PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock,

short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable

parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immedi-

ately and have it inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill

into any openings.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a

sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual

smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the

power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the

instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-3C or PA-3B or an equivalent recommended

by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the

instrument or overheating.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the

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

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may

have accumulated on it.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the

instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or

radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,

place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk

on, trip over, or roll anything over it.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always

hold the plug itself and not the cord.

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-con-

nector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause over-

heating in the outlet.

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

electrical storms.

• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/-

polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, ﬁre, or bat-

tery ﬂuid leakage.

• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries

together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline bat-

teries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or dif-

ferent types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause

overheating, ﬁre, or battery ﬂuid leakage.

• Do not dispose of batteries in ﬁre.

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

• When the batteries run out, or if the instrument is not to be used for a long

time, remove the batteries from the instrument to prevent possible leakage

of the battery ﬂuid.

• Keep batteries away from children.

• If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked ﬂuid. If the battery

ﬂuid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immedi-

ately with water and consult a doctor. Battery ﬂuid is corrosive and may

possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns.

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off

the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all

components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the

volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the

volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening

level.

• Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme

cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the

day) to prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the inter-

nal components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi-

sions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can

affect proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acci-

dentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other

cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thin-

ners, solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since

this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and

do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the stand

or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage

to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-

fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper

use or modiﬁcations to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-175/172 for playing. Make sure to

read this section carefully before using the instrument.

Power Requirements

Although the PSR-175/172 will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batter-

ies, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adap-

tor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.

■ Using an AC Power Adaptor • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

To connect your PSR-175/172 to a wall socket, you will need the optionally avail-

able Yamaha PA-3C or PA-3B Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could

result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind.

Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the PSR-175/172 is set to

STANDBY.

Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN 12V jack on the rear panel of your

PSR-175/172, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.

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

● Inserting Batteries

Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the battery compartment lid. Insert

six 1.5-volt “D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries as shown in the illustra-

tion, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned,

and replace the lid.

● When the Batteries Run Down

When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the

PSR-175/172 may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens,

replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.

Turning On the Power

With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply move the

STANDBY switch until it is set to the ON position. When the instrument is not in

use, be sure to turn the power off.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C or

PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or

other adaptor speciﬁcally rec-

ommended by Yamaha) to

power your instrument from

the AC mains. The use of other

adaptors may result in irrepa-

rable damage to both the adap

tor and the PSR-175/172.

• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor

when not using the PSR-175/

172, or during electrical

storms.

• Never mix old and new batter-

ies or different types of batter-

ies (e.g., alkaline and

manganese).

• To prevent possible damage

from battery leakage, remove

the batteries from the instru-

ment if it is not to be used for a

long time.

• Even when the switch is in the

“STANDBY” position, electric-

ity is still ﬂowing to the instru-

ment at the minimum level.

When you are not using the

PSR-175/172 for a long time,

make sure you unplug the AC

power adaptor from the wall

AC outlet, and/or remove the

batteries from the instrument.

Setting Up

Accessory Jacks

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

For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of ste-

reo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack. Sound from the built-

in speaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into

this jack.

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

Though the PSR-175/172 is equipped with a built-in speaker system, you can also

play it through an external ampliﬁer/speaker system. First, make sure the PSR-

175/172 and any external devices are turned off, then connect one end of a stereo

audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the other device and the other

end to the rear panel PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the PSR-175/172.

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

This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain

the sound of the keyboard voice. This is used in the same way as a damper pedal

on an acoustic piano — press and hold down the footswitch as you play the key-

board to sustain the sound.

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

The PSR-175/172 also features MIDI terminals, allowing you to interface the

PSR-175/172 with other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more information,

see page 52.)

• To prevent damage to the

speakers, set the volume of the

external devices at the mini-

mum setting before connect-

ing them. Failure to observe

these cautions may result in

electric shock or equipment

damage. Also, be sure to set

the volumes of all devices at

their minimum levels and grad

ually raise the volume controls

while playing the instrument to

set the desired listening level.

• Make sure that the footswitch

plug is properly connected to the

SUSTAIN jack before turning on

the power.

• Do not press the footswitch while

turning the power on. Doing this

changes the recognized polarity

of the footswitch, resulting in

reversed footswitch operation.

The powerful yet easy-to-use Auto Accompaniment features give

you professional instrumental backing for your performances. Sim-

ply play chords with your left hand — and the PSR-175/172 auto-

matically produces appropriate bass, chord and rhythm backing.

Use your right hand to play melodies, and you’ll sound like an entire

band!

Select one of the Lesson songs.

For instructions on selecting songs, see page 29.

Select the part you wish to work on (left or

right) and the Lesson step.

If you want to work on the right-hand part, press the

[R] button; to work on the left, press the [L] button.

Timing

• Each press of the corresponding button ([L] or [R]) alternately selects

Lessons 1 - 3. Pressing both buttons simultaneously calls up Lesson

4, Both Hands.

Using the Lesson Feature

All of the PSR-175/172 songs can be used with the educational Lesson feature. Lesson makes it fun and easy to master these

songs. You can practice the left- and right-hand parts of each song individually: simply press the appropriate button, [L] (left)

or [R] (right). The practice steps below apply to either hand.

Lesson 1 — Timing . . . . . . . . .This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes.

Lesson 2 — Waiting . . . . . . . .In this lesson step, the PSR-175/172 waits for you to play the correct notes before continu-

ing playback of the song.

Lesson 3 — Minus One . . . . .This lesson step plays back the song with one part muted — letting you play and master the

missing part yourself.

Lesson 4 — Both Hands . . . . .This lesson step is the same as “Minus One,” except in that both the left- and right-hand

parts are muted — letting you play and master both hands.

Start the Lesson.

When you’re ﬁnished, stop the Lesson.

• You can also exit from the Lesson by pressing one of the LESSON

buttons ([L] or [R]) repeatedly until “OFF” is shown in the display.

Step 4 Lesson

Grade

The PSR-175/172 has a built-in evaluation function that

monitors your practicing and — like a real teacher — tells

you how well you did each exercise. Four grades are

assigned, depending on your performance: “OK,” “Good,”

“Very Good,” and “Excellent.”

Want to ﬁnd out more? See page 39.

Talking

This feature “talks” to you through the speakers,

“announcing” the Grade comments as well as the titles of

the Lesson steps.

Want to ﬁnd out more? See page 40.

Changing the Tempo

Naturally, you can change the tempo (speed) of the song

to your liking, letting you slow down difﬁcult passages

and bring up the tempo gradually until you master them at

normal speed.

Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button.

Use the numeric keypad to set the desired

tempo.

TEMPO

116

• The PSR-175/172 also has a convenient Tap Tempo function that

allows you to “tap” a new tempo in real time. (See page 44.)

This step lets you work on the timing of the notes. In Les-

son 1, the particular note you play on the keyboard is

unimportant. The PSR-175/172 checks your timing and

how rhythmically “tight” your playing is.

Want to ﬁnd out more? See page 36.

In Lesson 2, you practice playing the notes correctly as

they appear in the display notation. The accompaniment

pauses and waits for you to play the notes correctly before

it continues.

Want to ﬁnd out more? See page 37.

In Lesson 3, one of the parts is muted, and you practice

the missing part in time with the rhythm.

Want to ﬁnd out more? See page 37.

Lesson 4 is just like Lesson 3, except that the parts for

both hands are muted, letting you practice the missing

parts in time with the rhythm.

Lesson steps 1 - 3 can be used with DJ play. Press either the [L] or [R] but-

ton, repeatedly if necessary, until the desired Lesson step is called up.

You can play with the DJ feauture by using the Multi pads or the keyboard.

In the case of the keyboard, the DJ voice is divided into “blocks” (as shown

below). Each block has a different sound.

For Lesson 1, any note on the keyboard can be played. For the other Lesson

steps, play the appropriate octave block.

Once the song starts playing and the DJ “teacher” says “Go,” play the appro-

priate block as indicated in the display. (When Talking is on, the blocks are

also “announced” in Lesson 2.)

When the DJ “teacher” is playing, the block numbers appear in the display

one after another according to the rhythm.

reason, Lesson 3 and Lesson 4

are identical.

• Try playing one of the special DJ

voices (#098, #099) with the DJ

Selecting and Playing Voices

The PSR-175/172 features 100 authentic voices that have been created with Yamaha’s sophisti-

cated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. Many of these voices also have

special preset characteristics or embellishments. The voices are divided into various catego-

ries depending on their characteristics or the effects used.

Selecting and Playing a Voice

1 Press the [VOICE] button.

2 Select the desired voice number.

Use the numeric keypad. The basic categories of voices and their numbers

are shown on the panel.

There are two ways to select voices: 1) directly entering the voice number

with the numeric keypad, or 2) using the [+]/[-] buttons to step up and down

through the voices.

Selecting and Playing Voices

■ Using the numeric keypad

Enter the digits of the voice number as printed on the panel. For example, to

select voice #042, press “0” on the numeric keypad, then “4.”, “2.” For voice

numbers beginning with zeroes (such as #042 or #006), the initial zeroes

may be omitted. In this case, there is a short pause before the indication

appears.

■ Using the [+]/[-] buttons

Press the [+] button to select the next voice number, and press the [-] button

to select the previous voice. Holding down either key continuously scrolls

up or down through the numbers.

3 Play the selected voice.

Fr.Horn

TEMPO

116

• Each voice is automatically

called up with the most suitable

octave range setting. Thus, play-

ing middle C with one voice may

sound higher or lower than

another voice at the same key.

• Four of the Organ voices are

effect “pairs.” Switching between

each of the paired voices (with

the [+]/[-] buttons) turns the effect

of the voice on or off. For exam-

ple, for the Vibrato pair (#010 and

#011), selecting #010 turns the

vibrato effect off, while selecting

#011 turns vibrato on. The same

applies to the Harmony, Attack

and Wave voices (#012 - #017).

• You can select the One Touch

Setting Voice (#000) by pressing

both [+]/[-] buttons simulta-

neously. (See page 26.)

• The PSR-175/172 is polyphonic

up to a maximum of 16 notes.

(Depending on the voice selected

— such as split voices and dual

voices — fewer notes may be

available.) This includes not only

the notes played from the key-

board, but also the notes in a

style pattern, the notes played by

a Pad (page 51), and so on.

Thus, if you play too many notes

at one time, some may not sound

and/or others may be cancelled.

Selecting and Playing Voices

Harmony voices (#059 - #068) automatically add a one-, two- or three-note har-

mony to the original voice. Split voices (#069 - #073) feature two separate

voices, each playable from opposite sections of the keyboard — the lower voice

playable up to B2 and the upper voice from C3 (middle C). Sustain voices (#074

- #078) have a special sustained release for playing slower or legato passages.

Echo voices (#079 - #088) provide an echo effect that adds delayed repeats to the

original voice. Dual voices (#089 - #097) blend two voices together for a rich,

layered sound.

There’s even a dynamic set of DJ voices (#098 - #099) that provides a wealth of

exciting sounds for playing many of today’s popular music styles. The PSR-175/

172 also features special Drum Kit voices — #088 (with Echo) and #100 — that

let you play a variety of drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to

the Drum Kit Voice Chart below.) Icons representing each sound are printed

above the keyboard, conveniently indicating which sounds are played from which

keys.

About the Harmony voices

• Since Harmony voices are

designed to automatically play

two or more notes with the notes

you play on the keyboard, only

one note can be played on the

keyboard at a time. If several

notes are played together, only

the last note or highest note

played will be used for the har-

mony effect.

Transpose and Tuning

You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the PSR-175/

172 with the Transpose and Tuning functions.

■ Transpose • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompa-

niment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs and the

Multi Pads. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PSR-175/172 to other

instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your ﬁngering.

The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1

octave).

1 Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.

Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until “TRANSPOS”

appears in the display.

2 Change the value.

Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Transpose value (-12 - +12). To

transpose the pitch down, simultaneously press the [-] button and use the

numeric keypad to type in the (negative) value. You can also use the [+]/[-]

buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down either button con-

tinuously increases or decreases the value.

Song Lesson

The Lesson feature provides an exceptionally fun and easy-to-use way to learn how to read

music and play the keyboard. All of the 100 songs of the PSR-175/172 can be used with these

educational features. Lesson lets you practice the left- and right-hand parts of each song

independently, step by step, until you’ve mastered them and are ready to practice with both

hands together. These practices are divided into four Lesson steps, as described below. Les-

sons 1 - 3 apply to each hand; press the appropriate button, L (left) or R (right) to select the

desired part for practice.

■ Lesson 1 — Timing

This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes — any note

can be used, as long as you play in rhythm.

■ Lesson 2 — Waiting

In this lesson step, the PSR-175/172 waits for you to play the correct notes

before continuing playback of the song.

■ Lesson 3 — Minus One

This lesson step plays back the song with one part muted, letting you play

and master the missing part yourself — in rhythm and at the proper tempo.

■ Lesson 4 — Both Hands

Lesson 4 is a “Minus One” practice essentially the same as Lesson 3,

except that both the left- and right-hand parts are muted — letting you play

and master both hands at the same time.

Using the Lesson Feature

1 Select one of the Lesson songs.

Press the [SONG] button, then use the numeric keypad or [+]/[-] buttons to

select the desired song (from 001 - 100).

Many of the songs are divided into different categories or music genres,

including Piano/Classical, World and Christmas, plus a special set of DJ

Game songs.

Song Lesson

Lesson 1 — Timing

This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes — any note can be

used, as long as you play in rhythm. Pick a note to play. For the left hand, use a

note in the auto accompaniment section or play the appropriate left-hand note; for

the right, play a note above F#2. Simply concentrate on playing each note in time

with the rhythmic accompaniment.

1 Select one of the songs.

2 Select Lesson 1.

Press the [L] or [R] button (repeatedly, if necessary) until Lesson 1 is indi-

cated.

3 Play the appropriate melody or chord with the song.

After the lead-in, the song starts automatically, and the appropriate notes

appear in the display. In Lesson 1, simply play one note repeatedly in time

with the music.

Regarding chords and the use of the left hand, the PSR-175/172 actually has

two different types of songs: 1) songs with normal left-hand chords, and 2)

songs in which the left hand plays arpeggios or melodic ﬁgures in combina-

tion with the right.

In the case of the ﬁrst type, play the chords with your left hand in the auto

accompaniment section of the keyboard.

• The melody note does not sound

unless your playing is in time with

the rhythm.

Lesson 3 — Minus One

This lesson step lets you practice one part of the song in rhythm at the proper

tempo. The PSR-175/172 plays back the song accompaniment with one part

muted (either the left part or the right)— letting you play and master the missing

part yourself. The notes you are to play are shown continuously in the display as

the song plays back.

Selecting and Playing Styles

The PSR-175/172 provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns — as well as voice set-

tings appropriate for each pattern — for various popular music styles.

A total of 100 different styles are available, in several different categories. Each style is made up of separate

“sections” — Intro, Main A and B (with 2 Fill-ins), and Ending — letting you call up different accompaniment

patterns as you perform.

The auto accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to

your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto accompaniment effec-

tively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (labeled

“ACMP” above the keyboard, at F#2) is for the auto accompaniment function.

The PSR-175/172 also features the convenient Dictionary function. Dictionary provides you with a built-in

“chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play any chord you specify by showing you the appropriate notes

in the display.

Selecting and Playing a Style

1 Press the [STYLE] button.

2 Select the desired style number.

Use the numeric keypad. Available styles are listed at the center of the panel.

Style numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page

Style Sections (Main A, Main B) and Fill-ins

While the style is playing you can create dynamic variation in the rhythm and

accompaniment by pressing the [MAIN/AUTO FILL] button. This switches

between the Main A and Main B sections, automatically playing a ﬁll-in pattern to

smoothly lead into the next section. For example, if the Main A section is cur-

rently playing, pressing this button automatically plays a ﬁll-in pattern, followed

by the Main B section.

You can also select either the Main A or B section to start by pressing the [MAIN/

AUTO FILL] button before starting the style.

• To have the Ending section grad-

ually slow down (ritardando) as it

is playing, press the [INTRO/

ENDING/rit.] button twice quickly.

• Each style has been given a

default or standard tempo. When

style playback is stopped and a

different style is selected, the

switching styles during playback,

the last tempo setting is main-

tained. (This allows you to keep

the same tempo, even when

changing styles.)

Using Auto Accompaniment — Multi Fingering

The auto accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accom-

paniment for you to play along with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can

change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the ACMP section of

the keyboard using either the “Single Finger” or “Fingered” method. With Single

Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-ﬁnger chord indication (see Sin-

gle Finger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally play-

ing all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the PSR-175/172

“understands” what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the

accompaniment.

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

Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh

and minor seventh. The illustration below shows how to produce the four chord

types. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules.

For example, Bb7 is played as Bb and A.)

■ Fingered Chords • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that

can be recognized in the Fingered mode.

Fingered Chords in the Key of C

To play a major chord:

Press the root note of

the chord.

To play a minor chord:

Press the root note

together with the nearest

black key to the left of it.

To play a seventh chord:

Press the root note

together with the nearest

white key to the left of it.

To play a minor seventh

chord: Press the root note

together with the nearest

white and black keys to

the left of it (three keys

altogether).

* Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be

recognized without them.

If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played

as G-C-E), the PSR-175/172 will still recog-

nize it as a C chord. The chord recognition

system also has the following rules and

exceptions:

• Minor 6th chords are recognized only in

root position, however; all other inversions

are interpreted as minor 7th/ﬂatted 5th.

• If augmented and diminished 7th chords

are inverted, the lowest note will be recog-

nized as the root.

• 7th ﬂatted 5th chords may be played with

the lowest note as the root or the ﬂatted

7th.

• Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords

are interpreted as simple augmented and

diminished.

• The following chords are not recognized :

B minor 6, B

minor 6, and B augmented.

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

The simple answer: Three or more notes played simultaneously is a chord. (Two notes played

together is an “interval” — an interval being the distance between two different notes. This is also

referred to as a “harmony.”) Depending on the intervals between the three or more notes, a chord

can sound beautiful or muddy and dissonant.

The organization of notes in the example at left — a triad chord — pro-

duces a pleasant, harmonious sound. Triads are made up of three notes

and are the most basic and common chords in most music.

In this triad, the lowest note is the “root.” The root is the most important note in the chord, because

it anchors the sound harmonically by determining its “key” and forms the basis for how we hear the

other notes of the chord.

The second note of this chord is four semitones higher than the ﬁrst, and the third is three semitones

higher than the second. Keeping our root note ﬁxed and changing these notes by a semitone up or

down (sharp or ﬂat), we can create four different chords.

Keep in mind that we can also change the “voicing” of a chord — for example, change the order of

the notes (called “inversions”), or play the same notes in different octaves — without changing the

basic nature of the chord itself.

Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner. The use of intervals and chords is one of

the most important elements in music. A wide variety of emotions and feelings can be created

depending on the types of chords used and the order in which they are arranged.

Knowing how to read and write chord names is an easy yet invaluable skill. Chords are often writ-

ten in a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and gives you the freedom to

play them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer). Once you understand the basic principles

of harmony and chords, it’s very simple to use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song.

First, write the root note of the chord in an uppercase letter. If you need to specify sharp or ﬂat,

indicate that to the right of the root. The chord type should be indicated to the right as well. Exam-

ples for the key of C are shown below.

One important point: Chords are made up of notes “stacked” on top of each other, and the stacked

notes are indicated in the chord name of the chord type as a number — the number being the dis-

tance of the note from the root. (See the keyboard diagram below.) For example, the minor 6th

chord includes the 6th note of the scale, the major 7th chord has the 7th note of the scale, etc.

used to represent them in the chord name, study this

Multi Pads

These convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmic

phrases as you play the PSR-175/172. There are a total of 40 different sounds or

phrases (10 banks, with four pad sounds for each bank). The phrases play back at

the same speed as the Tempo setting, and they also change harmonically along

with the accompaniment chords (both in the Style and Song modes).

1 Select the Pad function in the Overall menu.

Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until MULTI PAD is

selected in the display.

2 Select the desired bank.

Use the numeric keypad to select the desired bank number (1 - 10). You can

also use the [+]/[-] buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down

either button continuously increases or decreases the value. For a complete

list of the available banks and their contents, see page 57.

3 Play the Multi Pads.

Press one of the Pads. The phrase plays uninterrupted until it is ﬁnished.

Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase completely plays back) creates a

“stutter” effect.

In the Style mode, melodic-type sounds correctly follow the chord changes.

All sounds play back in perfect time with the current Tempo setting. When

One Touch Setting (page 26) is on, appropriate Multi Pad banks for the

selected style are automatically called up. This applies to the DJ and Portable

Grand features as well.

MIDI

The PSR-175/172 also features MIDI terminals, allow-

ing you to interface the PSR-175/172 with other MIDI

instruments and devices.

■ About MIDI• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a worldwide standard that is built into many elec-

tronic musical instruments and other digital music related devices, allowing them to be connected

and “communicate” with each other.

For two MIDI instruments to communicate, they must be connected by MIDI cables. In a basic

example, the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals of the PSR-175/172 could be connected to the

MIDI OUT and MIDI IN terminals of a sequencer, allowing you to record and play back perfor-

mance data from the PSR-175/172.

The instruments communicate with each other by sending “messages” or MIDI data. The sending

instrument usually assigns the data to one of sixteen MIDI channels, then transmits it over the

MIDI cable. The cable itself, however, is not divided up into sixteen channels. Just as with a tele-

vision set that receives programs on different channels, it is up to the receiving instrument to “tune

into” the proper MIDI channel. If the sending and receiving channels on the respective instruments

do not match, the receiving instrument may not understand or respond to the one sending.

■ How Can MIDI be Used? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

In the simple, yet powerful MIDI application example below, the Yamaha

QY70 Music Sequencer is used to record and play back performance data

played on the PSR-175/172 keyboard.

Before actually recording to the sequencer, press the [ACCOMPANIMENT

ON/OFF] button once or twice to make sure that the current settings are

sent.

• On the PSR-175/172, the following chan-

nels (eight total) are enabled for MIDI

reception: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10. The MIDI

transmit channels are ﬁxed to the following

data:

Ch. 1 : Keyboard, harmony

Ch. 2 : Bass

Ch. 3 : Chord

Ch. 4 - 7 : Other

Ch. 10 : Rhythm

• Parts that have been recorded using the

PSR-175/172 should also be played back

from the PSR-175/172. Data may not play

back as expected when using other sound

sources (such as the internal sounds of the

QY70). Also, a connected sound source

may sound at a different octave from that

originally played on the PSR-175/172.

• MIDI data cannot be transmitted during

song playback.

• Avoid using MIDI cables 15 meters or

longer, since doing so can result in MIDI

errors.

Viewing the Notation for MIDI Channel 1

• The PSR-175/172 has a special function

that lets you view the notes of the MIDI data

(channel 1 only) on the display.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the PSR-175/172 is turned on or off, a pop-

ping sound is temporarily produced.

This is normal and indicates that the PSR-175/172 is receiving electrical power.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PSR-175/172 may produce inter-

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

PSR-175/172.

The sound of the voices or rhythms seems unusual

or strange.

The battery power is too low. Replace the batteries. (See page 8.)

There is no sound even when the keyboard is

played or when a Song is being played back.

Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel.

When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.

When playing back one of the Pianist styles (#081 -

#100), the rhythm cannot be heard.

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

paniment. The accompaniment of the style can only be heard when accompani-

ment is set to ON and keys are played in the auto accompaniment section of the

keyboard.

The auto accompaniment doesn’t turn on, even

when pressing the [ACCOMPANIMENT ON/OFF]

button.

Make sure the Style mode is active before using the auto accompaniment. Press

the [STYLE] button to enable style operations.

Not all notes are heard when playing a number of

notes simultaneously.

Too many keys are pressed at the same time. The PSR-175/172 is polyphonic

up to a maximum of 16 notes.

Playing keys in the right hand section of the key-

board does not produce any sound.

When using the Dictionary function (page 41), the keys in the right hand section

are used only for entering the chord root and type.

The accompaniment does not sound properly. Make sure that the Accompaniment Volume (page 47) is set to an appropriate lev-

el.

The Multi Pad sound is cut off or sounds unusual. The PSR-175/172 is polyphonic up to a maximum of 16 notes. If a style or song

is playing back at the same time a Multi Pad is played, some notes/sounds of the

Multi Pad may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or song.

The sound of the voice changes from note to note. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an in-

strument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice

may be slightly different from note to note.

The notes shown in the music staves and keyboard

diagram in the display do not match the keys actual-

ly played.

When auto accompaniment is on, the display shows the specific notes of the

chords you play in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. If you play

a single finger chord, or an inversion of a chord, the corresponding chord will be

appropriately displayed — even if the display does not exactly match the pressed

keys.
