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.

• 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 power switch is in standby status, 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.

Formats

The instrument is compatible with the following formats.

GM System Level 2

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.

SFF GE (Guitar Edition)

“SFF (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. “SFF GE (Guitar Edition)” is an enhanced format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral Devices. It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on).

Playing Drum Kits

Drum Kits are collections of drum and percussion instruments. When you select a violin or other normal instrument—as a 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.

Press the [DRUM KIT] button.

The “Drum Kit” category appears.

Rotate the dial and select the Drum Kit you want to play (001–025).

Scale Tuning

By default, this keyboard scale is set to Equal Temperament—the same tuning as with any acoustic piano. However, the setting can be changed to any other scale according to the music genre or music style you want to play.

Selecting a Scale

You can select various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music genres.

Press and hold the [FUNCTION] button for longer than a second to call up the Scale select display, then rotate the dial to select the desired Scale. The setting can be reset to the initial default value by pressing the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons simultaneously.

parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—such as choirs and a cappella singing.

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

• This setting does not affect the Drum Kit Voices.

• Press the [EXIT] button to return to the Main display.

Expanding Voices and Styles

(Installing to the Expansion Category)

Installing an Expansion Pack (Extension: yep) lets you add a variety of optional Voices and Styles to each Expansion category. The installed Voices and Styles can be selected like Preset Voices and Styles, allowing you to expand your music performance and creation possibilities. Expansion Packs as sample can be downloaded from the PSR-S650 page within Yamaha Web Site (http:// www.yamaha.com/). Depending on your locale, in addition, Expansion Packs may be available for expanding Voices and Styles unique or native to your locale.

• Installing an Expansion Pack will erase the previously existing Expansion Pack data in the instrument. We recommend that you keep a copy of the Expansion Pack data in a separate USB flash memory or a computer.

NOTE

• The Expansion Pack to be installed must be located inside the “USER FILES” folder on the USB flash memory.

NOTE

• Encrypted Expansion Packs, Packs larger than approx. 16 MB, or Packs for instrument other than the PSR-S650 cannot be used.

Press the [EXECUTE] button

The display prompts you for confirmation. You can cancel the installation operation at this message by pressing the [-/NO] button.

Press the [EXECUTE] button again, or

the [+/YES] button, to execute the installation.

While the Expansion Pack is being installed, a popup window will indicate the progress.

When installation is completed, a mes-

sage will appear prompting you to turn off the power and on again. Turn the power off, then back on.

Press the [EXPANSION] button in the

VOICE section, select the installed Voice, then play the keyboard.

Press the [EXPANSION/USER] button in

the STYLE section, select the installed Style then play the selected Style.

Make sure that a formatted USB flash

memory has been connected to the USB TO DEVICE terminal, then call up the FILE CONTROL display (page 55).

Use the CATEGORY [<] and [>] buttons

to select “Expansion Pack Installation.”

Use the dial to select the Expansion Pack

you want to install.

You can confirm the information of the selected file by pressing the [START/STOP] button. After confirming, press the [EXIT] button to return to the display of step 2.

About Song, Style or Registration Memory including Expansion Voices and Styles

Since installing the Expansion Pack will erase any Voices and Styles previously existing in the Expansion category, please keep in mind the following points.

• Any User Song/Style data using the previous Expansion Voices will produce unexpected sound.

• Unexpected Voices and Styles will be called up, or no data will be called up from the Registration Memory you’ve created using the previous Expansion Voices or Styles.

• Any User Song using the previous Expansion Voices or Styles will produce unexpected sound.

Because of the above points, make sure to record the name of the installed Expansion Pack when you create original data, such as User Songs using Expansion Voices and Styles.

USB TO HOST terminal

Instrument

NOTICE

Connecting to a Computer

Connecting the instrument to a computer via a USB cable offers the following useful possibilities:

• The instrument’s performance data can be recorded with DAW software on the computer, and the performance data from the computer can be played on the instrument, since the connection allows you to transmit/receive MIDI messages to/from a computer.

• A file such as a Song or a Style file can be transferred between the computer and instrument with the Musicsoft Downloader application. For details, refer to the Reference Manual.

MIDI

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard interface for communication between electronic musical instruments and music devices or computers.

There are two ways to connect the instrument to a computer:

 Using the function included in your computer’s

operating system

The instrument uses the generic MIDI function included in your computer’s operating system, so there’s no need to install any extra driver software.

Operating System (OS): Windows XP Professional (SP3)/XP Home Edition (SP3), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Mac OS X Version 10.5–10.6.x

Turn off the power of the instrument,

and urn on the power of the computer.

Quit any open application software on the computer.

Connect the instrument and the com-

puter via a USB cable.

 Using Yamaha Standard USB-MIDI driver

When data communication is unstable or some problem occurs even though you’ve executed the above instructions, download the Yamaha Standard USBMIDI driver from the following URL then install it to your computer.

http://download.yamaha.com/

For instructions on installation, refer to the Install Guide included in the package file.

Operating System (OS): For details about OS for Yamaha Standard USBMIDI driver, visit the URL above.

NOTE

• MIDI settings such as the Local Control on/off setting or the MIDI transmit/receive channel settings can be set in the Function display. For details, refer to the Reference Manual.

Precautions when using the USB TO HOST terminal

When connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST 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.

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

• Before connecting the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspend, sleep, standby).

• Before turning on the power to the instrument, connect the computer to the USB TO HOST terminal.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the USB cable to/from the USB TO HOST terminal.

• Quit any open application software on the computer.

• Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the

instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.)

• 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.

Turn on the power of the instrument.

The computer will automatically be set to enable MIDI communication with the instrument.

 MIDI Setup

The MIDI settings can be set individually in the “MIDI” category of the Function display. For details, refer to the Reference Manual.

Owner’s Manual

Appendix

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

Power suddenly and unexpectedly turns off.

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.

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 the BaroqueAir Style in the MOVIE & SHOW category.

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

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 Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or there are Japanese characters in the display messages.

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

There is no harmony sound.

The “OVER CURRENT” message is shown and the USB device does not respond.

This is normal and the Auto Power Off function may have been activated (page 10). If desired, disable the Auto Power Off function.

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.

Is “Local Control” set to ON? Make sure “Local Control” is set to ON in the Function display.

Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard, etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the Main display.

Is “External Clock” set to OFF? Make sure “External Clock” is set to OFF in the Function display.

Make sure that the “Style Volume” is set to an appropriate level in the Function display.

Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key in the Function display.

Is the [ACMP] button lit? If it is not lit, press the [ACMP] button so it lights.

This is not a malfunction. The BaroqueAir Style does not have a Rhythm part, so there is no rhythm sound for this Style. Also, this Style does not have a Fill-In section. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 64 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.

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.

Make sure the Language setting in the Function display is set to English. (See page 12)

Always press the desired style category button first when you are going to use any Style-related function.

The Harmony effects (01–26) behave differently according to their type. Types 01–10 and 13 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 15–26 will function whether Style playback is on or off. For types 23–26 you need to play two notes at the same time.

Communication with the USB device has been shut down because of overcurrent to the USB device. Disconnect the device from the USB TO DEVICE terminal, then turn the power of the instrument off and on again.

ON ARRANGER WORKSTATION KEYBOARDS

Thank you for selecting a Yamaha product. Yamaha products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free performance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“Yamaha”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and every Yamaha product. Yamaha sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer you, the Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from Yamaha’s authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in the Warranted Area. Yamaha suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized Yamaha dealer or Yamaha Customer Service if you have any questions.

Coverage: Yamaha will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or

otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or materials. Repairs may be performed using new or refurbished parts that meet or exceed Yamaha specifications for new parts. If Yamaha elects to replace the product, the replacement may be a reconditioned unit. You will be responsible for any installation or removal charges and for any initial shipping charges if the product(s) must be shipped for warranty service. However, Yamaha will pay the return shipping charges to any destination within the USA if the repairs are covered by the warranty. This warranty does not cover (a) damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from accident, negligence, misuse, abuse, improper installation or operation or failure to follow instructions according to the Owner’s Manual for this product; any shipment of the product (claims must be presented to the carrier); repair or attempted repair by anyone other than Yamaha or an authorized Yamaha Service Center; (b) any unit which has been altered or on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed; (c) normal wear and any periodic maintenance; (d) deterioration due to perspiration, corrosive atmosphere or other external causes such as extremes in temperature or humidity; (e) damages attributable to power line surge or related electrical abnormalities, lightning damage or acts of God; or (f) RFI/EMI (Interference/ noise) caused by improper grounding or the improper use of either certified or uncertified equipment, if applicable. Any evidence of alteration, erasing or forgery of proof-of-purchase documents will cause this warranty to be void. This warranty covers only the Original Owner and is not transferable.
