Taking Care of Your PortaTone

Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the

simple rules given below:

■ Location

Do not expose the instrument to the following

conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or

more serious damage.

• Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window).

• High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, out-

side, or in a car during the daytime).

• Excessive humidity.

• Excessive dust.

• Strong vibration.

■ Power Supply

• Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument

is not in use.

• The power cord should be unplugged from the

AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for

an extended period of time.

• Unplug the instrument during electric storms.

• Avoid plugging the instrument into the same AC

outlet as appliances with high power consump-

tion, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid

using multi-plug adaptors since these can result

in reduced sound quality and possibly damage.

■ Turn Power OFF When Making

Connections

• To avoid damage to the instrument and other

devices to which it is connected (a sound system,

for example),

turn the power switches of all re-

lated devices OFF prior to connecting or discon-

necting audio and MIDI cables.

■ Handling and Transport

• Never apply excessive force to the controls, con-

nectors or other parts of the instrument.

• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug

firmly, not by pulling on the cable.

• Disconnect all cables before moving the instru-

ment.

• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or

placing heavy objects on the instrument can re-

sult in scratches and more serious damage.

■ Cleaning

• Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.

• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove

stubborn grime and dirt.

• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.

• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instru-

ment (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).

■ Electrical Interference

• This instrument contains digital circuitry and

may cause interference if placed too close to ra-

dio or television receivers. If this occurs, move

the instrument further away from the affected

equipment.

■ Service and Modification

• The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 contains no user serv-

iceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in

anyway can lead to irreparable damage and pos-

sibly electric shock. Refer all servicing to quali-

fied YAMAHA personnel.

■ Data Backup

• Internal data (e.g. Song Memory data) is retained

in memory even if the power switch is turned off

as long as backup batteries are installed (page 5)

or the AC plug is connected. The internal

memory can, however, be corrupted by incorrect

operation. Be sure to save important data to

floppy disk frequently so you have a backup to

revert to if the data in memory is accidentally

damaged. Also note that magnetic fields can

damage data on floppy disks, so it is advisable to

make a second backup copy of disks that contain

particularly important data. Always keep backup

disks in a safe place away from stray magnetic

fields (e.g. those produced by speakers, appli-

ances containing motors, etc.). More important

precautions for floppy disk use are given in the

“Floppy Disk” section beginning on page 56.

YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

Preparation

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 and preparing to

play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-1700/PSR-2700.

■Installing the Backup Batteries

For memory backup the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 requires four 1.5V SUM-3, “AA” size, R-6 or equivalent

batteries. All PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 features will operate without these batteries installed, but song

memory and other data that is not saved to disk will be lost when then power is turned off. To prevent acci-

dental loss of data, we recommend that a set of backup batteries be installed while the instrument is in regular

use. When the backup batteries need to be replaced “Backup Battery Low” will appear on the LCD display

panel when the power is initially turned on (this also occurs if no backup batteries are installed). Try to re-

place the batteries

before they fail and the backup memory contents are lost.

■ Power Supply

After making sure that the AC mains voltage and frequency specified for your PSR-1700/PSR-2700 matches

your local power supply (check the label on the bottom panel), plug the power cord into a convenient AC outlet.

CAUTION

• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the power cord)

during any record or disk operation! Doing so can result in a loss

of data.

Z

Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom

panel.

X

Insert the four 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.

CAUTION

• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of

four new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.

• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese)

at the same time.

• To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the

batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended

period of time.

• When you replace the batteries, any backed-up data will be lost. To

avoid this, be sure to save your valuable data to a floppy disk before

replacing the batteries.

Preparation

■Using Headphones

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged into the rear-panel

HEADPHONES jack for private practice or late-night playing. The internal

speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is

plugged into the HEADPHONES jack.

HEADPHONES

■Connecting to an External Sound System

The AUX OUT L+R/L and R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-1700/

PSR-2700 for connection to an instrument amplifier, mixing console, PA

system, or recording equipment. If you will be connecting the PSR-1700/

PSR-2700 to a monophonic sound system, use only the L+R/L jack. When

a plug is inserted into the L+R/L jack only, the left- and right-channel sig-

nals are combined and delivered via the L+R/L jack so you don’t lose any

of the instrument’s sound.

R

■Using Pedals

An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch or FC7 foot controller can

be plugged into either or both of the rear-panel PEDAL jacks.

The PEDAL 1 jack is initially assigned to sustain control. A footswitch

connected to this jack functions as a damper pedal, controlling sustain.

Press the pedal to sustain notes after the keys are released.

The PEDAL 2 jack is initially assigned to the voice volume control

(MIDI Expression control). An FC7 foot controller connected to this jack

can be used to control voice volume: press the pedal forward to increase

voice volume; backward to decrease voice volume.

Both the PEDAL jacks can be assigned to a wide range of other func-

tions as described in the “Pedal Assign” section on page 72.

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a flexible-but-consistent interface that lets you edit just

about all of its parameters using the same basic procedure. Once familiar with the system,

you’ll be able to edit any parameter quickly and easily. Here’s the basic procedure:

Basic Editing Procedure

XEdit the Parameter..................................................................................................................................

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 let you edit parameters using four different

methods. Use the one that best suits the parameter you have selected:

Each time you press a function button after initially selecting the function,

the value of the corresponding parameter will be incremented (increased) by

one. If you hold the function button for a few seconds, the parameter will

begin to increment continuously as long as you hold the button.

2-1: The Function Button

If, for example, you press the [VOICE SELECT] button and LCD display

panel shows that voice number 36 (VCE=036:Fretless) is currently selected,

you can select voice number 37 (VCE=037:SlapBas1) simply by pressing the

[VOICE SELECT] button again.

● The LCD Display Panel

The PSR-2700 and PSR-1700 feature backlit LCD display panels that make

it easy to select and edit parameters as well as perform all other operations.

The PSR-2700 display has two lines of 24 characters each, while the PSR-

1700 has one line of 16 characters.

The PSR-2700 display has four sections: STYLE, VOICE,

CHORD, and PARAMETER & VALUE. The STYLE and

VOICE sections on the upper line always show the currently se-

lected accompaniment style and voice. The CHORD section on

the lower line shows the detected chord when the Auto Accompa-

niment feature is used, and the PARAMETER & VALUE section

shows the parameter and value currently selected for editing.

The PSR-1700 display always shows the parameter and value

currently selected for editing.

NOTES

• “Now Processing” may appear on the LCD display panel while the PSR-

1700/PSR-2700 is processing the data (for example recorded data) or

ready to process it.

Basic Editing Procedure

The [+] and [–] buttons can be used to increment (increase by one) or dec-

rement (decrease by one) the currently selected parameter. Press the [+] button

briefly to increment the parameter value, or the [–] button to decrement. If you

hold the [+] or [–] button down, the value will increment or decrement con-

tinuously — simply release the button when the desired value has been

reached.

2-2: The [+] and [−] Buttons

The number buttons — to the right of the [+] and [–] buttons — allow

direct numeric entry of the desired value, and are therefore the fastest way to

edit in many situations.

To select a voice, for example, choose one of the 128 voices — numbered

“01” through “128” — listed in the “Voice & Polyphony List” on page 77, then

enter its number using the number buttons. To select “Harmonica” (number

23), for example, first press [2] then [3]. The number “23” should then appear

on the LCD display panel along with the name “Harmnica”.

The [+/–] button is used to switch between positive and negative values

with parameters that allow negative values (Transpose, Tuning, Octave, and

Pan, for example). A “–” appears before negative values on the LCD display

panel.

When selecting voice numbers the [+/–] button is used to enter the hundreds

digit of the voice number (the button alternately selects no hundreds digit or

“1”), as required, prior to entering the tens and ones digits. The [1] number

button cannot be used to enter the hundreds digit when selecting voices.

Values outside the range of the selected parameter can not be entered.

2-3: The Number Buttons

This is undoubtedly the easiest way to edit most parameters. Simply rotate

the dial clockwise to increment or counter-clockwise to decrement.

2-4: The Data Dial

NOTES

• After editing a parameter other than [VOICE SELECT], the [VOICE SE-

LECT] parameter will automatically be re-selected after a brief delay.

• If you attempt to change a parameter that can not be edited in the

current mode, “IllegalOperation” will appear on the LCD display.

Some operations that change important settings or erase data may require you to

confirm your choice by pressing the [YES] or [NO] button. When a choice needs to be

confirmed the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and a digitally sampled voice will ask

“Are you sure?”. Press the [YES] button to execute the specified operation or the [NO]

button to cancel and leave the settings or data unaffected.

If you don’t want to hear the “Are you sure?” confirmation sound, hold down the [NO]

button while initially turning the power switch on. To restore the confirmation sound, turn

the power switch off, then turn it back on again while holding down the [YES] button. The

on/off status of the confirmation sound is retained in memory even when the power

switch is turned off as long as the backup batteries are installed or an AC plug is

connected.

The four available parts are turned on and off by

the [R1], [R2], [L1], and [L2] buttons. The indica-

tors next to each of these buttons tell you which

parts are on and which are off, and therefore indi-

cate the current orchestration mode. The [EDIT]

button determines which of the four orchestration

parts is to be edited. You can, for example, assign

any of the 128 voices to each of the orchestration

parts. But before we discuss voice assignment and

editing, let’s take a look at the various orchestration

modes:

In the “single” modes either the [R1] or [R2] part

voice can be played over the entire keyboard. The R1

and R2 single-voice modes are selected simply by

pressing either the [R1] or [R2] button if neither the

[L1] or [L2] indicators are lit. If the [L1] and/or [L2]

indicators are lit, press them so that both indicators

go out.

Note that when you select the [R1] or [R2] single-

voice mode, the triangular EDIT indicator for the se-

lected voice also lights. This means you can select a

different voice number or otherwise edit the current

voice using the procedures described on page 13.

■Orchestration

The unique ORCHESTRATION button group in the VOICE control section lets you select and play from one

to four “parts” at the same time using a variety of “orchestrations”. One of the 128 voices is assigned to each

part.

● Single: One voice over the entire keyboard.

● Dual: Two voices simultaneously over the entire keyboard.

● Split: Different voices with the left and right hands.

● Split & Dual: Combinations of the Split and Dual modes.

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 allow four different

split modes, with one voice played on the left-hand

section of the keyboard ([L1] or [L2]) and a different

voice on the right-hand section of the keyboard ([R1]

or [R2]). Selecting a split mode is simply a matter of

pressing the buttons corresponding to the desired

left- and right-hand parts.

The split point (i.e. the key at which the voices

change over) can be set at any desired key by using

the SPLIT POINT CHANGE function described on

page 20.

L2 voice. R1 voice.

L1 voice. R2 voice.

L2 voice. R2 voice.

● Split Modes

In the dual mode both the [R1] and [R2] part

voices are selected so they can be played simultane-

ously across the entire keyboard. To select the dual

mode, make sure that both the [L1] and [L2] indica-

tors are out, then press both the [R1] and [R2] but-

tons simultaneously (or hold one while pressing the

other).

You can switch back to either of the single modes

from the dual mode simply by pressing the [R1] or

[R2] button, as required.

There are five possible combinations of the split

and dual modes, as shown below. The part for the

single-voice side of the combination is selected sim-

ply by pressing the appropriate part button, while for

the dual-voice side both buttons must be pressed

simultaneously (or one while holding the other).

■Auto Harmony

Auto Harmony is used with the Auto Accompaniment feature (see page 24). It automatically adds appropriate

harmony notes to a single-note melody line you play on the keyboard. You can choose from 10 different types of

harmony that can be assigned to the right-hand orchestration parts.

NOTES

• The Auto Harmony feature cannot be used when Auto Accompani-

ment fingering mode 5 “Full” is selected (page 28).

This harmony type produces a duophonic melody

with the second voice below the melody line. If

you turn both the R1 and R2 voices on (DUAL

mode) the notes you play on the keyboard will be

played by the R1 voice, and the harmony notes by

the R2 voice. You can individually set the R1 and

R2 voices and voice parameters as required.

A parallel voice is produced a fifth above the

melody voice. As in the Duet type, the R1 and R2

voices can be set individually in the dual mode.

Similar to Duet, but the second voice is above the

melody line. The R1 and R2 voices can be set

individually in the dual mode.

This harmony type generates two voices in addi-

tion to the melody voice. Both of the harmony

voices are assigned to R2 in the dual mode.

Three or four notes are added to the melody to

produce four or five-note chords. In the dual mode

the highest and lowest voices (always one octave

apart) are assigned to R1, and the inner two or

three notes are assigned to R2.

Three harmony notes are generated to produce a

four-note chord. If both the R1 and R2 voices are

turned on (dual mode), the 1st (melody) and 3rd

notes are assigned to R1 while the 2nd and 4th

are assigned to R2.

Similar to the preceding type, but depending on

the chords played this type will sometimes pro-

duce a more colorful sound. The note assignment

in the dual mode is also different: 1st and 2nd

notes to R1, 3rd and 4th notes to R2.

Four-note chords with open voice (large intervals

between the notes). The result is a very “open”

sound. Since the harmony notes can be as much

as two octaves below the melody, avoid playing in

the lower registers. With certain voices you might

find that changing the octave (see “Octave” on

page 14) results in better sound. In the dual mode

the top (melody) note is assigned to R1 and all

three harmony notes are assigned to R2.

One note is added an octave below the melody.

In the dual mode the melody is assigned to R1

and the lower note to R2.

The notes and assignments are the same as in

the Block type, but the notes are arpeggiated.

● Setting the Pitch Bend Range

The maximum amount of pitch bend produced by the PITCH BEND wheel can be set anywhere from ±1

semitone to

±12 semitones (i.e. plus or minus one octave).

■Pitch Bend

The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard allows the pitch of

notes played on the keyboard to be bent up or down — roll the wheel away

from you to bend up, and toward you to bend down (this situation can be

reversed, as described below). When the PITCH BEND wheel is moved

almost all the way in either direction, the current pitch bend range value

will appear on the LCD display panel (see below).

suggests, apply to the overall sound of the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700.

■ Split Point Change

This function lets you set the split point (the key that separates the left-hand and right-hand orchestration

parts) to any key on the keyboard.

ZTurn Auto Accompaniment OFF ...........................................................................................................

To set the split point for the left- and right-hand orchestration parts,

make sure that the [AUTO ACCOMP] indicator is off before proceeding.

NOTES

• The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 actually memorizes two separate split

points: one for the left- and right-hand orchestration parts, and one for

Auto Accompaniment mode. See page 25 for details on setting the

Auto Accompaniment split point.

NOTES

• The key numbers for each note are listed above the keyboard. The C3

(middle C) key number, for example, is 60.

The easiest way to set the split point is to press the key you want to set

as the split point while holding the [SPLIT POINT] button. The number of

the selected key will appear on the LCD display panel.

As with all other parameters, you can also use the [+] and [–] buttons,

the number buttons, or the data dial to select the desired split point. The

default split point (69) can be recalled instantly by pressing both the [+] and

[–] buttons at the same time.

NOTES

• The split-point key becomes the lowest key in the right-hand section of

the keyboard.

■Transpose

The [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 up or down in

semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the keyboard makes

it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a

singer or other instrumentalist.

ZPress the [TRANSPOSE] Button ...........................................................................................................

Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TRANSPOSE] button. The

current transpose value will appear on the LCD display panel.

■Tuning

The [TUNING] button makes it possible to tune the pitch of the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 to match other instru-

ments. Tuning can be accomplished over a ±50-cent range (that’s 100 cents total, or one semitone) in 33 steps.

ZPress the [TUNING] Button....................................................................................................................

Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TUNING] button. The current

tuning value will appear on the LCD display panel.

XSet the Tuning ........................................................................................................................................

Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the

[TUNING] button itself to set the desired tuning value.

The tuning range is from –16 (–50 cents) to +16 (+50 cents). “00” (±0

cents) is the “normal” tuning value. The normal tuning value (00) can be

recalled instantly by pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.

NOTES

• The tuning setting is retained in memory even when the power switch

is turned off, as long as the backup batteries are installed or the AC

plug is connected.

the [+/–] button to enter negative values.

The transposition range is from –12 to +12, with –12 corresponding to

downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave), and +12 correspond-

ing to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 00 is the “normal” keyboard

pitch value. The normal transpose value (00) can be recalled instantly by

The [DSP TYPE] button selects one of eight digital effects that you can use for extra depth and expressive

power. This button determines the type of effect to be used, while the [DSP DEPTH] button in the VOICE sec-

tion allow the depth of the effect to be individually set for each orchestration part.

NOTES

• DSP effects may sound different with different voices.

• The DSP Type setting is retained in memory even when the power

switch is turned off, as long as the backup batteries are installed or

the AC plug is connected.

These are simulations of the large plate reverb devices traditionally

used in professional recording studios.

Delay 1 produces a distinct series of delay repeats, while Delay 2 pro-

duces a smoother multiple-delay sound.

For a spacious reverb sound use one of the Hall settings. These effects

simulate the natural reverberation of a concert hall. Hall 2 has a longer

reverb time and therefore simulates a larger hall than Hall 1.

These settings add relatively short reverb effects to the sound that are

similar to the type of acoustic reverberation you might hear in different

rooms.

This function varies the touch sensitivity of the keyboard. Use this capability to adjust the keyboard touch

sensitivity for the best results with your own particular playing style.

ZPress the [TOUCH SENSE] Button .......................................................................................................

Press the OVERALL CONTROL section [TOUCH SENSE] button. The

current sensitivity setting will appear on the LCD display panel.

VTurn Touch Sensitivity ON or OFF as Required..................................................................................

Use the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn touch sensitivity ON or

OFF as required. When OFF (i.e. when the indicator is off) the same vol-

ume is produced no matter how hard you play on the keyboard. Touch sen-

sitivity can be turned OFF to produce a more realistic effect with voices

that normally do not have touch response: e.g. organ and harpsichord.

XTurn Touch Sensitivity ON ....................................................................................................................

Press the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button so that its indicator lights. This

turns touch sensitivity ON.

CSet the Sensitivity ..................................................................................................................................

Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the

[TOUCH SENSE] button itself to set the desired sensitivity value (1 … 5).

A setting of “1” produces the least touch sensitivity, and therefore the

smallest dynamic range. A setting of “5” produces the greatest sensitivity

and broadest dynamic range. The default touch sensitivity value (4) can be

recalled instantly by pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.

Auto Accompaniment

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have 100 accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully-

orchestrated Auto Accompaniment. When the Auto Accompaniment function is turned ON, the

PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 create fully-orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment

based on chords you play with the left hand in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard

(i.e. all keys to the left of the Auto Accompaniment split point). The right-hand section of the key-

board is available for normal playing.

The default Auto Accompaniment split point

is the G2 (55) key. The Auto Accompaniment

section of the keyboard consists of all keys to

its left. The Auto Accompaniment split point

can be set to any other key as described in

“Setting the Auto Accompaniment Split Point”

on page 25.

NOTES

• Notes in parentheses can be omitted.

• A perfect fifth (1+5) produces accompaniment based only

on the root and fifth which can be used with many major

and minor chords.

• An octave (1+8) produces accompaniment based only on

the root.

• If three adjacent keys are played simultaneously (white and

black keys), chord accompaniment will be cancelled and

only the rhythm accompaniment will sound. (Chord 1/Chord

2 mode)

• The chord fingerings listed are all in “root position”, but

other inversions can be used — with the following excep-

tions:

* M6 chords are only recognized in root position. All other

inversions are interpreted as m7.

* 6 9 chords are only recognized in root position. All other

inversions are interpreted as m11.

* m6 chords are only recognized in root position. All other

● Mode 3: Single

SINGLE mode fingering makes it simple to produce beautifully

orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-

seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the Auto

Accompaniment section of the keyboard. The accompaniment pro-

duced is perfectly matched to the currently selected accompaniment

style.

Major Chords:

If you press a “C” key in the left-hand section of the keyboard, for

example, a C-major accompaniment will be played. Press another key

in the left-hand section of the keyboard to select a new chord. The key

you press will always determine the “root” of the chord played (i.e.

“C” for a C chord).

Minor Chords:

Simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.

Seventh Chords:

Simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.

Minor-seventh Chords:

Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key

to its left.

NOTES

• The Auto Accompaniment will continue playing even if you lift

your fingers from the Auto Accompaniment keys. You only need

to press the Auto Accompaniment keys when changing chords.

This is a combination of the Single and Chord 1 modes. In this

mode the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 automatically discriminates between

Single and Chord 1 mode fingerings and generates the appropriate

accompaniment.

NOTES

• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are

black keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1

mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a minor

(m) chord.

• If more than three keys are played and, excluding the highest

key, are a mixture of black and white keys, and the chord is not

recognized by the Chord 1 mode, the highest note will be inter-

preted as the root of a minor-seventh (m7) chord.

• If more than two keys are played and all but the highest key are

white keys, and the chord is not recognized by the Chord 1

mode, the highest note will be interpreted as the root of a sev-

enth (7) chord.

Auto Accompaniment

In this mode chords played anywhere on the keyboard are detected

and used for Auto Accompaniment. Otherwise the keyboard functions

normally, and the entire range is available for playing. Chord recogni-

tion is the same as in the Chord 1 mode. Please note that in this mode

all notes you play on the keyboard at any one time will be interpreted

as the Auto Accompaniment chord.

NOTES

• A single note played more than one octave below the lowest

note in a chord will be interpreted as a bass note, and notes

played more than an 11th above the lowest chord note will be

interpreted as melody.

● Mode 5: Full

● The [METRONOME] Button

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 include a metronome function that you’ll

■Accompaniment Control

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, break,

variations on the main pattern, ending — that you can select to control the “flow” of the accompaniment to

achieve the desired musical results. Accompaniment start/stop and sections are controlled by the ACCOMPANI-

MENT CONTROL buttons.

● Straight Start...........................................................................................................................................

The [START/STOP] button starts the selected accompaniment style

immediately.

Press the [AUTO ACCOMP] button so that its indicator lights before

starting the accompaniment. The accompaniment will start with the rhythm

sound only when the [START/STOP] button is pressed, then the bass and

chord parts will begin playing as soon as the first note or chord is played on

the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.

NOTES

• A different accompaniment style can be selected at any time while the

accompaniment is playing. The style number and name on the LCD

display panel will change as soon as the selection is made, but the

new style will begin playback from the top of the next measure. The

only exception is if you change styles while an intro is playing (see

page 30), in which case the new style begin playing after the intro has

finished. The tempo will not change when the new style begins play-

ing.

The Beat Indicator

The four BEAT indicator LEDs located above the AUTO ACCOMPANI-

MENT control section flash to indicate the tempo and beat as the accompa-

niment plays. The LEDs flash individually in sequence on each beat of the

measure. In 4/4, 3/4, and 6/8 time, for example, the beat indicator LEDs

will flash as shown to the left.

NOTES

• Each accompaniment style has a preset “normal” tempo which is au-

tomatically selected whenever the style is selected while the accom-

paniment is stopped. The current tempo is maintained if you select a

different style during accompaniment playback (except when the One

Touch Setting function is used — page 36). You can change the

tempo as required by using the TEMPO function described on page

28.

Press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button if you want the accompani-

keyboard.

NOTES

• If the AUTO ACCOMP mode is OFF, playing anywhere on the key-

board causes the rhythm-only accompaniment to start.

If you press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button, the BEAT indicator

LEDs will flash at the current tempo. The synchro start mode can be disen-

gaged by pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP] button again so that its indi-

cator goes out.

Auto Accompaniment

● Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction .............................................................................

Any of the accompaniment styles can be started with an appropriate intro-

duction by pressing the [INTRO] button and then the [START/STOP] button.

If you press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button and then the [INTRO] button,

the accompaniment will start from the introduction as soon as a chord is de-

tected in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.

Once the [INTRO] button is pressed, the [INTRO] indicator will be lit

continuously and the VARIATION [A] or [B] indicator will flash to indicate

which section will play when the introduction has finished. You can change the

“destination” section by pressing the VARIATION [A] or [B] button while its

indicator is flashing. When the introduction ends, the [INTRO] indicator will

go out and the [A] or [B] indicator will light continuously. The introductions

for the VARIATION [A] and [B] sections are different. The A intro has no

chord progression while the B intro has its own chord progression. The actual

format of the intro, however, depends on the selected style. Although it is

generally not advisable to change chords manually while the B intro is playing,

the A intro has no progression of its own so you can play your own chords as

required.

NOTES

• It is possible to start the accompaniment from any section — even the

ending — by pressing the corresponding button prior to pressing the

[START/STOP] button. The destination MAIN [A] or [B] section can be

selected as described above.

• The [INTRO] button can be used to select the introduction pattern even

while the accompaniment is playing.

● Adding Fill-ins & Breaks ........................................................................................................................

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide two types of fill-ins that can be used

as musical transitions between sections of a song or simply to add variety

where required. Press the [FILL IN 1] button at any time while the accompani-

ment is playing to add a one-measure fill-in and or return to the current MAIN

section, or press the [FILL IN 2] button to add a one-measure fill-in and go to

the other MAIN section. Although there are two FILL IN buttons there are

actually four fill-ins per style: FILL IN 1 for the MAIN [A] section, FILL IN 1

for the MAIN [B] section, FILL IN 2 for the transition MAIN [A] to [B], and

FILL IN 2 for the transition MAIN [B] to [A].

While the fill-ins are one measure long, the BREAK is two measures. The

first measure is similar to a fill-in while the second measure is an actual rhyth-

mic break — a thinner arrangement with drums and percussion predominating.

Like the fill-ins, there are actually two BREAK patterns — one for the MAIN

[A] section and one for the MAIN [B] section.

FILL IN 1 FILL IN 2

Each accompaniment style has two main sections — [A] and [B]. These are

variations of the same musical style. If the VARIATION [A] or [B] button is

pressed while the accompaniment is playing, the corresponding section will

begin from the top of the next measure. You can also select [A] or [B] before

starting the accompaniment.

NOTES

• The Main [A] section is automatically selected whenever the power switch

is turned on (the VARIATION [A] indicator will be lit).

If the MAIN A section is playing, for example, the

[A] indicator will flash while FILL IN 1 or the

BREAK plays, and the [B] indicator will flash while

FILL IN 2 plays. You can change the section that will

begin playing after the selected fill-in or break by

pressing the desired section button while the indicator

is still flashing.

NOTES

• If you hold the [FILL IN 1], [FILL IN 2] or [BREAK] button, the fill-in or

second measure of the break pattern will repeat until the button is

released, then the MAIN A or B section will play from the beginning of

the next measure.

• If the [FILL IN 1], [FILL IN 2] or [BREAK] button is pressed after the

last beat of a measure, the fill-in or break will begin from the first beat

of the next measure. If pressed at any other time the fill-in or break will

begin immediately.

• It is also possible to start the accompaniment with a fill-in or break by

pressing the desired fill-in or break button prior to pressing the

[START/STOP] button. The destination MAIN [A] or [B] section can be

selected in the normal way.

● Stopping the Accompaniment...............................................................................................................

An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing

the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNC-START/STOP] button. In the

latter case the synchro start mode will be engaged when the accompaniment

stops. The accompaniment can also be stopped with an appropriate ending

by pressing the [ENDING] button. The endings for the MAIN [A] and [B]

sections are different. The A ending has no chord progression while the B

ending has its own chord progression. The actual format of the ending,

however, depends on the selected style.

NOTES

• The ending will begin from the first beat of the next measure.

• If the [FILL IN 1], [FILL IN 2], or [BREAK] button is pressed while the

ending pattern is playing, a fill-in or break will be played, followed by a

return to the MAIN A or B pattern.

■The Track Buttons

The Auto Accompaniment system includes eight TRACK buttons

which allow you to control the accompaniment arrangement in real

time. You can turn tracks on or off while playing for extra accompa-

niment variety.

The various tracks are turned on or off by pressing the correspond-

ing TRACK button. When a part is turned off the corresponding indi-

cator will go out. To silence the bass part, for example, press the

TRACK [BASS] button so that its indicator goes out. Press the button

again to turn that part back on.

NOTES

• The indicators for all tracks that contain data in any section will

light whenever an accompaniment style is selected. (Depend-

ing on the selected accompaniment style, some tracks may not

contain any data.)

● What’s In the Tracks...............................................................................................................................

Here’s how the tracks are normally used:

RHYTHM 1: This is the main rhythm track, and usually plays a drum kit.

RHYTHM 2: Additional rhythm. Turning the RHYTHM 2 track ON will usually increase

the “energy” of the rhythm. In many styles this track plays percussion in-

struments such as congas, bongos, etc. This means you can turn off the

RHYTHM 1 track and use only RHYTHM 2 for a “light” rhythm sound.

BASS: The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit

the selected style … acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc.

RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 & 2:

Both these tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by

each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here.

PAD CHORD: 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.

Try different combinations of tracks with each style. Some styles will sound best with the full arrangement

(all tracks ON), while others might suit your needs better if a smaller arrangement is used. To “thin out” an

arrangement, the PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2 tracks are the first ones you’ll want to turn OFF.

Another way to use the tracks is to gradually build up the arrangement during the course of a song. Start

with a small arrangement — e.g. RHYTHM 1, BASS, and RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 — then add tracks one by

one as you want to thicken the musical texture.

Some styles will actually sound quite different depending on the combination of tracks you choose. Try,

for example, just RHYTHM 1, BASS, and PAD CHORD.

[REVOICE] button indicators will flash. At the same time, the number of

the voice currently assigned to the selected track will appear on the LCD

display panel.

■ Re-voicing the Tracks

To make the TRACK buttons even more versatile, the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a REVOICE function

that lets you individually change the voices and several related VOICE section parameters assigned to each

track. The parameters that can be changed using the REVOICE function are as follows:

NOTES

• ALL REVOICE settings are reset to their default values if you

changes styles while the REVOICE function is OFF. If you want to

keep a re-voiced setup so that it can be easily recalled later,

store it in the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 REGISTRATION MEMORY,

described on page 37.

• As long as you don’t change styles while the REVOICE function is

OFF, the re-voiced settings are maintained and can be recalled at any

time simply by turning the REVOICE function ON.

• If you change styles while the REVOICE function is engaged, the re-

voiced settings will be maintained.

• In some cases it may not be possible to re-voice a Custom Accompa-

niment during accompaniment playback. If this problem occurs, try re-

voicing the style while the accompaniment is stopped.

● Memorizing the Settings ........................................................................................................................

The panel settings listed above can be stored to any one of

the eight REGISTRATION MEMORY buttons by pressing the

button — [1] through [8] — while holding the [MEMORIZE]

button. The indicator of the selected button will light continu-

ously indicating that the data has been stored.

NOTES

• Please note that anytime you store to a REGISTRA-

TION MEMORY button, all settings previously stored

in that button will be erased and replaced by the new

settings.

• The indicator of the selected REGISTRATION MEMORY

will flash as soon as any change is made to the panel

settings. In other words, if the REGISTRATION

MEMORY indicator is flashing, the current panel settings

are different from those stored in the memory.

• The Registration Memory data is retained in memory

even when the power switch is turned off, as long as the

backup batteries are installed or the AC plug is con-

nected.

tor is lit, for example, then only the stored AUTO ACCOMPA-

NIMENT settings will be recalled when a REGISTRATION

MEMORY button is pressed.

To use the [FREEZE] button, simply press it as many times

as necessary to cause the appropriate indicators to light. When

an indicator is lit, then the corresponding group of settings is

“frozen”.

Record complete songs including an accompaniment track and up to six melody tracks. Songs can

be saved to and loaded from floppy disk as required (page 56).

● MULTI PADS:

Record short chord, melody, or rhythm sequences that can be played back anytime by simply

pressing a button. The MULTI PAD data can be saved to and loaded from floppy disk as required.

● CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT:

Create your own accompaniment style for use with the Auto Accompaniment feature. Custom ac-

companiments can be saved to and loaded from floppy disk as required.

Operation of all three functions is essentially the same, so once you’re familiar with the basic proce-

dure, recording songs, multi-pad phrases, or custom accompaniments should be easy. We’ll start with

the SONG MEMORY.

Record Functions

Song Memory

The SONG MEMORY allows you to record and play back complete songs including chord sequences created

using the Auto Accompaniment feature and melody lines you play on the keyboard. The SONG MEMORY has one

ACCOMP track and six MELODY tracks. You also have a choice of realtime and step recording modes: the realtime

mode records what you play as you play it; the step mode lets you record one step at a time.

Only one song can be retained in the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 memory at a time, but your songs can be saved to

floppy disk — at most 99 songs per disk (the actual number depends on the volume of the song data) — and then

reloaded later whenever you want to play them (page 56).

CAUTION

• Turning the power OFF during recording or while the record-

ready mode is engaged can result in a loss of recorded data.

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 MULTI PADS can be used to record short rhythmic or melodic sequences, percus-

sion fill-ins, or single percussion sounds that can be played at any time simply by pressing the appropriate pad. Pads

[1] and [2] play back exactly as recorded, while pads [3] and [4] are “CHORD MATCH” types which are automati-

cally transposed to match chords played using the Auto-accompaniment feature.

Only one set of MULTI PAD data can be retained in the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 memory at a time, but any

number of MULTI PAD sets can be saved to floppy disks and then reloaded later when needed (page 56).

The MULTI PADs record the following operations and data:

• Key on/off

(i.e. notes played on the keyboard).

• Key velocity.

• Voice number (Percussion Kit, Sampled

Voice Number (PSR-2700)).

• Volume.

• Pan.

• DSP depth.

NOTES

• Before recording, the PSR-1700/PSR-2700

memory contains a preset set of MULTI PAD

data that will be erased when new MULTI PAD

data is recorded. The original preset data can

be restored by using the “System Reset” func-

tion described on page 82.

BSave Your MULTI PAD Data to Floppy Disk.........................................................................................

When you’ve finished recording your MULTI PAD data save it to floppy

disk as described on page 58. Making this step a habit will prevent acciden-

tal loss of data.

■ Playback

Simply tap any of the MULTI PADS at any time to play back the data

they contain. MULTI PAD playback begins as soon as the button is

pressed. You can even play two, three, or four MULTI PADS at the same

time. Also, you can create “retriggered sample” effects by repeatedly

pressing a pad before its contents are completely played back.

The MULTI PAD voices are independent from the voices you have currently selected for key-

board performance. You could, for example, play piano on the keyboard while a MULTI PAD plays a

brass chord stab.

MULTI PADS [3] and [4] are “CHORD MATCH” types, and the data they contain will be auto-

matically transposed to match chords played using the Auto Accompaniment feature.

MULTI PAD playback can be terminated by pressing the MULTI PADS [STOP] button.

NOTES

• MULTI PAD playback speed is determined by the current TEMPO setting.

• The contents of the MULTI PAD memory are retained in memory even when the power is turned

off as long as backup batteries are present or the AC plug is connected.

• Percussion data recorded to either of the CHORD MATCH pads will play back in the same way as

the normal pads.

• To use MULTI PAD data from disk, load the data into the PSR-1700/2700 as described on page

60.

number of custom accompaniments can be saved to floppy disks and then reloaded later when needed (page 56).

The CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT records the following operations and data:

• Key on/off

(i.e. notes played on the keyboard).

• Key velocity.

• Voice number (Percussion Kit, Sampled

Voice Number (PSR-2700)).

• Volume.

• Pan.

• DSP depth.

• Sustain (footswitch) on/off.

XEngage the Custom Accompaniment Record Ready Mode ...............................................................

Press the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section TRACK button corre-

sponding to the accompaniment track you want to record while holding the

RECORDING section [REC] button. (If the selected track contains no pre-

set data, “IllegalOperation” will appear on the LCD display and the custom

accompaniment record ready mode cannot be engaged.) Both the [REC]

and track indicators will flash and, if you’ve selected a preset accompani-

ment style on which to base your custom accompaniment (not number

“00”), the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will light and the PSR-1700/PSR-

2700 will ask “Are you sure?” (see NOTES, below). Press the [YES] button

if you want to go ahead with the record procedure, thus erasing the previous

contents of the custom accompaniment. This engages the record ready

mode for the specified track. If the OVERALL CONTROL section [MET-

RONOME] button indicator is lit, the metronome will sound at the cur-

rently selected tempo. Press [NO] to cancel the operation and preserve the

contents.

NOTES

• If you select a style number other than “00” on which to base

your custom accompaniment, the selected style is copied to the

NOTES

• Be sure to record your CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT based on a CM7

chord. The parts will be automatically transposed to match the chord played

when the CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT is played back.

• The “Are you sure?” confirmation will not occur when you clear recorded

data while in the record mode.

• Custom accompaniments can also be recorded using the Step Record mode

— see page 50.

• With some styles there may be a slight delay between the end of the section

and beginning of the next cycle when recording.

• If the CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT becomes full while recording, “Memory

Full” will appear on the LCD display panel and recording will stop.

BRepeat to Complete the Accompaniment ............................................................................................

Repeat steps X, C, and V, selecting and recording the various tracks as re-

quired until your custom accompaniment is complete. You can also switch sec-

tions while recording, so you can record an entire custom accompaniment with-

out having to stop recording.

NOTES

• If you change sections while recording and the current track contains no

preset data, “IllegalOperation” will appear on the LCD display panel to indi-

cate that recording is not possible.

NStop Recording.......................................................................................................................................

Stop recording by pressing the TRACK button being recorded or the AC-

COMPANIMENT CONTROL section [START/STOP] button. The [REC] indi-

cator will go out and “Now Processing” will appear on the LCD display panel

while the PSR-1700/2700 is processing recorded data. “Completed” will appear

briefly when the data has been processed. The recorded accompaniment data will

automatically be stored in the CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT (style number

“00”).

If you stop recording by pressing the [SYNC-START/STOP] button you will

be returned to step X, above (the record-ready mode).

MSave Your Completed Accompaniment to Floppy Disk .....................................................................

When you’ve finished recording your custom accompaniment — or have re-

corded as much as you want to in the current session — save your accompani-

ment to floppy disk as described on page 58. Making this step a habit will pre-

vent accidental loss of data.

NOTES

• The Custom Accompaniment data is retained in memory even when the

power switch is turned off as long as the backup batteries are installed or

the AC plug is connected. It is nevertheless a good idea to save important

data to floppy disk so you have a backup in case of accidental erasure.

■ Using a Custom Accompaniment

To use a custom accompaniment simply select style number “00” and

use the Auto Accompaniment feature in the normal way (page 24).

Step Recording

In addition to the realtime-recording procedures described above, the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have a “step re-

cording” mode in which notes can be entered one at a time with precise timing and length.

Record Functions

NOTES

• Only chord sequences can be step-recorded to the Song Memory ACCOMP track. The

REWRITE SETTING function (page 55) can be used after recording to change other

parameters as required.

• You can specify the measure from which you want to begin song memory step recording

as described on page 44.

• The Metronome does not function during step recording.

• The following parameters cannot be changed during Song Memory ACCOMP track step

recording: style number, section, track on/off, revoice on/off, registration memory, fade

The LCD display panel During Step Record

During step recording the LCD display panel shows the current measure

number (“Mes”), the current beat (“BT” — there are, for example, four

beats per measure in 4/4 time), and the position of the current note within

the current beat (the bar to the right of the “BT” value). Each division on

the bar represents a 32nd note. If you are entering 16th notes, for example,

the vertical marker on the bar graph will move forward by two divisions

when each note is entered.

To Enter a Rest …

Rests can be entered by pressing only the [STEP FWD (PLAY/STOP)]

button immediately after specifying the required step size for the rest.

Stepping Backward

In the STEP RECORD mode the [RESET] button functions as the

[STEP BWD] (step backward). You can use this button to step backward

through the recording by the currently specified step size while erasing the

data.

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature

a floppy disk drive that allows virtually

unlimited storage of songs you record

using the Song Memory, custom ac-

companiments, Multi Pad data, Regis-

tration Memory data, and sampled

voices (PSR-2700 only). The disk drive

also allows the PSR-1700 and PSR-

2700 to play standard MIDI music files

(file format 0) and Yamaha Disk

Orchestra Collection disks.

Using Floppy Disks

●Type of Disk

■

Use only double-sided double density

(2DD) 3.5-inch floppy disks with the PSR-

1700 and PSR-2700.

the disk back into the slot, then repeat the

eject procedure carefully.

■

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’s 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 accept-

able relative humidity range is approxi-

mately 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 contami-

nated 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

recommend 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). With the

tab in this position data can be read from

the disk but nothing can be written to it.

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.

● Floppy Disk Handling Precautions

Write protect tab on (locked

— write protected)

Write protect tab off (unlocked

— write enabled)

●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 press-

ing the eject button once again or push

■Formatting a New Floppy Disk

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 use only 3.5" 2DD floppy disks. Before you can use a new disk for saving

data, the disk must be “formatted” as described below.

ZInsert the Disk To Be Formatted ...........................................................................................................

NOTES

• If an unformatted disk is already in the drive and the format operation

was cancelled prior to execution, press the [FORMAT] button to re-

engage the format function.

• The [FORMAT] button can also be used when you want to re-format a

formatted disk - to erase all the data it contains, for example.

• “Unformatted Disk” will appear on the display if an unformatted write-

protected disk is loaded. Make sure the disk’s write protect tab is in

the write position before formatting.

XConfirm and Format ...............................................................................................................................

Press the [YES] button to confirm and execute the format operation (or

press [NO] to cancel). Formatting an entire disk takes a few seconds, and

the progress of the operation is shown on the LCD display panel in percent

formatted: “0%” through “100%”. When the disk has been 100% formatted

the format function will be automatically disengaged.

Insert a new blank disk. Make sure that the disk’s write protect tab is set

to the “write” position (tab closed), and insert the new disk into the disk

drive unit with the sliding door facing the drive slot and the label side of the

disk facing upward. The disk should click securely into place.

When an unformatted disk is properly loaded, “Format?” will appear on

the LCD display panel, the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and the

PSR-1700/PSR-2700 will ask “Are you sure?”.

NOTES

• Be careful not to format a disk that already contains data you

want to keep. The format operation erases all data on the floppy

disk!

• The “Format?” display will also appear if you insert a disk that has

been formatted on a piece of equipment other than the PSR-1700 or

PSR-2700.

Using Floppy Disks

■Saving, Loading, & Deleting Disk Files

● Saving to Disk

A single floppy disk can hold up to 99 separate files (depending on the file size). Each file on a disk has a

unique file number (01 through 99) and file name. You can specify both the file number and file name you want

to save to.

When saving data to disk you must also specify a file type according to the type of data you want to save.

The file types are listed below (they’re also listed on the panel in the DISK control section). The “file extension”

is a period and three-character suffix attached to the end of each file name to identify the file type.

Type File Extension Data Saved

All .ALL All data except sampled voices: song, custom accompaniment, multi pad,

registration memory.

Song .SNG The song data currently in the song memory.

Custom Style .STY The current custom style (style no. 00)

Multi Pad .PAD All current multi pad data; pads [1] through [4].

Registration Memory .REG All current registration memory settings; [1] through [8].

Single Voice (PSR-2700) .VCE A single specified sampled voice (the currently selected sampled voice in

the digital sampling section).

Sample Dump (PSR-2700) .VDP All sampled voices currently in the sample memory.

Press the [FILE #] button and use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number

buttons, the data dial, or the [FILE #] button itself to specify the file

number you want to save to.

CAUTION

• If you select a file number that already contains data, the original

data will be erased and replaced by the new data!

• In the case of a Single Voice (.VCE) the currently selected sampled

voice number will be saved with the sampled voice data. The same

sampled voice number will then be automatically selected when the

voice is loaded (the load destination voice number can be changed as

required).

If an appropriate disk is not already in the drive, insert the disk you want

to save the data to. If necessary, format the disk as described in the previous

section before proceeding.

NOTES

• When a formatted disk is inserted the amount of space remaining on

the disk is displayed in kilobytes.

Press the [SAVE PART] button and use the [+] and [–] buttons, the

● Enter an Original File Name Prior to Saving

The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 automatically creates a file name (for example

“PSR_ _ _01”) for the file you are about to save. If you want to enter a more

descriptive name for easier file identification (and this is recommended), this

can be done via the keyboard immediately before executing step V, above. A

file name can consist of up to eight characters. Each key on the keyboard en-

ters a different character, listed immediately below the key. The lowest key

(C1) functions as a shift key that shifts between lower- and upper-case charac-

ters: hold the SHIFT key while pressing a character key to enter the upper-

case character. Each time a character is entered the cursor moves to the next

character position (you cannot write over the file extension following the pe-

riod at then end of the file name). The F5 and F#5 keys move the cursor back-

ward and forward within the file name. Use these keys to place the cursor

where you want to enter or change a character. The DELETE key (G5) deletes

the character at the cursor position.

When you’ve completed the name, start the save operation by pressing the

ENTER key (C6) or by pressing the [YES] button as described in step V. Du-

plicate file names are not accepted. If you enter a file name that already exists

on the disk, the “Same Name” error message will appear on the display.

CAUTION

• Never remove the disk or turn the power off while the “Saving” dis-

play is showing.

NOTES

• If the file number you have selected already contains data, the PSR-1700/

PSR-2700 will ask for confirmation with then “Overwrite OK?” display. If

you’re sure you want to write of the existing data press the [YES] button.

Press [NO] if you want to cancel.

• If the disk becomes full during a save operation “Disk Full” will appear on

the display and the save operation will be aborted. In this case the data

saved up to that point will be cleared. Sampled voices are an exception,

however, since they can be saved individually. If the disk becomes full

while saving sampled voices the PSR-2700 will request a new disk in

order to save the remaining voices (“Insert Disk No. X” display — “X”

being the number of the required disk).

• When saving song, custom accompaniment, or multi pad data which uses

a sampled voice, be sure to save the sampled voice separately. The sam-

pled voice must then be independently loaded when the song, custom

accompaniment, or multi pad data is loaded for use. The sampled voice

data will automatically be loaded into the appropriate voice number (do

not change the destination voice number when loading).

• Save and Load operations can be canceled by pressing and holding the

[NO] button.

• If you load style data from disk, it will automatically be loaded into style

number “00” and can be selected and used in the same way as the preset

styles.

● Loading Data From the Supplied Demonstration Disk

File numbers 01 through 04 on the PSR-1700/2700 demonstration disk and

file numbers 01 and 02 on the PSR-2700 demonstration disk are demo songs

that can be played by using the quick play function. When the PSR-2700 dem-

onstration disk is inserted, the sampled voice data will automatically be loaded

into sampled voice number 128. The sampled voice will not be loaded

automatically if there is already data in sampled voice number 128, or if the

wave RAM is full. If there is already data in voice number 128 “Replace OK?”

will appear on the LCD display and the “Are you sure?” prompt will sound.

press [YES] to continue with the load operation. If the wave RAM is full

“Wave Ram Full” will appear on the LCD display. You will have to delete un-

The PSR-2700 features a built-in digital voice sampling system that lets you digitally

record any sounds from a microphone or line-level source and play those sounds via the

four SAMPLE PADS and/or the keyboard. The Digital Sampling system can record a maxi-

mum of 6 seconds of sound per sample pad, up to a total of 60 seconds. A sampled

“voice” is a complete set of data for the four SAMPLE PADS.

PSR-2700 Digital Sampling

CAUTION

• Never interrupt the PSR-2700 power supply - either by unplug-

ging the power cord or by turning the power switch off - during

sampling, during a clear operation, while the PSR-2700 is

processing sampled data (i.e. while “Squeezing” appears on the

display), or while loading sampled voices from disk. Doing so will

result in the loss of all data in the PSR-2700 wave RAM!

To use the Digital Sampler you’ll need to connect the source you intend

to use to either the rear-panel SAMPLE IN LINE or MIC jack. If you’ll be

recording via a microphone, plug the microphone into the SAMPLE IN

MIC jack. If you’ll be recording from a line-level source such as a cassette

player or other audio playback device, plug the player’s line output into the

SAMPLE IN LINE jack. If your audio playback device has RCA pin-jack

type outputs you’ll need to acquire a cable or connector converter that al-

lows connection to the PSR-2700’s 1/4-inch mono phone jack.

PSR-2700 Digital Sampling

XPlay the Source and Adjust the Level ..................................................................................................

Play the sound you intend to record, via microphone or line, and adjust

the INPUT LEVEL control while watching the level indicators above the

control. The length of the “bar” formed by the level indicators increases as

input level increases. For optimum sound quality, your input signal should

cause most of the indicators to light, but not all. If all indicators including

the red “0 dB” indicator light in response to the input signal you’re prob-

ably overloading the input circuitry and will end up with distorted sound. At

the other extreme, if none of the indicators light, or only the lowest one or

two indicators light, then the input signal is too small and the level of the

recorded sound will be too low.

NOTES

• The keyboard and other function buttons will not operate in the level

check mode.

■Setting the Sampling Frequency

The length of the sample you can record and its sound quality are determined by the “sampling frequency”. A

high sampling frequency produce better sound quality but shorter samples; a low sampling frequency allow

longer recording but with reduced sound quality. The PSR-2700 gives you two sampling frequency settings:

ZPress the [FREQ] Button .......................................................................................................................

Press the DIGITAL SAMPLING section [FREQ] button. The current

sampling frequency setting will appear on the LCD display panel.

XSelect a Frequency Setting ...................................................................................................................

Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the

[FREQ] button itself to select the desired sampling frequency setting

(“LOW” or “HIGH”).

■Setting the Trigger Level

There are two ways to start sample recording: manual and triggered. With manual recording recording starts

the moment you press the [REC] and pad buttons, as described in the “Recording” section, below. With trig-

gered recording you initially engage the record standby mode and recording actually begins as soon as the PSR-

2700 detects an input signal that is higher than the selected trigger level. The [TRIGGER LEVEL] button lets

you select the method you want to use, and provides 5 different trigger levels. The trigger level you choose will

depend on the type of signal you want to record and the level of the background noise where you record. The

idea is to set the highest trigger level that will start recording without cutting off the attack of the sound you are

recording. If the trigger level is too low, recording can be triggered by ambient background noise at the wrong

time.

ZPress the [TRIGGER LEVEL] Button ....................................................................................................

LEVEL

XSelect a Trigger Level ............................................................................................................................

Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the

[TRIGGER LEVEL] button itself to select the desired trigger level setting

(“OFF” or “1” through “5”).

When the trigger level is set to “OFF”, manual recording is selected and

recording will start immediately when the [REC] and pad buttons are

pressed (see the “Recording” section, below). Automatic triggering is se-

lected when a value from 1 to 5 is selected. “1” produces the lowest trigger-

ing level, triggering recording when even a very soft sound is detected at

the input. Increasing values produce progressively higher trigger levels. Try

a trigger level of 2 or 3 to begin with. The default setting of “3” can be in-

stantly selected by pressing the [+] and [–] buttons simultaneously.

NOTES

• Proper trigger operation depends on proper input level adjustment.

Make sure you set the input level properly as described on page 63.

• The trigger level is set to “3” when the PSR-2700 power is initially

turned on.

PSR-2700 Digital Sampling

■Recording

NOTES

• Although a maximum of 255 individual samples can be recorded,

the samples have to be extremely short — a fraction of a second

each — to achieve this number. During normal sample recording the

sample memory is likely to become full long before the maximum of

255 samples is reached. The maximum total recording time — 60

seconds — is a more reliable guide as to how much of the sample

memory has been used or is available.

Each sampled “voice” recorded by the PSR-2700 can contain four separate samples, one in each SAMPLE

PAD. You can play the individual samples included in the selected sample voice by playing the appropriate pad,

or by playing on the keyboard when the VOICE section SAMPLED VOICE indicator is lit. When you play a

sampled voice via the keyboard, the four separate samples it contains are assigned to different ranges of the key-

board. This will be explained in more detail in the “Playing Samples via the Keyboard” section on page 70.

Your sampled voices will be retained in the PSR-2700 sample memory even when the power is turned off as

long as the backup batteries are installed on the AC plug is connected. Your samples can also be saved to and

loaded from disk so you can create and original sample library.

ZSelect a Sample Voice Number.............................................................................................................

Press the DIGITAL SAMPLING section [VOICE #] button. The cur-

rent selected sample voice number will appear on the LCD display panel.

Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the

[VOICE #] button itself to select the desired sample voice number. If the

selected voice number contains no data, “********” will appear on the

display in place of the voice name.

Press the SAMPLE PAD to which you want to record while holding

the DIGITAL SAMPLING section [REC] button. “Sampling Ready” will

appear on the display. Recording will begin immediately if you set the

trigger level to “OFF” (see “Setting the Trigger Level, above). If you se-

lected automatic triggering, the [REC] button and selected SAMPLE PAD

will flash until recording is triggered by an input signal. When recording

starts, whether manual or triggered, the [REC] button indicator will light

continuously and “Sampling” will appear on the display.

NOTES

• The keyboard and other function buttons will not operate during

sample recording.

• If the “No Bank” or “Wave Ram Full” error message appears, there

is not enough memory available for sampling and some data will

have to be cleared before sampling will be possible (See “Error

Messages” on page 81).

• If the maximum sampling time is exceeded, “Sampling End” will

appear on the display and recording will stop automatically.

• In some cases “SQUEEZING XXX%” will appear on the display

while the PSR-2700 processes the sampled data after recording.

“XXXKByteFree” will then appear, indicating the amount of RAM

remaining after the data has been processed.

Repeat the above procedure to record the remaining SAMPLE PADS, as

required.

NOTES

• The PSR-2700 has 1,020 kilobytes (1.02 megabytes) of waveform

RAM memory for sampled voice storage. To find out how much of this

memory is available for recording press the [CLEAR] button: “XXXX

KByteFree” will appear on the display (“XXXX” indicates the remaining

RAM in kilobytes).

• The sample data is retained in memory even when the power switch is

turned off as long as the backup batteries are installed or the AC plug

is connected.

● Enter an Original Voice Name

The PSR-2700 automatically creates a voice name for each sampled

voice. If you want to enter a more descriptive name for easier identification

(and this is recommended), this can be done via the keyboard after pressing

the DIGITAL SAMPLING section [VOICE NAME] button so that its indi-

cator lights. A voice name can consist of up to eight characters. Each key on

the keyboard enters a different character, listed immediately below the key.

The lowest key (C1) functions as a shift key that shifts between lower- and

upper-case characters: hold the SHIFT key while pressing a character key

to enter the upper-case character. Each time a character is entered the cursor

moves to the next character position. The F5 and F#5 keys move the cursor

backward and forward within the voice name. Use these keys to place the

cursor where you want to enter or change a character. The DELETE key

(G5) deletes the character at the cursor position. Press the ENTER key

(C6) when you’ve finished entering the voice name — this returns you to

the voice number display (your voice name will not be entered if you don’t

press the ENTER key).

NOTES

• Playing the keyboard will produce no sound during voice name entry.

• No name can be entered for a voice that contains no data.

The recorded samples can be played simply by pressing the appropriate

SAMPLE PAD. The sample sounds only as long as the pad is held, so you

play only a section of a sample by releasing the pad early, or rapidly

retrigger the first section of the sample by repeatedly pressing the pad. The

pads can also be played at the same time so you can play all four samples

simultaneously, as required.

To select a different sample voice for playback via the pads, then press

the DIGITAL SAMPLING section [VOICE #] button and use the [+] and

[–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the [VOICE #] button

itself to select the desired sample voice number.

NOTES

• Different voices can be selected for playback via the pads and key-

board (see page 70), and these can be played simultaneously via the

pads and keyboard.

• To use sample pad data from disk, load the data into the PSR-2700

as described on page 60.

PITCH

The pitch of each SAMPLE PAD can be adjusted over approximately a ±50-cent range (100 cents total —

approximately one semitone). This is a convenient way to tune samples to match the music in which they will be

used.

● Tuning the Samples

XSelect the Pitch.......................................................................................................................................

Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, or the data dial to set

the pitch as required. The pitch range is from “–10” through “0” to “+10”. A

setting of “0” produces normal pitch. Each increment raises (+) or lowers (–

) the pitch by approximately 5 cents. You can play the pads while tuning to

check the sound.

The normal tuning value can be recalled instantly by pressing the [+]

and [–] buttons at the same time.

To play your samples via the PSR-2700 keyboard, press the VOICE sec-

tion [SAMPLED VOICE] button so that its indicator lights. If all four

SAMPLE PADS have been recorded for the currently selected sampled

voice, the individual samples will initially be assigned to the keyboard as

follows:

In the above chart “Key” is the key on the keyboard to which the

original pitch of the recorded sample is assigned. For example, pressing the

C2 key will produce exactly the same sound as pressing PAD 1. Other keys

within the specified range play the sample at appropriately higher or lower

pitches. If only one sample is recorded, the sample will play across the

entire range of the keyboard. If two or three samples are recorded they will

be assigned to the same keys but the ranges will be adjusted to suit the

number of samples. The sample key assignments can be changed by using

the “Mapping” function, described below.

To select a different sample voice for playback via the keyboard, make

sure the VOICE section [SAMPLED VOICE] indicator is

on, then use the

[+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the [VOICE SE-

LECT] button to select the desired sample voice number.

Press the [SAMPLED VOICE] button so that its indicator goes out

when you want to return to the normal voice mode.

NOTES

• The sampled voices have 26-note polyphony in addition to the 28

notes available for the normal voices.

• The sampled voices can be assigned to any of the ORCHESTRA-

TION parts.

[VOICE SELECT] button, for example — to exit from the mapping func-

tion.

NOTES

• Normally the key to which a sample is mapped will become approxi-

mately the center of its range. The actual range will depend on how

many of the four samples are recorded and to which keys they are

mapped.

• The default mapping assignments are restored for pads which are

cleared as described in “Clearing Samples”: PAD 1 to C2, PAD 2 to

C3, PAD 3 to C4, and PAD 4 to C5.

• If you press several keys simultaneously while mapping the last key

pressed take priority.

• Mapping assignments are retained even if new samples are recorded.

• Mapping is not possible for: pads that contain no data (“No Wave

Data” error); a key that is already mapped (“Same Note” error).

MAPPING

The PSR-2700 is backed up by the backup batteries and will remain in-

tact as long as a good set of batteries is installed. Even if no batteries are

installed the memory will be maintained as long as the power plug is con-

nected to an AC outlet. It is always a good idea, however, to save samples

you want to keep to floppy disk. You can save either single voices or the

entire contents of the sample memory to disk as required. Full instructions

on floppy disk use are given in the “Floppy Disk” section beginning on

page 56.

MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that

allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and

control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equip-

ment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.

Most MIDI keyboards transmit note and velocity (touch response) infor-

mation via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the key-

board. If the MIDI OUT connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector

of a second keyboard (synthesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a

synthesizer with no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will

respond precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard.

The result is that you can effectively play two instruments at once,

providing thick multi-instrument sounds. The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 also

transmit “program change” data when one of its voices is selected. Depend-

ing on how the receiving device is set up, the corresponding voice will be

automatically selected on the receiving keyboard or tone generator

whenever a voice is selected on the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700.

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 are capable of receiving the same MIDI

data, so a second MIDI keyboard connected to the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700

MIDI IN connector can be used to remotely play the instrument and select

voices as required.

MIDI

Although the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a built-in “sequencer”

(the Song Memory is a type of sequencer), the same type of musical infor-

mation transfer described above can be used for more sophisticated MIDI

sequence recording using an external sequencer or music computer. A MIDI

sequence recorder or music computer can be used to “record” MIDI data

received from a PSR-1700 or PSR-2700, for example. When the recorded

data is played back, the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 automatically “plays” the

recorded performance in precise detail.

NOTES

• Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters, since cables

longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

● MIDI Sequence Recording ......................................................................................................................

The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI de-

vice which can be used to control the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700. The MIDI

THRU connector re-transmits data received at the MIDI IN connector, al-

lowing “chaining” of several MIDI devices. The MIDI OUT connector

transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-1700 or PSR-2700 (e.g. note and

velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).

MIDI Reception Modes

The [RECEIVE CH/CL/COM] button is used to specify the reception mode for each of the 16 MIDI channels,

the internal or external clock mode, and MIDI start/stop command reception mode.

■ Channel Reception Modes

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 allow any of five reception modes to be individually assigned to MIDI chan-

nels 1 through 16. The five modes are:

Mode “0” RX OFF: Reception disabled.

Mode “1” MULTI: Received MIDI note data directly controls the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 tone

generator. Different voices can be played on different channels.

Mode “2” REMOTE: Received MIDI note data is handled in the same way as data from the

PSR-1700/PSR-2700’s own keyboard.

Mode “3” CHORD: Received MIDI note data is interpreted as Auto Accompaniment chord

commands.

Mode “4” ROOT: Received MIDI note data is interpreted as Auto Accompaniment bass note

commands .

MIDI

NOTES

• If the PSR-1700/2700 receives more than one note at the same time while mode “4” (Root) is

selected, the last note will be interpreted as the Auto Accompaniment bass note.

NOTES

• “Clock Rx” and “Cmnd Rx” will appear on the display if you increment

above channel number 16 or below channel number 1. These selec-

tions are used for the Clock Mode and Start/Stop Mode functions

described below.

• Be sure to set the transmit channel to the same channel specified in

mode 2, 3, or 4.

■ Clock Mode

Reception of an external MIDI clock signal can be enabled or disabled as required. When disabled, all of the

time-based functions (Auto Accompaniment, SONG MEMORY, etc.) are controlled by the PSR-1700/PSR-

2700’s own internal clock, the speed of which is set by the [TEMPO] button. When MIDI clock reception is

enabled, however, all timing is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN terminal

(the [TEMPO] setting has no effect).

NOTES

• If clock reception is enabled but no MIDI clock signal is received for more than 400

milliseconds, external clock reception is automatically disable and normal internal

clock operation resumes.

• If you attempt to change the tempo setting when MIDI clock reception is enabled,

“Tempo

q

=External” will appear on the LCD display panel.

ZPress the [RECEIVE CH/CL/COM] Button & Select “Clock Rx” .........................................................

Press the [RECEIVE CH/CL/COM] button, then use the [+] and [–]

buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the [RECEIVE CH/CL/

COM] button itself to select “Clock Rx” on the LCD display panel (“Clock

Rx” is the next step above MIDI channel 16).

Use the [+/–] button in the number-button row to select the desired clock

mode. The disable and enable modes are selected alternately each time the

[+/–] button is pressed, and the selected mode appears on the right digit of

the LCD display panel (“Clock Rx=0:Off” for disable; “Clock Rx:=1:On”

for enable).

MIDI Transmission

The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 allows independent MIDI transmit channels to be assigned to the L and R ORCHES-

TRATION voices. It is also possible to independently turn local control and MIDI output on or off for the L and R

voices.

MIDI

■ MIDI Transmit Channels

The L and R ORCHESTRATION voices can be independently set to transmit on any of the 16 MIDI channels as

follows:

ZPress the [L] or [R] TRANSMIT CH

Press the [L] button if you want to set the L voice transmit channel, or the [R]

to set the R voice transmit channel. The currently selected channel for the selected

voice will appear on the LCD display panel.

Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the [L] or [R]

button itself to select the desired transmit channel.

XSelect the Desired Transmit Channel...................................................................................................

NOTES

• The currently selected transmit channel is retained in memory even when the power switch is

turned off, as long as backup batteries are installed or an AC plug is connected.

• To record the Song Memory data to an external sequencer, start the sequencer running in the

record mode, press the [RESET] button, and then press the [PLAY/STOP] button.

• To record the Auto Accompaniment data to an external sequencer, start the sequencer run-

ning in the record mode, select the style you want to record, then start Auto Accompaniment

playback.

• Notes played on the keyboard are transmitted on channel 1 or 2 (selectable), Auto Accompa-

niment data is transmitted on channels 10 through 16, and Song Memory data is transmitted

on channels 3 through 8.

Normally the Auto Accompaniment Rhythm 1 and Rhythm 2 tracks are both transmitted on

channel 10. To transmit these tracks separately, hold the C1 key while turning the power on.

When this is done the Rhythm 1 data will be transmitted on channel 9 and the Rhythm 2 data

will be transmitted on channel 10.

The [LOCAL/MIDI OUT] buttons and indicators below the TRANSMIT CH [L] and [R] buttons can be

used to turn local control and MIDI output ON or OFF as required. The status of the LOCAL and MIDI OUT

indicators changes as shown below each time the corresponding [LOCAL/MIDI OUT] button is pressed:

NOTES

• When “LOCAL” control is turned ON (indicator lit), the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 is controlled by

its own keyboard. When “LOCAL” control is off, playing the keyboard produces no sound — it

can only be played by MIDI data received via the MIDI IN terminal.

• When MIDI OUT is turned ON (indicator lit), operating the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 produces

corresponding MIDI output. When MIDI OUT is turned OFF (indicator out) no MIDI output is

produced by the PSR-1700/PSR-2700.

• LOCAL & MIDI OUT ON/OFF controls note on/off only. All other data is always output auto-

matically.

• Since LOCAL & MIDI OUT ON/OFF status is memorized in the Registration Memory, you can

select the tone generator to be used (PSR-1700/PSR-2700 or an external tone generator) by

changing the registration memory.

• Auto accompaniment will not function when Left LOCAL OFF is selected. Auto accompani-

ment note on/off data will not be output when Left MIDI OUT OFF is selected.

■Voice & Polyphony List

The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 can play up to 28 individual notes at the same time (i.e. it has a maximum “po-

lyphony” of 28). This number includes all voices used: dual, split, auto accompaniment, song memory, and multi

pads. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded excess notes will be truncated (they will not sound).

Another feature affecting polyphony is the fact that some voices actually use two voices at once, as shown in

the voice list below. The effective maximum polyphony is correspondingly reduced when these voices are used.

NOTES

• The voice list includes the MIDI program numbers that control each voice when the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 is

played from an external MIDI device.

• An additional 26 notes are available in the PSR-2700 when a sampled voice is used. These notes are only avail-

able for the sampled voice.

Appendix

* The following voices use only one voice

in the indicated ranges: 46 (Pizzicato

Strings): all notes below C

#

2 and above

F5. 110 (Bagpipe): all notes above A

■ Error Messages

If an error occurs during operation of the PSR-1700/2700, one of the following error messages will appear so

you’ll know what went wrong and how to remedy the situation.

Disk-related Error Messages

You have attempted to load a file that cannot be loaded. Check the file number, select an

appropriate file and try again.

You have attempted to start the QUICK PLAY function with a disk that contains no files suit-

able for quick playback. Only Yamaha DOC files, SMF format-0 files, ESEQ files, or

PianoSoft files can be used with the Quick Play function.

The disk does not have sufficient capacity remaining for the file you have attempted to save.

Either delete unwanted data from the disk to make more room, or use a different disk.

You have attempted to execute a disk operation while no disk is loaded. Insert an appropriate

disk and try again.

You have attempted to save to, delete, or format a write-protected disk. Slide the floppy disk

write-protect tab to the write-enable position and try again.

The file you have attempted to delete or load cannot be found. This error message will also

appear if you specify a file number that has no data for deleting or loading.

You have attempted to save to or delete a write-protected file. Such files can not be

overwritten or deleted by the PSR-1700/2700.

An error occurred while reading data from the disk. If the error persists there could be some-

thing wrong with the floppy disk or the data on the disk might be corrupted. If possible try a

different disk.

You have specified a file name that already exists on the current disk. Try again and change

the name.

The loaded disk is not formatted for use with the PSR-1700/2700. Either format the disk or

replace it with an already-formatted disk.

An error occurred while writing data to the disk. Try the operation again. If the error persists

there could be something wrong with the floppy disk. Try re-formatting the disk. If this doesn’t

help, try a different disk.

You have attempted to save a file with a file name consisting of all spaces. Try again with a

different file name.

Appendix

The maximum of 255 “banks” of data has been exceeded (one pad contains one “bank”).

Clear all unnecessary pads and voice data before attempting to sample more data.

You have attempted to map or tune a pad or entering an original voice name that contains

no sampled voice data.

You have attempted to clear, record, or edit a pre-programmed disk voice file. In some

cases pre-programmed sampled voices (“Protected Voices”) can only be loaded.

You have attempted to map a pad to key to which another pad is already mapped. Map

either pad to a different key.

The wave RAM memory is full and can accept no more sampled voice data (the wave RAM

is 1,020 kilobytes). Clear all unnecessary pads and voice data before attempting to sample

more data.

You have inserted the wrong disk or a disk that does not contain the required data. Large

sampled voice data files may span more than one disk, and these must be inserted in the

correct order when loading the file. Check the disk number and try again.

■Troubleshooting

Something not working as it should? In many cases what appears to be a malfunction can be traced to a sim-

ple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PortaTone is faulty, please check the fol-

lowing points.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTIONPROBLEM

• You are probably exceeding the instrument’s maximum polyphony. The

PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 can play up to 28 notes at the same time —

including split, dual, auto-accompaniment, and multi pad notes. Notes

exceeding this limit will not sound. The same applies to the 26-note

polyphony of the PSR-2700 sampled voices.

• Not all simultaneously-played notes sound.

• Auto accompaniment won’t function prop-

erly. No lower keyboard sound.

• Auto accompaniment won’t sound right if you’re using SINGLE type

fingering when the SINGLE mode is not selected (page 27).

• Are you sure you’re playing in the Auto-Accompaniment section of the

keyboard?

• Are you playing chords that the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 can recog-

nize (see chord types on pages 26, 27, and 28)?

• The speakers produce a “pop” sound

whenever the power is turned ON or OFF.

• This is normal and is no cause for alarm.

• The orchestration part to which the voice is assigned must be turned

ON (page 11).

• Make sure that the voice volume parameter for the orchestration part to

which the voice is assigned is set to an appropriate level (page 14).

• The selected voice does not sound when

the keyboard is played.

• The edit mode for the voice to which the changes are to be applied must

be turned ON (page 13).

• Voice parameter changes do not affect the

desired voice.

• Some sections of some styles have no data in the rhythm track. Try

turning Auto Accompaniment on and fingering an appropriate chord —

the Auto Accompaniment should begin to play.

• No sound when rhythm started.

• You may have executed the clear function from a point in the middle of

the track, thus only clearing the data after that point. Press the [RESET]

button to go to the beginning of the track, then clear.

• Song Memory track indicator does not go

out when the track is cleared.

• LOCAL OFF is selected for the left- or right-hand section of the key-

board. Set to LOCAL ON (page 76).

• No sound when the keyboard is played.

■ GM System Level 1

The existing MIDI protocol allows performance and other data to be transferred between different instruments, even if

they are from different manufacturers. This means, for example, that sequence data that was originally created to control a

tone generator from manufacturer A can also be used to control a different tone generator from manufacturer B. Since the

voice allocation in different devices from different manufacturers is usually different, however, appropriate program change

data must be transmitted to select the right voices.

The General MIDI protocol was developed to minimize confusion and the need for re-programming when playing soft-

ware created by one MIDI device on another. This has been achieved by defining a standard voice allocation in which the

same or similar voices are accessed by the same program change numbers or MIDI channels. The current standard recog-

nized by the International MIDI Association is known as “GM System Level 1.” The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 voice allocation

complies with the GM System Level 1 standard.

*1. The following modes can be set individually for each channel via

the panel control:

Mode 00: Reception OFF.

Mode 01: Direct tone generator control.

Mode 02: Same as keyboard note on/off operation.

Mode 03: Same as auto-accompaniment chord fingering.

Mode 04: Same as the lowest-note (bass note) played in the

auto-accompaniment chord fingerings.

*2. Channel pressure handled as vibrato.

*3. For bank selection transmission only the MSB changes.
