PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual 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:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

Do not open

• 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.

Water warning

• 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 any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

If you notice any abnormality

• 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.

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:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

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

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

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

Battery

• 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.

4 PSR-E413 Owner’s Manual

■ Creating New Sounds Page 18

By adjusting just two knobs you can add varying degrees of distortion, “sweetness,” or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or drastically. Parameters that can be assigned to the knobs include effect, ﬁlter, envelope generator and more. You can create new sounds in real time!

■ Arpeggio Function Page 14

Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this function automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play the appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be produced by changing your ﬁngering or the arpeggio type.

■ Performance assistant technology Page 23

Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in time with the music.

■ Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 28

The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be changed to violin, ﬂute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety.

■ Play Along with Styles Page 33

Setting Up

Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

Power Requirements

Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.

■ Using an AC Power Adaptor

 Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the

instrument is set to STANDBY.

WARNING

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-130 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.

 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.

 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.



AC power

adaptor



AC outlet

■ Using Batteries

 Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow

the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.

 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks ﬁrmly in place.

NOTE

• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see page 56), since custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed.

CAUTION

• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possibly resulting in a loss of ﬂash memory data.

• Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, ﬁre and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.

• 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 will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage.

• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to ﬂash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost.

10 PSR-E413 Owner’s Manual

Page 11

Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.

Setting Up

Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

The PSR-E413 speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack.

The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard ampliﬁer, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.

WARNING

•Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.

CAUTION

•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. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack)

Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal)

Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performance data and song ﬁles between the two (page 87). To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do the following:

• First, make sure the POWER switch on the instrument is set to OFF, then use an AB type USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer. After making the connections, turn on the power of the instrument.

• Install the USB-MIDI driver on your computer.

Installation of the USB-MIDI driver is described on page 95.

NOTE

• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

Turning the Power On

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch again to turn the power OFF.

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.

NOTE

• Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.

Backup data in the ﬂash memory is loaded to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no backup data exists on ﬂash memory, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is turned on.

CAUTION

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

CAUTION

•Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the ﬂash memory and result in data loss.

Creating Arpeggios

Quick Guide

The arpeggio function lets you create arpeggios (broken chords) by simply playing the required notes on the keyboard. For example, you could play the notes of a triad—the root, third, and ﬁfth—and the arpeggio function will automatically create a variety of interesting arpeggiotype phrases. By changing the arpeggio type and the notes you play it is possible to create a wide range of patterns and phrases that can be used for music production as well as performance.

Press the ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button to turn the arpeggio function on.

The indicator lights when the Arpeggio function is on.

● Voices and the Arpeggio Function

This instrument lets you select a variety of “voices” that you can play via the keyboard. When you select a voice number between 129 and 148 the arpeggio function will automatically be engaged so you can start playing arpeggios immediately. The arpeggio function will automatically be turned off when you select any other voice.

If you want to use voices 129–148 for normal performance without the arpeggio function, press the ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button to turn the arpeggio function off after selecting the voice.

Creating Arpeggios

Create a Pop Tune

You can play a style and specify the style chords with your left hand while playing arpeggios with your right hand to create interesting sonic textures and backgrounds.

1 Select the keyboard voice (page 28).

For this example we’ll use a grand piano voice, so press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button. This convenient voice selection method lets you instantly select a voice with a single button press.

2 After turning the arpeggio function on, select an arpeggio type (steps 1

and 2 on the preceding page).

For this example select “02 DownOct”. That completes preparation to use the arpeggio function.

3 Select the style you want to play along with the arpeggio function.

A “style” is an automatic accompaniment pattern. Press the [STYLE] button and the name of the currently selected style will appear in the display. Rotate the dial to select the desired style. For this example we’ll use the “002 8BtModrn” (8 Beat Modern) style.

Listen carefully to the rhythm of the style, then play the notes shown in the score at the beginning of a measure. The style and arpeggio will begin playing together. The accompaniment will change accordingly each time you play a new left-hand chord. Of course you can also change your right-hand ﬁngering to produce interesting changes. If you’re not comfortable with right-hand playing yet, you could use the performance assistant technology feature described on page 23. When the performance assistant feature is on, playing any right-hand key will always produce musically appropriate notes!

Split point

Whenever you’re playing a style as well as a right-hand part, be sure that your left hand plays only to the left of the split point and your right hand plays only to the right of the split point. (page 30)

Create Original Sounds

The two knobs located in the lower left area of the panel can be used to add variations to the sound being played, transforming the sound in a variety of musical ways. Filter, envelope generator, and other effects can be assigned to the two knobs as required. In this section we’ll explain how effects can be assigned to the knobs, and provide a few tips for their use.

Assigning Effects to the Knobs

Repeatedly press the [ASSIGN] button to sequentially select the ﬁve effect combinations provided: z → x → c → v → b → z → ... etc. The currently selected combination is shown in the display.

z Filter

Filter effects shape sound by allowing only a speciﬁed range of frequencies to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the ﬁlter’s “cutoff” frequency. Filter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like sounds.

* Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass frequencies.

Some hints for using the ﬁlter effects are provided on page 22.

If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the ideal settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the same way, if the “v STYLE FILTER” effect is selected, the knobs will be reset if a different style is selected. If you create an original setting you like, it might be a good idea to save it in the instrument’s Registration Memory (page 80) so you can recall the same settings again at any time. You can also record performances using original sounds you’ve created (page 52).

The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects that can be assigned to the knobs.

Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are ﬁrst operated after the new effect has been selected.

Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (page 106). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A while playing for some spacey, ﬂoating 1980’s effects.

Select a voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied, and turn Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the “direct” sound of the voice. You can then turn the Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and richness to the voice.

Select a piano voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3 o’clock position. This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for slow pieces.

Select style 39, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback (page 34). Set Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The overall sound of the style should be a bit mufﬂed, with the drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact.

Fun Sounds

This instrument includes a range of drum kits and unique sound effects you can use for entertainment. Laughter, babbling brooks, jet ﬂy-bys, eerie effects, and much more. These sounds can be a great way to enhance the mood at parties.

Drum Kits

Drum kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other normal instrument main voice, for example, all keys produce the sound of the same violin, only at different pitches. If you select a drum kit as the main voice, however, each key produces the sound of a different drum or percussion instrument.

◆ Drum Kit Selection Procedure ➔ (refer to steps 1 and 2 on page 28)

1 Press the [VOICE] button.

2 Use the dial to select “117 Std.Kit1”.

3 Tr y out each key and enjoy the drum and percussion sounds!

Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment. In this section we’ll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord sequences.” Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different ﬁngerings of the same chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge inﬂuence on the overall feel of the music you play.

On page 34 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take your accompaniments to a new level. On these pages we’ll introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively creating a complete song.

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Root note Chord type

Chord Basics

Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord”.

The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the root, third, and ﬁfth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the ﬁfth note of the C major scale).

In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” ... using other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.

Major third–four half steps (semitones) Minor third–three half steps (semitones)

The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below.

Root

3rd

Major chord

Minor 3rd

CM Cm Caug Cdim

Major 3rd

Minor chord Augmented chord Diminished chord

Major 3rd

Minor 3rd

Minor 3rd

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”).

● Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or ﬂatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses ... all at a glance.

NOTE

• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.

• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.

•A perfect ﬁfth (1+5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and ﬁfth which can be used with both major and minor chords.

• The chord ﬁngerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be used—with the following exceptions: m7, m7 aug, dim7, 7

NOTE

•Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted.

• The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).

•Two-note ﬁngerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

Connecting to a Computer

Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today—particularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devices—use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as the songs, styles and panel settings. The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is enormous—simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this section, you’ll learn the basics of MIDI and the speciﬁc MIDI functions provided by this instrument.

What Is MIDI?

No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument”. In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s consider a grand piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

● Acoustic guitar note production

Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound.

For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice”, “with which key”, “about how strong”, “when was it pressed”, and “when was it released”. Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.

Example of Keyboard Information

Voice number (with what voice) 1 (grand piano)

Note number (with which key) 60 (C3)

Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released)

Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong)

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.

As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the

Connecting a Personal Computer

The following functions become available when this instrument is connected to a computer.

● Performance data can be transferred between the instrument and the computer (page 88).

● Files can be transferred between the instrument and the computer (page 90).

The connection procedure is as follows:

Install the USB-MIDI driver on your com-

puter.

The USB-MIDI driver is included on the CD-ROM. Installation of the USB-MIDI driver is described on page 93.

Connect the USB terminal of the computer

to the USB terminal on the instrument using an AB type USB cable (USB cable sold separately).

The supplied CD-ROM also includes a Musicsoft Downloader application that allows you to transfer song ﬁles from your computer to the instrument’s ﬂash memory. For instructions about how to install Musicsoft Downloader and how to transfer song ﬁles, see page 91.

■ Precautions when using the USB terminal

When connecting the computer to the USB terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing the data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, restart the application software or the computer OS, or turn the power to the instrument off then on again.

CAUTION

• Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3 meters.

• Before connecting the computer to the USB terminal, exit from

any power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspended, sleep, standby).

• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the com-

puter to the USB terminal.

•Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument

on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB terminal.

• Quit any open application software on the computer.

• Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted whenever you play on the keyboard or play back a song, etc.)

• While the computer is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: (1) when turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound.

• The volume is too soft.

• The sound quality is poor.

• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.

• The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play correctly.

• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset.

The style or song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed.

The style does not sound properly.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 141 or a style between 153 and 165 (Pianist).

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off.

Some notes don’t sound when playing multiple notes simultaneously on the keyboard, or some notes don’t sound when playing arpeggios.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds.

The sound of the voice changes from note to note.

The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played.

The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.

There is no harmony sound.

No sound is produced for about two seconds after the instrument wakes from sleep mode.

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument.

Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.

Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 88.)

When using the Dictionary function (page 77), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on page 88.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 84) is set to an appropriate level.

Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 72). Is the “ACMP ON” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

This is not a malfunction. Style number 141 and style numbers 153–165 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or song.

You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyphony (the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously) of the instrument. The instrument will play normally as long as no more than 32 notes are being played at once, both on the keyboard and by any automatic playback functions.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power.

This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note.

Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.

Is the [STYLE] button lit? Always press the [STYLE] button ﬁrst when you are going to use any style-related function.

The harmony effects (01–26) behave differently according to their type. Types 01–05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the right-hand range. Types 06–26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For types 06 = 12 you need to play two notes at the same time.

This is normal. The speakers are muted for about two seconds, until the instrument wakes fully from the sleep mode.
