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.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-130 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha)
only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
• 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.
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

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
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.

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.

NOTE
• Make sure that you are not pressing any of the keyboard’s keys while turning the arpeggio function on or off.
The arpeggio function applies only to the main and dual voices, and does not affect split voices. The arpeggio function cannot be used at the same time as the harmony function.
When you have finished playing with the arpeggio func­tion, press the ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button to turn it off.

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.
NOTE
• Refer to “Playing Styles” on page 33.

CAm FG7sus4
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.

Knob A adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the brightness of the sound.

c EG (Envelope Generator)
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower for a violin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sus­tain to most ideally match the music.

Knob A adjusts attack time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach maximum level when a key is played). Knob B adjusts release time (the amount of time it takes for the sound to decay to silence after a key is released).

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.
