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.

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

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.

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.

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.

◆ Accompaniment T rack Muting
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.

RHYTHM 1 & 2These are the main rhythm tracks. The RHYTHM
tracks produce the drum and percussion sounds.
BASSThe BASS track always plays a bass line, but the
voice will change to fit the selected style … acoustic
bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.
CHORD 1 & 2These tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accom-
paniment required by each style. You’ll find guitar,
piano, and other chordal instruments here.
P ADThis track plays long chords where necessary , using
sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir.
PHRASE 1 & 2This 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.
◆ The Synchro Stop Function
When the Synchro Stop function is engaged, accompaniment playback will stop

gered1de:FinFingerMo
The Fingered 1 mode lets you finger your own chords on the AUTO ACCOMP ANIMENT section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of and including the splitpoint key — normally 54) while the PSR-730/630 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment in the selected style.
The FINGERED 1 mode recognizes the following chords:
• 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:

5, 6, m6,
m7, m7

1+2+5.
• 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

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.

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.

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 digital equalizer adjusts the gain (amplitude change) in each of the 5 frequency
bands within a range of -12 to 0 to +12 decibels [dB]. T ry listening to each of the fi ve
preset equalizer settings and compare them.
Using the Digital Equalizer (PSR-730)
If you press the [DIGITAL EQ] button, the DIGITAL EQ icon will light up, and
the Digital EQ effect will be turned on. After setting the Digital EQ type, the equalizer
effect will be applied to the overall output of the PSR-730.
• The range of each frequency band can be
changed by transmitting the system exclusive message from an
external MIDI device
to the PSR-730/630
(see page 156).

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.

■ 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

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

In the same way as steps 1–3 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.

• 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

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
