PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off

the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

Use the specified adaptor (PA-6 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/– polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.

Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.

Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.

If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

Keep batteries away from children.

Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum.

Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.

Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

SAVING USER DATA

Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Like the number buttons [1]-[0], [+],[–], the dial is used to change settings and values. Rotating it to the right (clockwise) increases the value, while rotating it to the left (counterclockwise) decreases it. The dial can also be used to toggle on/off settings.

Number Buttons [1]-[0], [+] (YES), [–] (NO) Buttons

The number buttons [1] – [0], [+],[–], are used to change settings (values). Pressing the [+] button increases the displayed value by 1. Pressing the [–] button decreases it by 1. Pressing and holding either button causes a continuous increase or decrease. Pressing the [+] (YES) or [–] (NO) buttons also switches between on and off settings. For items that have initial default values, pressing the [+] and [–] buttons together at the same time will return the setting to the initial value.

When the value displayed is a number like a style number, pressing and holding either the [+] or [–] button will cause the number to continue to the lowest value after the highest is reached or viceversa (...99m100m1m2..., ...2m1m100m99...). If the number displayed is a value like a transpose value, it will stop changing when the maximum or minimum value is reached.

• When in Song Mode, AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT ON/OFF , SYNC START, SYNC STOP and other buttons connected with accompaniment will not function.

Shortcuts

To make operation as easy and as efficient as possible, the PSR-730/630 features a number of “shortcuts” which allow you to jump directly to certain functions without having to use the MENU and SUB MENU buttons. All of these shortcuts work in the same way: press and hold a panel button for a few seconds to go to the related function. For example, if you press and hold the [REVERB] button for a few seconds, you will go directly to the REVERB type selection function. The shorcuts will also be described where appropriate throughout this manual.

¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢QQQQQQQQQQQQQQ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-730/630 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-730/630.

Power Supply

Although the PSR-730/630 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe AC adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use.

• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-730/630 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.

Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor

z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-6 Power Adaptor into a wall AC outlet.

xThen plug the DC output cable from the PA-6 into the DC IN 10-12V jack on the rear panel of the PSR-730/630. The internal batteries are automatically

disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.

DC IN 10-12V

PA-6

When turning the power OFF, simply reverse the procedure.

Using Batteries

For battery operation the PSR-730/630 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R- 20 or equivalent batteries.

When the batteries need to be replaced “Lo Battery!!” may appear on top of the display, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries.

Replace the batteries as follows:

z Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel.

xInsert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.

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

Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-6 AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-730/630.

Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR730/630, or during electrical storms.

When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.

Do not use different kinds

of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time.

If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are installed will reset the PSR730/630 to the defaults.

Important Notes on Battery Use

Since the PSR-730 and PSR-630 consume a considerable amount of power,Yamaha recommends the use of anAC power adaptor rather than batteries. The batteries should be considered an auxiliary power source for data backup.

The floppy disk drive, in particular, uses a large amount of power, so it is important to always use an AC power adaptor when performing disk-intensive operations such as song recording/playback or data load/save. If you attempt to use battery power for these operations and the batteries do fail, you will lose not only the data you’re recording or saving, but also

other data in internal memory including user styles, user pads, registration memory, etc.

Taking the above precautions into consideration, always use an AC power adaptor when using the PSR-630/730 for an important performance or when creating important data.

When using batteries and the “Lo Battery!!” warning initially appears on the display, the volume will drop a little but you will be able to use the instrument for a while longer. When the “Lo Battery!!” warning begins to appear every few seconds, replace the batteries as soon as possible.

Setting Up

Connections

PHONES Jack

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 PHONES jack.

Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.

SUSTAIN Pedal Jack

SUSTAIN

FOOT VOLUME Jack

FOOT VOL

The sustain function causes the sound from a depressed key to continue, even after the key is released. Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into the sustain jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The footswitch connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of some panel buttons, doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment (page 117).

Connecting an optionalYamaha FC7 foot controller lets you use your foot to change the volume as you play the PSR-730/630 (expression function). The foot controller connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of the main volume controls, such as accompaniment or song volume (page 117).

Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.

When the sustain or sostenuto pedal functions are being used (page 117), some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the pedal is held.

AUX OUT R and L/L+R Jacks

• • • • • • • • • AUX OUT• • • • • • • • •

R L/L+R

Stereo

System

The rear-panel AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-730/630 for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-730/630 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 right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the PSR-730/630 sound. (Use phone plugs).

MIDI IN/OUT and TO HOST Connectors

See page 121.

• Connecting PSR730/630 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage.

A Word About the “R1”, “R2”, and “L” Voices

The PSR-730/630 allows up to three voices to be selected at the same time: “R1” (Right-hand 1), “R2”, (Right-hand 2) and “L” (Left-hand). The “R1” voice is the basic voice of the PSR-730/630 and it’s used when you’re playing a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard as with an acoustic piano. You can also have two voices play together at the same time (R1 voice and R2 voice) or play different voices with the right and left hands (R1 voice and L voice) (pages 19, 20). The numbers of the currently selected R1, R2, and L voices are all shown at the lower right of on the display panel. Normally, the R1 voice number is also shown at the upper right of the display panel.

¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢QQQQQQQQQQQQQQ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Auto Accompaniment

The PSR-730/630 has 100 different accompaniment “styles” from every musical type that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. Just select one of the many styles available and play along.

What is Auto Accompaniment?

With the Auto Accompaniment feature, all you have to do is play the chords in your song and the accompaniment style that matches your music will automatically play along following the same chord progression. Using Auto Accompaniment, even a solo performer can enjoy playing with an entire band or orchestra backing them up.

When Auto Accompaniment is turned on...

The specified left-hand section of the keyboard becomes the “Auto Accompaniment” section, and chords played in this section are automatically detected and used as a basis for fully automatic accompaniment with the selected style.

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT split point (54)

“auto accompaniment” section

The default setting for the Auto Accompaniment split point is [54] (the Auto Accompaniment sections extends to the left of key [54]). To change the Auto Accompaniment split point, see page 30.

Using Auto Accompaniment

1 Select a Style

Press the [STYLE] button to select the STYLE menu (the triangular indicator will appear next to “STYLE” to the right of the display). The number and name of the currently selected style will appear on the top left of the display, and the STYLE icon will light, indicating that the PSR-730/630 is in Style Mode.

As soon as you play any chord that the PSR-730/630 can “recognize” on the lefthand section of the keyboard, the PSR-730/630 will automatically begin to play the chord along with the selected rhythm and an appropriate bass line. The name of the current chord will appear on the display.

The chord will be recognized according to the rules set in the Fingering Mode.

• For the method for entering chords, see page 32 “Auto Accompaniment Fingering Modes.”

The Auto Accompaniment will continue playing even if the left hand releases the keys. As you press each chord in the song, you can play the melody along with the accompaniment.

When the Fingering Mode is set for “Single Finger,” “Fingered 1,” “Fingered 2,” or “Multi-Finger,” playing a chord in the auto accompaniment section while the rhythm is stopped will cause Bass + Chord to be played (for all styles). However, when the Auto Accompaniment split point and the Split Voice split point are the same key, playing a chord in the accompaniment section with the rhythm stopped will cause Bass + L voice to be played.

5 Changing Accompaniment Sections

You can vary the song by pressing [INTRO], MAIN/AUTO FILL [A]/[B] or [ENDING] buttons and changing to a different accompaniment section (page 27). Try pressing the different buttons and see what happens.

The ending will begin playing immediately when you press the ENDING button while the accompaniment is playing the first beat of the measure.

The ending will begin playing from the next measure when you press the button while the accompaniment is playing the second or larger numbered beat.

If you press the INTRO button while the ending is playing, the intro section will begin playing after the ending is finished.

If you press a MAIN/ AUTO FILL (A,B) button while the ending is playing, fill-in accompaniment will immediately start playing, continuing with the main section.

You can change the tempo for accompaniment or song playback.

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 immediately above “TEMPO” in 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. Press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or incrementing.

Accompaniment Sections

There are 8 types of Auto Accompaniment sections that allow you to vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the song you are playing. They are: Intro, Main A and B, Fill-in (AA, AB, BA, BB) and Ending. By switching between them while playing you can put together a single song.

MAIN / AUTO FILL

INTRO

A

B

ENDING

A B

INTRO Section

This is the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section.

MAIN Section

There are two variations that can play in the main section of the song: A and B. The Auto Accompaniment will automatically play following along with the chords that you play.

FILL-IN Section

Fill-in livens up pauses in the song. Whenever you press the MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button during accompaniment, the PSR-730/630 will generate an appropriate “fill-in” (one of four types: AA, AB, BA, and BB) which will smoothly connect the current section to the selected section — even if it is the same section.

ENDING Section

This is the ending portion of the song. When the ending is finished, Auto Accompaniment will stop.

The MAIN A section is automatically selected whenever the PSR-730/ 630 power is initially turned on.

The indicator of the destination section (MAIN A or B) will flash while the corresponding fill-in is playing. During this time you can change the destination section by pressing the appropriate MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] or [B] button.

You can use the intro section even in the middle of the song by pressing the INTRO button during the song.

If the MAIN/AUTO FILL A/B button is pressed after the final half beat (eighth note) of the measure, fill-in will begin from the next measure.

You can begin the accompaniment by using the ending instead of the intro section.

Accompaniment Track Muting

The PSR-730/630 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, and PHRASE 2 — that you can control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompaniment. When a style is selected the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain data for any section of that style will light.

Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing the TRACK buttons corresponding to the target tracks. The track icon will disappear when a track is muted. By turning the tracks OFF and ON in different combinations, you can create various arrangements from a single accompaniment style.

What’s in the Tracks

Individual track voices, volume, and other parameters can be changed by using the REVOICE function — page 112.
