About the PSR-5700 Manuals
The PSR-5700 comes with two manuals: “Getting Started” (this manual), and the “Advanced Features” manual.
■ The “Getting Started” Manual
This, as its name suggests, is the manual you should
start with. The “Getting Started” manual will teach you
everything you need to basically play and enjoy the PSR5700, concentrating on the keys and controls that you’ll
use most frequently.
The Getting Started manual covers:
● Playing the demonstration.
● Selecting and playing voices.
● Tuning and transposition.
● Voice registration.
● Using the auto accompaniment functions.
● The multi, tempo, and percussion pads.
● Expression and effects.
● The panel registration feature.
● Playing Disk Orchestra Collection disks.
Go through the Getting Started manual first!
■ The “Advanced Features” Manual
The Advanced Features manual is the manual you’ll
want to refer to after you gain initial familiarity with the
PSR-5700 — i.e. after you’ve carefully gone through the
Getting Started manual. As its name suggests, the Advanced Features manual concentrates on the many advanced features and utility functions provided by the
PSR-5700.
The Advanced Features manual covers:
● The sequencer.
● The custom accompaniment programmer.
● Custom voice editing.
● The PSR-5700’s digital effects.
● Floppy disk operations.
● And a range of other functions including MIDI
operations and General MIDI Level 1 protocol
compatibility.
Unlike the Getting started manual which is designed
to be read through from beginning to end, the Advanced
Features manual allows you to directly reference information on individual features and functions.
■ Icons
The following simple icons are used throughout this
manual to draw attention to important points and information where necessary. The icons also make it easier to
differentiate between information that you should read
immediately and information that can be skipped until
later, hopefully helping you to become familiar with the
PSR-5700 in the quickest, most efficient manner possible.
This icon warns of possible hardware damage, software malfunction, or any other seri-

This icon marks information that you must
read — i.e. important steps or procedures
that are essential for proper, efficient, or
easy operation.
The magnifying-glass icon indicates information that may not be essential for general
operation, but is a more detailed explanation
of a feature, a description of the principle
involved, etc. You can skip this information
if full details are not required immediately.

Hints or ideas that are not specifically musical but may make operation easier or more
interesting are marked by the light-bulb

Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below:
■ Location
■ Power Supply
■ Turn Power OFF When Making
Connections
Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid defor-
mation, 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.
● Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use.
● 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.
● To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is con-
nected (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
■ Cleaning
4
● Never apply excessive force to the controls, connectors 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.
● 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 may 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
■ Handle Floppy Disks and the
Disk Drive With Care
● Internal data (e.g. sequencer data) is retained in memory even if the
power switch is turned OFF. If the power is not turned ON for periods
longer than about a week, however, memory data will be lost. Save all
important data to disk before turning off for longer periods.
● Internal memory data can be corrupted due to incorrect operation. Be
sure to “save” important data to a floppy disk frequently so you have 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 copy of disks that contain very important
data, and keep backup disks in a safe place away from stray magnetic
fields (i.e. away from speakers, appliances containing motors, etc.).
● Do not bend or apply pressure to the floppy disk. Do not open the shutter
and touch the surface of the floppy disk inside.
● Do not expose the disk to high temperatures. (e.g. direct sunlight)
● Use only 3.5” 2DD type floppy disks.
● Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields. Magnetic fields can partially
or totally erase data on the disk, rendering the disk unreadable.
● To eject a floppy disk, press the eject button slowly as far as it will go
then, when the disk is fully ejected, remove it by hand.
The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too
quickly, or it is not pressed in as far as it will go (the eject button may
become stuck in a half-pressed position and the disk extends from the
drive slot by only a few millimeters). If this happens, do not attempt to
pull out the partially ejected disk. Using force in this situation can damage the disk-drive mechanism or the floppy disk. To remove a partially
ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again, or push the disk
back into the slot and then repeat the eject procedure carefully.
● Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects
may cause damage to the disk drive or the floppy disk.
● Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the drive when moving the PSR-
5700. Moving the instrument while a floppy disk is loaded can damage
both the drive and the disk.
● Apply floppy disk labels carefully! Improperly applied disk labels (wrin-
kled, protruding corners, etc.) can cause the disk to become stuck in the
disk drive.
■ Service and Modification
● The PSR-5700 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tamper-
ing with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.
YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

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 HEADPHONES jack.
The rear-panel AUX. OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the
PSR-5700 for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a
mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-5700 to
a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted
into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals are combined
and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the PSR-5700
sound.

CAUTION
ment.
These jacks are intended primarily for use with external audio sources
such as tone generators, drum machines, CD players, and similar equipment. The signal received via the AUX. IN L and R jacks is reproduced via
the PSR-5700’s internal stereo amplifier and speaker system. If you will be
connecting a monaural source to the PSR-5700, use only the L/L+R jack.
When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the monaural input signal
is fed to both the left and right channels of the PSR-5700 stereo sound system. Please note that the PSR-5700 MASTER VOLUME control does not
affect the level of the signal delivered to external equipment.
The supplied FC5 footswitch or a second (optional) footswitch connected
to this jack can be used to control a range of important functions. Refer to
the “FOOT SWITCH SELECT” function described on page 37 of the Advanced Features manual.

PEDAL
The PSR-5700 comes with an FC5 footswitch that should be connected
here for foot sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper pedal
on a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.
An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be connected to this jack
to allow foot expression (swell) or effect control. Please note that when the
pedal is used for expression control, no sound will be produced if the expression pedal is set to the minimum position.
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-
5700. The MIDI THRU connector re-transmits any data received at the
MIDI IN connector, allowing “chaining” of several MIDI instruments or
other devices. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by
the PSR-5700 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).
More details on MIDI are provided on page 50 of the Advanced Features
manual.
The Music Stand
The PSR-5700 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to
the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control
panel.

The Demonstration
To give you an idea of the PSR-5700’s sophisticated capabilities, it is programmed
with four demonstration sequences which play automatically.
The demonstration sequences have been specially programmed for demonstration purposes — it is not possible to reproduce the demonstration sequences

The PSR-5700 has three orchestration modes, selected by the corresponding ORCHESTRATION buttons. The corresponding ORCHESTRATION
indicator will light.
ORCH. 1: In this mode a single voice — the ORCH. 1 voice — can
be played across the entire keyboard.
ORCH. 2+1: This is a “dual” mode in which two voices — ORCH. 1 and
ORCH. 2 — can be played simultaneously across the entire
keyboard.
ORCH. 2v1: This is a “split” mode in which the ORCH. 2 voice is
played on the left-hand section of the keyboard (to the left
of the “split point” — see “DETAIL” below), while the
ORCH. 1 voice is played on the right-hand section of the
keyboard. Since two voices are played simultaneously in
this mode, the total number of notes that can be played on
the keyboard at the same time is reduced.
The split point for the PSR-5700 is initially set at F#2 when the unit is shipped.
This means that when the “ORCH. 2v1” mode is selected, the ORCH. 2 voice
DETAIL
will be played by all keys to the left of and including F#2, while the ORCH. 1
voice will be played on all keys to the right of F#2. You can change the split
point to any key desired by using the SPLIT POINT function described on page
40 of the Advanced Features manual.
When the “ORCH.2+1” mode is selected and the same voice is selected for
both ORCH. 1 and ORCH. 2, the sound may be slightly different from the nor-

VOICE SELECT
Press the [ORCH. 1] or [ORCH. 2] VOICE PART button, depending on
which voice you want to select. The corresponding VOICE PART indicator
will light and the “>” cursor on the LCD panel will move to the corresponding voice position.
Use the VOICE SELECT buttons to enter the number of the desired
voice. Press a button in the upper row (BANK) to select the “BANK” or
“tens” digit, and then a button in the lower row (NUMBER) to select the
“ones” digit. For example, to select voice number 73 (HARP), press the
BANK [7] button and then the NUMBER [3] button.
If a BANK button is pressed but then no NUMBER button is pressed for more
than about 3 seconds, the BANK entry will automatically be cancelled.

You can now play the selected voice or voices with the selected orchestration. Use the [MASTER] volume control to adjust the overall volume
level, and the [ORCH. 1] and [ORCH. 2] VOLUME controls to set the desired balance between the ORCH. 1 and ORCH. 2 voices when either the
dual or split orchestration mode is used.
The tone of some voices may change slightly at one or more points on the
keyboard. Some voices may also shift octaves on some of the lowest and high-
DETAIL
est keys of the keyboard. This is due to the way in which the voice waveforms
were initially sampled and is not a malfunction.
Voice numbers 90 through 97 are actually combinations of two voices, so the
total number of simultaneous notes that can be played when these voices are
DETAIL
selected is less than when any of the other voices are selected.

Keyboard Percussion
When voice number 98 (DRUM KIT) or 99 (POP DRUM KIT) is selected, you can play 59 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
DRUM KIT and POP DRUM KIT voices sound different even though they
have the same name, while others are essentially the same.
The Transpose, Tune, Sustain, Harmony, Left Hold, Modulation, and Octave

The pitch bend wheel can be used to bend the pitch of the keyboard percussion

Transposition, Tuning, and Octave Change
The most important and fundamental adjustment for any musical instrument is tuning.
The TRANSPOSITION, TUNING, and OCTAVE CHANGE functions described below let
you control the pitch of the PSR-5700 in a number of ways.
TRANSPOSE/TUNE
This function allows the overall pitch of the PSR-5700 to be transposed up or down in
semitone increments, and fine-tuned in 0.5 Hertz increments.
Press the [TRANSPOSE/

CHANGE
Use the left [-] and [+] buttons to set the desired degree of transposition,
and the right [-] and [+] buttons to set the desired degree of tuning.
The transpose range is from -6 to +6, allowing a maximum upward or
downward transposition of 1/2-octave. A setting of 0 produces the normal
pitch. The “0” setting can be instantly recalled by pressing both the left [-]
and [+] buttons simultaneously.
The tuning range is from 427.5 Hertz to 452.5 Hertz, adjustable in 0.5Hertz increments. 440.0 Hertz is “normal” pitch, and this setting can be
directly recalled by pressing both the right [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously.

DETAIL
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
IMPORTANT
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 transpose and octave change

settings will take effect from the next notes played while tune settings take
effect immediately.
