■
Location
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. Never
leave it inside a car where it can get very hot. Also avoid highly humid
or dusty places.
■
Interference From
Electromagnetic Fields
• Do not use your PortaTone close to television sets, radios or similar
equipment since this may cause interference noise in the other appliance.
■
Handling
• Protect your PortaTone from strong impact. Be careful not to drop it or
place heavy objects on it. Avoid applying excessive force to the
controls and keys.
■
When Not Using the PortaTone
• After use, always turn off the POWER switch. When not using your
PortaTone for long periods, be sure to remove the batteries to avoid
damage through battery leakage. When using the PortaTone with an
AC adaptor, unplug the adaptor from the electrical outlet, if the
instrument is not to be used for a long period of time, or during
electrical storms.
■
Cleaning
• Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains,
use a slightly moistened cloth.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, or other chemical solvents, since they will
damage the finish. Also, do not leave vinyl chloride material on the
PortaTone for a long time, since it may adhere to the exterior.
Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper
usage.

Congratulations
on your purchase of
the Yamaha PortaTone!
Congratulations
on your purchase of
the Yamaha PortaTone!
You now own a portable keyboard that combines advanced
functions, great sound and exceptional ease-of-use in a highly
compact package. Its outstanding features also make it an
remarkably expressive and versatile instrument.
Read this Owner’s Manual carefully while playing your new
PortaTone in order to take full advantage of its various features.
Precautions
— Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your new PortaTone is a fine musical instrument — and should be treated as such.
Handle it with care and common sense, and it will give you years of enjoyment.
2
Power Requirements
Your PortaTone can run either on batteries (sold separately)
or on normal household current by using the optional
Yamaha PA-3/3B Power Adaptor (or another adaptor
specifically recommended by Yamaha).
Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you will need
the optionally available Yamaha PA-3/3B Power Adaptor.
Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage to the
instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Plug the
adaptor into a convenient wall outlet and its connector into
the DC IN 10-12V jack on the back of your PortaTone.
Using Batteries
■
Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery
compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt size “D” batteries as
shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive
and negative terminals are properly aligned, and replace
the lid.
DC IN 10-12V
Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing.
Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
■
When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops
below a certain level, the PortaTone may not sound or
function properly or may be reset to the default status. As
soon as this happens, replace them with a complete set
of six new batteries. Never mix old and new batteries or
different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and
manganese).
To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended
period of time.
Accessory Jack
■
Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without disturbing
others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear
panel PHONES /AUX OUT jack. Sound from the built-in
speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert
a headphone plug into this jack.
■
Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or
Stereo System
Though the PortaTone is equipped with a built-in speaker
system, you can also play it through an external
amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PortaTone
and any external devices are turned off, then connect one
end of a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN
jack(s) of the other device and the other end to the rear
panel PHONES/AUX OUT jack on the PortaTone.
Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the included music stand into the
slot located at the top rear of the PortaTone control panel.

once you start playing.
MODE SECTION
This section indicates which mode is selected — Voice,
Style, or Song — and shows the name and number of the
selected Voice/Style/Song. To select the desired mode,
press the corresponding button: VOICE, STYLE, or SONG.
SETTING SECTION
This section indicates important settings related to the Style
and/or Song modes. These include LARGE/SMALL (page 7),
MINUS ONE (page 10), OTS (One Touch Setting; page 9, 10),
TEMPO (page 6), and Accompaniment Volume (page 7).
To turn the Large/Small, Minus One, and One Touch Setting
functions on/off, press the corresponding button:
LARGE/SMALL , MINUS ONE, or OTS. To control Tempo and
Accompaniment Volume, use the TEMPO and ACCOMP VOL
controls, respectively.
STYLE SECTION
This indicates playback of the Styles, or the
rhythm/accompaniment patterns. Each Style has different
“sections” — Intro, Main A and B, 4 Fill-ins, Ending, and Jam
Track — each of which is indicated in the display as it plays.
These can be played by pressing the appropriate button
during accompaniment playback. (See page 6, 7)
3. Press the DEMO button.
The Demo Songs will play from the Song number 01 in
sequence. You can play along on the keyboard with the
Songs. (Scores for the Demo Songs are provided on pages
11~20)
To stop playback, press the DEMO button again or press
the START/STOP button.
The Style section and the accompaniment LARGE/SMALL
will change according to the Style data while the Demo Song plays.
The Panel Display
The PortaTone features a large multi-function display that shows all important settings for the instrument.
The section below briefly explains the various icons and indications in the display.

The Voices are divided into various categories
depending on their characteristics or the effects used.
Harmony Voices (#45 - #58) automatically add a one-,
two- or three-note harmony to the original monophonic
Voice. Split Voices (#69 - #79) feature two Voices, each
playable from separate sections of the keyboard — the
lower Voice playable up to B2 and the upper Voice from
C3 (middle C). Echo Voices (#80 - #94) provide an echo
effect that adds delayed repeats to the original Voice.
Finally, Sustain Voices (#95 - #99) extend the sound by
adding a natural, slow release.
Also included are special Percussion Voices — #94 (with
Echo) and #00 — that let you play various drum and
percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the
Percussion Voice chart on page 5) Symbols are also
printed above the keyboard, conveniently indicating
which sounds are played from which keys.
About the Harmony Voices
Since Harmony Voices are designed to automatically play two or
more notes with the notes you play on the keyboard, only one note
can be played on the keyboard at a time. If several notes are played
together, only the last note or highest note played will be heard.
The type of harmony used depends on the particular Voice that is
selected. When an Auto Accompaniment Style or Song is not
playing, the basic key for the harmony is always C. When an Auto
Accompaniment Style is playing (or when the Stopped
Accompaniment function is active), the harmony changes according
to the chord played in the AUTO ACCOMP SECTION of the
keyboard, or according to the chord changes in the Intro, Ending, and
Jam Track sections. In the Song mode, the harmony changes
according to the chord progression of the Song.
Selecting and Playing a Voice
1. Select the Voice mode.
Press the VOICE button.
VOICE button VOICE icon in display
VOICE
2. Select the desired Voice number.
Use the numeric keypad. Available Voices are listed on
the upper right of the panel.
You can either enter the Voice number directly with the
number keys, or step up and down through the Voices
by using the +/- keys.
■
Using the number keys
Be sure to enter a two-digit number, as is printed next to
each Voice name on the panel. For example, to select
Voice 09, first press “0” on the numeric keypad, then “9.”
■
Using the +/- keys
Press the + key to select the next Voice, and press the key to select the previous Voice. Holding down either key
continuously scrolls up or down through the numbers.
The +/- keys have a “wrap around” feature. For example,
pressing the + key from the last number returns to Voice 01.
•To reset the selected voice to it's default (Voice 01), Simultaneously
press the +/- keys.
•Each Voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave
range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one Voice may sound
higher or lower than another Voice at the same key.
3. Play the selected Voice.
To change to another Voice, repeat step 2 above.
You can also play rhythm Styles in the Voice mode by
simply pressing the START/STOP button. The Style last
selected from the Style mode will be played.
The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12 notes.
(Depending on the Voice selected, fewer notes may be available.)
This includes not only the Voices played from the keyboard, but also
the notes in a Style pattern, and so on. Thus, if you play too many
notes at one time, some may not sound and/or others may be
cancelled.
Selecting and Playing Voices —
The Voice Mode
The Voice mode features 100 authentic Voices.
Many of these Voices have special preset characteristics or embellishments.

Percussion Voice Chart
(Voices 94 and 00)
A total of 100 different Styles are available, in fifteen
different categories. Each Style is made up of different
“sections” — Intro, Main A and B, 4 Fill-ins, Ending, and
Jam Track — letting you call up different
accompaniment patterns as you perform.
Each Style’s Jam Track section features specially
programmed chord progressions and accompaniment
that are ideal for the selected musical Style. If you’re a
novice and not familiar with playing chords, the
convenient Jam Track section automatically plays
stylistically appropriate chord changes for you to “jam”
over.
The Auto Accompaniment features that are built into the
rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to
your performance, letting you control the
accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto
Accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two
sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line,
and the lower (labeled “AUTO ACCOMP SECTION”) is for
the Auto Accompaniment function.
Selecting and Playing a Style
1. Select the Style mode.
Press the STYLE button.
2. Select the desired Style number.
Use the numeric keypad. Available Styles are listed on
the upper left of the panel.
You can either enter the Style number (two digits)
directly with the number keys, or step up and down
through the Styles by using the +/- keys.

3. Start the selected Style.
You can do this in one of three ways:
• Pressing the START/STOP button
The rhythm starts playing immediately without bass and
chord accompaniment. The currently selected Main A or B
section will play. (You can select either pattern by pressing
the appropriate button — MAIN/AUTO FILL A or B — before
pressing the START/STOP button.)
• Using Synchro Start
The PortaTone also has a Synchro Start function that
allows you to start the rhythm/accompaniment by simply
pressing a key on the keyboard. To use Synchro Start,
first press the SYNC-START button (the metronome icon
flashes to indicate Synchro Start stand-by), then press
one of the keys in the AUTO ACCOMP SECTION of the
keyboard.
Synchro Start is automatically set to stand-by when you
select the Style mode.
• Using Synchro Start with an Intro pattern
First, press one of the section buttons — MAIN/AUTO
FILL A, B, or JAM — to select which pattern follows the
Intro. Next, press the INTRO button, followed by the
SYNC-START button. (The INTRO indication in the
display lights, and the metronome icon and the MAIN
A /B/JAM indication flashes to indicate Synchro Start
stand-by.) To actually start the Intro pattern and
accompaniment, play one of the keys in the AUTO
ACCOMP SECTION of the keyboard.
4. Change chords using
the Auto Accompaniment feature.
Try playing a few successive single notes with your left
hand, and notice how the bass and chord
accompaniment change with each key you play. (Refer
to the boxed sections on pages 8 for more information
on how to use Auto Accompaniment.)
Chords played in the AUTO ACCOMP SECTION of the
keyboard are also detected and played when the accompaniment is
stopped. In this condition (Stopped Accompaniment function), the
Voices used for the bass and chords are automatically selected.
5.
Change the tempo of the Style, if you
wish.
Use the TEMPO buttons to change the tempo of the Style.
Press TEMPO a to increase the speed and TEMPO z to
decrease it; holding down the appropriate button
continuously increases/decreases the speed. The
tempo value appears in the display. Tempo range is
from 40 to 240 bpm (in 1 bpm steps).
To reset the tempo to its original default setting, press
both TEMPO buttons simultaneously.
Default Tempos — Each Song and Style has been given a
default or standard tempo. If you change the tempo, you can set it
back to the original default setting, by pressing both TEMPO buttons
simultaneously. Also, the tempo of a Song or Style returns to the
default setting when selecting a different Song or Style. If the style is
playing and the One Touch Setting function is off (see page 9), the
tempo remains even if you select a different style. When you turn on
the power of the PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set to the
default setting of Style 01.
About the METRONOME Icon
The METRONOME icon in the display flashes
in time with the current tempo during
playback of a Style (or Song). The flashing
pattern provides a visual indication of both
the tempo and time signature of the Style or
Song.

6.Change the Style section (Main A ,
Main B, or Jam Track), if you wish.
• Main A and Main B
While the Style is playing, you can add variation in the
rhythm/accompaniment by pressing the MAIN/AUTO
FILL A or B button. This automatically plays one of four
Fill-in patterns, and smoothly leads into the next
section — even if it is the same section.
The A or B indication appears in the display, flashing before playback of the
pattern and staying lit during playback.
• Jam Track
The Jam Track is a special accompaniment pattern
that includes automatic and chord progressions that
match the selected Style. Press the JAM TRACK button
during playback, and the accompaniment will
continue, changing chords according to the
programmed progression, letting you “jam” or play
along with the changes. The Jam Track
accompaniment pattern depends on the Main A or
Main B section that has been selected just before
pressing the Jam Track button.
The JAM indicaton appears in the display, flashing before playback of the
pattern and staying lit during playback.
Since the Jam Track progression is based on the last
chord played, you may want to play the root chord
before pressing JAM TRACK. (For example, if you are
playing a song in the key of E, play an E chord before
pressing JAM TRACK.)
¥If you press the MAIN A or B button, the Fill-in will begin
immediately, and the new section will actually begin playing from the
top of the next measure, unless the MAIN A or B button is pressed
during the last beat of the measure — in which case the Fill-in will
begin from the first beat of the next measure.
¥The section buttons can not be used during song playback or when
the SONG mode is selected.

Set the Accompaniment Volume, if you wish.
You may want to adjust the accompaniment volume,
separate from the overall instrument volume. To do this,
use the ACCOMP VOL buttons.
Press ACCOMP VOL a to increase the volume and
ACCOMP VOLz to decrease it; holding down the
appropriate button continuously increases/decreases
the volume. The level is shown in the display.
To reset the accompaniment volume to its original
default setting, press both ACCOMP VOL buttons
simultaneously.
The ACCOMP VOL buttons can not be used during song
playback or when the SONG mode is selected.
8.Change the accompaniment ensemble
“size” (LARGE/SMALL), if you wish.
Press the LARGE/SMALL button.
This switches between “large” ensemble and “small”
ensemble accompaniment, allowing you change the
instrumental texture and dynamics of the Auto
Accompaniment as you play. (The icon shows four
people when set to LARGE, and one person when set to
SMALL.)
9. Stop the Style.
You can do this in one of two ways:
• Pressing the START/STOP button
The rhythm/accompaniment stops playing
immediately.
• Using an Ending pattern
Press the ENDING button (the ENDING indication in the
display flashes). An ending pattern plays from the
next measure, then playback stops.

About Multi Fingering
The Auto Accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along with, by
using Multi Fingering operation. You can change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the AUTO ACCOMP
SECTION of the keyboard using either the “Single Finger” or “Fingered” method. With Single Finger you can simply play a
one-, two- or three-finger chord indication (see Single Finger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of
conventionally playing all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the PortaTone “understands” what chord you
indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment.
Though detection of the Single Finger and Fingered methods is automatic with Multi Fingering, you can set Auto
Accompaniment to function exclusively in either the Single Finger or Fingered mode.
To set Auto Accompaniment to Single Finger:
Turn the power off, then hold down the “-” key on the numeric keypad and simultaneously turn the power on. (“SINGLE”
briefly appears in the display.)
To set Auto Accompaniment to Fingered:
Follow the same steps as above, holding down the “+” key instead. (“FINGERED” briefly appears in the display.) To switch
back to Multi Fingering operation, simply turn the power off and on again.

In Single Finger, the AUTO ACCOMP SECTION is set between the C1 key (the lowest key) and the C#2 key.
Fingered Chords
Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fingered
mode.
Fingered Chords in the Key of C
Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.
• If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the PortaTone will
still recognize it as a C chord.
• Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position, however; all other
inversions are interpreted as minor 7th/flatted 5th.
• If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted, the lowest note will
be recognized as the root.
• 7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest note as the root or
the 7th.
• 1+2+5 chords are recognized only in root position; all other inversions
are interpreted as suspended 4th.
• 7th Augmented and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple
augmented and diminished.
• Chord Cancel function
When the auto accompaniment is set to Fingered, The PortaTone also
has a Chord Cancel function to stop the chord accompaniment but allow the
rhythm pattern to continue playing.
To use Chord Cancel, simultaneously press any three consecutive notes in
the AUTO ACCOMP SECTION; for example, C, C# and D.
Single Finger Chords
Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. The illustration below
shows how to produce the four chord types. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For
example, B
b
7 is played as Bband A.)

Selecting and Playing Songs —
The Song Mode
The Song mode features special Songs that have been created using the rich and dynamic sounds of the PortaTone.
The Songs are generally for your listening enjoyment;
however, you can also play along with them on the

can “mute” the original melody and play it manually on
the keyboard yourself.
Selecting and Playing a Song
1. Select the Song mode.
Press the SONG button.
2. Select the desired Song number.
Use the numeric keypad. Available Songs are listed on
the upper right of the panel.

5. Stop the Song.
Press the START/STOP button. If playback was started
by pressing the START/STOP button, the selected Song
stops automatically at the end.
If Minus One is on, the selected Song repeats playback
indefinitiely. Also, if you start Song playback with the DEMO button,
all Songs play back repeatedly in succession from the song number
01, indefinitely.
Minus One
Minus One, as its name implies, takes away the melody
part of the Song, allowing you to play that part yourself.
You can turn Minus One on before starting a Song, or do
it even while a Song is playing. To help you play the
“missing” melody, scores for all Songs have been
provided; see pages 11.
To use the Minus One function with the selected Song,
press the MINUS ONE button. (The Minus One icon

Possible Cause and Solution
This is normal and indicates that the PortaTone is receiving electrical power.
The battery power is too low. Replace the batteries. (See page 2)
Too many keys are pressed at the same time. The PortaTone is polyphonic up
to a maximum of 12 notes. (See the note on page 4)
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.
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/AUX OUT jack on the rear
panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.
Problem
When the PortaTone is turned on or off, a buzzing sound is
temporarily produced.
The sound of the Voices or rhythms seems unusual or
strange.
The PSR-190/78 is suddently reset to the default status.
Not all notes are heard when playing a number of notes
simultaneously.
The sound of the Voice changes from note to note.
There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or
when a Song is being played back.
Troubleshooting
The serial number of this product may be found on the bottom of the
unit. You should note this serial number in the space provided below
and retain this manual as a permanent record of your purchase to
aid identification in the event of theft.
