Precautions Ñ
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.
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.
¥Always unplug cables by gripping the plug firmly, and not by pulling on the cable.
Turn Power Off When Making Connections --------------------
¥To avoid damage to the PortaTone or other equipment, turn off the power of all related equipment Ñ including the PortaTone Ñ before connecting or disconnecting any cables.
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.
Service and Modification --------------------------------------------
¥Your PortaTone contains no user-serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in any way may result in damage and even electrical shock. Refer all servicing to qualified Yamaha personnel.
NOTE
¥ Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper usage.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
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.
DC IN 10-12V
Using Batteries
Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt size ÒDÓ batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned, and replace the lid.
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 it may 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).
NOTE
¥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.

PHONES/AUX OUT 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.
PHONES /
AUX OUT
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.
SUSTAIN Jack
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be connected to the rear panel SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper switch on a piano: press and hold to sustain the sound, and release for normal decay.
For normal operation, turn the power off before connecting the footswitch, then turn the PortaTone on without pressing the footswitch. Also, do not disconnect the switch while the power is on.
SUSTAIN
NOTE
¥ Make sure to turn the power off before connecting or disconnecting the footswitch.
Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the included music stand into the slot located at the top rear of the PortaTone control panel.

Playing Voices ÑThe Voice Mode
The PortaTone features a wealth of dynamic, realistic Voices — 100 Panel Voices, or 129 GM Voices (128 Voices + 1 Percussion Kit). (See pages 42, 43.) The Voice mode gives you many powerful and versatile tools for playing and enhancing these Voices.
The Voice mode is actually divided into three separate modes: Main, Dual and Split. In the Main Voice mode (see below), you can play a single Voice over the entire range of the keyboard. The Dual Voice mode (page 12) allows you to “layer” two different Voices together for rich, complex sounds. The Split Voice mode (page 14) lets you set up two different Voices for playing from separate sections of the keyboard. Moreover, a special Voice Effect section (page 16 - 18) lets you enhance the sound of the Voice or Voices with Chorus, Harmony, Echo, and Reverb effects.
Selecting and Playing a Voice Ñ Main Voice Mode
1 Select the Voice mode.
Press the VOICE button. (The VOICE indications appear in the display, indicating that the Voice mode and Main Voice menu are selected.)

You can either enter the Voice number directly with the number buttons, or step up and down through the Voices by using the +/- buttons.

About Panel Voices and GM Voices
Keep in mind that the PortaTone has two separate sets of Voices: 100 Panel Voices and 129 GM (General MIDI) Voices. The GM Voices can also be used for optimum playback of GMcompatible song data. This means that any GM song data (played from a sequencer or other MIDI device) will sound just as the composer or programmer intended.
To change between Panel and GM Voices, use the Sub Menu in the Main, Dual, or Split Voice modes (see pages 11, 13, 15).
3 Play the selected Voice.
To change to another Voice, repeat step 2 above.
NOTE
¥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.
4 Change other settings for the Voice — Volume, Octave,
Pan, etc. — if you wish.
Whenever you select a Panel Voice for the Main Voice, the Sub Menu parameters for that Voice are automatically set to values that best suit the Voice. This is the Voice Set function. (See page 19.)
However, you can change the Voice settings if you wish by using the Sub Menu. First, select the desired Sub Menu parameter with the SUB MENU buttons. Then, use the numeric keypad or +/- buttons to change the setting.
