Page 4

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the

Yamaha Entertainment Station PSR-K1!

Please read this owner’s manual carefully before using the instrument,

in order to take full advantage of its various features.

Make sure to keep this manual in a safe and handy place even after you ﬁnish reading,

and refer to it often when you need to better understand an operation or function.

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-5D 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.

PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Battery

• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may have sudden drops of power when battery power becomes low, possibly resulting in loss of data in the SmartMedia™ card and the need to re-format the card.

• 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.

(4)-8 1/2

Page 5

• 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.

Location

• 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 in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise.

• 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.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

Connections

• 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. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Handling caution

• Do not insert a ﬁnger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber 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.

• 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.

• Make sure to keep removable parts of the instrument (such as the microphone holder cap and the microphone holder screw) away from small children.

Saving data

Saving and backing up your data

• Internal data is lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to a SmartMedia Card (Memory Card) (see page 84).

Backing up the SmartMedia™ Card (Memory Card)

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two SmartMedia Cards (Memory Cards).

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.

When using a power adaptor, even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still ﬂowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is afﬁxed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level.

XGlite

As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simpliﬁed version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone generation format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting computers with peripheral devices. Advantages of USB include its speed, convenience and wide use, as well as its “hot swapping” capability, which allows connection/disconnection while the power to the computer is on.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and openended expandability for the future. The instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle containing lyric data is played.

Included accessories

The PSR-K1 package includes the following items. Please check that you have them all.

• Music rest • Microphone

• Microphone holder cap (spare) • Accessory CD-ROM

• SmartMedia™ card (Memory card) • Owner’s Manual (this book)

* SmartMedia is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation

● About the included CD-ROM

The included CD-ROM features some utility software programs for use with the instrument. These include Song Filer, which allows you to transmit data from a computer to a SmartMedia card inserted in your PSR-K1, and the USB driver, which enables data communication to the computer via USB.

Main features of the PSR-K1

The PSR-K1 is much more than just a keyboard—it provides a wealth of advanced, convenient performance features that make it possible for anyone to easily perform and sing along with. As its name says, it truly is an Entertainment Station!

■ Performance assistant technology.............................................................. page 18

Play back a song and play the keyboard along with it—the song sounds perfect, even if you play the wrong notes! Performance assistant automatically assigns the “right” notes to the keys, and automatically changes with the progression of the song, so that whatever you play sounds professional—even if you play with the plans of your hands!

■ Sing along Karaoke-style with the Lyric Display........................................ page 22

Lyrics to the song can be shown in the large LCD, and the words are even highlighted one-by-one as the song plays. Use the included microphone, and you’ve got an all-in-one instrument for singing and performing with. Naturally, you can apply echo to your voice and freely change the song tempo.

* For lyrics to be displayed, the song must contain lyric data.

■ Easy performance with the built-in music notation display ...................... page 25

Simply play back a selected song, and the written notes are automatically displayed, with a moving marker showing you the position as the song plays. This makes it easier than ever to read music. Plus, for songs containing chord/lyric data, the chords and lyrics are displayed along with the notes—letting you read the music, play and sing all at the same time.

* For lyrics and chords to be displayed, the song must contain the appropriate data.

■ Create your own song library on SmartMedia cards ................................. page 62

This instrument uses SmartMedia cards for storing data—meaning you can save all your original songs and important panel settings to a convenient card. SmartMedia cards are also ideal for use with your computer, letting you easily download and save songs from the Internet (using the included Song Filer software) and play them on the instrument.

■ Exceptionally easy connection to computer .............................................. page 67

With just a single USB cable, you easily and instantly can use the instrument with your computer—and transmit performance information and operation data (in MIDI format) between the two devices. (Cable not included.)

■ Learning music is fun—

with Lesson features and Chord Dictionary....................................... pages 34, 50

The Lesson features make practicing songs enjoyable—whatever the music style. Practice each hand separately in three successive steps along with the accompaniment, then move on to mastering the piece with both hands. The instrument even tells you how well you did each lesson. What’s more, there’s a special Chord Dictionary that teaches you chords and shows you how to play them.

■ Custom arrange your songs ........................................................................ page 57

With the new and exciting Easy Song Arranger feature, you can easily change the feel of a song by applying your favorite accompaniment styles—turning a ballad into a hip hop tune, or giving an R&B song a reggae feel!

■ Exceptionally realistic, high-quality sound................................................. page 26

Enjoy your performance even more with the authentic, natural-sounding instrument voices—created with the latest AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) technology. Plus, you can hear these dynamic voices with all their power and impact with the built-in two-way speaker system and an enhanced low-end with the Bass Boost feature.

■ Touch Response............................................................................................ page 43

With three different types of sensitivity, this feature gives you maximum expressive control over the level of the voices by your playing strength, letting you perform your music with all its subtle nuances.

Setting Up

• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed.

NOTE

Make sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.

Power Requirements

Although the instrument 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

 Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument

is set to STANDBY.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5D 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 instrument.

 Connect the AC adaptor (PA-5D, or other adaptor speciﬁcally

recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.

 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.

■ Using Batteries

 Open the battery compartment cover located on the instru-

ment’s bottom panel.

 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polar-

ity markings on the inside of the compartment.

 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks

ﬁrmly in place.

PA-5D

AC outlet

For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, a “LOW BATTERY!!” message ﬂashes in the upper right of the display. As soon as this message appears, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see pages 84 and 63), since all User songs and custom panel settings are lost when the batteries are removed.

• Make sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, ﬁre and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals.

• 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 man-

ganese) 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.

• Keep in mind that when battery power becomes low, the instrument sounds may revert to their initial settings and the User song data and panel settings may be lost, especially if you play the instrument in this condition at a high volume. If you intend on using batteries, make sure to save your data regularly and often to a SmartMedia card.

PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Page 11

■ Using SmartMedia™ cards (memory cards)

Be sure to handle SmartMedia cards with care. Follow the important precautions below.

● Inserting/Removing SmartMedia cards

Inser

ting a SmartMedia card

With the gold-plated contact side facing down, insert the SmartMedia card ﬁrmly but carefully into the card slot, as far as it will go. Be careful not to insert the card upside down or back side in. Also, do not insert anything else into the slot, other than a proper SmartMedia card.

Removing a SmartMedia card

Before removing the SmartMedia card, be sure to conﬁrm that the SmartMedia card is not in use, or it is not being accessed by the instrument. Then pull the SmartMedia card out slowly by hand. If the SmartMedia card is being accessed*, a message indicating that it is in use appears on the instrument’s display.

* This includes all save, load, format, delete and create direc-

tory operations for the SmartMedia card. Also, be aware that the instrument will automatically access the SmartMedia card to check the media type when it is inserted while the instrument is turned on.

• Never attempt to remove the SmartMedia card or turn the power off during accessing. Doing so can damage the data on the instrument/SmartMedia card and possibly the SmartMedia card itself.

● Formatting SmartMedia cards

Before using a SmartMedia card with your instrument it must ﬁrst be formatted. (However, do NOT format the included SmartMedia card; this has already been formatted for use. Formatting it will delete all data on it.) Once it is formatted all data on it will be erased. Make sure that no important data is contained on the card beforehand.

NOTE

• The SmartMedia cards formatted with this instrument may become unusable with other instruments or devices.

● About the SmartMedia cards

Handle Smar

tMedia cards with care!

• SmartMedia cards are very sensitive and can be damaged by static electricity. Before handling a SmartMedia card, make sure to discharge any static electricity in your body by touching something made of metal, such as a door knob or aluminum blinds.

• Be sure to remove the SmartMedia card from the card slot when it is not in use for a long time.

• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids.

• Do not place heavy objects on a SmartMedia card or bend or apply pressure to the SmartMedia card in any way.

• Never touch the gold-plated contact with your ﬁngers or let it come in contact with any other metallic or hard surface.

• Do not expose the SmartMedia card to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on the SmartMedia card, rendering it unreadable.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a SmartMedia card. Also make sure that labels are attached only in the proper location.

Protecting your data (write-protect)

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect seal (provided with the SmartMedia card) to the circle spot indicated on the card. If you are saving data to the card, make sure to remove write-protect seal. Do not reuse a seal that has been removed; it may not stick properly to the card and could come off in the slot.

● Data Backup

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you keep two copies of important data on separate SmartMedia cards. This gives you a backup if one SmartMedia card is lost or damaged.

• Keep in mind that accidental power interruptions while the SmartMedia card is being accessed can result in damage and irrecoverable loss of data. For this reason, you should regularly save your important data.

Inserting the SmartMedia card

BEFORE you turn on the power of this instrument, make sure to properly insert the included SmartMedia card in the card slot on the rear panel.

* This instrument uses SmartMedia™ (3.3V) memory cards.

• All data residing in the internal memory of the PSR-K1 such as User songs (songs #101 – 105), a User style (style #136), Registration Memory settings (banks #1 – 8), and panel settings will be lost when turning the power off. Because of this, make sure to insert a SmartMedia card as backup media to the CARD slot on the rear panel before turning the power on and use the card to save your important data.

Setting up the included microphone

Also included with the instrument is a microphone, letting you enjoy karaoke sing-alongs while playing back the songs, or for singing and playing at the same time.

■ Connecting the microphone

Before turning on the power of this instrument, connect the plug of the included microphone to the MIC jack on the rear panel.

NOTE

• To avoid loud pops and sudden noise, turn the volume of the microphone all the way down by turning the [MIC VOLUME] control to the left. Also, set the microphone switch to OFF.

• Be careful not to insert or pull out the SmartMedia card while the power is turned on. Doing so may result in damage to the SmartMedia card and the internal data. Make sure to insert and pull out the SmartMedia card only when the power is off.

Make sure to read the section “Using SmartMedia™ cards (memory cards)” on page 11 for more important information on the SmartMedia card.

■ Moving the Microphone Holder

The microphone holder can be installed on either side of the instrument. If you remove the holder, put the spare microphone holder cap in the hole.

PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Page 13

■ Precautions concerning the microphone and microphone holder

NOTE

Avoid leaning or putting any weight on the microphone holder. Doing so may damage the holder and the connected microphone.

• When removing the microphone, pull it out of the handle toward you (as shown).

• Do not pull on the microphone cable, or put anything on the microphone when it is connected.

• Do not put any other microphones or anything other than the included microphone in the microphone holder.

• Do not stand the instrument on its microphone holder side.

The microphone is equipped with an on/off switch. Make sure to leave it off when not in use.

• If you insert the microphone with the switch side sliding past the handle, the switch may inadvertently be turned on. Put the microphone in the holder so that the switch slides into the space of the holder clasp (as shown).

NOTE

If feedback occurs when using the microphone, turn down the [MICVOLUME].

Avoid placing the microphone in close proximity to the speakers, especially with the microphone facing the speaker. This can cause feedback.

• Feedback occurs when a microphone picks up the sound of a speaker, which is then ampliﬁed and sent back to the speaker, creating an endless loop of high-pitched noise.

Setting Up

• Do not force the microphone when installing and do not shake it or subject it to sudden, violent movement.

Do not swing the microphone by the microphone cable. In addition to being dangerous to anyone near you, it can also damage the cable and cut off the circuit.

Make sure to take the microphone out of its holder when you carry the instrument. Also, when putting the instrument in a soft case, make sure to take off the microphone holder.

Do not lift the instrument by grabbing the microphone and its holder.

PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Page 14

Setting Up

Make all necessary connections below before turning the power on.

Connecting headphones (PHONES jack)

Headphones are connected to the PHONES jack. Connecting headphones to the jack automatically cuts off the sound coming through the internal speakers.

The PHONES jack also can be used as a auxiliary stereo output (with a standard stereo phone plug). By connecting this to the input of a keyboard ampliﬁer, mixing console or tape recorder, you can play the sound and record your performance through the external equipment.

• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.

• 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 gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

Connecting a foot switch (SUSTAIN jack)

This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the voices.

NOTE

• 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.

Connecting to a computer (USB terminal)

Connecting to external audio devices (OUTPUT R, L terminal)

INPUT

The instrument is equipped with OUTPUT R, L jacks (mono pin plug). By connecting this to the input of a keyboard ampliﬁer, mixing console or tape recorder, you can play the sound and record your performance through the external equipment.

PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

By connecting the USB terminal of this device to the USB terminal of a computer, you can transfer performance data and song ﬁles between the devices. (See page 67.)

For example, the Song Filer software (included on the CDROM) lets you copy songs on your computer to SmartMedia card for use on the instrument. (Keep in mind that Song Filer cannot be used to transmit data from the PSR-K1 to a com puter. Also, when you download songs to SmartMedia card, make sure that the write-protect seal is not afﬁxed to the card.)

To use the USB features, you’ll need to ﬁrst install the USBMIDI Driver to your computer.

NOTE

• Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store.

Page 15

Setting Up

Insert the music rest into the slots as shown.

Turn on the power

Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Pressing the switch again turns the power off.

Backup data in the SmartMedia card (page 84) is loaded to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no SmartMedia card is inserted or if no backup data exists on teh card, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is turned on.

NOTE

• To disable automatic loading of SmartMedia card backup data, simultaneously hold down the highest white key on the keyboard (C6) and turn on the power. This allows you start the instrument with the default settings yet still use the SmartMedia card.

● Music rest

• 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 instrument 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.

• Never attempt to turn the power off when a “WRITING!” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the SmartMedia card and result in loss of data.

Quick Guide

This new instrument has an amazing feature we call the performance assistant. It lets you can easily and instantly sound like a professional keyboard player, even if you’ve never played a note in your life! No previous musical experience required... Try it out now!

Play like a pro!

Playing the Demo Song

Let’s start this tour by listening to the Demo Song. It gives you a sampling of the gorgeous voices and advanced functions of this instrument—and at the same time lets you try out the performance assistant.

1 Start the Demo Song by pressing the [DEMO] button.

The Demo Song starts. Adjust the volume with the [MASTER VOLUME] control. Performance assistant is automatically turned on when the Demo Song plays. (The [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button lights.)

Adjust the volume.

Performance assistant is on during playback of the Demo Song.

2 Play the keyboard.

Don’t worry if you don’t know what to play. Simply play any keys with both of your hands—like a pianist would—along with the Demo Song.

Amazing, isn’t it? And no wrong notes! This is the magic of the new performance assistant. It reads the chord and harmonic data of the song and makes sure that only appropriate notes are assigned to the keys—so anything you play will sound “right.” Even if you play the same key in succession, the actual pitch may change. This is because the assigned pitch will change automatically along with the chord changes. This is also true for the lower keys you play with your left hand. Try playing several keys simultaneously with your right hand, and notice the perfect sounding chord that results. But performance assistant goes way beyond that—it even changes the sound according to the way you play. Try playing in the three different ways below.

● Playing the left and right hand together (method 1).

Play three notes at the same time with your right hand.

Did you notice how the sounds changed depending on how you played? As you can see, performance assistant is an intelligent feature that checks how play the keyboard and makes the appropriate performance adjustments—automatically! Try it out, playing different songs and using different playing methods.

Look, Ma… No wrong notes!

● Playing the left and right hand together (method 2).

Play several notes one after the other with different ﬁngers of your right hand.

● Playing the left hand and right hand alternately.

Play three notes at the same time with your right hand.

3 Stop the Demo Song by pressing the [START/STOP] button.

Now that you’ve played the Demo Song, try out the performance assistant feature with the internal songs.

Style Functions

In the section “Try out the Style” (page 30) of the Quick Guide, we introduced you to the basic operations of the auto accompaniment styles. Here, we’ll explain some interesting and useful ways of sounding the styles, and ways to adjust the accompaniment level and the chords.

Sounding only the percussion

You can have just the percussion parts of the accompaniment play by pressing the [ACMP ON/OFF] button—so that auto accompaniment is OFF (the ACMP display is unlit)—and starting the style. Playing the keyboard sounds the Main Voice with no bass or chord sounds, even when playing in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.

The ACMP display goes out.

Stop Accompaniment function

When auto accompaniment is turned on (the ACMP display is lit) and Synchro Start is off (the [START/STOP] button does not ﬂash), you can play chords in the left-hand (accompaniment) section of the keyboard with the style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition — called “Stop Accompaniment” — any valid chord ﬁngerings (page 48) are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the LCD. Since the PSR-K1 properly recognizes the chord, you can also use the Harmony effect (page

44) without having to play back a style.

NOTE

• The explanations here are applicable only when the [STYLE] button is turned on.

• The special Pianist styles do not have any percussion parts.

NOTE

• The explanations here are applicable only when the [STYLE] button is turned on.

Setting the Style Volume

 Enter the FUNCTION display by pressing the [FUNCTION] button and call up the

Style Volume page by using the CATEGORY buttons [ ]/[ ].

 Set the style volume (range: 000 – 127).

Using external Style Files

Style number 136 is specially reserved for use with external Style Files, designated with the “.sty” ﬁle extension. Save the desired Style File to SmartMedia card using a computer (with an appropriate SmartMedia reader/writer) and load the Style File from the SmartMedia card to style number 136 on the instrument. For details, see page 63.

NOTE

• The explanations here are applicable only when the [STYLE] button is turned on.

Playing accompaniment chords

There are two basic ways of playing chords for the accompaniment: Single Finger and Fingered. This instrument uses a sophisticated function called Multi Fingering, which automatically recognizes the chord played, no matter which way of ﬁngering you use.

• Single Finger.........................................Simple chord indications

• Fingered ................................................Conventionally played chords

The key range left of the Split Point (default setting: 54 or F#2) is referred to as the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. When using accompaniment, play the chords in this range.

Split Point (default setting: 54 or F#2)

■ Single Finger

This method lets you easily play major, minor, seventh and minor seventh chords in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard by using three ﬁngers or less.

● How to play Single Finger chords

• To play a major chord

Press the root note of the chord.

• To play a minor chord

Press the root note together with the nearest black key to the left of it.

Cm7

• To play a seventh chord

Press the root note together with the nearest white key to the left of it.

• To play a minor seventh chord

Press the root note together with the nearest white and black keys to the left of it (three keys altogether).

NOTE

• The explanations here are applicable only when the [STYLE] button is turned on.

NOTE

• The Split Point can be changed. (See page 42.)

NOTE

• 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 fol-

lowing exceptions:

m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), sus2.

• 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 seventh).

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

• It may occur that the chord name indication shown in the MAIN display may not match that of the song data, even though the actual note/ chord is the same. For example, a C# chord may actually be indicated as Db.

Dictionary

The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in “chord book” that shows you the individual notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want to quickly learn how to play it.

 Press the [DICTIONARY] button. The Dictionary display appears.

 As an example, we’ll learn how to play a GM7 (G major seventh) chord. Press the

“G” key in the section of the keyboard labeled “CHORD ROOT.” (The note doesn’t sound.) The root note you set is shown in the display.

 Press the “M7” (major seventh) key in the section of the keyboard labeled

“CHORD TYPE.” (The note doesn’t sound.) The notes you should play for the speciﬁed chord (root note and chord type) is shown in the display, both as notation and in the keyboard diagram.

To call up possible inversions of the chord, press the [+]/[–] buttons.

 Try playing a chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard, checking

the indications in the display. When you’ve played the chord properly, a bell sound signals your success and the chord name in the display is highlighted.

NOTE

• About major chords :

Simple major chords are usually indicated only by the root note. For example, “C” refers to C major. However, when specifying major chords here, make sure to select “M” (major) after pressing the root note.

■ About chords

Playing two or more notes together simultaneously creates a “chord.”

Playing a note together with two other notes spaced three notes (steps) apart — such as the notes C, E and G — creates a harmonious sound. Chords like these are called “triads” and they play an important role in most music.

Taking the chord above as an example, the lowest note of this triad is called the “root note.” This is the central note sound, and it supports or anchors the rest of the notes chord. You’ll notice that the middle note of the chord above (E) is the third step in the succession of scale notes — C, D, then E. There are two types of “thirds” in chords: major thirds and minor thirds.

Major third — four half steps from the root Minor third — three half steps from the root

We’ll also alter the top note of our original chord and make three additional chords, as shown below. (The captions indicate the intervals between each of the notes.)

Major chord Minor chord Augmented chord Diminished chord

CM Cm Caug Cdim

Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd

The basic characteristics of the chord sound are same, no matter if we change the order of the notes from bottom to top, or if we add other same name notes in different octaves. Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner, and emotional music can be created by playing different chords one after the other according to commonly accepted rules. Harmony determines the nature of chords, and music is created based on harmony.

● Chord names

From the chord name, you can tell at a glance what type of chord it is and which notes make up the chord. Understanding the basic structure of chords is very useful—once you’re familiar with this, you’ll be quickly and easily play chords by looking at the names that appear above the notation.

To turn a track on or off, use the buttons in the SONG MEMORY section: [1] – [5], [A]. Playback of the track is muted when the track is set to off, and the box around the track number goes out.

Indicates the track has no data.

Indicates the track is off (muted).

Indicates the track is on.

Song tracks are organized as follows.

• Tracks [1] – [5] ............Track 1 contains the melody of the right hand performance (MEL-

ODY R), and Track 2 contains the melody of the left hand performance (MELODY L). Tracks 3 – 5 contain a variety of backing parts, depending on the selected song.

• Track [A]......................Contains the accompaniment part.

Making your own song arrangements

(Easy Song Arranger)

Easy Song Arranger is an exciting new feature that lets you easily change the feel of a song by applying your favorite accompaniment styles. For example, you could spice up a ballad by giving it a house arrangement, or transform a jazz standard into a hip-hop tune. Naturally, you can also have the lyrics displayed.

About Easy Song Arranger

• Easy Song Arranger automatically plays the accompaniment by reading the chords

in the song data and translating that into chord data for the accompaniment features. The Melody Left and Right parts of the song play from Tracks 1 and 2.

• Both the song and accompaniment play simultaneously while Easy Song Arranger

is used.

•When the time signature (beat) of the accompaniment does not match that of the

song, the time signature of the song takes precedence.

• The voices used for your keyboard performance and the melody of the song can be

freely changed from the MAIN, MELODY L and MELODY R settings in the VOICE section.

• The Easy Song Arranger settings (Style Number, Melody Voice) can be saved to

SmartMedia card.

• Channels 1 - 5 are assigned to Tracks 1 - 5, respectively. Channels 6 - 8 are

assigned to Track A, and channels 9 - 16 are not used (ignored). For the initial settings, Tracks 1 and 2 are set to ON, while Tracks 3 - 5 and A are set to OFF (muted).

About MIDI

Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today—particularly synthesizers, sequencers and computer music related devices—use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide standard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Naturally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as well as that of the songs, styles and panel settings.

The potential MIDI holds for your live performance and music creation/production is enormous—simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI data. In this section, you’ll learn the basics of MIDI and the particular MIDI functions of this instrument.

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

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.

Tone Generator

(Electronic circuit)

Playing the keyboard

Sampling

Note

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 instrument. 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) 1 (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)

Your keyboard performance and all panel operations of this instrument are processed as MIDI data. The songs, auto accompaniment (styles), and User songs are also made up of MIDI data. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and it allows different musical instruments and devices to instantly communicate with each other, via digital data. The MIDI standard is used all over the world and was designed to transmit performance data between electronic musical instruments (or computers). Thanks to MIDI, you can control one instrument from another and transmit performance data between the devices-taking your creative and performance potential to even higher levels.

MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages.

PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Page 67

About MIDI

● Channel Messages

This instrument is capable of handling 16 MIDI channels simultaneously—meaning it can play up to sixteen different instruments at the same time. Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels.

Message Name Instrument Operation/Panel Setting

Note ON/OFF Performance data of the keyboard (contains note number and velocity data) Program Change Instrument selection (including bank select MSB/LSB, if necessary) Control Change Instrument settings (volume, pan, 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 Instrument Operation/Panel Setting

Exclusive Message Reverb/chorus/DSP settings, etc. Realtime Messages Start/stop operation

The messages transmitted/received by the instrument are shown in the MIDI Implementation Chart on page 94.

Connecting to a computer

Connecting this instrument to a computer enables a wide range of powerful and useful musical possibilties. You can transfer MIDI data back and forth with your computer for music recording/playback, and with the special Song Filer software (contained in the included CD-ROM), you can copy data from your computer to SmartMedia card. Connect one end of a USB cable to the USB terminal on the rear panel of this instrument, and the other end to the USB terminal on your computer. You’ll also need to install the USB-MIDI driver (also in the included CD-ROM) to your computer. For details, see the “Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide” on page 71. (Keep in mind that Song Filer cannot be used to transmit data from the PSR-K1 to a computer. Also, when you download songs to SmartMedia card, make sure that the write-protect seal is not afﬁxed to the card.)

NOTE

• You will not be able to access the instrument

USB cable

PSR-K1

• Precautions concerning USB

Do NOT turn the power on/off or connect/disconnect the USB cable in any of the following conditions. Doing so may cause the computer to hang up or freeze, stop the current operation or function in the musical instrument, and/or result in all data in the SmartMedia card being lost.

• While the device is being recognized or while the driver is being loaded • While starting or stopping the operating system

• While the computer is in stand-by mode or hibernating • While a MIDI application is operating

• While data is being transferred

Also, make sure to avoid the following. Problems such as those mentioned above may occur.

• Turning the power on/off too often, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too frequently

• Changing to a power-save mode or resuming from stand-by while transferring MIDI data

• Connecting or disconnecting the cable while the power of the musical instrument is on

• Turning the power on or off, starting the computer, or installing the driver while data is being transferred

with Song Filer in the following situations:

MIDI settings

These settings determine how the instrument sends, receives and responds to MIDI data.

■ Local ON/OFF (Local)

This determines whether the internal tone generator sounds (ON) or not when you play the keyboard.

• ON (Local ON) ........... The normal performance condition; playing the keyboard plays the voices

of the instrument.

• OFF (Local OFF) ........ In this condition, playing the keyboard has no effect on the voices, harmony

or accompaniment of the instrument. However, your keyboard performance is transmitted as MIDI data via the USB connection, and the instrument responds to data received via the USB connection.

Local ON/OFF can be set from the Local page of the FUNCTION display. (See page 79.)

• When a style is playing

• When a song is playing

• From the File Control display

• If a SmartMedia card is not inserted

NOTE

• If you can’t get any sound out of the instrument, this may be the most likely cause. Playing the keyboard results in no sound when Local is set to OFF.

PSR-K1 Owner’s Manual

Page 68

About MIDI

■ External Clock ON/OFF (External Clock)

This determines whether the instrument is synchronized to its own internal clock (OFF) or by an external clock signal (ON).

• ON (external clock)..... Song and style playback synchronize to clock signals received from

the external device connected to the USB terminal.

• OFF (internal clock).... Song and style playback synchronize to the internal clock (normal

operation).

External Clock ON/OFF can be set from the External Clock page of the FUNCTION display. (See page 79.)

■ Initial Setup Send (Initial Send)

This function transmits the panel settings of this instrument to a computer. This is particularly useful when recording to a sequencer, since it lets you record an initial setup message at the start of a song. In this way, when you play back the song, the instrument receives the message and automatically reconﬁgures the panel settings to those made when recording. Initial Setup Send can be set from the Initial Send page of the FUNCTION display. (See page 79.)

NOTE

• If external clock is set to ON, songs and styles will not start unless external clock signals are received.

■ Keyboard ON/OFF (KeyboardOut)

This determines whether performance data of the instrument’s keyboard is sent via the USB connection (ON) or not. Keyboard Out ON/OFF can be set from the KeyboardOut page of the FUNCTION display. (See page 79.)

■ Style Out ON/OFF (StyleOut)

This determines whether accompaniment style data of the instrument is sent via the USB connection (ON) or not, during style playback. Style Out ON/OFF can be set from the StyleOut page of the FUNCTION display. (See page 79.)

■ Song Out ON/OFF (SongOut)

This determines whether song data of the instrument is sent via the USB connection (ON) or not, during song playback. Song Out ON/OFF can be set from the SongOut page of the FUNCTION display. (See page 79.)

LSB Receive Cancel

This “hidden” function sets the instrument to ignore incoming bank select LSB messages. To enable this function, simultaneously hold down the lowest C key on the keyboard and turn on the power with the [STANDBY/ON] switch.

NOTE

• When SongOut (below) is set to ON, style data is always sent during song playback, even if StyleOut is set to OFF.

This setting is temporary. The instrument returns to the original condition when the power is turned on again.

About MIDI

Downloading song data

If you’ve downloaded song ﬁles from the Internet to your computer or used your computer to create your own songs, you can load them to this instrument and save the to SmartMedia card for future use. In this way, virtually any song ﬁle can be used with the versatile functions of the instrument—Karaoke, performance assistant, Easy Song Arranger and Lesson. In order to transfer song ﬁles between the instrument and a computer, you’ll need to install both the Song Filer software and the USB-MIDI driver (contained in the included CD-ROM). For details on installing the software, see the “Accessory CD-ROM Installation Guide” on page 71. (Keep in mind that Song Filer cannot be used to transmit data from the PSR-K1 to a computer. Also, when you download songs to SmartMedia card, make sure that the write-protect seal is not afﬁxed to the card.)

Data transmission limitations

• Maximum number of songs : 894 (song numbers 106 – 999)

• Maximum amount of data : Depends on the capacity of the SmartMedia card

• Data format : SMF Format 0 (Format 1 ﬁles are automatically converted to Format 0.)

■ Using the Song Filer

 After installing Song Filer and the USB-MIDI driver to your computer, connect the

instrument and computer with a USB cable. (See page 67.)

 Insert a SmartMedia card to the instrument and turn the power on.  Start the Song Filer program on your computer.  Song ﬁles (of SMF Format 0) contained in the SmartMedia card are shown in the

display. Song Filer allows you to transfer song ﬁles between your computer and the instrument, as well as manage your ﬁles on the instrument, deleting and renaming as needed.

For details on using Song Filer, refer to the electronic manual (PDF ﬁle) included with the software.

• Never attempt to turn the power off while transmitting data. Doing so will not only result in failure to save the data, but also make the SmartMedia card memory unstable and result in loss of all data in memory.

• Saved data in the instrument may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Make sure to save any important data to the computer.

• It is strongly suggested that you use the AC adaptor when executing data transfer operations. Low battery power during data transfer could result in damage or loss of the data.

Using downloaded songs with the Lesson and notation features

To use the Lesson features with songs you’ve downloaded, you’ll need to specify beforehand which tracks are to be used as guides for the right- and left-hand parts. Do this from the R-part and L-part pages in the FUNCTION display (page 79). The guide tracks set here will also be displayed in music notation (page 25).

Troubleshooting

■ For the PSR-K1

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument 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 instrument may pro-

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

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

• The volume is too soft.

• The sound quality is poor.

• The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.

• The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play correctly.

• The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset.

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.

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.

duce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument.

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. (See page 67.)

When using the Dictionary function (page 50), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely new ones, or use the included AC adaptor.

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

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on page 68.

The style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 47) is set to an appropriate

level.

Is the Split Point setting inappropriate for chord play? Set the Split Point to the proper position; refer to “Setting the Split Point” on page 42.

When playing back one of the Pianist styles (#124 – #135), the rhythm cannot be heard.

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut 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 Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or there are Japanese characters in the display messages.

This is normal. The Pianist styles have no drums or bass — only piano accompaniment.

The instrument 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.

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.

This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note.

Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to English. (See page 79.)

Saving backup data to SmartMedia card

The panel settings of this instrument are reset to their original default settings every time you turn power off and on again, which means your original settings are lost. However, with a SmartMedia card, you can save your custom panel settings for recall by holding down the [FUNCTION] button. The next time you turn the power on (with the proper SmartMedia card inserted), all your custom settings are reloaded to the instrument. Please keep in mind that turning the power on automatically will reset the panel settings to the original default settings if no SmartMedia card or a SmartMedia card with no data is inserted to the CARD slot.

Press and hold

NOTE

• Data cannot be saved to a SmartMedia card during song playback.

• The setting data backed up to the SmartMedia card is automatically given the same ﬁle name “PSR-K1.ENV”; saving new data always overwrites and deletes the previous data. This also deletes the Registration Memory data in the SmartMedia card.

• Do not turn off the power when a “WRITING!” message is shown. Doing so may result in loss of data on the SmartMedia card.

Voice List

• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device.

• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

NOTE

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

The instrument 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. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority).

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 “115: 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.)
