PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions 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:
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-6 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
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 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.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, al­ways hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple­connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• 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.
• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or ex­treme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or dam­age to the internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi­sions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acci­dentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl or plastic objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• 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.
• Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause dam­age to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
• Do not operate the instrument 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.
SAVING USER DATA
• Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
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.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Shortcuts

To make operation as easy and as efficient as possible, the PSR-730/630 features a number of “shortcuts” which allow you to jump directly to certain functions without having to use the MENU and SUB MENU buttons. All of these shortcuts work in the same way: press and hold a panel button for a few seconds to go to the related function. For example, if you press and hold the [REVERB] button for a few seconds , y ou will go directly to the REVERB type selection function. The shorcuts will also be described where appropriate throughout this manual.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-730/630 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-730/630.

Power Supply

• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the
Although the PSR-730/630 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Y amaha recommends use of the more environmentally safe A C adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use .

Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor

batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-730/630 record op­eration! Doing so can re­sult in a loss of data.
z Plug an optional Yamaha PA-6 Power Adaptor into a wall AC outlet. x Then plug the DC output cable from the PA-6 into the DC IN 10-12V jack on
the rear panel of the PSR-730/630. The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.
DC IN 10-12V
PA-6
When turning the power OFF, simply reverse the procedure.

Using Batteries

For battery operation the PSR-730/630 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R­20 or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced “Lo Battery!!” may appear on top of the display, the volume ma y be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and replace the batteries.
Replace the batteries as follows:
z Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’ s bottom panel. x Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on
the inside of the compartment.
c Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-6 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 PSR-730/630.
• Unplug the AC Power Adap­tor when not using the PSR­730/630, or during electrical storms.
• 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.
• Plugging or unplugging the AC power adaptor while the batteries are in­stalled will reset the PSR­730/630 to the defaults.
Important Notes on Battery Use
• Since the PSR-730 and PSR-630 consume a considerable amount of power , Yamaha recommends the use of an A C power adaptor rather than batteries. The batteries should be consid­ered an auxiliary power source for data backup.
• The floppy disk drive, in pa rticular, uses a large amount of power, so it is impor tant to always use an AC power ada ptor when performing disk-intensive operations such as song re­cording/playback or data load/save. If you attempt to use battery power for these operations and the batteries do fail, you will lose not only the data you’re recording or sa ving, b ut also
12
other data in internal memory including user styles, user pads, registration memory, etc.
• Taking the above precautions into consideration, always use an AC power adaptor when using the PSR-630/730 for an impor­tant performance or when creating important data.
• When using batteries and the “Lo Battery!!” war ning initially appears on the display, the v olume will drop a little but you will be able to use the instrument for a while longer. When the “Lo Battery!!” warning begins to appear every few seconds, re­place the batteries as soon as possible.

FOOT VOL
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private pr actice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of head­phones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
Do not listen with the headphones at high vol­ume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
The sustain function causes the sound from a depressed key to continue, even after the key is released. Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into the sustain jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The footswitch con­nected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of some panel buttons, doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment (page
117).
Connecting an optional Y amaha FC7 foot con­troller lets you use your foot to change the volume as you play the PSR-730/630 (expres­sion function). The foot controller connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of the main volume controls, such as accompani­ment or song volume (page 117).
Setting Up
• Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF sta­tus of the footswitch will be reversed.
• When the sustain or sostenuto pedal func­tions are being used (page 117), some voices may sound con­tinuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the pedal is held.

See page 121.
The rear-panel AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks
deliver the output of the PSR-730/630 for con­nection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-730/630 to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the left- and right-channel signals ar e com­bined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the PSR-730/630 sound. (Use phone plugs).
• Connecting PSR­730/630 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. 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.

A Word About the “R1”, “R2”, and “L” Voices

The PSR-730/630 allows up to three voices to be selected at the same time: “R1” (Right-hand 1), “R2”, (Right-hand 2) and “L” (Left-hand). The “R1” voice is the basic voice of the PSR-730/630 and it’s used when you’re playing a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard as with an acoustic piano. Y ou can also have two voices play together at the same time (R1 voice and R2 voice) or play dif ferent voices with the right and left hands (R1 voice and L voice) (pages 19, 20). The numbers of the currently selected R1, R2, and L voices are all shown at the lower right of on the display panel. Normally, the R1 voice n umber is also shown at the upper right of the display panel.

Using Auto Accompaniment, even a solo performer can enjoy playing with an entire band or orchestra backing them up.
When Auto Accompaniment is turned on...
The specified left-hand section of the keyboard becomes the “Auto Accompa­niment” section, and chords played in this section are automatically detected and used as a basis for fully automatic accompaniment with the selected style.
AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

INTRO Section
This is the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompa­niment shifts to the main section.
MAIN Section
There are two variations that can play in the main section of the song: A and B. The Auto Accompaniment will automatically play following along with the chords that you play.
FILL-IN Section
Fill-in livens up pauses in the song. W henever you press the MAIN/AUT O FILL [A] or [B] button during accompaniment, the PSR-730/630 will generate an appropriate “fill-in” (one of four types: AA, AB, BA, and BB) which will smoothly connect the current section to the selected section — even if it is the same section.

The PSR-730/630 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, and PHRASE 2 — that you can control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompa­niment. When a style is selected the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain data for any section of that style will light.
Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing the TRACK buttons corresponding to the target tracks. The track icon will disappear when a track is muted. By turning the tracks OFF and ON in different combinations, you can create various arrangements from a single accompaniment style.

paniment required by each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.
P AD This track plays long chords where necessary , using
sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2 This is where the musical embellishments reside.
The PHRASE tracks are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.

• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
• If you play any three adjacent keys (includ­ing black keys), the chord sound will be canceled and only the rhythm instruments will continue playing (CHORD CANCEL function).
• Playing a single key or 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:

• Inversion of the 7sus4 chord is not recog­nized if the 5th is omitted.
• The AUTO ACCOM­PANIMENT will some­times not change when related chords are played in se­quence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
• Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previ­ously played chord.

The FINGERED 2 Mode
gered 2de: FinFingerMo
This is essentially the same as the FINGERED 1 mode, described above, except that the FINGERED 2 mode additionally allows you to specify the lowest note of each chord — simply, the lowest note played in the AUTO ACCOMPANI­MENT section of the keyboard is used as the accompaniment bass note. This means you can specify “on-bass” chords in which the main bass note for the chord is not the root of the chord. For a C major chord, for example, you could use E (the third) or G (the fifth) as the bass note rather than C.

The FULL KEYBOARD Mode (Full Key)
l Keyde: FulFingerMo
When the FULL KEYBOARD Mode is selected, the PSR-730/630 will auto­matically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboar d. You do not have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. The name of the detected chord will appear in the display.
• When the FULL KEY­BOARD mode is se­lected, the split point set­ting (see page 30) for the auto accompaniment will be ignored.
• Chord detection occurs at approximately 8th-note intervals. Extremely short chords — less than an 8th note in length — may not be detected.
34
The MULTI-FINGER Mode (Multi)
tide: MulFingerMo
This is the default accompaniment mode. The MULTI-FINGER mode auto­matically detects SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED 1 chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes.

The Stop Accompaniment Function

While the SINGLE FINGER, FINGERED 1, FINGERED 2, or MULTI-FIN­GER mode is selected chords played in the AUTO ACCOMPNIMENT section of the keyboard are also detected and played by the PSR-730/630 Auto Accompani­ment system when the accompaniment is stopped (except when the FULL KEY­BOARD mode is engaged). In this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically .
Auto Accompaniment
• If you want to play minor, seventh or minor seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER operation in the MULTI-FINGER Mode, al­ways press the closest white/black key(s) to the root of the chord.
• When the AUTO AC­COMPANIMENT split point and SPLIT VOICE split point are set to the same key, the L voice and the automatically selected bass note will sound.

Groove and Dynamics (PSR-730)

The PSR-730 Groove & Dynamics function lets you temporarily change the timing, velocity and gate time of notes during playback of any of the preset accompaniment styles (style numbers 1-100).
Groove .......... Lets you play the music with some swing or put a little groove
in the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the accompaniment.
Dynamics...... Changes the impression of the accompaniment by varying the
velocity of the notes in relation to the timing.
The Groove & Dynamics function is composed of the four items belo w . When you choose an accompaniment style, the most appropriate template or value for each item will be automatically set.
• Beat Groove Template (Automatically selected from 49 types)
• Measure Groove Template (Automatically selected from 25 types)
• Dynamics Template (Automatically selected from 17 types)
• Dynamics Rate (Automatically set within a range of 0-100%)
• Expand Rate (Automatically set within a range of 0-400%)
• Boost Rate (Automatically set within a range of 0-400%)

Multi Effect (PSR-730)

Multi Effect allows you to apply three types of eff ects (reverb, chorus and DSP) more powerfully and effectivel y.

How Multi Effect Works

With Multi Effect, you can combine 2 ef fects (Effect 1/2) and apply them to the output from the keyboard (R1/R2/L parts).
There are 2 ways to combine the effects; in series or in parallel.
Example 1) Applying Effects 1 and 2 to separate parts (parallel)

• By adding Multi-Effect
to Reverb, Chorus and DSP, the PSR­730 can have up to 5 system effects.
• Since Multi-Effect is
installed closer to the tone generator than Reverb, Chorus or DSP, it can function as an insertion effect. See page 143, “About Digital Effects.”

The Digital Equalizer (PSR-730)

Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound output from amps or speakers to match the special character of the room. The sound is divided into se v eral fr equency bands, then by raising or lowering the level for eac h band, the corr ection is made.
Adjusting the sound you play according to the genre—classical music more refined, pops music more crisp, and rock music more dynamic—can also serve to draw out the special characteristics of the music and make your performance more enjoyable.
The PSR-730 possesses a high grade 5 band digital equalizer function. With this function, a final effect—tone control—can be added to the output of your instrument.

The Multi Pads

The PSR-730/630 MUL TI P ADS can be used to play a n umber of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard performances. You can also record your own MUL TI P AD phrases as described in “MUL TI P AD Recording” on page 106. Some pad phrases simply play back as prog rammed, while others are “chord match” types which, if the CHORD MATCH function is turned on, are automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR-730/630 Auto Accompaniment feature.

Selecting a MULTI PAD Set

The PSR-730/630 has 36 multi pad sets, each containing a complete set of 4 MUL TI P AD phrases — 144 phrases in all. Before using the MUL TI PADS, select the MUL TI PAD set containing the phrases you want to use as follows:

Disk Operations

There is a disk drive installed in the PSR-730/630. By inserting a floppy disk into it, y ou can do many things: record and pla ybac k user songs, sa ve and load user styles (page 98), user pads (page 106), or registration memory data (page 57). You can save an y number of user styles and registration data on floppy disks, make song libraries or find many other ways to make playing the PSR-730/630 more efficient.
There is a sample disk packed with the PSR-730/630. It contains 20 XG songs and 8 style files. To play back the songs see page 76. To load the styles see page 70.

Floppy Disk Handling Precautions

Floppy disks are an inexpensive, convenient, and reliable way to store your music data. They are not indestructable, however, and should be handled with care. Observe the following points to ensure the long-term safety of your disks and data.
Type of Disk
• Use the 3.5-inch 2DD or 2HD floppy disks with the PSR-730/
630.
Taking Care of Your Floppy Disks
• Never attempt to eject a disk during a read or write operation (i.e. while the disk drive is operating). Doing so can damage both the disk and the drive.
• Never turn the power ON or OFF while a disk is in the drive. Always eject the disk before turning the power OFF.
• To eject a floppy disk from the disk drive press the eject button slowly as far as it will go. Then when the disk is fully ejected, remove it by hand. The disk may not be ejected properly if the eject button is pressed too quickly or if it is not pressed in far enough (the eject button may become stuck halfway with the disk extending from the slot by only a few millimeters). If this is the case, do not attempt to pull out the partially ejected disk. Doing so may damage the disk drive mechanism and/or the floppy disk. To remove a partially ejected disk, try pressing the eject button once again or push the disk back into the slot, then repeat the eject procedure carefully.
This lamp is always on when the power is on, regardless of Disk operation.
• Do not insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects can damage the disk drive or floppy disk.
• Never open the disk shutter by hand or touch the internal surface of the disk. Dirt, dust, or grease on the disk’s magnetic surface can cause data errors.
• Never leave disks near a speaker, TV, or other device that emits a strong magnetic field. Strong magnetic fields can partially erase the data on the disk.
• Do not store disks in places exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat. The acceptable storage temperature range is approximately 4° to 53° C (39° to 127° F).
• Do not store disks in areas subject to extreme dryness or humidity. The acceptable relative humidity range is approxi­mately 8 to 90%.
• Do not store disks in areas contaminated with dust, sand, smoke, etc.
• Do not place heavy objects such as books on top of a disk.
• Avoid getting floppy disks wet, particularly with oily or sticky fluids. A disk that has been wet with water should be allowed to dry naturally before use. Disks contaminated by other fluids can cause damage to the disk drive and should be discarded.
• Be sure to apply the disk label at the proper position. When changing the label never cover the old label with a new label; always remove the old label first.
Head Cleaning
• With extended use the read/write head of the disk drive will pick up dust and other particles that will eventually cause data errors. If this occurs, clean the head with a 3.5 inch head cleaning disk available from most computer supply stores.
Data Backup
• For maximum data security we strongly recommended that you keep two copies of important data on separate floppy disks. These disks should ideally be stored in separate locations. This gives you a backup if one disk is lost or damaged.
Protecting Your Data (Write Protect Tab)
• To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk’s write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). If you attempt to modify the disk when the write-protect tab is set to ON position, “Disk Write Protected!!” will appear on the display indicating that the operation is not possible.
Write protect tab ON

Maximum of 60 files can be saved.

User Style/User Pad/Registration Memory Data

The PSR-730/630 has User Style, User Pad and Registration Memory functions installed. The data recorded with these functions can also be saved individually or gathered together to floppy disks and also the data (files) saved on disks can be loaded individually or gathered together into the PSR-730/630.
Disk Operations
• It may not be possible to record the full 60 files to a disk, de­pending on the legnth of the recorded files.
• The maximum num­ber of files may vary according to the type and volume of the saved files (page 68).

• When saving data, use a floppy disk for­matted on the PSR­730/630.
• The three letters after the file name (after the period) are called the extension. The ex­tension shows the type of file.
• Since the user songs are directly recorded to the disk as you play during recording and read from the disk during playback, the Save/Load functions are not available. The Disk Copy, Song Copy and Delete File operations related to the user songs can be executed.

• Section changes and their timing
• Chord changes and their timing.
• Accompaniment volume
• Reverb type.
• Chorus type.
• Tempo and time signature*
The keyboard (R1/R2/L) tracks record the following and data:
• Note on/off (key press and release)
• Velocity (strength of key press)
• R1/R2/L voice number, volume, octa ve*, pan, rev erb depth, chorus depth, DSP depth.
• Reverb on/off and type
• Chorus on/off and type
• DSP (including variation) on/off and type
The maximum amount of song memory is 65,000 notes for 2DD disks and 130,000 notes for 2HD disks. * Recorded only at the beginning of a song; changes cannot be made during recording.
• Multi effect on/off, type and set­tings (PSR-730)
• Harmony on/off, type
• Sustain pedal on/off
• Pitch bend, pitch bend range.

Song Recording

Multi Recording Procedure

With Multi Recording, you can record up to 16 tracks for a single song. The default settings for the tracks are as follows:
Track 1 ............... For recording keyboard playing (R1 part).
Track 2 ............... For recording keyboard playing (R2 part).
Track 3 ............... For recording keyboard playing (L part).
Tracks 4,5 ......... For recording keyboard playing (R1 part).
Tracks 6–8 ........ For recording harmony notes (Harmony type 7–16).
Tracks 9–16...... For recording Auto Accompaniment notes (RHYTHM 1–
PHRASE 2)
Engage the Song Record Mode and Select the User Song
1
In the same way as steps 13 for Quick Recording, engage the Song Recording
Mode and select the user song number.
• Even though three tracks, track 1, 4 and 5, are pre­pared for R1 part as the default, the R1 part perfor­mance cannot be re­corded to the multiple tracks at the same time. In such cases, the last track you select is designated for the R1 part recording.
• When you insert an com­mercially available song disk and try to record and overwrite one of the song files which is not write­protected, “Convert NO/ YES” will appear and the recording will not be initi­ated. If you select “YES” to execute recording, “Don’t remove the disk” appears and the PSR­730/630 starts converting the selected song’s format to the PortaTone’s. After completing the conver­sion, Record-ready mode is engaged to indicate re­cording becomes pos­sible.

About the Recording with the Digital Effects Applied

Only one type of each of the Digital Effects, Reverb, Chor us, DSP and Multi Effect (PSR-730) can be set at one time. Be aware of the following facts, especially when recording a song with different effects applied to the different trac ks.
Reverb type and Chorus type effects can be set and recorded independently for
A
each of the 16 tracks. However, only the latest settings made (one each) will be effective if several effects are used in a song (the latest setting priority).
[EX.] While the panel REVERB button is turned on:
1. Select the Hall 1 (Reverb) f or the Accompaniment trac k, and record the Accompa­niment track for ten measures from the beginning.
2. Start recording the keyboard (R1) track with the Hall 1 (Re verb) selected from the beginning and then change the effect type to Room 1 (Reverb) respectively from the fifth measure through the end.
When you play back the song recorded as above, the first four measures will be played back with the Hall 1 applied to both the Accompaniment track and keyboard (R1) track, and the remaining six measures, from fifth through the end, with the Room 1 applied to both tracks. The effect types set for the Accompani­ment track are replaced with the latest settings. Only the Depth for each track remains the same.
90
DSP type effects can be set and recorded for R1/R2/L part(s) when used as System
B
effect and for R1 part when used as Insertion effect. They can’ t be recorded for the track used as the Accompaniment and/or Harmon y part. During playback, only the latest setting will be effective if se v eral types are used for the tracks in a song (the latest setting priority).
[EX.]
1. Turn on the panel DSP button, and start recording on the track 1 with the Distortion (DSP type: No.42 Dist.Hard) selected for ten measures from the beginning.
2. Turn off the panel DSP button, and start recording on the track 2 without any eff ect from the beginning. Then turn on the panel DSP button again at the fifth measure , and continue recording to the end with the Rotary Speaker (DSP type: No .28 Rotary SP.1) selected.
When you play back the song recorded with the above condition, the first four measures will be played back with the Distortion applied only to track 1, and the remaining six measures, from the fifth through the end, with the Rotary Speaker applied only to track 2. The DSP type set for track 1 is replaced by the one set for the track 2.
Song Recording
(PSR-730)
C
Multi effects can be set and recorded for R1/R2/L part(s). They can’ t be recorded for the track used as the Accompaniment and/or Har mony part. During playback, only the latest setting will be effective if several types are used for the tracks in a song (the latest setting priority).
[EX.] Two Multi Effect types set in series for R1
1. Multi Effect is turned on and 10 measures are recorded for R1 on track 1.
2. Recording is started for R1 on track 2 with Multi eff ect off, and then it is turned on at the fifth measure.
When you play back the song recorded with the above conditions, the first four measures will be played back with the Multi Effect applied only to track 1, and the remaining six measures, from the fifth through the end, with Multi Effect applied only to track 2.

Style Recording

The PSR-730/630 lets you record up to three original “user styles” which can be used f or auto­accompaniment in the same way as the preset styles . The user styles are recorded as style numbers 101, 102, 103, and 104, and each style can be recorded with the full complement of 8 tracks (RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, PHRASE 2) and 5 sections (INTRO, MAIN A, MAIN B, ENDING, FILL).
• Material recorded on the STYLE tracks will be retained even after turning the power off. See page 152 for the details.
• The recorded data will be lost if the power is turned off, the AC adaptor is unplugged, or the batteries fail during recording.
• The REGISTRATION MEMORY cannot be recalled during style recording.
• The Shortcut functions are not available when one of the Record modes is engaged.
The STYLE tracks record the following operations and data:
• Note on/off.
• Velocity.
• Voice number (drum kit n umber).*
• Pitch bend.
Only one event of the item marked with * can be recorded for each track of the sections.

Style Recording Procedure

Select a Style To Begin With
1
Select the style from one of the 100 presets that is closest to the type of style you want to create. You will use this style as a starting point for the user style you will create.
Example 1) When you want to create a user style with 8 beats in 4/4 time, select style number 001 “8 Beat Pop.”
p18Beat Po
001
Example 2) When you w ant to create a user style with 3/4 waltz time, select user style 099 “Vien. Waltz.”
ltzVien. Wa
• Up to approximately 1,980 notes for a section (totally ca. 5,940 notes) can be recorded in the PSR-730/630 STYLE tracks.
• If none of the preset styles is appropriate, select one that has the same time sig­nature and number of mea­sures as the one you want to create, then use the “All Clear” function (page 105) to clear all preset data be­fore entering your own.
• If you select a blank user style to begin with (101 …
104), the style will be in 4/4 time and all sections except FILL will be 2 measures long. FILL will be 1 mea­sure long.
