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 bot-
tom panel. Make sure that the volt-	110V
		1
age selector is set for the AC mains
		3
		0
		V
voltage in your area. The voltage	240V	220V
selector can be set (rotated) by us-
ing a screwdriver. If in doubt, con-
tact your Yamaha dealer.

●Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument is not in use. (The PSR-7000 uses a very 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 average 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.)

■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, 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.

■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 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

●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 extended period of time, it is a good idea to unplug the instrument from the AC outlet and remove the batteries.

2

●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.).

Taking Care of Your PortaTone

■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. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA personnel.

Floppy Disks & the Disk Drive

■ Type of Disk

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

■Disk Insertion & Removal

●To insert 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.

●To remove a floppy 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 button carefully again, or push the disk all the way back into the drive and repeat the eject procedure.

●Never attempt to remove a floppy 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-available Dry-type Head Clean-

ing Disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your 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 keep disks away 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 temperature, or high humidity.

●Never use a floppy disk with a deformed 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.

■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 backup disks in a separate, safe place.

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

■ The MIC Jack & MIC VOLUME Control .................................................................................................................

The PSR-7000 includes a microphone (“MIC”) jack into which just about any standard microphone with a 1/4" phone plug connected can be plugged (a dynamic microphone with an impedance of 250 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.

1 The AUX OUT L/L+R and R Jacks .............................................................................................................................

The rear-panel AUX OUT L/L+R and R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-7000 for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-7000 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 leftand rightchannel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the PSR-7000 sound.

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 ..................................................................................................................................................................

The lower section of the normal play mode display, shown above, provides individual volume controls for the PSR-7000’s song, multi pad, accompaniment, left, right 1, right 2, lead, and organ sound. Pressing the ACCOMP. VOLUME LCD button switches to the individual auto-accompani- ment 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-7000 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. There’s also an “ORGAN FLUTE” part which simulates an extremely wide range of organ sounds — complete with realistic rotary speaker effect.

RIGHT ORCHESTRA 1	Both the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 voices are polyphonic voices which can be played over
RIGHT ORCHESTRA 2	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 246+8 (Drum kit) voices organized in
	12 groups.
LEAD	This is a monophonic voice 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. 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 123 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.
LEFT ORCHESTRA	A polyphonic voice which can be played to the left of a specified split point while the
	RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and/or LEAD voices are played to the right of the split point. The de-
	fault split point is the F#2 key. The LEFT voice can be selected from a range of 205 voices
	organized in 6 groups.
ORGAN FLUTE	This is a polyphonic voice 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. The ORGAN FLUTE voice can-
	not be played simultaneously with the RIGHT or LEAD voices. Details on using the OR-
	GAN FLUTE voices are provided on page 16.
	* Voice numbers include Custom Voice.

■ 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 “FOOTAGE” 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) FOOTAGE 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 2/3' 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.

■ NAME & ROTARY SPEAKER ...........................................................................................................................................

To access the NAME and ROTARY SPEAKER parameters for the ORGAN FLUTE voices, press the NAME/ROTARY SP. LCD button from the FOOTAGE display.

The NAME controls can be used to enter an original name for the current ORGAN FLUTE voice. Voice names can be up to 12 characters long. Use the < > LCD dials to move the name cursor to the various character positions, then use the A~Z, a~z or 0~9… LCD dial to select the required character for each position. The A~Z LCD dial selects capital letters, the a~z LCD dial selects lower-case letters, and the 0~9… LCD dial selects numbers and special characters.

17

Playing the PSR-7000

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 programmed 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 FROM DISK functions described on pages 96 and 98.

•The original factory settings can be recalled via the RECALL PRESET DATA function described on page 123.

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 Modulation 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.

ZSelect 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.

XSet 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 finetuned in 0.2 Hertz steps.

ZPress the TRANSPOSE/TUNE LCD Button .....................................................................................................

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

XSet 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.

CReturn 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.

22

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.

ZTurn ABC ON ....................................................................................................................................................................................

Press the [AUTO BASS CHORD] button so that its indicator lights, thereby turning the ABC mode on.

NOTES

•Rhythm-only accompaniment will be produced if you don’t turn the [AUTO BASS CHORD] button on.

•The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-7000 keyboard is reduced when the Auto Bass Chord feature is used.

•The PSR-7000 employs “last-note priority”, which means that when the number of notes played on the keyboard exceeds the total number that can be produced by the PSR-7000 at that time, the last notes played take priority.

23

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.

● 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-7000 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).

When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged the PSR-7000 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 intervals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th note in length — may therefore not be detected.

● 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-7000, 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 128).

● 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 128) 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.

CSelect a Style ...................................................................................................................................................................................

The PSR-7000 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 ACCOMPANIMENT [CUSTOM] button can be created via the CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT RECORD mode described on page 75, or loaded from disk.

Use the page-number LCD dials 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 dials to select any of the styles within the selected group.

The PSR-7000 automatically determines the voices to be used for the accompaniment bass and chords according the accompaniment style you select.

NOTES

•Also see “Custom Accompaniment” on page 75.

•The custom style button can be used to access the styles on optional SFF (Style File Format) disks.

VSet the Tempo .................................................................................................................................................................................

When you select a different style while the accompaniment is not playing, the “default” tempo for that style is also selected, and the tempo is displayed on the display in quarter-note beats per minute. If the accompaniment is playing, the same tempo is maintained even if you select a different style.

You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute, however, by using the TEMPO [–] and [+] buttons. This can be done either

before the accompaniment is started or while it is Tempo playing. To use the [–] and [+] buttons, press either

button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or incrementing.

NOTES

•The default tempo for the selected style can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO [–] and [+] buttons simultaneously.
