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-3C or PA-3B 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.

Water warning

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

Fire warning

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

If you notice any abnormality

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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:

Power supply/AC power adaptor

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

• 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.

Battery

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid leakage.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid leakage.

• Do not dispose of batteries in ﬁre.

• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.

• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage of the battery ﬂuid.

• Keep batteries away from children.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked ﬂuid. If the battery ﬂuid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery ﬂuid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-275/273 for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Power Requirements

Although the PSR-275/273 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 [STANDBY/ON] switch of the PSR-275/273 is set to

STANDBY.

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

mended by Yamaha) to the DC IN 10-12V jack.

e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B 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 adap tor and the PSR-275/273.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-275/ 273, or during electrical storms.

■ Using Batteries • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

For battery operation the PSR-275/273 requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced, the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries, as described below

q Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel. w Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings next

to the compartment cover.

e Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks ﬁrmly in place.

• 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.

• The effective life of rechargeable batteries may shorter than that of conventional batteries.

Turning On the Power

• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the PSR-275/273 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply press the power switch until it locks in the ON position. When the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the power off. (Press the switch again so that it pops up.)

Accessory Jacks

■ Using Headphones• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.

Setting Up

■ Connecting a Keyboard Ampliﬁer or Stereo System • • • • • • •

Though the PSR-275/273 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also play it through an external ampliﬁer/speaker system. First, make sure the PSR-275/273 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/OUTPUT jack on the PSR-275/273.

■ Using a Footswitch • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the voices. The footswitch functions the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano — press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.

■ Using the MIDI Terminals • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

The PSR-275/273 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the PSR-275/ 273 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information, see page 55.)

Stereo System

MIDI instrument

• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and grad ually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

• 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.

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PSR-275/273 to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your ﬁngering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1 octave).

Transpose can be set in the Function mode (page 60).

Effects

The PSR-275/273 is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to enhance the sound of the voices. The PSR-275/273 has three separate effect systems — Harmony, Reverb and Chorus — and each has many different effect types to choose from.

Harmony

The Harmony section features a variety of performance effects that enhance the melodies you play when using the accompaniment styles of the PSR-275/273. A total of twenty-six Harmony types are available. (See page 31.)

Tremolo, Trill and Echo effects can be used even if accompaniment is off. There are ﬁve different Harmony Types that automatically create harmony parts (for notes played in the upper area of the keyboard) to match the accompaniment chords.

• For the ﬁrst ﬁve Harmony Types (Duet, Trio, Block, Country, and Octave), chords must be played in the Accompaniment area of the keyboard. The Harmony voice(s) change in pitch to best match the chords you play.

• The speed of the Trill, Tremolo, and Echo effects depends on the Tempo setting (page 31).

Selecting and Playing Styles

The PSR-275/273 provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns (styles) — as well as voice settings appropriate for each style — for various popular musical categories.

A total of 100 different styles are available, in several different categories. Each style is made up of separate “sections” — Intro, Main A and B, and Ending — letting you call up different accompaniment sections as you perform.

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 areas: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (set by default to keys F#2 and lower) is for the auto accompaniment function.

The PSR-275/273 also features the convenient Dictionary function (page 42). Dictionary provides you with a built-in “chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play any chord you specify by showing you the appropriate notes in the display.

Using Auto Accompaniment — Multi Fingering

When it is set to on (page 34), 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 accompaniment area 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 PSR-275/273 “understands” what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment.

■ Single Finger Chords • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. The illustration 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, Bb7 is played as Bb and A.)

To play a major chord: Press the root note of the chord.

• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.

• Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.

• A perfect ﬁfth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and ﬁfth which can be used with both major and minor chords.

• The chord ﬁngerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be used — with the following exceptions:

m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), 1+2+5.

• Inversion of the 7sus4 and m7(11) chords are not recognized if the notes shown in parentheses are omitted.

• The auto accompaniment will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor sev enth).

• Two-note ﬁngerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • What is a Chord? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

The simple answer: Three or more notes played simultaneously is a chord. (Two notes played together is an “interval” — an interval being the distance between two different notes. This is also referred to as a “harmony.”) Depending on the intervals between the three or more notes, a chord can sound beautiful or muddy and dissonant.

The organization of notes in the example at left — a triad chord — produces a pleasant, harmonious sound. Triads are made up of three notes and are the most basic and common chords in most music.

In this triad, the lowest note is the “root.” The root is the most important note in the chord, because it anchors the sound harmonically by determining its “key” and forms the basis for how we hear the other notes of the chord.

The second note of this chord is four semitones higher than the ﬁrst, and the third is three semitones higher than the second. Keeping our root note ﬁxed and changing these notes by a semitone up or down (sharp or ﬂat), we can create four different chords.

Keep in mind that we can also change the “voicing” of a chord — for example, change the order of the notes (called “inversions”), or play the same notes in different octaves — without changing the basic nature of the chord itself.

Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner. The use of intervals and chords is one of the most important elements in music. A wide variety of emotions and feelings can be created depending on the types of chords used and the order in which they are arranged.

Knowing how to read and write chord names is an easy yet invaluable skill. Chords are often written in a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and gives you the freedom to play them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer). Once you understand the basic principles of harmony and chords, it’s very simple to use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song.

First, write the root note of the chord in an uppercase letter. If you need to specify sharp or ﬂat, indicate that to the right of the root. The chord type should be indicated to the right as well. Examples for the key of C are shown below.

Major chord

For simple major chords, the type is omitted.

One important point: Chords are made up of notes “stacked” on top of each other, and the stacked notes are indicated in the chord name of the chord type as a number — the number being the distance of the note from the root. (See the keyboard diagram below.) For example, the minor 6th chord includes the 6th note of the scale, the major 7th chord has the 7th note of the scale, etc.

Song Lesson

The Lesson feature provides an exceptionally fun and easy-to-use way to learn how to read music and play the keyboard. Lesson lets you practice the left- and right-hand parts of each song independently, step by step, until you’ve mastered them and are ready to practice with both hands together. These practices are divided into four Lesson steps, as described below. Lessons 1 - 3 apply to each hand; press the appropriate button, [L] (left) or [R] (right) to select the desired part for practice.

■ Lesson 1 — Timing

This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes — any note can be used, as long as you play in rhythm.

■ Lesson 2 — Waiting

In this lesson step, the PSR-275/273 waits for you to play the correct notes before continuing playback of the song.

■ Lesson 3 — Minus One

This lesson step plays back the song with one part muted, letting you play and master the missing part yourself — in rhythm and at the proper tempo.

■ Lesson 4 — Both Hands

Lesson 4 is a “Minus One” practice essentially the same as Lesson 3, except that both the left- and right-hand parts are muted — letting you play and master both hands at the same time.

Play the appropriate part with the song.

After the lead-in, the song starts automatically, and the appropriate notes appear in the display. In Lesson 3, listen carefully to the un-muted part, and play the muted part yourself.

Lesson 4 — Both Hands

Lesson 4 is a “Minus One” practice essentially the same as Lesson 3, except that both the left- and right-hand parts are muted — letting you play and master both hands at the same time. Go on to this lesson step after you’ve mastered each hand’s part in the previous three lesson steps. Practice both hands in time with the rhythm along with the notation in the display.

Grade

The Lesson feature has a built-in evaluation function that monitors your practicing of the Lesson songs, and just like a real teacher, it indicates how well you did each exercise. Four grades are assigned, depending on your performance: “Try Again,” “Good,” “Very Good!,” and “Excellent!.”

MIDI Functions

The PSR-275/273 is MIDI-compatible, featuring MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals and providing a variety of MIDI-related controls. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your PSR-275/273.

What Is MIDI?

No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note?

Acoustic guitar note production Digital instrument note production

Tone Generator

(Electronic circuit)

Playing the keyboard

Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound.

Sampling

Note

Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.

As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?

For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the PSR-275/273 keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,” “with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed,” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.

● Example of Keyboard Information

Voice number (with what voice) 01 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) Note on (when was it pressed) and

note off (when was it released) Velocity (about how strong) 120 (strong)

Timing expressed numerically (quarter note)

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which

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

• Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The PSR-275/273 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The PSR-275/273 can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices speciﬁed for the various parts.

MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages. Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages which the PSR-275/273 can receive/transmit.

● Channel Messages

The PSR-275/273 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels. This is usually expressed as “it can play 16 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.

ume, etc.).

● System Messages

This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include messages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.

Message Name PSR-275/273 Operation/Panel Setting

Exclusive Message Reverb setting, etc. Realtime Messages Clock, Start/stop operations

The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-275/273 are shown in the MIDI Implementation Chart on page 68.

MIDI Terminals

In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be connected by a cable. The MIDI terminals of the PSR-275/273 are located on the rear panel.

MIDI IN Receives MIDI data from another MIDI device. MIDI OUT Transmits the PSR-275/273’s keyboard information as MIDI

data to another MIDI device.

MIDI Functions

Connecting to a Personal Computer

By connecting your PSR-275/273’s MIDI terminals to a personal computer, you can have access to a wide variety of music software.

● When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-275/273.

Local Control

This function lets you enable or disable keyboard control over the PSR-275/273’s voices in the Function mode (page 60). This would come in handy, for example, when recording notes to MIDI sequencer. If you are using the sequencer to play back the voices of the PSR-275/273, you would want to set this to “off” — in order to avoid getting “double” notes, both from the keyboard and from the sequencer. Normally, when playing the PSR-275/273 by itself, this should be set to “on.”

Using Initial Setup Send with a Sequencer

The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a song on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the PSR-275/273. Essentially, this takes a “snapshot” of the PSR-275/273 settings and sends that data to the sequencer. By recording this “snapshot” at the start of the song (before any actual performance data), you can instantly restore the necessary settings on the PSR275/273 in the Function mode (pa you could also do this in the middle of a song — for example, completely changing the PSR-275/273 settings for the next section of the song.

• No sound is output from the PSR-275/273 when Local ON/ OFF is set to OFF.

• When the Initial Setup Send operation is completed, the PSR275/273 automatically returns to the previous panel condition.

External Clock

This determines whether the style and song playback functions are controlled by the PortaTone’s internal clock (off) or by MIDI clock data from an external sequencer or computer (on). This should be set to on when you want to have style or song playback follow the external device (such as a rhythm machine or a sequencer). The default setting is off.

These settings can be made in the Function mode (pa

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

The PSR-275/273 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 Split Voice and Song functions.

Drum Kit List

• “ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.

• Each percussion voice uses one note.

• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “109: Standard Kit 1”, 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.)

*1 By default (factory settings) the PSR-275/273 ordinarily functions 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 and Chorus Type.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the PSR-275/273 is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PSR-275/273 may pro-

There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song is being played back.

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

The sound of the voices or rhythms seems unusual or strange.

The auto accompaniment doesn’t turn on, even when pressing the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

The style or song does not play back even when pressing the [START/STOP] button.

The style or song does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume or Song Volume (page 39) is set to

When playing back one of the Pianist styles (#93 #100), the rhythm cannot be heard.

This is normal and indicates that the PSR-275/273 is receiving electrical power.

duce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the PSR-275/273.

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 or PC Mode on/off. (See page 57, 58.)

When using the Dictionary function (page 42), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The battery power is too low. Replace the batteries. (See page 10.)

Make sure the Style mode is active before using the auto accompaniment. Press the [STYLE] button to enable style operations.

Check the External Clock on/off. (See page 57.)

an appropriate level.

This is normal. The Pianist styles have no drums or bass — only piano accompaniment. The accompaniment of the style can only be heard when accompaniment is set to ON and keys are played in the auto accompaniment area of the keyboard.

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

A strange “flanging” or “doubling” sound occurs when using the PSR-275/273 with a sequencer. (This may also sound like a “dual” layered sound of two voices, even when Dual is turned 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 AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (sam-

The PSR-275/273 is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 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.

When using the style with a sequencer, set MIDI Echo (or the relevant control) to “off.” (Refer to the owner’s manual of your particular device and/or software for details.)

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.
