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 it, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

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.

• 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.

Formats

“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. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

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 (Style File Format)” is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide highquality 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.

The PSR-S670 has a comprehensive and sonically stunning set of authentic Voices, and gives you the tools to play these Voices more naturally and with greater expressiveness.

The Styles of the PSR-S670 make it possible to perform in a wide variety of music genres with full instrumental accompaniment. Simply playing chords automatically triggers and controls the auto accompaniment backing, and puts an entire backing band behind you! You can change arrangements on the fly, instantly selecting different rhythm variations and breaks in real time — including Intro, Ending, and Fill-in — during your performance.

The Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences. Playing the Multi Pads during playback of Styles, etc. can add impact and variety to your performance, and make it more dynamic.

The PSR-S670 is an open-ended instrument that lets you continually expand the available content for your creative explorations. Featured on our special website (http://www.yamaha.com/awk/) are many Voices and Styles (called Expansion Pack data) that you can buy and load to the PSR-S670. By using the “Yamaha Expansion Manager” software, you can manage the variety of Expansion Packs and create your own custom Pack for installing on your instrument.

The PSR-S670 has high-quality effect types, including Real Distortion and Real Reverb. The DSP effects allow you to play the keyboard dynamically with a distorted guitar sound, or sound like you are playing in a concert hall.

be played back on the instrument. You can also record your performance as audio files (WAV format) to a USB flash drive — making it easy to edit your recordings on computer as desired, and share them over the Internet, or burn your own original CDs.

The two knobs to which various functions can be assigned lets you intuitively control your performance in real-time. For example, you can use the knobs to brightness (cutoff frequency) of the sound being played or to control the volume balance between the parts such as Voice and Style. Thus you can easily add variations to the sound without interrupting your performance. You can also control your performance easily by using the two wheels — PITCH BEND and MODULATION. The PITCH BEND wheel can bend the notes up or down, and the MODULATION wheel can apply a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard.

Welcome to Digital Workstation

You can play arpeggios (broken chords) by simply pressing the appropriate notes on the keyboard, allowing you to instantly and automatically have complex and otherwise difficult-to-play phrases backing your performance.

These are just a few of the many functions that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your creative and performance possibilities. Try them out and enjoy your new keyboard!

Using the Wheels

NOTE

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel

Use the [PITCH BEND] wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The Pitch Bend is applied to all the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). The [PITCH BEND] wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released.

The maximum pitch bend range can be changed on the Mixing Console display: [MIXER]  TAB [E][F] TUNE  Cursor buttons [][][E][F] PITCH BEND RANGE.

Using the Modulation Wheel

The effects produced by using the [PITCH BEND] wheel may not be applied to the LEFT part during Style playback, depending on the Style setting.

The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. By default, this is applied to the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). Moving the [MODULATION] wheel up (away from you) increases the depth of the effect, while moving it down (toward you) decreases it.

You can set whether the effects caused by the [MODULATION] wheel will be applied or not to each of the keyboard part: [FUNCTION]  TAB [E] MENU 1  Cursor buttons [][][E][F] CONTROLLER  [ENTER]  TAB [F] KEYBOARD/PANEL  Cursor buttons [][] 2 MODULATION WHEEL.

Depending on the selected Voice, the [MODULATION] wheel may control volume, filter or some other parameter instead of vibrato.

To avoid accidentally applying modulation, make sure the [MODULATION] wheel is set at minimum (down) position before you start playing.

The effects produced by using the [MODULATION] wheel may not be applied to the LEFT part during Style playback depending on the Style setting.

•FINGERED

This lets you specify the chord by pressing the notes making up a chord in the left hand section of the keyboard when [ACMP] is turned on or the LEFT part is turned on. For information on which notes to press for each chord, use the Chord Tutor function (page 50) or refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

• AI FULL KEYBOARD

This lets you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands — like conventional playing of a piano — and still have appropriate accompaniment. You don’t have to worry about specifying the chords. (Depending on the song arrangement, AI Full Keyboard may not always produce appropriate accompaniment.)

For other types, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

The Style Creator function lets you create original Styles by recording rhythm patterns from the keyboard and using already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to create, then record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source Pattern” in the Style Creator) for each channel of each Section.

This section gives you a brief introduction of the Style Creator function. For instructions on how to use the function, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Style Data Structure — Source Patterns

A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate channels, each of which is referred to as “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.

Editing the Rhythm Part of a Style (Drum Setup)

The Rhythm parts of a preset Style consist of a preset Drum Kit, and each drum sound is assigned to a separate note. You may want to change the sounds and the note assignments, or make more detailed settings such as volume balance, effect, etc. By using the Drum Setup function of the Style Creator, you can edit the Rhythm part of a Style and save it as an original Style. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.

Songs

NOTE

– Playing, Practicing and Recording Songs –

For the PSR-S670, “Song” refers to the MIDI songs which include preset songs, commercially available MIDI format files, etc. Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along with Song playback and record your own performance as a Song.

MIDI song

A MIDI Song is comprised of your keyboard performance information and is not a recording of the actual sound itself. The performance information refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and at what strength — just as in a musical score. Based on the recorded performance information, the tone generator outputs the corresponding sound. Since MIDI Song data contains the information such as keyboard part and Voice, you can practice effectively by viewing the score, turning the particular part on or off, or changing Voices.

Playback of Songs

For instructions on playback and recording of audio files, refer to page 69.

You can play back the following types of Songs.

• Preset Songs (in the PRESET tab of the Song Selection display)

• Your own recorded Songs (page 66)

• Commercially available Song data: SMF (Standard MIDI File)

If you want to play back a Song in USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive containing Song data to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal beforehand.
