Special Features

Creating New Sounds

Page 21

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 20

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.

Play a Variety of Instrument Voices

Page 16

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.

Setting Up

Play Along with Styles

Page 22

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.

Try playing like a DJ by using the Patterns!

Page 23

The Pattern function lets you perform like a DJ. The Track Control lets you enjoy various instrument combinations, and the Knobs let you control the tempo and create various sounds. The appropriate panel settings for each Pattern are pre-programmed to Registration Memory. Refer to page 34.

Handling 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 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.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

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

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

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

• 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.

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

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational failure.

• 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.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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.

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.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), 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 power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

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

1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(display is blank, except for notation staff).

• Use the specified adaptor (page 61) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack. 3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

 Installing the batteries

1 Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(display is blank, except for notation staff).

2 Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

3 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow

the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment.

4 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks firmly in place.

Using Batteries

This instrument requires six “AA” size, Alkaline (LR6)/Manganese (R6) batteries, or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries (rechargeable Ni-MH batteries). The Alkaline batteries or rechargeable NiMH batteries are recommended for this instrument, since other types may result in poorer battery performance.

• When using Ni-MH batteries, follow the instructions that came with the batteries. Use only the specified charger device when charging.

PSR-E433 Owner’s Manual

• Connecting or disconnecting the power adaptor with batteries installed may turn the power off, resulting in loss of data being recorded or transferred at the time.

When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries with new ones or already-recharged ones.

NOTE

Connecting Headphones or External Audio Equipment

Setting Up

Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4” stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The 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.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, set all volume levels to the minimum, then turn off the power for all components.

• When the instrument’s sound is output to an external device, first turn on the power to the instrument, then to the external device. Reverse this order when you turn the power off.

Connecting a Footswitch to the SUSTAIN jack

You can produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing an optional Footswitch plugged into the [SUSTAIN] jack.

NOTE

• The sustain function does not affect split voices (page 17).

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

z FILTER

Filter effects shape the 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 synthesizerlike sounds.

NOTE

• These effects are applied only to the Main/Dual Voices played on the keyboard.

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

 Knob A: CUTOFF

Adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the brightness of the sound. Turning the Knob to the left makes the sound more muffled or darker, while turning the Knob A to the right makes the sound brighter.

 Knob B: RESONANCE

Adjusts the amount of Resonance applied at the filter’s cutoff frequency. Turning the Knob to the right will increases the Resonance to emphasize the frequencies at the cutoff frequency, and thus “strengthens” the perceived effect of the filter.

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 best match the music you’re playing.

 Knob A: ATTACK

Adjusts the Attack Time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach maximum level when a key is played). Turning the Knob to the right will increase the Attack Time, thus slowing down the attack rate.

 Knob B: RELEASE

Adjusts the Release Time (the amount of time it takes for the sound to decay to silence after a key is released). Turning the Knob to the right will increase the Release Time, thus make a longer sustain.

NOTE

• These effects are applied only to the Main/Dual Voices played on the keyboard.

Knob A: REVERB

Parameters Assigned to the Knobs

Some Ideas for Using the Knobs

Number/Effect Try Th i s

Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (see the Voice List of the separate

FILTER

EFFECT

STYLE FILTER

Data List). 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, organlike 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 44, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback (page 22). 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.

Rotate the Knobs during Style playback to create a shifting sound effect, as if the performance members were concentrated at the center

USB Flash Memory Operations

Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal

This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.

 Compatible USB devices

The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before purchasing a USB device for use with this instrument, check the following web page:

http://download.yamaha.com/

 Connecting USB flash memory

• When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction.

• When connecting a USB cable, make sure that the length is less than 3 meters.

• Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1.

Using USB Flash Memory

By connecting the instrument to a USB flash memory, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device.

 The number of USB flash memory to be used

Only one USB flash memory device can be connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal.

 Formatting USB flash memory

When a USB flash memory is connected, a message may appear prompting you to format the device. If so, execute the Format operation (page 53).

 To protect your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with the particular USB flash memory. If you are saving data to the USB flash memory, make sure to disable write-protect.

 Connecting/removing USB storage device

Before removing the USB flash memory from the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save and Delete operations).

• For more information about the handling of USB devices,

refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.

• Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or

mouse cannot be used.

• The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the USB flash memory you are formatting does not contain important data.

• Avoid frequently connecting/disconnecting the USB flash memory too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as during Save, Delete, Load and Format operations) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the connection), do NOT unplug the USB flash memory, and do NOT turn the power off. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices.

NOTICE

By connecting the USB flash memory device to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal, you can save the data created on this instrument, such as User Song and parameter settings. The saved data can be recalled to this instrument again for the future use.

IMPORTANT

• It is recommended to use the Power Adaptor when executing USB flash memory operations, since battery power may not be reliable enough to last through these crucial operations. When you try executing certain functions, the “Use Adaptor” indication may appear and the selected function cannot be executed.

Troubleshooting

Appendix

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

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced

The instrument is automatically turned off even if no operation is done.

The volume is too soft. The sound quality is poor. The Style/Pattern/Song/Arpeggio 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.

No sound is produced even when the keyboard is played, or a Song, Style, or Pattern is being played back.

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.

No sound is produced even when playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard, although chords played in the left hand area are recognized.

Not all of the Voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off, when playing the keyboard, Arpeggio, Style or Pattern or Song.

The sound of the Voice changes from note to note.

The keyboard performance and playback of Style/Pattern/Song produces an unexpected or inappropriate sound, and cannot be restored to the normal status.

The Style, Pattern or Song does not start even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. The Arpeggio does not start even when the note is pressed with the Arpeg-

Appendix

gio turned on.

The volume of the Style, Pattern or Song is too low. Check the volume setting in the Functions (pages 42 and 47).

The chords played in the left hand area cannot be recognized even when the ACMP is turned on.

Style parts other than the Rhythm part produce no sound.

The Styles numbered 174–186 produce no rhythm drum sound even when the [START/STOP] button is pressed.

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

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

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

This is normal. This occurs due to the Auto Power Off function (page 14).

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

Check whether a set of headphones or an audio cable is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT, or not. When such a connection is made, no sound is output from the speaker of this instrument.

Check the on/off status of the Local Control (page 50). Normally, set this parameter to ON.

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.

Check whether or not the Dictionary function (page 45) is used. When used, this is normal.

You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyphony (the maximum amount of notes that can be played simultaneously) of this instrument. If the Main, Dual, and Split Voices are being used along with playback of Arpeggio, Style, Pattern or Song, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”).

This is normal. The 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.

Using the Knobs can produce dramatic changes in the sound, but may also produce unexpected or undesired sounds. If you want to restore the original, normal sound before being changed by the Knobs, change the Voice, Style, Pattern or Song, or press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button to reset the panel settings.

Check the on/off status of the External Clock (page 50). Normally, set this parameter to OFF.

Check the Split Point setting (page 43). Set this to the appropriate value.

Check the on/off status of the ACMP (page 22). Make sure to turn ACMP on.

This is normal. Style numbers 174–186 have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. When one of these Styles is selected, turn ACMP on, then specify the chord in the left hand area to play Style parts other than the Rhythm part.

Check the on/off status of the [STYLE] lamp. When using a Style, press the [STYLE] button to turn on the [STYLE] lamp.
