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-7000 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-7000 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-7000 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.

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-7000 (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.)

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-7000 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-7000 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.

ohms is recommended). The microphone sound is amplified and
reproduced via the PSR-7000’s sound system along with the sound of
the internal tone generator. The volume of the microphone sound is
independently controlled by the MIC VOLUME control.
NOTES
• The level of the microphone sound may vary according to the type of
microphone used.

can be used to control the PSR-7000. 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-7000 (e.g. note and
velocity data produced by playing the keyboard). More
details on MIDI are provided on page 124.

The PSR-7000 Display & Display-based Controls
The Display & Multi-function Controls
The PSR-7000 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
dials below the display perform the function indicated by
the adjacent section of the display. In the example display
shown here, for example, the LCD dial immediately
below LEAD on the display can be used to adjust the
volume of the LEAD voice. Rotate the dial upward to
increase the volume, or rotate the dial downward 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..................................................................................................................................................................

■ FOOTAGE.............................................................................................................................................................................................
The basic sound of the currently selected ORGAN FLUTE voice is edited via FOOTAGE bars
corresponding to the LCD dials. If the FOOTAGE
display is not showing, press the FOOTAGE LCD
button in the ORGAN FLUTE voice list display.
The term “FOOT AGE” is a reference to the fact that
the sound of pipe organs was adjusted via “stops”
which turned on or off pipes of different lengths (in
feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the
sound, thus the 16' (16-foot) FOOT AGE bar adjusts
the volume of the lowest pitched component of the
voice while the 1' bar adjusts the highest-pitched
component of the voice. Use the LCD dials to
increase or reduce the amount of the corresponding
footages to create the desired overall sound. The
longer a graphic footage bar, the greater the amount
of the corresponding footage added to the sound.

Playing the PSR-7000
■ VOLUME & ATTACK..................................................................................................................................................................
To access the VOLUME and ATTACK parameters for the ORGAN FLUTE voices, press the
VOLUME/ATTACK LCD button from the FOOTAGE display.
The VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of the current ORGAN FLUTE voice. The
longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume.
The ATTACK controls adjust the attack sound of
the current ORGAN FLUTE voice. The 4', 2
and 2' controls increase or reduce the amount of
attack sound at the corresponding footages. The
longer the graphic bar the greater the attack sound.
The LENGTH control produces a longer or shorter
decay after the initial attack. The longer the graphic
bar the longer the decay . The MODE control selects
the FIRST or EACH attack mode: in the FIRST
mode attack will only be applied to the first note in
a chord or group of notes played and held simultaneously; in the EACH mode attack will be applied
equally to all notes. The RESP control increases or
decreases the length of attack and release on voices
based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the
value the longer the attack and release.

The ROTARY SPEAKER controls set up the
rotary speaker effect for the current ORGAN FLUTE
voice. The TYPE control selected one of 5 different
rotary speaker types. The SPEED control sets the
speed of the rotary speaker effect when the FAST
mode is selected: the greater the value the faster the
speed. The RATE control sets the rate of variation
between the FAST and SLOW modes: the greater
the value the faster the rate of change when the
FAST or SLOW rotary speaker mode is selected.
The DEPTH control sets the depth of the rotary
speaker effect: the higher the value the more pronounced the effect.
NOTES
• All of the above parameters can be individually pro-
grammed for each ORGAN FLUTE voice. The settings
are retained in memory even when the power is turned off
as long as a good set of backup batteries is present in the
PSR-7000 (page 2).
• The ORGAN FLUTE settings can be saved to disk and
recalled when needed via the SAVE TO DISK and LOAD

Keyboard Percussion
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, and Modu-
lation functions do not affect the DRUM KIT voices.
• The pitch bend wheel can be used to bend the pitch of the
keyboard percussion voices to create unique musical effects,
but it has little effect on some percussion sounds.
• See page 138 for a complete listing of the keyboard percussion
drum instrument assignments.

Changing the “L” Split Point
The PSR-7000 has two programmable split points — one which divides the LEFT and RIGHT/LEAD/ORGAN
FLUTE orchestra parts, and one which divides the auto-accompaniment and manual sections of the keyboard when
AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment (page 31) is engaged. In the split point displays accessed by the EASY
SETTING LCD button described below , and the FUNCTION displays (page 110), 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 31. 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 dials, or press the desired
key on the keyboard while holding the L DIRECT
SETTING LCD button. 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.

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-7000 in a number of ways.
TRANSPOSE & TUNE
These functions allow the overall pitch of the PSR-7000 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 dials to set the desired degree of transposition, and the TUNE LCD
dials 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.
21
Transposition, Tuning, & Octave Change
OCTAVE CHANGE
This function allows the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT2, LEAD, and ORGAN FLUTE voices to be independently
transposed up or down by one octave.
The LEFT, R1, R2, LEAD, and ORGAN 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 109.
• 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-7000 has 120 different preset accompaniment “styles”
and up to 32 custom accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The PSR7000’s sophisticated Auto Bass Chord accompaniment system can
provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched
to the selected accompaniment style.
