Taking Care of Your PortaTone

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, outside , or

in a car during the daytime).

● Excessive humidity.

● Excessive dust.

● Strong vibration.

■ Power Supply

● In some areas the PSR-4000 will

have a voltage selector on the bottom panel. Make sure that the voltage selector is set for the AC mains voltage in your area. The voltage selector can be set (rotated) by using a screwdriver. If in doubt, contact your Yamaha dealer.

● T urn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use. (The PSR-4000 uses a ver y small amount of power to maintain the internal memory contents even when no batteries are installed and the power is turned off.)

● The power supply 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 adapters since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation errors, and possibly damage.

■ Memory Backup Batteries

The PSR-4000 requires four 1.5 V C size (LR14) batteries for memory backup power. If no backup batteries are installed, the memory contents will be lost when then instrument is unplugged from the AC mains supply . Please use alkaline batteries. The av erage life of a set of alkaline batteries is about 12 months.

1. Open Battery Compartment Cover

Open the battery compartment cover — located on the instrument’s bottom panel — by pressing on the two latches on the cover and pulling outward, as shown in the illustration.

2. Insert Batteries

Insert the four batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the bottom panel.

3. Replace Cover

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

110V

240V

1 3

220V

NOTES

• Never mix old and new, or different type of batteries!

• To prevent damage due to battery leakage, it is a good idea

to remove the batteries from the PSR-4000 (after saving any important data to disk) if it is not to be used an extended period of time. (YAMAHA is not responsible irretrievable internal data.)

0 V

■

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), turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting audio and MIDI cables.

■ Handling and Transport

● Never apply excessive force to the controls, connec-

tors 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 instrument.

● Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or

placing heavy objects on the instrument can result in scratches and more serious damage.

■ 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 ma y cause

interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment.

■ Data Backup

● Save all important data to disk before turning off for

longer periods.

● Internal data (e.g. Registration data) is retained in memory even if the power switch is turned OFF when backup batteries are installed as described above. If you do not intend to use the PSR-4000 for an e xtended period of time, it is a good idea to unplug the instrument from the AC outlet and remove the batteries.

Taking Care of Your PortaTone

● Internal memor y data can be corr upted due to incorrect operation. Be sure to “save” important data to a floppy disk frequently so you hav e a backup to revert to if something happens to damage the data in memory. Also note that magnetic fields can damage data on the disk, so it is advisable to make a second back-up cop y of disks that contain very important data, and keep backup disks in a safe place away from stray magnetic fields (i.e. a wa y from speak ers, appliances containing motors, etc.).

Floppy Disks & the Disk Drive

■ Type of Disk

Use only 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks.

■ Disk Insertion & Removal

● To inser t a floppy disk in the disk drive, hold the disk

with the label side facing up and the sliding shutter facing the disk drive door , then insert carefully until the disk clicks into place.

● T o remove a flopp y disk from the disk drive, make sure the “DISK IN USE” light is not lit and press the disk eject button firmly as far as it will go and then, when the disk is full ejected, remove it by hand.

If the eject button is only partially pressed or pressed too quickly the eject mechanism may not function properly , leaving the disk stuck halfway . Do not attempt to remove the disk forcefully if this happens, since excess force can damage the disk and/or the drive mechanism. Try either pressing the eject b utton carefully again, or push the disk all the way back into the drive and repeat the eject procedure.

■ Service and Modification

● The PSR-4000 contains no user serviceable parts.

Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock. Ref er all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.

ing Disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask y our Yamaha dealer about the available of head-cleaning disks.

■ Floppy Disk Handling & Storage

The actual recording medium inside a floppy disk has a fine coating of magnetic particles in which the data is “stored”. To protect this coating as well as the disk drive’s delicate read-write head, please observe the following:

● Always keep floppy disks in their case when they are not in use. Never place heavy objects on a disk or bend the disk in any way. Also k eep disks a wa y from liquids and dust.

● Never open the disk’s shutter and touch the exposed surface of the disk.

● Keep floppy disks away from strong magnetic fields such as those produced by television sets, speakers, motors, etc.

● Never leave floppy disks in areas exposed to strong direct sunlight, excessively high or low temper ature, or high humidity.

● Never use a floppy disk with a defor med 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.

● Never attempt to remove a flopp y disk during a record or playback operation!! This can corrupt the data on the disk, and actually damage the 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/write errors.

■ 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 we recommend that you use a commercially-availab le

Dry-type Head Clean-

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

■ Protecting Your data

● To prevent accidental erasure of important data you

have saved to floppy disk, be sure to slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “write protect” position (the tab window should be open). When this is done the disk cannot be written to.

● Make regular backup copies of important data to a separate floppy disk, and keep your bac kup disks in a separate, safe place.

● T o ensure the safety of y our data (and of the disk drive itself) always use floppy disks from a well-known, reliable manufacturer. “No-brand” disks can cause trouble.

The PSR-4000 Display & Display-based Controls

The Display & Multi-function Controls

The PSR-4000 makes general operation and programming easier than ever with a large backlit LCD display panel and multi-function controls. The 8 LCD selectors — four on either side of the display panel — and 8 LCD [▲/▼] controls below the display perform the function indicated by the adjacent section of the display. In the example display shown here, for example, the LCD [▲/ ▼] control immediately below LEAD on the display can be used to adjust the volume of the LEAD voice. Press the [▲] end of the control to increase the volume, or the [▼] end of the control to decrease the volume. In the same way, the LCD button immediately to the right of LEAD on the display is used to set the normal octave for the lead voice (“0”), shift it one octave up (“+1”), or one octave down (“–1”).

■ The [MIXER] Button..................................................................................................................................................................

The lower section of the normal play mode display, shown above, provides individual volume controls for the PSR-4000’s song, multi pad, accompaniment, left, right 1, right 2, and lead sound. Pressing the ACCOMP. VOLUME LCD button switches to the individual auto-accompaniment part volume controls: rhythm 1, rhythm 2, bass, chord 1, chord 2, pad, phrase 1, and phrase 2. This is essentially a “mixer” that you will use the achieve the best overall balance for your musical needs. The mixer controls will disappear when functions which have different displays are selected, but can be instantly recalled without exiting from the current display mode by pressing the [MIXER] button. Pressing the [MIXER] button a second time (or the [EXIT] button) causes the mixer controls to disappear.

Selecting & Playing Voices

The PSR-4000 allows you to individually select and play up to four “orchestra parts” at the same time in a number

of ways. A range of voices can be assigned to each orchestra part.

RIGHT ORCHESTRA 1 RIGHT ORCHESTRA 2

LEAD This is a monophonic voice which can be played over the entire keyboard or to the right of

LEFT ORCHESTRA A polyphonic voice which can be played to the left of a specified split point while the

Both the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 voices are polyphonic voices which can be played over the entire keyboard or to the right of a specified split point. The default split point is the F#2 key. Either voice can be played alone, or both can be played simultaneously. The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 voices can be selected from a range of 243 voices organized in 12 groups.

a specified split point. The default split point is the F#2 key. The LEAD voice can be played alone, or simultaneously with either or both of the RIGHT ORCHESTRA voices. The LEAD voice can be selected from a range of 110 voices organized in 6 groups. When only the LEAD voice is being played it has “last note priority”. That is, only the last note played will sound. When the LEAD voice is being played with a RIGHT ORCHESTRA voice it has “highest note priority” — the highest note is played by the LEAD voice.

RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and/or LEAD voices are played to the right of the split point. The default split point is the F#2 key. The LEFT voice can be selected from a range of 200 voices organized in 6 groups.

* Voice numbers include Custom Voice.

If you press the EASY SETTING LCD button before it disappears, the easy-setting display for that part will appear providing access to the split point parameters as well as the individual octave, pan, and tune parameters for that part. These same parameters can be accessed via the FUNCTION displays (page 98), but the easy-setting displays offer an easier, more efficient way to set these parameters when selecting parts. The easy setting display for a part that is already on can be accessed by pressing the EASY SETTING LCD button while holding the corresponding part button (in this case the part button indicator will not go out when the button is released). See the following pages for details on each of the orchestra part easy setting parameters:

NOTES

• The more parts you play simultaneously, the fewer the total number of notes that can be played on the keyboard at the same time.

• When the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts are both on and the same voice is selected for both parts, the sound may be slightly different from the normal voice.

• When the LEFT part is on, the left voice will automatically be transposed up one octave.

When one of the RIGHT ORCHESTRA [DRUM KIT] voices is selected, you can play 61 different drums and percussion instruments on the keyboard. The drums and percussion instruments played by the various keys are marked by symbols above the keys. Some of the instruments in the different drum kit voices sound different even though they have the same name, while others are essentially the same.

NOTES

• When the DRUM KIT voice OCTAVE parameter is set to “–1”, 11 different instruments are available in the lowest octave.

• The Transpose, Tune, Sustain, Harmony, Left Hold, Modulation, and Pitch Bend functions do not affect the DRUM KIT voices.

• See page 129 for a complete listing of the keyboard percussion drum instrument assignments.

Playing the PSR-4000

Changing the “L” Split Point

The PSR-4000 has two programmable split points — one which divides the LEFT and RIGHT/LEAD orchestra parts, and one which divides the auto-accompaniment and manual sections of the keyboard when AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment (page 27) is engaged. In the split point displays accessed by the EASY SETTING LCD button described below, and the FUNCTION displays (page 102), the former is indicated by the “L” marker and the latter by the “A” marker above the graphic keyboard. The current split points are indicated on the display both by the split markers and the “splits” in the graphic keyboard. We’ll look at the ABC (“A”) split point in more detail in “Using the Accompaniment Section”, page 27. For now, here’s how you can change the “L” split point via the orchestra part easy-setting displays to suit your own playing requirements.

Z Select an Orchestra Part Easy Setting Display..........................................................................................

Select an orchestra part easy-setting display either by turning a part on or off and pressing the EASY SETTING LCD button before it disappears, or by pressing the EASY SETTING LCD button while holding an orchestra part button that is already on.

X Set the Split Point.......................................................................................................................................................................

The split point can be set in two ways: either use the SPLIT POINT L LCD [▲/▼] controls, or press the desired key on the keyboard while holding the L DIRECT SETTING LCD button (or vice-versa). The new split point will be indicated on the graphic keyboard in the LCD.

NOTES

• The “L” split point cannot be set lower than the “A” split

point.

• When the “L” and “A” split points are set at different keys,

the LEFT voice can be played between the “A” and “L” split points when the AUTO BASS CHORD function on. When the “L” and “A” split points are set to the same key, the LEFT voice can be played anywhere to the left of the “L” and “A” split points.

L DIRECT SETTING LCD button.

Transposition, Tuning, & Octave Change

The most important and fundamental adjustment for any musical instrument is tuning. The TRANSPOSE, TUNING, and OCTAVE CHANGE functions described below let you control the pitch of the PSR-4000 in a number of ways.

TRANSPOSE & TUNE

These functions allow the overall pitch of the PSR-4000 to be transposed up or down in semitone steps, and fine-

tuned in 0.2 Hertz steps.

Z Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE LCD Button .....................................................................................................

Select the transpose and tune functions from the normal play mode display by pressing the TRANS- POSE/TUNE LCD button.

X Set the Transposition and/or Tuning As Required...................................................................................

Use the TRANSPOSE LCD [▲/▼] controls to set the desired degree of transposition, and the TUNE LCD [▲/▼] controls to set the desired degree of tuning.

The transpose range is from –24 to +24, allowing a maximum upward or downward transposition of 2 octaves. A setting of “0” produces the normal pitch.

The tuning range is from 414.6 Hertz to 466.8 Hertz, adjustable in 0.2-Hertz steps. A3 = 440.0 Hertz is “normal” pitch.

C Return to the Main Display When Done..............................................................................................................

Press the MAIN VOLUME LCD button to exit from the transpose and tune functions and return to the main display.

Transposition, Tuning, & Octave Change

OCTAVE CHANGE

This function allows the LEFT , RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD voices to be independently transposed up or down by one octave.

The LEFT, R1, R2, and LEAD LCD buttons directly set the octave of the corresponding voice. Pressing one of these buttons changes the corresponding octave setting to “+1”, “–1”, and then “0”, in sequence. “+1” shifts the voice up one octave “–1” shifts the voice down one octave, and “0” sets the voice to its normal octave.

NOTES

• These parameters are also available in the F1 VOICE PART

function display — page 101.

• Some voices may suddenly shift octaves when played at the

extreme ends of the keyboard if they are set to a lower or higher octave than normal. This can also occur when the PITCH BEND wheel is used on extremely low or high notes.

• If you change the transpose, octave change, or tuning settings

while playing one or more notes on the keyboard, the new octave change settings will take effect from the next notes played while tune and transpose settings take effect immediately.

Using the Accompaniment Section

The PSR-4000 has 120 different preset accompaniment “styles” and up to 12 custom accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The PSR4000’s sophisticated Auto Bass Chord accompaniment system can provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment style.

X Select the Desired ABC Mode .......................................................................................................................................

Press the ABC EASY SETTING LCD button

immediately after pressing the [AUTO BASS CHORD] button to select the ABC MODE and SPLIT POINT display. Use the ABC MODE LCD [▲/▼] controls to select the SINGLE FINGER, FINGERED 1, FINGERED 2, FULL KEYBOARD, AUTO MIDI BASS, or MANUAL MIDI BASS mode. If you select the MANUAL MIDI BASS mode, and press the BASS VOICE LCD button which appears, you can use the GROUP LCD [▲/ ▼] controls to specify the bass voice to be used. Press the ABC MODE LCD button to return to the ABC MODE display as required.

Press the EXIT LCD button or [EXIT] panel

button to return to the main display when done.

The SINGLE FINGER, FINGERED 1, FINGERED 2, FULL KEYBOARD, AUTO MIDI BASS and MANUAL MIDI BASS modes function as follows:

Using the Accompaniment Section

● SINGLE FINGER (SF)

Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the lefthand section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used:

■ For a major chord, press the root key only.

■ For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root

key and a black key to its left.

■ For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root

key and a white key to its left.

■ For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press

the root key and both a white and black key to its left.

CGF

● FINGERED 1 (FC1)

This is the default ABC mode. The FINGERED 1 mode lets you finger your own chords on the ABC section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally F#2), while the PSR-4000 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected style.

The FINGERED 1 mode will accept the 34 chord types.

● FINGERED 2 (FC2)

This mode accepts the same fingerings as the FINGERED 1 mode, but the lowest note played in the ABC section of the keyboard is used as the bass root, allowing you to play “on bass” or “fraction” chords (in the FINGERED 1 mode the root of the chord is always used as the bass root).

● FULL KEYBOARD

When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged the PSR-4000 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. The name of the detected chord will appear on the display. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. Although the FULL KEYBOARD mode is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. Try playing a few simple songs in the FULL KEYBOARD mode to get a feel for its capabilities.

NOTES

• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note inter-

vals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th note in length — may therefore not be detected.

Using the Accompaniment Section

● AUTO MIDI BASS

In this mode all accompaniment parts except the bass part respond to the chord played on the keyboard. Fingering is the same as in the FINGERED 1 mode. If more than three notes are played on the ABC section of the keyboard in this mode, and if the chord played is not recognized by the PSR-4000, only the top three are used for chord recognition. All others are ignored. The bass part is determined by the note played on an external MIDI bass keyboard connected to the MIDI IN terminal and assigned to the MIDI Bass channel (page 120).

● MANUAL MIDI BASS

In this no chord recognition occurs. All accompaniment parts other than the rhythm part are muted, and a MIDI bass keyboard connected to the MIDI IN connector and assigned to the MIDI Bass channel (page 120) directly plays the bass voice selected via the BASS VOICE parameter that appears when the MANUAL MIDI BASS mode is selected in the ABC easy-setting display.

Using the Accompaniment Section

C Select a Style ...................................................................................................................................................................................

The PSR-4000 has 120 preset styles organized in 11 groups (see the “Style List” on page 130).

Use the ACCOMPANIMENT group buttons to select the group from which you want to select a style. The corresponding style display will appear.

NOTES

• The display will automatically revert to the main display

after a few seconds if the [LIST HOLD] button is not engaged (page 11).

• For easy selection some styles are repeated in different

groups.

• Custom styles which can be selected via the ACCOMPA-

NIMENT [CUSTOM] button can be created via the CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT RECORD mode described on page 69, or loaded from disk.

Use the page-number LCD [▲/▼] controls to select the page containing the style you want if more than one page is available, then press the LCD button corresponding to the desired style. You can also use either of the SELECT LCD [▲/▼] controls to select any of the styles within the selected group.

The PSR-4000 automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment bass and chords according the accompaniment style you select.

N Play On the ABC Section Of the Keyboard.....................................................................................................

As soon as you play any chord that the PSR-4000 can “recognize” on the ABC section of the keyboard in one of the FINGERED modes or the AUT O MIDI BASS (see fingering chart on page 134), an abbreviated chord in the SINGLE FINGER mode, or just about anything anywhere on the keyboard in the FULL KEYBOARD mode, the PSR-4000 will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the left-hand keys.

If the MANUAL MIDI BASS mode is selected only the rhythm accompaniment will play automatically, and selected bass voice can be played via a MIDI bass keyboard.

NOTES

• The appropriate chord and bass note will sound if you play

in the ABC section of the keyboard while the ABC function is on but the accompaniment is stopped (but not in the FULL KEYBOARD and MANUAL MIDI BASS modes). Please note that the Left Hold function (page 35) cannot be applied to these chord and bass notes.

• The sustain effect may not produce the same effect for all voices.

■ Touch Response ..........................................................................................................................................................................

The touch response function turns the PSR-4000’s keyboard velocity response on or off. Normally , touch response should be turned on — the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button indicator should be lit — to allow normal dynamic control via the keyboard (i.e. the harder the keys are played, the louder the sound). In some cases, however, you might want to turn touch response off (indicator off). For example, most organs have no keyboard velocity response, so touch response can be turned off for greater realism when playing organ type voices. T ouch response can also be turned off to create a constant-volume sound with any voice.

Use the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn touch response on or off as required.

NOTES

• Touch response sensitivity, off level, and voice assignments can be set via the
