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-

ous problem that may occur due to improper operation or set up.

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.

Suggestions as to how a feature or function can be applied musically are identified by this icon.

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

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

● 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).

Page 6

■ 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.

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

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.

+–

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 left-hand 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, press the root key and a black key to its left.

■ For a seventh chord, press the root key and a white key to its left.

■ For a minor-seventh chord, press the root key and both a white and black

key to its left.

The Manual Bass mode provides an alternative to the normal split keyboard. The bass voice assigned to the left-hand keyboard section is monophonic, while a polyphonic ORCH. 1 voice is played on the upper section of the keyboard. You can select any of the PSR-5700’s normal voices (00 through 89) to play on the lower section of the keyboard — of course, it’s normal to choose a bass voices for the left hand. No automatic bass and chord accompaniment is produced, although the Interactive Accompaniment feature (page 24) does affect the rhythm sound.

Voices created using the PSR-5700 Custom Voice feature (Advanced Features manual, page 27) can also be selected for use with the Manual Bass mode.

As soon as you play any chord that the PSR-5700 can “recognize” on the left-hand section of the keyboard in the FINGERED CHORD mode (see fingering chart on page 178) or an abbreviated chord in the SINGLE FINGER mode, the PSR-5700 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 BASS mode is selected only the rhythm accompaniment will play automatically, and selected bass voice can be played on the lefthand section of the keyboard.

The appropriate chord and bass note will sound will sound if you play in the lefthand section of the keyboard while the ABC function is on but the accompani-

Each accompaniment style has a number of variations: INTRO, VERSE 1, VERSE 2, CHORUS 1, and CHORUS 2. The VERSE and CHORUS variations further have more complex SOLO variations. There is also an ENDING variation which is described in step 9. The INTRO variation can be used to start the accompaniment as described in the preceding step. The remaining variations — VERSE 1, VERSE 2, CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2, and the SOLO variations of these — can be selected manually by pressing the corresponding variation button. It is also possible to select the variation that will follow the INTRO by pressing the appropriate variation button while the INTRO is playing or while the intro synchro start mode is engaged.

● The SOLO Variations

VERSE

CHORUS2SOLOCHORUS

Some INTRO, ENDING, and SOLO variations have their own chord progressions which play in the current accompaniment key — the key is shown

in the top left-hand corner of the LCD.

NOTE

Although the SOLO variations can be selected manually, they can also be activated automatically when INTERACTIVE ACCOMPANIMENT is engaged (see page 24). If an accompaniment is playing and nothing is played on the keyboard for several measures, the SOLO mode is automatically engaged to “fill out” the accompaniment. When SOLO is on, not only are the variations more complex, but they will automatically cycle (VERSE 1 m VERSE 2 m CHORUS 1 m CHORUS 2 m VERSE 1, etc.). If the SOLO mode is on, it will be automatically disengaged after you begin playing on the keyboard.

This automatic switching of the solo mode can be turned off via the Auto Solo function described on page 40 of the Advanced Features manual.

The SOLO variation will be automatically disengaged if it is turned on prior to starting the accompaniment with an introduction.

Press the [ENDING/rit.] button while the ending variation is playing to produce a “ritardando” ending — i.e. the tempo gradually slows down during the ending.

If ABC is turned on in the single or dual voice mode, a strings voice will sound on the left-hand section of the keyboard while the rhythm is stopped. Please

DETAIL

note that left hold cannot be applied to this strings voice.

Use the [RHYTHM], [BASS], [CHORD 1], and [CHORD 2] VOLUME controls to set the best balance between the corresponding accompaniment parts, and the optimum volume of the accompaniment parts in relation to the ORCH. 1 and ORCH. 2 voices.

The AUTO BASS CHORD mode can be turned off at any time — leaving the rhythm accompaniment only — by pressing the [AUTO BASS CHORD] button so that its indicator goes out.

ACCOMPANIMENT

Using the Accompaniment Section

Interactive Accompaniment

Press the [INTERACTIVE ACCOMPANIMENT] button so that its indicator lights to activate the Interactive Accompaniment mode. In this mode the PSR-5700 uses advanced technology to monitor the way you are playing on the keyboard and automatically varies the rhythm or ABC accompaniment accordingly.

If you are playing with the VERSE 1 variation, for example, and you begin to build up the musical excitement on the keyboard (i.e. play more notes, faster, and/or harder) the PSR-5700 will automatically switch to the VERSE 2 variation to better support what you are playing. On the other hand, if you play more mellow right-hand lines the PSR-5700 will automatically “shift down” to the VERSE 1 variation. The same applies to the CHORUS 1 and CHORUS 2 variations.

The “sensitivity” of the Interactive Accompaniment mode can be adjusted via the INTERACTIVE ACCOMPANIMENT Sensitivity function described on page

DETAIL

40 of the Advanced Features manual. Also note that automatic switching between VERSE 1 and VERSE 2 or CHORUS 1 and CHORUS 2 will not occur if INTERACTIVE ACCOMPANIMENT Mode 1 is selected — see page 40 of the Advanced Features manual.
