PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions 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:

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Use the specified adaptor (PA-5, PA-5B, PA-5C or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

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:

• 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.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• 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.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/– polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.

• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

• Keep batteries away from children.

• 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.

• 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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

• 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.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl or plastic 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.

• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

• 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.

■ SAVING USER DATA

• Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF2, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

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.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Basic Display Operation

Shortcuts

To make operation as easy and as efficient as possible, the PSR-330 features a number of “shortcuts” which allow you to jump directly to certain functions without having to use the MENU and SUB MENU buttons. All of these shortcuts work in the same way: press and hold a panel button for a few seconds to go to the related function. For example, if you press and hold the [REVERB] button for a few seconds, you will go directly to the REVERB type selection function. The shortcut buttons and the functions they access are listed on the PSR-330 panel, near the upper left corner of the display . The shorcuts will also be described where appropriate throughout this manual.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-330 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-330.

Power Supply

Although the PSR-330 will run either from an optional A C adaptor or batteries, Y amaha recommends use of the more enviromentally safe AC adaptor . Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.

■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor

z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-5, PA-5B, or PA-5C Power Adaptor into a wall

AC outlet.

x Then plug the DC output cable from the PA-5, PA-5B, or P A-5C into the DC

IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of the PSR-330. The internal batteries are

automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.

DC IN 10-12V

PA-5,

PA-5B,

PA- 5C

When turning the power OFF, simply r everse the procedure.

• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-330 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA5, PA-5B, or PA-5C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-330.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-330, or during electrical storms.

■ Using Batteries

For battery operation the PSR-330 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries.

Replace the batteries as follows:

z Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’ s bottom panel. x Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on

the inside of the compartment.

c Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.

• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.

• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

Connections

■ The PHONES Jack

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or

late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack.

Setting Up

■ SUSTAIN Jack

An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the rear-panel

SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper pedal on a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.

SUSTAIN

■ MIDI IN and OUT Connectors

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such

as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the PSR-330. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-330 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard). More details on MIDI are provided on page 66.

• Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.

The PSR-330 Voices

The PSR-330 actually includes two voice sets: the “panel” voices and drum kits (listed on the PSR-330 panel), and the GM (General MIDI) voices. The panel voices include 126 “pitched” voices (voice numbers 1 through 126) and 10 drum kits (numbers 127 through 136), while the GM voice set includes 128 pitched voices (voice numbers 137 through 264).

Panel voices 1 … 126 Panel drum kits 127 … 136 GM voices 137 … 264

■ A Word About the “R1”, “R2”, and “L” Voices

The PSR-330 allows up to three voices to be selected at the same time: “R1” (Righthand 1), “R2”, (Right-hand 2) and “L” (Left-hand). Only the “R1” voice is used when you’re playing a single voice o ver the entire range of the keyboard. When you’ re using the DUAL VOICE and/or SPLIT VOICE modes (decribed on pages 17 and 18), however , the “R2” and/or “L” voice will be used as well. The numbers of the currently selected R1, R2, and L voices are all shown on the display panel.

When a style is selected the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain data for any section of that style will light.

● What’s in the Tracks

RHYTHM 1 & 2 These are the main rhythm tracks. The RHYTHM tracks produce the

drum and percussion sounds.

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.

CHORD 1 & 2 These tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by

each style. You’ll find guitar, piano , and other chordal instruments here.

PAD This track pla ys long chords where necessary, using sustained instru-

ments such as strings, organ, choir.

PHRASE 1 & 2 This is where the m usical embellishments reside. The PHRASE trac ks

are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.

• Individual track voices, volume, and other parameters can be changed by using the REVOICE function — page 58.

■ Muting Individual Tracks

Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by using the

TRACK buttons corresponding to the target tracks. The track icon will disappear when a track is muted.

● F2: The FINGERED 2 Mode

FngrngMd

This is essentially the same as the FINGERED 1 mode, described above, except that the FINGERED 2 mode additionally allows you to specify the lowest note of each chord — simply, the lowest note played in the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard is used as the accompaniment bass note. This means you can specify “on-bass” chords in which the main bass note for the chord is not the root of the chord. For a C major chord, for example, you could use E (the third) or G (the fifth) as the bass note rather than C.

● FuL: The FULL KEYBOARD Mode

FuL

In this mode the PSR-330 automatically differentiates between left-hand chords and right-hand melody, no matter where they are played on the keyboard. Righthand chords with a left-hand bass line — single or octave — are also recognized. In the first case left-hand chords are recognized and accompaniment is produced in the same way as in the FINGERED 1 mode, in the latter case the right-hand chords are recognized in the same way but the accompaniment bass line will be based on the left-hand bass line you play. T his means you can play in just about any style anywhere on the keyboard, and the PSR-330 will automatically produce appropriate accompaniment.

FngrngMd

• A single note one octave lower than the lowest note of the chord is recognized as a bass note, and notes eleven notes or more higher are recognized as melody notes.

Auto Accompaniment

● MuL: The MULTI-FINGER Mode

muL

FngrngMd

This is the default accompaniment mode. The MULTI-FINGER mode automatically detects SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED 1 chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes.

◆ The Stop Accompaniment Function

While the SINGLE FINGER, FINGERED 1, FINGERED 2, or MULTI-FINGER mode is selected chords played in the AUTO ACCOMPNIMENT section of the keyboard are also detected and played by the PSR-330 Auto Accompaniment system when the accompaniment is stopped (except when the FULL KEYBOARD mode is engaged). In this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically.

• When the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT split point and SPLIT VOICE split point are set to the same key, the L voice and the automatically selected bass note will sound.

Harmony

When HARMONY is on and HARMONY type 1 through 4 is selected (see list below), playing single notes or chords on the right-hand section of the keyboard produces automatic harmony matched to the accompaniment chords (AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT m ust be on). HARMONY types 5 through 25 ar e delay-based effects which do not depend on the A UTO ACCOMPANIMENT chords. Harmony is applied to the R1 voice. When chords are played the harmony is based on the last note played (i.e. last-note priority).

The PSR-330 has 25 different harmony types, as listed below.

Type Description

1 Duet An extra note is added to the melody

to produce duet type harmony.

2 Trio Two notes are added below the

melody for three-part harmony.
