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-3B, PA-3C 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.

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

q Make sure that the power of the instrument is off

(display is blank, except for notation staff).

WARNING

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B or PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument.

w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3B, PA-3C or other

adaptor speciﬁcally recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

CAUTION

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

PA-3B or

PA-3C

AC outlet

■ Using Batteries

q Open the battery compartment cover located on the

instrument’s bottom panel.

w Insert the six new alkaline batteries, being careful

to follow the polarity markings on the side of the compartment.

e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it

locks ﬁrmly in place.

CAUTION

•Never connect or disconnect the AC power adaptor when the power is on and the batteries are installed. Doing so will turn the power off.

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, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below.

CAUTION

• Use alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low.

• Make sure to install the batteries with the proper orientation, 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 is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible ﬂuid leakage from the battery.

Make all necessary connections BEFORE turning the power on.

NOTE

Connecting headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)

Using the MIDI Terminals

Setting Up

The PSR-E203/YPT-200 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 and turn power off the devices before connecting them. Failure to observe these precautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of external 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)

other MIDI instrument

The instrument also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the instrument with other MIDI instruments or computers. (For more information, see page 50.)

• MIDI cables (sold separately) must be used for connecting to MIDI devices. They can be bought at music stores, etc.

Turn on the power

Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again turns the power off. When you ﬁrst turn on the power, make sure to turn down the volume of the instrument by pressing the MASTER VOLUME [-] button several times. While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level by using the MASTER VOLUME [+] and [-] buttons.

The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing an optional 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.

All panel settings as well as the settings made via the display are reset to their default values whenever the power is turned off.

CAUTION

• When using a power adaptor, even when the power is off, a small amount of electricity is still being consumed by the instrument. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure to unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Style (Auto Accompaniment) Functions

Pattern Variation (Sections)

The instrument features a wide variety of Style “sections” (patterns) that allow you to vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the Song you are playing.

Intro Main A/B

Auto ﬁllEnding

● INTRO section

This is used for the beginning of the Song When the intro ﬁnishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section. The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.

● MAIN section

This is used for playing the main part of the Song. It plays a main accompaniment pattern, and repeats indeﬁnitely until another section’s button is pressed. There are two variations on the basic pattern (A and B), and the Style playback sound changes harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand.

● Fill-in section

This is automatically added before changing the section A and B.

● ENDING section

This is used for the ending of the Song. When the ending is ﬁnished, the auto accompaniment stops automatically. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.

■ About chords

Playing two or more notes together simultaneously creates a “chord.”

Playing a note together with two other notes spaced three notes (steps) apart—such as the notes C, E and G—creates a harmonious sound. Chords like these are called “triads” and they play an important role in most music.

Taking the chord above as an example, the lowest note of this triad is called the “root note.” This is the central note sound, and it supports or anchors the rest of the notes chord. You’ll notice that the middle note of the chord above (E) is the third step in the succession of scale notes—C, D, then E. There are two types of “thirds” in chords: major thirds and minor thirds.

Minor third—three half steps from the rootMajor third—four half steps from the root

We’ll also alter the top note of our original chord and make three additional chords, as shown below. (The captions indicate the intervals between each of the notes.)

◆ Minor chord ◆ Augmented chord ◆ Diminished chord

aug

dim

The basic characteristics of the chord sound are same, no matter if we change the order of the notes from bottom to top, or if we add other same name notes in different octaves. Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner, and emotional music can be created by playing different chords one after the other according to commonly accepted rules. Harmony determines the nature of chords, and music is created based on harmony.

● Chord names

From the chord name, you can tell at a glance what type of chord it is and which notes make up the chord. Understanding the basic structure of chords is very useful—once you’re familiar with this, you’ll be quickly and easily play chords by looking at the names that appear above the notation.

About MIDI

The instrument features a MIDI terminals that can be connected to other MIDI instruments and devices for expanded musical functionality.

What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard interface for communication between electronic musical instruments and music devices. When MIDI-equipped instruments are connected via a MIDI cable, it becomes possible to transfer performance and setting data between them for signiﬁcantly enhanced performance and production potential.

CAUTION

• Connect the PSR-E203/YPT-200 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. Then, turn on the power, ﬁrst to the PSR-E203/YPT-200, then to the connected external equipment.

About MIDI

• If you can’t get any sound out of the instrument, Local Control may be the most likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in no sound when Local is set to OFF.

• If External Clock is ON and no clock signal is being received from an external device, the Song, Style, and metronome functions will not start.

■ MIDI settings

These settings should be made when transmitting/receiving performance data to a connected MIDI device or computer.

Local Settings

Local Control determines whether or not notes played on the instrument are sounded by its internal tone generator system; the internal tone generator is active when local control is on, and inactive when local control is off.

On ........ This is the normal setting in which notes played on the instru-

ment’s keyboard are sounded by the internal tone generator system. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.

Off ....... With this setting the instrument itself produces no sound

(keyboard performance, or Style playback), but the performance data is transmitted via the MIDI terminal. Data received via the instrument’s MIDI terminal will also be played by the internal tone generator.

NOTE

You can set the Local Control in the Function Settings (page 49).

External Clock Settings

These settings determine whether the instrument is synchronized to its own internal clock (OFF), or to a clock signal from an external device (ON).

On......... The instrument’s time based functions will be synchronized

to the clock from an external device connected to the MIDI terminal.

Off ........ The instrument uses its own internal clock (default).

You can set the External Clock in the Function Settings (page 49).

PSR-E203/YPT-200 Panel Setting Transmission (Initial Send)

Sends the PSR-E203/YPT-200 panel settings to an external MIDI device. When recording a PSR-E203/YPT-200 performance to an external sequencer or similar equipment, you can use this function to send the current PSR-E203/YPT-200 panel settings so that when the sequence is played back the original panel settings are automatically restored. You can set Initial Send in the Function settings (page 49).

Voice List

■ Maximum Polyphony • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

The instrument has 32-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 notes at once, regardless of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a number of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).

Drum Kit List

•“ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit”.

• Each percussion voice uses one note.

• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “Standard Kit”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).

•Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.

•Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 … 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to be played alternately with each other.)

MIDI Data Format

NOTE:

1 By default (factory settings) the instrument ordinarily func-

tions as a 16-channel multi-timbral tone generator, and incoming data does not affect the panel voices or panel settings. However, the MIDI messages listed below do affect the panel voices, auto accompaniment, and songs.

• MIDI Master Tuning

• System exclusive messages for changing the Reverb Type.

2 Messages for these control change numbers cannot be

transmitted from the instrument itself. However, they may be transmitted when playing the accompaniment, song.

3 Exclusive

<GM System ON> F0H, 7EH, 7FH, 09H, 01H, F7H

• This message automatically restores all default settings for the instrument, with the exception of MIDI Master Tuning.

<MIDI Master Volume> F0H, 7FH, 7FH, 04H, 01H, ll, mm,

F7H

• This message allows the volume of all channels to be changed simultaneously (Universal System Exclusive).

• The values of “mm” is used for MIDI Master Volume. (Values for “ll” are ignored.)

<MIDI Master Tuning> F0H, 43H, 1nH, 27H, 30H, 00H,

00H, mm, ll, cc, F7H

• This message simultaneously changes the tuning value of all channels.

• The values of “mm” and “ll” are used for MIDI Master Tuning.

• The default value of “mm” and “ll” are 08H and 00H, respectively. Any values can be used for “n” and “cc.”

<Reverb Type> F0H, 43H, 1nH, 4CH, 02H, 01H, 00H,

mmH, llH, F7H

• mm : Reverb Type MSB

• ll : Reverb Type LSB Refer to the Effect Map (page 60) for details.

4 When the accompaniment is started, an FAH message is

transmitted. When accompaniment is stopped, an FCH message is transmitted.When the clock is set to External, both FAH (accompaniment start) and FCH (accompaniment stop) are recognized.

5 Local ON/OFF

<Local ON> Bn, 7A, 7F <Local OFF> Bn, 7A, 00

Value for “n” is ignored.

6 Since this keyboard does not have touch response, the

level of the sound does not change in response to your playing strength. As a result, when you play the keyboard, the velocity value transmitted via MIDI is ﬁxed (set to the most suitable value for each Voice). However, the velocity of the accompaniment and song playback does change in response to performance data received via MIDI.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

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.

Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound.

• The volume is too soft.

• The sound quality is poor.

• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.

• The Song, etc. does not play correctly.

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 Style number 093-100 (Pianist).

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

The part indications, such as Right, Left and Both Hands, do not appear—even when pressing the [R] or [L] buttons for the Lesson.

Regardless of how strongly play the keys, the level of the sound does not change.

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.

Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 52.)

When using the Dictionary function (page 46), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

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

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock Settings” on page 52.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 43) is set to an appropriate level.

Is the Split Point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the Split Point at an appropriate key (page 36). Is the “ACMP ON” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.

This is not a malfunction. Style number 093-100 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if auto accompaniment is turned on.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If 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.

Always press the [STYLE] button ﬁrst when you are going to use any style-related function.

Make sure that you are not pressing the [R] or [L] buttons while the Song is playing. If you press one of the part buttons while playing the Song and before starting the Lesson, these buttons serve to mute the corresponding Song tracks. Stop the Song ﬁrst, then select the desired part and start the Lesson.

Since this keyboard does not have touch response, the level of the sound does not change in response to your playing strength.
