PopBossa
■ 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
Want to play with full accompaniment? Try the auto-accompaniment Styles.
The accompaniment styles provide the equivalent of a full backing band covering a wide variety of styles from waltzes to 8-beat to euro-trance ... and
much more. Select a style that matches the music you want to play, or experiment with new styles to expand your musical horizons.
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

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

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.

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.

Time
Knob A adjusts attack time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach
maximum level when a key is played).

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.

b STYLE TEMPOPlay a style and/or arpeggio (page 14) and use Knob A to adjust the tempo.
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.
