whenever you record using thé (MELODY AND) CHORD
MEMORY, any previously recorded data in the same Bank
will be erased.
The CHORD MEMORY records the following data: Style
number, chord timing, chords. Intro, Fill in, and Ending.
In addition to these the PSR-310‘s MELODY AND CHORD
MEMORY lets you record the melody performance data
from the right-hand section of the keyboard, including the
selected voice number.
□ The PSR-210 can record chord sequences that contain a
maximum of 60 chords per Bank (with one chord change
per measure). The PSR-310 Can record melody and chord
sequences that contain either a maximum of 1600 notes or
200 chords per Bank (or a reduced combination of both).
j With the PSR-310, recording will also begin if you play a
melody in the right-hand section. Until you press a key in
the left-hand section, only the melody will be recorded.
J You cannot change the Accompaniment Style while
recording.
J If the memory becomes full while recording, “End” will
appear on the MULTI DISPLAY, and recording will stop

MIDI (PSR-310 only)
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard commu
nication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and
equipment to share musical information and control one another. This
makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equip
ment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with
isolated instruments.
You will need a MIDI cable if you want to connect the PSR-310 to an
other MIDI device.
The PSR-310 features two MIDI modes; Remote Control and Multi.
The Remote Control Mode
The Remote Control mode can be used to let the PSR-310 control other
MIDI devices, or it can be used to let other devices control the PSR-310. It
allows you, for example, to record your PSR-3 lO’s performance data on a
sequencer or you could play the Accompaniment of the PSR-310 from a
master keyboard. The Remote Control mode is automatically selected
whenever the PSR-310 is turned on. However, if Multi mode has been se
lected (see below), the Remote Control mode can be re-selected.
To select the Remote Control mode:

• ACCOMPANIMENT, SONG BOOK, MELODY AND
CHORD MEMORY performance data.
• Performance data from the left-hand section of the key
board in Single Finger or Fingered mode.
_
ij The following data can be received:

• MIDI START, STOP, and CLOCK messages. (External
CLOCK messages override the PSR-310 TEMPO but
tons; if you try to operate them “EC" will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY If after that no other external CLOCK
messages are sent, the PSR-310 settings will become
effective.)
• In Split mode, different voices can be produced in the
left and right-hand sections of the keyboard when the
appropriate MIDI messages are sent over separate
channels.
□ When the PSR-310 is set to Single Finger or Fingered
mode the PSR-310’s accompaniment can be controlled
from another MIDI device.

Velocity sensitivity is the same for all voices.
MIDI START, STOP, and Clock messages are not

MIDI Channels
MIDI channels allow communication between individual devices in a MIDI system. Before you can communi
cate with a particular MIDI device you need to match its MIDI channel. A sending device can send messages on ^
any of 16 MIDI channels. Only the receiving MIDI devices that are set to that channel receive the messages. A
MIDI device can also be set to receive MIDI messages on all channels; this is known as the OMNI ON mode.
MIDI Transmission Channel
The PSR-310 can be set to transmit on any of its 16 MIDI channels.
▼ To set the MIDI transmit channel:
1. Hold down the REC button and press the NUMERIC

2. While still holding down the REC button press one of the key
board keys (C1 through El>2) to select a corresponding MIDI
channel.
The keys Cl through El’2 correspond to MIDI channels 1 through 16.
MIDI Reception Channels
The PSR-310 can be set to receive on any of the 16 MIDI channels or to ALL MIDI channels (OMNI ON).
T To set the MIDI receive channel:
1. Hold down the REC button and press the NUMERIC

Polyphony
The maximum polyphony of the PSR-210 and PSR-310 is 28 notes. This means that your keyboard can generate
a maximum of 28 notes at the same time. This number not only includes notes played by you on the keyboard
but also the notes played back by the Accompaniment, (Melody and) Chord Memory, Sound Effects, and the
Demonstration Songs. If more than 28 notes are played at the same time, some notes may not sound, and some
may be truncated (cut off).

Troubleshooting
Problem
D Turning the POWER switch on or off produces a
“pop” sound.
G Accompaniment won’t function. No Accompaniment
is produced when you play in the left-hand section of
the keyboard.
□ The Accompaniment chords don’t seem to change
properly.
□ The sound is distorted or intermittent.
□ Sustain is on, after disconnecting the foot switch.3Connect the foot switch again, or turn on the power again after turning it off.
3 This is norm al and is no cause for alarm .
3
Is the Accompaniment volume turned up high enough?
Accompaniment w on’t function if the Fingered mode is selected and you’re using Single
3
Finger type fingering or improper chord fingering.
Make sure that you are playing the proper chords in the proper mode (The Single Finger and
3
Fingered mode arc each designed to recognize different chords or key combinations,)
Make sure that you completely release the keys of one chord before playing another one.
3
3In this case, your batteries are probably depleted and need replacement.
