PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-
circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not place the power 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.
Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage
is printed on the name plate of the instrument.
Use the specified adaptor (page 86) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in
damage to the instrument or overheating.
Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.
This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument
or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it
should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it
inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any
openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power
immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the
instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.
A burning item may fall over and cause a fire.
Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together
with old ones.
Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or
batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same
maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
Do not tamper with or disassemble batteries.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
Keep batteries away from children.
If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid
should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with
water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss
of sight or chemical burns.
Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity
markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid
leakage.
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.
When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch
and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. (If you are using batteries,
remove all batteries from the instrument.) Then have the device inspected by

Setting Up
Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an
AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not
deplete resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
1 Make sure that the [ ](Standby/On) switch of the
instrument is in the “Standby” position.
2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Using Batteries
1 Open the battery compartment cover located on the
instrument’s bottom panel.
2 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow
the polarity markings on the inside of the compart-
ment.
3 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it
locks firmly in place.
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V
AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline bat-
teries are recommended.) When battery power becomes
too low for proper operation, make sure to replace all
batteries, following the precautions listed below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User
data (see pages 50, 77).
• Use the specified adaptor (page 86). The use of other
adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the
adaptor and the instrument.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the
instrument, or during electrical storms.
• Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies
power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even
when batteries are installed.

NOTE
• Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, main-
taining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery
installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corro-
sive chemicals.
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a com-
plete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new bat-
teries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline
and manganese) at the same time.
• If the instrument will not be used for an extended period of
time, remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage.
• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instru-
ment. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable bat-
teries) may exhibit a sudden drop in power when the
batteries are low, possibly resulting in a loss of flash mem-
ory data.
• Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to
flash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can
be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries
do become drained during a data transfer, both the data
being transferred and the data currently in the transfer des-
tination will be lost.

Setting Up
Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on.
Connecting Headphones
(PHONES/OUTPUT Jack)
Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo
phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient
monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off
when a plug is inserted into this jack.
The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an
external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUT-
PUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system,
mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device
to send the instrument’s output signal to that device.
Connecting a Footswitch
(SUSTAIN Jack)
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain
as you play by pressing a footswitch. A Yamaha FC4
or FC5 footswitch plugged into this jack can be used
to switch sustain on and off.
Turning the Power On
The [ ](Standby/On) switch turns the power to the
instrument on ( ) or standby ( ). Turn down the
volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control
to the left and press the [ ](Standby/On) switch to
turn on the power. Press the [ ](Standby/On) switch
again to turn the power off.
While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level
by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control.
• Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for
long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear
fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing.
• To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the
external devices at the minimum setting before connecting
them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in elec-
tric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the
volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradu-
ally raise the volume controls while playing the instrument
to set the desired listening level.
WARNING
CAUTION
• The sustain function does not affect split voices.
• 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 foot-
switch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation.
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, elec-
tricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum
level. When you are not using the instrument for a long
time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from
the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the
instrument.

Creating Arpeggios
The arpeggio function lets you create arpeggios (broken chords) by simply playing the
required notes on the keyboard. For example, you could play the notes of a triad—the
root, third, and fifth—and the arpeggio function will automatically create a variety of
interesting arpeggio-type phrases. By changing the arpeggio type and the notes you
play it is possible to create a wide range of patterns and phrases that can be used for
music production as well as performance.

Press the ARPEGGIO [ON/OFF] button to turn the
arpeggio function on.
The indicator lights when the Arpeggio function is on.
2
Play a note or notes on the keyboard to trigger
Arpeggio playback.
The sound of the arpeggio produced will change according to the
number of notes you play and the area of the keyboard you play in.
When the split function is on, the arpeggio applies to the split voice.
The arpeggio applies to the main and dual voices when the split func-
tion is off. Arpeggios cannot be played using the split and main/dual
voices simultaneously.

Filter effects shape sound by allowing only a specified range of frequencies
to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” fre-
quency. Filter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like
sounds.
* Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass frequencies.

(Envelope Generator)
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over
time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower
for a violin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sus-
tain to most ideally match the music.
v Style Filter
In this case the knobs apply the filter effect to the style being played. Knob A
and Knob B have the same functions as for “

ceding page.
b Style Tempo
Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob
clockwise increases the tempo while rotating it counterclockwise decreases
the tempo. The knob’s center position produces the initial default tempo.

Select the voice you want to play on the keyboard.
For this example we want to use a synth-lead type voice, so select
“147 SquareLd” (Square-wave Lead).
2
Press the [ASSIGN] button as many times as neces-
sary to select “z FILTER” (“z” will appear in the
display).
Knob A can now be used to adjust the filter cutoff frequency, and
Knob B can be used to adjust the resonance.
3
Rotate Knob B to its maximum setting (all the way
to the right), then play with the right hand while
operating Knob A with the left hand.
Rotating the knob to the right while the volume is set to a high level can
result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce the volume level.
If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the ideal
settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the same
way, if the “
v STYLE FILTER” effect is selected, the knobs will be reset if
a different style is selected. If you create an original setting you like, it might
be a good idea to save it in the instrument’s Registration Memory (page 48)
so you can recall the same settings again at any time. You can also record
performances using original sounds you’ve created (page 43).

z FILTER
Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (see the Voice List of the separate Data List).
Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A while playing for some spacey,
floating 1980’s effects.
x EFFECT
Select a voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied,
and turn Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the “direct” sound of the
voice. You can then turn the Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and
richness to the voice.
c EG
Select a piano voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3
o’clock position. This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time
is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for
slow pieces.
v STYLE FILTER
Select style 42, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback
(pages 26–28). Set Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The
overall sound of the style should be a bit muffled, with the drums emphasized for
solid rhythmic impact.

Connecting to a Computer
This instrument can be connected to a computer to allow transfer of MIDI data or a file.
Connecting a Personal Computer
In order to be able to communicate with and use
instruments connected to your computer, the appropri-
ate driver software must be properly installed on your
computer. The USB-MIDI driver allows sequence
software and similar applications on your computer to
transmit and receive MIDI data to and from MIDI
devices via a USB cable. The USB-MIDI driver is
included on the CD-ROM. Installation of the USB-
MIDI driver is described on page 80.
Precautions when using the USB
terminal
When connecting the computer to the USB terminal,
make sure to observe the following points. Failing to
do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or
losing the data. If the computer or the instrument
freezes, restart the application software or the com-
puter OS, or turn the power to the instrument off then
on again.
Use an AB type USB cable of less than about 3
meters.
Before connecting the computer to the USB termi-
nal, exit from any power-saving mode of the com-
puter (such as suspended, sleep, standby).
Before turning on the power to the instrument, con-
nect the computer to the USB terminal.
Execute the following before turning the power to
the instrument on/off or plugging/unplugging the
USB cable to/from the USB terminal.
Quit any open application software on the com-
puter.
Make sure that data is not being transmitted
from the instrument. (Data is transmitted when-
ever you play on the keyboard or play back a
song, etc.)
While the computer is connected to the instrument,
you should wait for six seconds or more between
these operations: (1) when turning the power of the
instrument off then on again, or (2) when alternately
connecting/disconnecting the USB cable.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping
sound is temporarily produced.
This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical
power.
When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce
interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further
away from the instrument.
There is no sound even when the keyboard is played
or when a song or style 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.
Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 74.)
Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard
does not produce any sound.
When using the Dictionary function (page 65), the keys in the right hand
area are used only for entering the chord root and type.
The volume is too soft.
The sound quality is poor.
The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play.
The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play cor-
rectly.
The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel
settings are reset.
The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely
new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor.
The style or song does not play back when the
[START/STOP] button is pressed.
Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer
to “External Clock” on page 74.
The style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 62) is set to an appropriate level.
Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing?
Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 63).
Is the “ACMP ON” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing
press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show.
No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/
STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number
150 or a style between 162 and 174 (Pianist).
This is not a malfunction. Style number 150 and style numbers 162–174
(Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will
begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the
keyboard if style playback is turned on.
Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound
seems to be cut off.
The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual
voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the
same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the
accompaniment or song.
Some notes don’t sound when playing multiple notes
simultaneously on the keyboard, or some notes don’t
sound when playing arpeggios.
You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyph-
ony (the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously) of
the instrument. The instrument will play normally as long as no more than
32 notes are being played at once, both on the keyboard and by any auto-
matic playback functions.
The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the
opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch
cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the
sounds.
The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch
plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the
power.
The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple record-
ings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus,
the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note.
The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on.
Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off.
The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the
[ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed.
Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any style-
related function.

WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, shortcircuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/AC power adaptor Battery • Do not place the power 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. • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • Use the specified adaptor (page 86) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. Do not open • This instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Water warning • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Fire warning • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. • Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. • Do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage. • Do not tamper with or disassemble batteries. • Do not dispose of batteries in fire. • Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged. • Keep batteries away from children. • If the batteries do leak, avoid contact with the leaked fluid. If the battery fluid should come in contact with your eyes, mouth, or skin, wash immediately with water and consult a doctor. Battery fluid is corrosive and may possibly cause loss of sight or chemical burns. • Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage. • 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. If you notice any abnormality • When one of the following problems occur, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the electric plug from the outlet. (If you are using batteries, remove all batteries from the instrument.) Then have the device inspected by Yamaha service personnel. • The power cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged. • It emits unusual smells or smoke. • Some object has been dropped into the instrument. • There is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument. CAUTION Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/AC power adaptor Connections • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it. • Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms. • 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. • 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. Handling caution Location • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables. • When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. • 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. (7)-1 4 Owner’s Manual • Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. • Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors. • Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician. 1/2 Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed. Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use. Even when the [ ](Standby/On) switch is in the “Standby” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet. Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations. NOTICE To avoid the possibility of damage to the product, data or other property, follow the notices below.  Handling and Maintenance • Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may generate noise. • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.  Saving data • Some data items (page 50) are automatically saved as backup data in the internal memory even if you turn the power off. Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to external device such as a computer (page 77).  About copyrights • Copying of the commercially available musical data including but not limited to MIDI data and/or audio data is strictly prohibited except for your personal use. • This product incorporates and bundles computer programs and contents in which Yamaha owns copyrights or with respect to which it has license to use others’ copyrights. Such copyrighted materials include, without limitation, all computer software, style files, MIDI files, WAVE data, musical scores and sound recordings. Any unauthorized use of such programs and contents outside of personal use is not permitted under relevant laws. Any violation of copyright has legal consequences. DON’T MAKE, DISTRIBUTE OR USE ILLEGAL COPIES.  About functions/data bundled with the instrument • Some of the preset songs have been edited for length or arrangement, and may not be exactly the same as the original.  About this manual • The illustrations and LCD screens as shown in this manual are for instructional purposes only, and may appear somewhat different from those on your instrument. • Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft® Corporation in the United States and other countries. • The company names and product names in this manual are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies. (7)-1 2/2 Owner’s Manual 5 Logos GM System Level 1 “GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level. XGlite As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone generation format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator. However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects. USB USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with peripheral Devices. It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the computer is on). Stereo Sampled Piano The instrument has a special Portable Grand Piano Voice—created by state-of-the-art stereo sampling technology and using Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave memory) tone generation system. Touch Response The exceptionally natural Touch Response feature, with a convenient front panel on/off switch, gives you maximum expressive level control over the voices. It also works in conjunction with the Dynamic Filter, which dynamically adjusts the timbre or tone of a voice according to your playing strength—just a like a real musical instrument! STYLE FILE The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original style file format which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. 6 Owner’s Manual About this Owner’s Manual and Data List This manual consists of four main sections: “Setting Up,” “Quick Guide,” “Reference,” and “Appendix.” Also, a separate “Data List” is provided.

..............................................................8 Setting Up Setting Up Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power. Setting Up Power Requirements Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources. Using an AC Power Adaptor 1 Make sure that the [ ](Standby/On) switch of the instrument is in the “Standby” position. WARNING • Use the specified adaptor (page 86). The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument. 2 Connect the AC adaptor to the power supply jack. 3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. CAUTION • Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. 2 AC power adaptor 3 AC outlet For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V “AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batteries are recommended.) When battery power becomes too low for proper operation, make sure to replace all batteries, following the precautions listed below. If necessary, also make sure to save all important User data (see pages 50, 77). CAUTION Using Batteries 1 Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel. 2 Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment. 3 Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. NOTE • Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed. 10 Owner’s Manual • Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals. • When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries. Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese) at the same time. • If the instrument will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage. NOTICE • Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument. Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possibly resulting in a loss of flash memory data. • Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to flash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost. Setting Up Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on. Any pair of stereo headphones with a 1/4" stereo phone plug can be plugged in here for convenient monitoring. The speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device. Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack) Setting Up Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. A Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch plugged into this jack can be used to switch sustain on and off. NOTE • The sustain function does not affect split voices. • 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. WARNING • Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing. CAUTION • To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Turning the Power On The [ ](Standby/On) switch turns the power to the instrument on ( ) or standby ( ). Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [ ](Standby/On) switch to turn on the power. Press the [ ](Standby/On) switch again to turn the power off. While playing the keyboard, adjust the volume level by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control. CAUTION • Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

Owner’s Manual 21 Create Original Sounds The two knobs located in the lower left area of the panel can be used to add variations to the sound being played, transforming the sound in a variety of musical ways. Filter, envelope generator, and other effects can be assigned to the two knobs as required. In this section we’ll explain how effects can be assigned to the knobs, and provide a few tips for their use. Assigning Effects to the Knobs Repeatedly press the [ASSIGN] button to sequentially select the five effect combinations provided: z  x  c  v  b  z ... etc. The currently selected combination is shown in the display. NOTE Quick Guide • The assignable knob effects are pre-programmed in the pairs listed above. It is not possible to assign different effect combinations. NOTE • z–c affect the main and dual voices only. Split voices will not be affected. Styles and songs will also not be affected. v–b affect styles only. GrandPno 001 001 z Filter Filter Cutoff Filter Resonance Filter effects shape sound by allowing only a specified range of frequencies to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” frequency. Filter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like sounds. * Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass frequencies. Level Cutoff Frequency Knob A adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the brightness of the sound. Frequencies in this range are passed. Frequency Frequencies in this range are cut off. Level Resonance Frequency 22 Owner’s Manual Knob B adjusts the amount of resonance applied at the filter’s cutoff frequency. Increasing the resonance emphasizes the frequencies at the cutoff frequency, and thus “strengthens” the perceived effect of the filter. Create Original Sounds Effect Reverb Chorus Send Level Send Level c EG (Envelope Generator) Attack Time Release Time Reverb reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert hall or club, while chorus produces a layered “multi-instrument” effect. Knob A adjusts the depth of the reverb effect, and Knob B adjusts the depth of the chorus effect. Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower for a violin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sustain to most ideally match the music. Level Sustain Level ATTACK Key Played v Style Filter Filter Cutoff b Filter Resonance Style Tempo Tempo –No Effect– DECAY RELEASE Key Released Time Knob A adjusts attack time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach maximum level when a key is played). Knob B adjusts release time (the amount of time it takes for the sound to decay to silence after a key is released). Quick Guide x In this case the knobs apply the filter effect to the style being played. Knob A and Knob B have the same functions as for “z Filter” described on the preceding page. Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the tempo while rotating it counterclockwise decreases the tempo. The knob’s center position produces the initial default tempo. Owner’s Manual 23 Create Original Sounds Using the Knobs 1 Select the voice you want to play on the keyboard. 2 Press the [ASSIGN] button as many times as necessary to select “z FILTER” (“z” will appear in the display). For this example we want to use a synth-lead type voice, so select “147 SquareLd” (Square-wave Lead). SquareLd Quick Guide 147 “z” appears here. Knob A can now be used to adjust the filter cutoff frequency, and Knob B can be used to adjust the resonance. 3 Rotate Knob B to its maximum setting (all the way to the right), then play with the right hand while operating Knob A with the left hand. Filter Cutoff Filter Resonance Rotating the knob to the right while the volume is set to a high level can result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce the volume level. If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the ideal settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the same way, if the “v STYLE FILTER” effect is selected, the knobs will be reset if a different style is selected. If you create an original setting you like, it might be a good idea to save it in the instrument’s Registration Memory (page 48) so you can recall the same settings again at any time. You can also record performances using original sounds you’ve created (page 43). Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are first operated after the new effect has been selected. 24 Owner’s Manual NOTE • Try Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices (page 16) Create Original Sounds The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects that can be assigned to the knobs. Some Ideas for Using the Knobs Try This z FILTER Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (see the Voice List of the separate Data List). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A while playing for some spacey, floating 1980’s effects. x EFFECT Select a voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied, and turn Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the “direct” sound of the voice. You can then turn the Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and richness to the voice. c EG Select a piano voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3 o’clock position. This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time is quite long so play the keys and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for slow pieces. v STYLE FILTER Select style 42, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback (pages 26–28). Set Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The overall sound of the style should be a bit muffled, with the drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact. b STYLE TEMPO Play a style and/or arpeggio and use Knob A to adjust the tempo. Owner’s Manual Quick Guide Number/Effect 25 Playing Styles This instrument has an auto accompaniment feature that produces accompaniment (rhythm + bass + chords) in the style you choose to match chords you play with your left hand.

No amendment or revision of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing and signed by a fully authorized representative of Yamaha. Troubleshooting Appendix Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style 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. Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 74.) Playing keys in the right hand area of the keyboard does not produce any sound. When using the Dictionary function (page 65), the keys in the right hand area are used only for entering the chord root and type. The batteries are low or dead. Replace all six batteries with completely The volume is too soft. new ones, or use the optional AC adaptor. The sound quality is poor. The rhythm stops unexpectedly or will not play. The recorded data of the song, etc. does not play correctly. The LCD display suddenly goes dark, and all panel settings are reset. The style or song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on page 74. The style does not sound properly. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 62) is set to an appropriate level. This is not a malfunction. Style number 150 and style numbers 162–174 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts, so no rhythm will play. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on. Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or song. Some notes don’t sound when playing multiple notes simultaneously on the keyboard, or some notes don’t sound when playing arpeggios. You have exceeded 32 simultaneous notes, which is the maximum polyphony (the maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously) of the instrument. The instrument will play normally as long as no more than 32 notes are being played at once, both on the keyboard and by any automatic playback functions. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds. The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note. Appendix No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/ STOP] button is pressed after selecting style number 150 or a style between 162 and 174 (Pianist). Reference Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the cords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 63). Is the “ACMP ON” indicator showing in the display? If it is not showing press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button so that it does show. The wrong notes sound when the keyboard is played. Perhaps the performance assistant technology is turned on. Press the [PERFORMANCE ASSISTANT] button to turn it off. The ACMP ON indicator does not appear when the [ACMP ON/OFF] button is pressed. Always press the [STYLE] button first when you are going to use any stylerelated function. Owner’s Manual 85 Specifications Keyboards MIDI • 61 standard-size keys (C1–C6), with Touch Response.

PORTABLE KEYBOARDS (NP, PSR-E, YPG AND YPT SERIES) Thank you for selecting a Yamaha product. Yamaha products are designed and manufactured to provide a high level of defect-free performance. Yamaha Corporation of America (“Yamaha”) is proud of the experience and craftsmanship that goes into each and every Yamaha product. Yamaha sells its products through a network of reputable, specially authorized dealers and is pleased to offer you, the Original Owner, the following Limited Warranty, which applies only to products that have been (1) directly purchased from Yamaha’s authorized dealers in the fifty states of the USA and District of Columbia (the “Warranted Area”) and (2) used exclusively in the Warranted Area. Yamaha suggests that you read the Limited Warranty thoroughly, and invites you to contact your authorized Yamaha dealer or Yamaha Customer Service if you have any questions. Coverage: Yamaha will, at its option, repair or replace the product covered by this warranty if it becomes defective, malfunctions or otherwise fails to conform with this warranty under normal use and service during the term of this warranty, without charge for labor or materials.
