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

■ 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.

● An AC adaptor, if used (the PSR-320/420 runs

from either batteries or an optional AC adaptor),

should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the

instrument is not to be used for an extended pe-

riod of time.

● Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms.

● Avoid plugging the AC adaptor 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, operation errors, and

possibly damage.

■ Turn Power OFF When Making

Connections

● To avoid damage to the instrument and other

devices to which it is connected, turn the power

switches of all related devices OFF prior to con-

necting or disconnecting 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

result 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 sur-

face).

■ Electrical Interference

● This instrument contains digital circuitry and

may cause interference if placed too close to

radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move

the instrument further away from the affected

equipment.

■ Data Backup

● Internal data (registration memory and song

data) will be retained in memory even if the

power switch is turned OFF as long as an AC

power adaptor is connected or batteries are in-

stalled.

■ Service and Modification

● The PSR-320/420 contains no user serviceable

parts. Opening it or tampering with it in anyway

can lead to irreparable damage and possibly

electric shock. Refer all servicing to qualified

YAMAHA personnel.

Power Supply

Your PSR-320/420 will run either from batteries or an optional power adap-

tor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to

use.

• Never interrupt the power

supply (e.g. remove the batter-

ies or unplug the AC adaptor)

during any PSR-320/420 record

operation! Doing so can result

in a loss of data.

■ Using Batteries...............................................................................................................................................

For battery operation the PSR-320/420 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D”

size, R-20 or equivalent batteries.

When the batteries need to be replaced “Btry Low” will appear on the

display. Also the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and

other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and either

replace the batteries or connect an AC adaptor.

Replace the batteries as follows:

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

panel.

XInsert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings

on the inside of the compartment.

CReplace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.

• When the batteries run down,

replace them with a complete

set of six new batteries.

NEVER mix old and new batter-

ies.

• 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 instru-

ment if it is not to be used for

an extended period of time.

Setting Up

This section contains information about setting up your PSR-320/

420 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section

carefully before using your PSR-320/420.

• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5, PA-

5B, or PA-5C AC Power Adap-

tor to power your instrument

from the AC mains. The use of

other adaptors may result in

irreparable damage to both the

adaptor and the PSR-320/420.

■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor.............................................................

Plug the DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-5, PA-5B, or PA-

5C AC Power Adaptor into the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the PSR-

320/420, then plug the Power Adaptor (or the AC cable of the Power Adap-

tor) into a convenient wall AC power socket. The internal batteries are auto-

matically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.

■ The PHONES Jack...................................................................................................................................

A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private

practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is auto-

matically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES

jack.

Setting Up

■ SUSTAIN Jack...................................................................................................................................................

An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the rear-

panel SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the

damper pedal on a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound.

• Be sure that you do not press the

pedal while turning the power on.

If you do, the ON/OFF status of

the footswitch will be reversed.

■ MIDI IN and OUT Connectors.............................................................................................

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

vice (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the PSR-320/

420. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-

320/420 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).

More details on MIDI are provided on page 56.

The PSR-320/420 is supplied with a mu-

sic stand that can be attached to the instru-

ment by inserting it into the slot at the rear

of the control panel.

• The PHONES jack can also be

used to deliver the output of the

PSR-320/420 to a keyboard

amplifier, stereo sound system,

mixing console or tape recorder.

The Split Mode

The SPLIT mode lets you play different voices with the left and right hands.

You could, for example, play bass with the left hand while playing piano with

the right. The right-hand voice is the keyboard voice you select in the normal

way (page 12), and the left hand voice is selected via the SPLIT VOICE func-

tion, described below. The “split point” is initially set at B2 (note number 59),

but it can be set at any key on the keyboard.

The SPLIT mode is engaged by pressing the [MODE] button so that the

indicator in the display appears next to “SPLIT” in the mode list to the right of

the display.

• The SPLIT mode and DUAL

VOICE feature (page 18) can be

used together. In this case the

dual voice plays simultaneously

with the right-hand voice only.

Split Voice The split voice can be changed as required while the

number and name of the current split voice appear on the

top line of the display.

S. olume Sets the volume of the split voice so you can create the

optimum blend with the right-hand voice. The volume

range is from “00” (no sound) to “127” (maximum split

voice volume).

S.Octa e Shifts the pitch of the split voice up or down one or two

octaves. “–1” is down one octave, “–2” is down two oc-

taves; “+1” and “+2” are up one and two octaves, respec-

tively.

S.Pan Positions the split voice in the stereo sound field. The pan

range is from “–7” to “+7”. “–7” is full left and “+7” is full

right.

S.Split Sets the keyboard split point — i.e. the key that separates

the left- and right-hand voices (the split-point key is in-

cluded in the left-hand section of the keyboard). Simply

press the key you want to assign as the split point. The key

number of the key you press will appear to the left of

“S.Split” on the top line of the display. You can also use

the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons or number buttons to enter

the split point key number. The lowest key on the keyboard

(C1) is key number “36”, middle C (C3) is “60”, and the

highest key (C6) is 96. The split point can be set at any

key number from 00 through 127, allowing the split point to

be set outside the range of the PSR-320/420 keyboard for

MIDI applications. The default split point is 59 (B2).

display when touch response is turned ON. The actual touch response sensitiv-

ity of the keyboard can be adjusted via the “Touch Sensitivity” function in the

OVERALL function group (page 54). When OFF (i.e. when the touch-response

icon is not showing) the same volume is produced no matter how hard you play

Using Auto Accompaniment

The PSR-320/420 has 100 different accompaniment “styles” that can be

used to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The

PSR-320/420’s sophisticated Auto Accompaniment system can provide

automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the

selected accompaniment style.

• The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously on the PSR-320/420 keyboard

is reduced when the Accompaniment mode is used.

● FULL

In this mode chords played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and

used for Auto Accompaniment. Otherwise the keyboard functions nor-

mally, and the entire range is available for playing. Chord recognition is

the same as in the NORMAL mode. This means you can play in just

about any style anywhere on the keyboard, and the PSR-320/420 will

automatically produce appropriate accompaniment.

• A single note eleven notes higher

than the lowest note of the chord

is recognized as a melody note.

is stopped (except when the FULL FINGERED mode is engaged). In this

case the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically.

Select the MAIN A and B Sections as Required............................

The MAIN A and MAIN B sections can be selected at any time during

playback by pressing the corresponding button. Whenever you press the

MAIN [A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-320/420 will generate an

appropriate “fill-in” (one of four types) which will smoothly connect the

current section to the selected section — even if it is the same section. For

example, if you press the MAIN [A] button while the MAIN A section is

playing, a fill-in will be produced, then the MAIN A section will continue

playing. When you select a different section, the fill-in will begin immedi-

ately and the new section will actually begin playing from the top of the

next measure unless the MAIN [A] or [B] button is pressed during the last

beat of the measure, in which case the fill-in will begin from the first beat of

the next measure.

■ Large/Small Accompaniment.............................................................................................

The simplest form of accompaniment track control is provided by the

[ACCOMP LARGE/SMALL] button. This button alternately turns the

PAD and PHRASE tracks on and off, thereby changing the number of parts

in the accompaniment. When the LARGE accompaniment is selected and

the PAD and PHRASE tracks are ON, their respective icons (violins for the

PAD track and a trumpet for the PHRASE track) will appear in the appropri-

ate positions in the display. The PAD and PHRASE 1 icons will not show

when the SMALL accompaniment is selected. Please note that some styles

do not use the PAD track, so the PAD icon may not appear even if the

LARGE accompaniment is selected.

• The LARGE accompaniment is

always selected whenever a new

style is selected.

• When SMALL accompaniment is

selected for a cartridge style

(page 45), the appropriate track

for that style will be turned off.

RHYTHM This is the main rhythm track. The RHYTHM track usually

plays one of the keyboard percussion kits.

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.

CHORD This track provides the rhythmic chordal accompaniment re-

quired by each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal

instruments here.

PAD This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained

instruments such as strings, organ, choir.

PHRASE This is where the musical embellishments reside. The

PHRASE track is used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated

chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more

interesting.

• Some INTRO and ENDING

sections have 2 PHRASE tracks

(PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2).

The melody of the INTRO and

ENDING sections is played using

the PHRASE 2 track.

• The icons for all tracks that con-

tain data in any section will ap-

pear whenever an accompani-

ment style is selected.

Using Auto Accompaniment

■ Muting Individual Tracks..............................................................................................................

Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by

using the cursor buttons to select the icon of the target track (the icon and

track name will flash), and then using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to

turn the track OFF or ON, respectively. The track icon will disappear when

a track is muted.

■ Changing Accompaniment Track Voices......................................................

You can change the voice played by any individual accompaniment track

by using the cursor buttons to select the voice number of the target track (the

voice number will flash), and then using the number buttons or [–/NO] and

[+/YES] buttons to select the desired voice number. Please note that only

numbers 1 through 8 can be selected for the RHYTHM track, and that these

numbers correspond to PERCUSSION KIT numbers 129 through 136.

Voice numbers 01 through 136 can be selected for all other tracks.

■ Adjusting Accompaniment Track Volume...................................................

The volume of each accompaniment track can be adjusted to produce the

ideal “mix” between tracks. Use the cursor buttons to select the volume bar

of the target track (the volume bar will flash), and then use the [–/NO] and

[+/YES] buttons to set the maximum volume of the track as required. The

shorter the bar, the lower the volume. During playback the top segment of

each volume bar will remain at the maximum volume level, while the lower

bars will move according to the amount of activity in each track.

• When a different style number is

selected, all accompaniment

track parameters will be reset to

their initial values. Use the REG-

ISTRATION MEMORY — page

33 — if you want to store a par-

ticular set of settings for instant

recall when needed.

• After changing the voice or vol-

ume, the [–/NO] and [+/YES]

buttons can be pressed simulta-

neously to reset the initial values.

• The track data changed applies

to all sections.

The Accomp Freeze Function

When the ACCOMP FREEZE function is engaged, the accompaniment pa-

The Multi Pads

The PSR-320/420 MULTI PADS can be used to play a number of short

pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences, that can be used to add

impact and variety to your keyboard performances and SONG record-

ings. Some of the pad phrases simply play back as programmed, while

others are “chord match” types which are automatically transposed to

match chords played using the PSR-320/420 Auto Accompaniment

feature.

The PSR-320 has 11 multi pad kits and the PSR-420 has 14, each containing a complete set of 4 MULTI

PAD phrases — 44 and 56 phrases in all, respectively. Before using the MULTI PADS, select the MULTI

■ Inserting a Music Cartridge

• Be sure to insert the Music Cartridge when you recall the registration

settings based on the cartridge data or playback the song based on

the cartridge data. Otherwise, “No Cart (Cartridge)” will appear on the

display.

■ Music Cartridge Handling Precautions

• Do not leave Music Cartridges in locations which are

subject to excessive heat or humidity.

• Do not drop Music Cartridges or subject them to strong

shock.

• Do not disassemble Music Cartridges.

• Do not directly touch the Music Cartridge’s electrical

contacts. Persistently touching it may cause to break

electrical contacts or generate static electricity. Static

electric charges can cause loss of data and unreliable

operation.

• Do not insert objects or cartridges other than Yamaha

Music Cartridges in the PortaTone cartridge slot. Doing

so can result in serious damage to the instrument.

• Never attempt to insert or remove a cartridge when the

power switch is ON. Doing so can result in loss of the

PSR-320/420 memory data (song data/registration

memory data) or complete lack of control.

• The Music Cartridge data may not be selected or played

back correctly, if the electrical contacts on the Music

Cartridge are affected with dust. If this happens, insert

and remove the Music Cartridge several times. This may

solve the problem. If the problem still happens, wipe

and clean the electrical contacts on the Music Cartridge

with a dry soft cloth.

With the power OFF, insert the Mu-

sic Cartridge into the cartridge slot as

shown, and press down firmly until the

Cartridge is seated properly (as shown

in the illustration). The Cartridge is

shaped so that it will only fit in the slot

one way - don’t try to force it in the

wrong way. Turn the power back ON

again after inserting.

For Cartridges without the mark,

the bottom of the serrated edges

of the Cartridge should be even

with the panel edge (not above it).

The triangular mark on the front of

the Cartridge should be completely

below the panel edge when the

Cartridge is properly seated.

Select and Use a Cartridge Style................................................................................

To select a cartridge style, first press and hold the number [3] button (be-

low the cartridge icon on the panel) until the cartridge icon appears to the

left of the style name in the display, then enter the number of the cartridge

style you want to select via the number buttons in the normal way (2 digits).

The cartridge styles can also be selected by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES]

buttons to go beyond the highest or lowest internal style numbers — e.g.

pressing the [+/YES] button while internal style number 00 is selected will

select cartridge style number 01 (the cartridge icon will appear).

The cartridge styles are used in exactly the same way as the internal ac-

companiment styles (page 24).

•“No OTS” will appear on the

Using Music Cartridges

■ The Yamaha Style File Format

The Yamaha “Style File Format”, is an original Yamaha auto-accompani-

ment data format which has evolved through years of development and re-

finement of the Standard MIDI File and GM System Level 1 formats on

which it is based. Style File Format makes it possible to provide exception-

ally high-quality accompaniments on many of our instruments, and in the

Music Cartridges used by the PSR-320/420.

Due to the sophisticated accompaniment capabilities provided by Style File

Format, some cartridge styles may have a different number of sections and/

or accompaniment tracks than the internal styles provided by the PSR-320/

420.

● Different Number of Sections

Some cartridge styles, for example, have A and B intro and ending sec-

tions as well as A and B main sections. In such a case, if the [INTRO]

and MAIN [A] buttons are pressed in order to start the accompaniment

with an introduction and then go to the main A section, the intro A sec-

tion will play. If the [INTRO] and MAIN [B] buttons are pressed, the

intro B section will play. A similar situation applies to endings: if the

main A or B section is playing and the [ENDING] button is pressed, the

ending A or B section will play accordingly.

● Different Number of Tracks

While the PSR-320/420 styles have one rhythm, one bass, one chord, one

pad, and one phrase track, some cartridge styles may have two rhythm,

chord, and/or phrase tracks. In such a case these individual tracks can be

selected by moving the cursor from track to track in the normal way. If

the RHYTHM 1 track is selected and the cursor is moved once to the

right, for example, the cursor will not actually move but “RHYTHM 2”

will appear in place of “RHYTHM 1” and the parameters for the

RHYTHM 2 track can be changed as required. The same applies to the

CHORD 1 and 2, and PHRASE 1 and 2 tracks.

Cartridge Songs

Using Yamaha Music Cartridges (the one supplied with the PSR-320/420 includes 8 songs, others are

available from your Yamaha dealer), the PSR-320/420 will let you enjoy listening to automated performances,

or function as your “private music tutor,” allowing you to practice various parts of a piece while the others are

played automatically. The PSR-420 also shows you which keys to play with keyboard guide lamps that light

up above each key.

Using Music Cartridges

Use the FUNCTION [▲] and [▼] buttons to select the SONG function.

Select a Cartridge Song Number................................................................................

To select a cartridge song, first press and hold the number [3] button (be-

low the cartridge icon on the panel) until the cartridge icon appears to the

left of the song name in the display, then enter the number of the cartridge

song you want to select via the number buttons in the normal way. The car-

tridge songs can also be selected by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons

to go beyond the highest or lowest internal song numbers — e.g. pressing

the [+/YES] button while user song number 19 is selected will select car-

tridge song number 01 (the cartridge icon will appear).

Cartridge Registration Presets

The Music Cartridge supplied with the PSR-320/420 provides 8 banks of preset registration settings (8

banks x 4 registration memories = 32 total) that provide a number of useful registration setups (refer to page

33 for details on the registration memory).

Using Music Cartridges

Select the Regist Memory Function......................................................................

Press either of the [FUNCTION] buttons to the left of the display as

many times as necessary until the arrowhead in the display appears next to

“REGIST MEMORY” in the function list to the left of the display.

Select and Use a Cartridge Registration.....................................................

To select a cartridge registration memory, first press and hold the number

[3] button (below the cartridge icon on the panel) until the cartridge icon

appears to the left of the registration bank number in the display, then enter

the number of the bank you want to select via the number buttons in the

normal way (page 33). The cartridge registration memories can also be se-

lected by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to go beyond the highest or

lowest internal bank numbers — e.g. pressing the [+/YES] button while

internal bank number 08 is selected will select cartridge registration bank

number 01 (the cartridge icon will appear).

The individual cartridge registration memories are recalled via the REG-

ISTRATION MEMORY buttons and used in exactly the same way as the

internal registration memories (page 34).

Practice Features

The PSR-320/420 includes several features that can be a great aid in

learning to play and practicing on the keyboard.

■ Specifying the Parts To Be Turned On or Off.......................................

To specify the right-hand, left-hand, or both parts to be turned off when

the Minus One mode is engaged, first select the OVERALL functions by

pressing either of the [FUNCTION] buttons to the left of the display as

many times as necessary until the arrowhead in the display appears next to

“OVERALL” in the function list to the left of the display. Then use the cur-

sor [▲] and [▼] buttons to locate the “MinusMod” function. Finally use the

[–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the desired Minus One mode.

The Minus One Mode

When the Minus One mode is engaged, the left-hand, right-hand, or both

keyboard parts of a song — internal demo or Music Cartridge — are turned off

so you can practice them on the PSR-320/420 keyboard. The “MinusMod”

function in the OVERALL function group determines which part or parts are

turned off when the Minus One mode is engaged.

To turn the Minus One function on, thus canceling the specified parts, press

the [MINUS ONE] button. The MINUS ONE icon will appear in the display

when the Minus One function is engaged.

Overall Functions

MIDI Functions

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 equipment that offer far greater versatil-

ity and control than is available with isolated instruments.

● The MIDI Connectors

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

vice which can be used to control the PSR-320/420. The MIDI OUT

connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-320/420 (e.g. note

and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).

OUT IN

MIDI

● Simple MIDI Control

Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-320/420, of course) transmit

note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT con-

nector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. 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-320/420 also transmits “program change”

data when one of its voices is selected. Depending 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-320/420.

PSR-320/420

Tone Generator

MIDI INMIDI OUT

Overall Functions

■ Remote Channel..........................................................................................................................................

Sets the MIDI channel on which data from a remote keyboard will be

received. Any of the standard MIDI channels — 1 through 16 — can be

specified. The remote keyboard must be set up to transmit on the specified

remote channel, and the keyboard’s MIDI OUT connector must be con-

nected to the PSR-320/420 MIDI IN connector via a standard MIDI cable.

Refer to the “MIDI Implementation Chart” section (page 68) for technical

details. When set to “oFF” data is received on all 16 MIDI channels. The

default setting — “oFF” — can be recalled by pressing the [–/NO] and [+/

YES] buttons simultaneously.

• Remote Channel is automatically

turned off when a MIDI “GM ON”

message is received.

• The Remote channel setting is

retained in memory even when

the power switch is turned off, as

long as batteries are installed or

an AC adaptor is connected.

● MIDI Sequence Recording

Although the PSR-320/420 features a built-in “sequencer (the SONG

recorder is a type of sequencer), the same type of musical information

transfer described above can be used for more sophisticated MIDI se-

quence 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-320/420, for example. When the re-

corded data is played back, the PSR-320/420 automatically “plays” the

recorded performance in precise detail.

• Never use MIDI cables longer

than about 15 meters. Cables

longer than this can pick up noise

which can cause data errors.

The PSR-320/420 is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a sec-

can be used to remotely play the PSR-320/420 and select voices as re-

quired.

■ Local Control......................................................................................................................................................

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the PSR-320/420 key-

board controls the internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be

played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control on”

since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.

Local control can be turned off, however, so that the keyboard does not play

the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted

via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At

the same time, the internal tone generator can respond to MIDI information

received via the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an external

MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the PSR-320/420 internal voices, an

external tone generator can be played from the PSR-320/420 keyboard. The

default Local Control setting is “on”.

Overall Functions

■ Initial Data Send...........................................................................................................................................

operation.

■ External Clock..................................................................................................................................................

Reception of external MIDI clock signal can be enabled or disabled as

required.

When disabled (“oFF”), the PSR-320/420 is controlled by its own inter-

nal clock. When MIDI clock reception is enabled (“on”), however, the PSR-

320/420 is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the

MIDI IN terminal. The default setting is “oFF”.

• If the External Clock function is

turned “on” but the external

clock signal is interrupted for

more than 400 milliseconds, the

internal clock is re-selected

automatically.

• External Clock setting is retained

in memory even when the power

■ Bulk Data Send...............................................................................................................................................

This function causes the contents of the registration and song memories

to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. This data can be saved to

memory or disk via a MIDI sequence recorder or MIDI data recorder, and

then reloaded when required. The bulk data can also be sent directly to a

second PSR-320/420.

To send the bulk data select the “BulkSnd?” function, then press the

[+/YES] button. “Sure?” will appear on the display. Press [+/YES] again to

begin transmission of the bulk data. “BkSnd:Sg” (song data) and then

“BkSnd:Rg” (registration data) will appear on the display during transmis-

sion. When the bulk data has been transmitted, “End” will appear momen-

tarily on the display and return to the “BulkSnd?”.

• A bulk dump transmission can be

stopped at any time by pressing

the [–/NO] button.

• No other operations can be

■ Receiving Bulk Data

The PSR-320/420 will automatically receive compatible bulk data from

an external MIDI device as long as no style playback or song recording/

playback operation is in progress. “BkRcv:Sg” (song data) and then

“BkRcv:Rg” (registration data) will appear on the display during reception.

When the bulk data has been received, “End” will appear momentarily on

the display and return to the previously selected display.

• No other operations can be

performed during bulk dump

• If an error is encountered

during bulk data reception,

“BkRcvErr” and then either

“MemClrSg” or “MemClrRg”

will appear on the display

indicating that either the song

or registration memory has

been cleared.

• When a bulk dump is received,

the received data replaces any

data that was previously in the

PSR-320/420 memory.

• The voice list includes the MIDI

program numbers that control

each voice when the PSR-320/

420 is played from an external

MIDI device.

• 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

The PSR-320/420 can play up to 28 individual notes at the same time (i.e. it

has a maximum “polyphony” of 28). This number includes all voices used:

dual, split, auto accompaniment, song, and multi pads. If the maximum po-

lyphony of the PSR-320/420 is exceeded, the excess notes will be truncated

(they will not sound).

Another feature affecting polyphony is the fact that some PSR-320/420

voices actually use two voices at once, as shown in the voice list below. The

effective maximum polyphony of the PSR-320/420 is correspondingly reduced

when these voices are used.

Appendix: Troubleshooting

Something not working as it should? In many cases what appears to be a malfunc-

tion can be traced to a simple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assum-

ing that your PSR-320/420 is faulty, please check the following points.

POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTIONPROBLEM

The speakers produce a “pop” sound

whenever the power is turned ON or

OFF.

This is normal and is no cause for alarm.

Reduced volume.

Poor sound quality.

Improper song playback.

“Btry Low” sometimes appears.

Display has gone out and the panel

setting has been set to default.

The batteries probably need to be replaced. Replace all six batteries with new ones

of the same type, as described on page 6.

The Local Control function could be turned off. Make sure Local Control is turned on

(page 59).

No sound when the keyboard is

played.

You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the PSR-320/420. The

PSR-320/420 can play up to 28 notes at the same time — including split, dual, auto-

accompaniment, song memory, and multi pad notes. Notes exceeding this limit will

not sound.

Not all simultaneously-played notes

sound.

Auto accompaniment won’t sound right if you’re using SINGLE FINGER type finger-

ing when the SINGLE FINGER mode is not selected (page 22).

Are you sure you’re playing in the Auto-Accompaniment section of the keyboard?

Are you playing chords that the PSR-320/420 can recognize (see chord types on

page 23)?

Auto accompaniment won’t function

properly. No lower keyboard sound.

The selected voice does not sound

when the keyboard is played.

Make sure that the Keyboard Volume, Split Voice Volume, and/or Dual Voice Volume

parameters are set at an appropriate level (pages 53, 16, and 18).

Rhythm doesn’t sound when started. Some sections of some styles do not use the accompaniment rhythm track.

Sustain pedal operation will be reversed if you turn on the power or plug in the pedal

while pressing the pedal. For normal operation turn off the power then turn it back

on while the pedal is not pressed.

Operation of the sustain pedal is

reversed.

The cursor is not located at the parameter to be edited. Make sure that the cursor is

located at the parameter to be edited (the parameter should be flashing).

The desired parameter cannot be

edited.

Make sure that the accompaniment tracks you want to hear are not muted (page

29), and that the Accomp Volume parameter is turned up to a reasonable level

(page 54).

Accompaniment does not play prop-

erly.

Neither of these functions can be turned ON if a percussion kit voice is selected.

Make sure a voice between number 01 and 141 is selected.

The Harmony effect cannot be turned ON when the FINGERED FULL mode is in

use.

The Harmony/Dual Voice/Digital Ef-

fect function will not turn on.

Cartridge data cannot be selected or

cannot be played back correctly.

Individual registration or song

memory data transmitted via bulk

dump from an external sequencer or

other device is not received by the

PSR-320/420.

The electrical contacts on the Music Cartridge are affected with dust. Insert and

remove the Music Cartridge several times. This may solve the problem. If the

problem still happens, wipe and clear the electrical contacts on the Music Car-

tridge with a dry soft cloth.

Make sure that an appropriate Yamaha Music Cartridge is properly plugged into

the cartridge slot (page 44).

Transmit the data with no more than a 2-second break between blocks, or transmit

as entirely separate data.

■ 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 manufac-

turer B. Since the voice allocation in different devices from different manufacturers is usually different, however, ap-

propriate 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

software 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 recognized by the International MIDI Association is known as “GM System Level 1.” The PSR-320/420 voice

allocation complies with the GM System Level 1 standard.

MIDI Implementation Chart

*0 PSR-320/420 functions as 16 MIDI channel multi-timbral tone

generator.

The Remote Keyboard channel can be set by the panel settings.

The designated channels on the PSR-320/420 can be controlled

by an external device and receive all the data excepting the fol-

lowing control change data:

Data entry, MSB, LSB

Portamento control

RPN data increment

RPN data decrement

RPN LSB, MSB

*1 Bank select transmission: The LSB is fixed at 00H.

Bank select reception: The bank select MSB is used for melody

voice and rhythm voice switching.

MSB 00H: Melody voice.

MSB 7FH: Rhythm voice.

The bank select LSB is ignored.

The bank select on the channel 10 is ignored.

No voice change will occur when only a bank select is re-

ceived.

When a program change is received the latest bank select

value is used.

*2 RPN transmits and receives the following data:

Pitch bend sensitivity: BnH, 64H, 00H, 65H, 00H

Fine tuning: BnH, 64H, 01H, 65H, 00H

Coarse tuning: BnH, 64H, 02H, 65H, 00H

Null: BnH, 64H, 7FH, 65H, 7FH

*3 Reset all controllers.

Pitch bend, modulation, expression, sustain, sostenuto, and regis-

tered parameter number are returned to their default values.

Portamento is reset.

*4 Exclusive.

<GM1 System ON> F0H, 7EH, 7FH, 09H, 01H, F7H

All parameters except MIDI Master Tuning are reset to their

default values.

<DISK ORCHESTRA ON> F0H, 43H, 73H, 01H, 14H, F7H

Disk Orchestra Collection disk can be played on the PSR-

320/420 via an external FDD device.

<DISK ORCHESTRA OFF> F0H, 43H, 73H, 01H, 13H, F7H

F0H, 7FH, 7FH, 04H, 01H, II, mm, F7H

Allows the volume of all channels to be changed simultane-

ously (universal system exclusive).

“mm” is used as the MIDI Master Volume value (“ll” is ignored).

The relation between MIDI Master Volume value and the actual

volume is the same as the one between control change master

volume value and the actual volume.

The default value for “mm” is 7FH.

F0H, 43H, 1nH, 27H, 30H, 00H, mm, ll, cc, F7H

Allows the pitch of all channels to be changed simultaneously.

“mmll” is used as the MIDI Master Tuning value, and the actual

tuning value is represented as follows:

T=M–128 (28<=M<=228)

Where T is the actual tuning value in cents. M is deci-

mal value represented by 1-byte using bits 0..3 of “mm”

as the MSB and bits 0..3 of “ll” as the LSB.

The default values of “mm” and “ll” are 08H and 00H,

respectively.

n and cc are also recognized.

This value is not reset by a GM1 System On or Reset All Con-

trollers message.

<Panel Voice> F0H, 43H, 76H, 1B, cc, vv, F7H

This message alternately selects Panel voice or GM voice.

cc: MIDI channel

vv: 00=GM voice mode, 01=Panel Voice mode

The channel designated as the Remote Keyboard channel is

fixed to Panel voice mode.

Song Memory:

F0H, 43H, 76H, 20H, bl, bh, <DATA>, cs, F7H

Registration Memory:

F0H, 43H, 76H, 21H, bl, bh, <DATA>, cs, F7H

“bl” and “bh” represent the total byte count as “bl + bh*128”.

cs= Checksum.

*5 Internal/External clock selectable.

*6 Start/Stop messages is transmitted.

*7 Each channel receives the message (in Panel voice mode), but

ignores the message if the channel is in GM voice mode.

The relation between the ambience depth value and actual effect

value is defined as follows:

0~25:OFF, 26~81:1, 82~121:2, 122~127:3 (MAX)

○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 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, outside, 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. ● An AC adaptor, if used (the PSR-320/420 runs from either batteries or an optional AC adaptor), should be unplugged from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be used for an extended period of time. ● Unplug the AC adaptor during electric storms. ● Avoid plugging the AC adaptor into the same AC outlet as appliances with high power consumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can result in reduced sound quality, operation errors, and possibly damage. ■ Turn Power OFF When Making Connections ● To avoid damage to the instrument and other devices to which it is connected, turn the power switches of all related devices OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting MIDI cables. ■ Handling and Transport ● Disconnect all cables before moving the instrument. ● Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or placing heavy objects on the instrument can result 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 instrument (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface). ■ Electrical Interference ● This instrument contains digital circuitry and may cause interference if placed too close to radio or television receivers. If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the affected equipment. ■ Data Backup ● Internal data (registration memory and song data) will be retained in memory even if the power switch is turned OFF as long as an AC power adaptor is connected or batteries are installed. ■ Service and Modification ● The PSR-320/420 contains no user serviceable parts. Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric shock.

Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-320/420. Power Supply Your PSR-320/420 will run either from batteries or an optional power adaptor. Follow the instructions below according to the power source you intend to use. ■ Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor ............................................................. Plug the DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-5, PA-5B, or PA5C AC Power Adaptor into the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the PSR320/420, then plug the Power Adaptor (or the AC cable of the Power Adaptor) into a convenient wall AC power socket. The internal batteries are automatically disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used. DC IN 10-12V PA-5, PA-5B, or PA-5C • Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-320/420 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data. • Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-5, PA5B, or PA-5C AC Power Adaptor to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-320/420. AC power socket ■ Using Batteries ............................................................................................................................................... For battery operation the PSR-320/420 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equivalent batteries. When the batteries need to be replaced “Btry Low” will appear on the display. Also the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off and either replace the batteries or connect an AC adaptor. Replace the batteries as follows: Z Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom panel. • 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. • 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. X Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment. C Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. 6 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Setting Up Connections ■ The PHONES Jack ................................................................................................................................... A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of headphones is plugged into the PHONES jack. • The PHONES jack can also be used to deliver the output of the PSR-320/420 to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console or tape recorder. PHONES ■ SUSTAIN Jack ................................................................................................................................................... An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the rearpanel SUSTAIN jack for sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper pedal on a piano — press for sustain, release for normal sound. • Be sure that you do not press the pedal while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed. SUSTAIN ■ MIDI IN and OUT Connectors ............................................................................................. The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device (such as a MIDI sequencer) which can be used to control the PSR-320/ 420. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR320/420 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard). More details on MIDI are provided on page 56. OUT MIDI IN The Music Stand The PSR-320/420 is supplied with a music stand that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the slot at the rear of the control panel. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 7 The Demonstration Once you’ve set up your PSR-320/420, try listening to the pre-programmed demonstration songs — they’ll give you a good idea of what the PSR-320/420 can do!

The RHYTHM track usually plays one of the keyboard percussion kits. 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. CHORD This track provides the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here. PAD This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir. PHRASE This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE track is used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting. • Some INTRO and ENDING sections have 2 PHRASE tracks (PHRASE 1 and PHRASE 2). The melody of the INTRO and ENDING sections is played using the PHRASE 2 track. • The icons for all tracks that contain data in any section will appear whenever an accompaniment style is selected. ■ Large/Small Accompaniment ............................................................................................. The simplest form of accompaniment track control is provided by the [ACCOMP LARGE/SMALL] button. This button alternately turns the PAD and PHRASE tracks on and off, thereby changing the number of parts in the accompaniment. When the LARGE accompaniment is selected and the PAD and PHRASE tracks are ON, their respective icons (violins for the PAD track and a trumpet for the PHRASE track) will appear in the appropriate positions in the display. The PAD and PHRASE 1 icons will not show when the SMALL accompaniment is selected. Please note that some styles do not use the PAD track, so the PAD icon may not appear even if the LARGE accompaniment is selected. MAIN ENDING AUTO FILL B 28 ACCOMP LARGE/SMALL RHYTHM 1 BASS CHORD 1 PAD • The LARGE accompaniment is always selected whenever a new style is selected. • When SMALL accompaniment is selected for a cartridge style (page 45), the appropriate track for that style will be turned off.

Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by using the cursor buttons to select the icon of the target track (the icon and track name will flash), and then using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to turn the track OFF or ON, respectively. The track icon will disappear when a track is muted. PAD ON / OFF VOICE PAD ON 18 7 8 9 0 –/NO +/ YES OFF 18 VOL • PHRASE 1, 2 tracks can also be selected by moving the cursor. If the PHRASE 1 track is selected and the cursor is moved once to the right, the cursor will not actually move but “PHRASE 2” will appear in place of “PHRASE 1” and the parameters for the PHRASE 2 track can be changed as required. • Muting individual tracks, changing accompaniment track voices and adjusting accompaniment track volume cannot be executed during song recording. ■ Changing Accompaniment Track Voices ...................................................... You can change the voice played by any individual accompaniment track by using the cursor buttons to select the voice number of the target track (the voice number will flash), and then using the number buttons or [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to select the desired voice number. Please note that only numbers 1 through 8 can be selected for the RHYTHM track, and that these numbers correspond to PERCUSSION KIT numbers 129 through 136. Voice numbers 01 through 136 can be selected for all other tracks. PAD ON / OFF VOICE 19 Voice Number 7 8 9 0 –/NO +/YES VOL ■ Adjusting Accompaniment Track Volume ................................................... The volume of each accompaniment track can be adjusted to produce the ideal “mix” between tracks. Use the cursor buttons to select the volume bar of the target track (the volume bar will flash), and then use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to set the maximum volume of the track as required. The shorter the bar, the lower the volume. During playback the top segment of each volume bar will remain at the maximum volume level, while the lower bars will move according to the amount of activity in each track.

The Cartridge is shaped so that it will only fit in the slot one way - don’t try to force it in the wrong way. Turn the power back ON again after inserting. The triangular mark on the front of the Cartridge should be completely below the panel edge when the Cartridge is properly seated. For Cartridges without the mark, the bottom of the serrated edges of the Cartridge should be even with the panel edge (not above it). ■ Music Cartridge Handling Precautions • Do not leave Music Cartridges in locations which are subject to excessive heat or humidity. • Do not drop Music Cartridges or subject them to strong shock. • Do not disassemble Music Cartridges. • Do not directly touch the Music Cartridge’s electrical contacts. Persistently touching it may cause to break electrical contacts or generate static electricity. Static electric charges can cause loss of data and unreliable operation. • Do not insert objects or cartridges other than Yamaha Music Cartridges in the PortaTone cartridge slot. Doing so can result in serious damage to the instrument. • Never attempt to insert or remove a cartridge when the power switch is ON. Doing so can result in loss of the PSR-320/420 memory data (song data/registration memory data) or complete lack of control. • The Music Cartridge data may not be selected or played back correctly, if the electrical contacts on the Music Cartridge are affected with dust. If this happens, insert and remove the Music Cartridge several times. This may solve the problem. If the problem still happens, wipe and clean the electrical contacts on the Music Cartridge with a dry soft cloth. • Be sure to insert the Music Cartridge when you recall the registration settings based on the cartridge data or playback the song based on the cartridge data. Otherwise, “No Cart (Cartridge)” will appear on the display. 44 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using Music Cartridges Cartridge Accompaniment Styles The Music Cartridge supplied with the PSR-320/420 provides an extra 8 accompaniment styles that can be used in the same way as the internal accompaniment styles. Selecting Cartridge Styles 1 Select the Style Function ........................................................................................................... Press the [STYLE] button to directly select the STYLE function, or press the [FUNCTION] button to the left of the display as many times as necessary until the arrowhead in the display appears next to “STYLE” in the function list to the left of the display. 2 Select and Use a Cartridge Style ................................................................................ To select a cartridge style, first press and hold the number [3] button (below the cartridge icon on the panel) until the cartridge icon appears to the left of the style name in the display, then enter the number of the cartridge style you want to select via the number buttons in the normal way (2 digits). The cartridge styles can also be selected by using the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons to go beyond the highest or lowest internal style numbers — e.g. pressing the [+/YES] button while internal style number 00 is selected will select cartridge style number 01 (the cartridge icon will appear). The cartridge styles are used in exactly the same way as the internal accompaniment styles (page 24). 1* – – VOICE STYLE C01 ORGRKBLD • “No OTS” will appear on the display if the optional cartridge styles have no one touch setting data. * 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 –/NO +/ YES SONG REGIST MEMORY ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 45 Using Music Cartridges ■ The Yamaha Style File Format The Yamaha “Style File Format”, is an original Yamaha auto-accompaniment data format which has evolved through years of development and refinement of the Standard MIDI File and GM System Level 1 formats on which it is based. Style File Format makes it possible to provide exceptionally high-quality accompaniments on many of our instruments, and in the Music Cartridges used by the PSR-320/420. Due to the sophisticated accompaniment capabilities provided by Style File Format, some cartridge styles may have a different number of sections and/ or accompaniment tracks than the internal styles provided by the PSR-320/ 420. ● Different Number of Sections Some cartridge styles, for example, have A and B intro and ending sections as well as A and B main sections. In such a case, if the [INTRO] and MAIN [A] buttons are pressed in order to start the accompaniment with an introduction and then go to the main A section, the intro A section will play. If the [INTRO] and MAIN [B] buttons are pressed, the intro B section will play. A similar situation applies to endings: if the main A or B section is playing and the [ENDING] button is pressed, the ending A or B section will play accordingly. ● Different Number of Tracks While the PSR-320/420 styles have one rhythm, one bass, one chord, one pad, and one phrase track, some cartridge styles may have two rhythm, chord, and/or phrase tracks. In such a case these individual tracks can be selected by moving the cursor from track to track in the normal way. If the RHYTHM 1 track is selected and the cursor is moved once to the right, for example, the cursor will not actually move but “RHYTHM 2” will appear in place of “RHYTHM 1” and the parameters for the RHYTHM 2 track can be changed as required. The same applies to the CHORD 1 and 2, and PHRASE 1 and 2 tracks. 46 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Using Music Cartridges Cartridge Songs Using Yamaha Music Cartridges (the one supplied with the PSR-320/420 includes 8 songs, others are available from your Yamaha dealer), the PSR-320/420 will let you enjoy listening to automated performances, or function as your “private music tutor,” allowing you to practice various parts of a piece while the others are played automatically.

This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. ● The MIDI Connectors The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-320/420. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-320/420 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard). OUT MIDI IN ● Simple MIDI Control Most MIDI keyboards (including the PSR-320/420, of course) transmit note and velocity (touch response) information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note is played on the keyboard. 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 multiinstrument sounds. The PSR-320/420 also transmits “program change” data when one of its voices is selected. Depending 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-320/420.

PSR-320/420 MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI Keyboard ● MIDI Sequence Recording Although the PSR-320/420 features a built-in “sequencer (the SONG recorder is a type of sequencer), the same type of musical information 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-320/420, for example. When the recorded data is played back, the PSR-320/420 automatically “plays” the recorded performance in precise detail. MIDI OUT MIDI IN PSR-320/420 MIDI IN • Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors. Music Computer MIDI OUT ■ Remote Channel .......................................................................................................................................... Sets the MIDI channel on which data from a remote keyboard will be received. Any of the standard MIDI channels — 1 through 16 — can be specified. The remote keyboard must be set up to transmit on the specified remote channel, and the keyboard’s MIDI OUT connector must be connected to the PSR-320/420 MIDI IN connector via a standard MIDI cable. Refer to the “MIDI Implementation Chart” section (page 68) for technical details. When set to “oFF” data is received on all 16 MIDI channels. The default setting — “oFF” — can be recalled by pressing the [–/NO] and [+/ YES] buttons simultaneously. • Remote Channel is automatically turned off when a MIDI “GM ON” message is received. • The Remote channel setting is retained in memory even when the power switch is turned off, as long as batteries are installed or an AC adaptor is connected. oFF RemoteCh ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 57 Overall Functions ■ Keyboard Out .....................................................................................................................................................

This situation is “Local Control on” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard. Local control can be turned off, however, so that the keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time, the internal tone generator can respond to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an external MIDI sequencer, for example, plays the PSR-320/420 internal voices, an external tone generator can be played from the PSR-320/420 keyboard. The default Local Control setting is “on”. oon Local ■ External Clock .................................................................................................................................................. Reception of external MIDI clock signal can be enabled or disabled as required. When disabled (“oFF”), the PSR-320/420 is controlled by its own internal clock. When MIDI clock reception is enabled (“on”), however, the PSR320/420 is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN terminal. The default setting is “oFF”. oFF ExtClock • If the External Clock function is turned “on” but the external clock signal is interrupted for more than 400 milliseconds, the internal clock is re-selected automatically. • External Clock setting is retained in memory even when the power switch is turned OFF, as long as batteries are installed or an AC adaptor is connected. ■ Initial Data Send ........................................................................................................................................... Transmits all current panel settings to a MIDI data storage device before actually recording your performance. With the “InitSnd?” function selected, press the [+/YES] button to start transmission. When the data has been transmitted, “End” will appear momentarily on the display and return to the “InitSnd?”. YES InitSnd? • The song data will not be played back correctly, if the panel settings for the song has not been recorded in advance. To record the panel settings to an external device, engage the external device in the record mode and execute the Initial Data Send operation. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 59 Overall Functions ■ Bulk Data Send ............................................................................................................................................... This function causes the contents of the registration and song memories to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector. This data can be saved to memory or disk via a MIDI sequence recorder or MIDI data recorder, and then reloaded when required. The bulk data can also be sent directly to a second PSR-320/420. To send the bulk data select the “BulkSnd?” function, then press the [+/YES] button. “Sure?” will appear on the display. Press [+/YES] again to begin transmission of the bulk data. “BkSnd:Sg” (song data) and then “BkSnd:Rg” (registration data) will appear on the display during transmission. When the bulk data has been transmitted, “End” will appear momentarily on the display and return to the “BulkSnd?”. • A bulk dump transmission can be stopped at any time by pressing the [–/NO] button. • No other operations can be performed during bulk dump transmission. YES BulkSnd? ■ Receiving Bulk Data The PSR-320/420 will automatically receive compatible bulk data from an external MIDI device as long as no style playback or song recording/ playback operation is in progress. “BkRcv:Sg” (song data) and then “BkRcv:Rg” (registration data) will appear on the display during reception. When the bulk data has been received, “End” will appear momentarily on the display and return to the previously selected display. 001 BkRcv:Sg • No other operations can be performed during bulk dump reception. • If an error is encountered during bulk data reception, “BkRcvErr” and then either “MemClrSg” or “MemClrRg” will appear on the display indicating that either the song or registration memory has been cleared. • When a bulk dump is received, the received data replaces any data that was previously in the PSR-320/420 memory. 60 ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Appendix: Data Backup & Initialization Except for the data listed below, all PSR-320/420 panel settings are reset to their initial settings whenever the power is turned on.

This number includes all voices used: dual, split, auto accompaniment, song, and multi pads. If the maximum polyphony of the PSR-320/420 is exceeded, the excess notes will be truncated (they will not sound). Another feature affecting polyphony is the fact that some PSR-320/420 voices actually use two voices at once, as shown in the voice list below. The effective maximum polyphony of the PSR-320/420 is correspondingly reduced when these voices are used.

In many cases what appears to be a malfunction can be traced to a simple error that can be remedied immediately. Before assuming that your PSR-320/420 is faulty, please check the following points. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION The speakers produce a “pop” sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF. This is normal and is no cause for alarm. Reduced volume. Poor sound quality. Improper song playback. “Btry Low” sometimes appears. Display has gone out and the panel setting has been set to default. The batteries probably need to be replaced. Replace all six batteries with new ones of the same type, as described on page 6. No sound when the keyboard is played. The Local Control function could be turned off. Make sure Local Control is turned on (page 59). Not all simultaneously-played notes sound. You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony of the PSR-320/420. The PSR-320/420 can play up to 28 notes at the same time — including split, dual, autoaccompaniment, song memory, and multi pad notes. Notes exceeding this limit will not sound. Auto accompaniment won’t sound right if you’re using SINGLE FINGER type fingering when the SINGLE FINGER mode is not selected (page 22). Auto accompaniment won’t function properly. No lower keyboard sound. Are you sure you’re playing in the Auto-Accompaniment section of the keyboard? Are you playing chords that the PSR-320/420 can recognize (see chord types on page 23)? The selected voice does not sound when the keyboard is played. Make sure that the Keyboard Volume, Split Voice Volume, and/or Dual Voice Volume parameters are set at an appropriate level (pages 53, 16, and 18). Rhythm doesn’t sound when started. Some sections of some styles do not use the accompaniment rhythm track. Operation of the sustain pedal is reversed. Sustain pedal operation will be reversed if you turn on the power or plug in the pedal while pressing the pedal. For normal operation turn off the power then turn it back on while the pedal is not pressed. The desired parameter cannot be edited. The cursor is not located at the parameter to be edited. Make sure that the cursor is located at the parameter to be edited (the parameter should be flashing). Accompaniment does not play properly. Make sure that the accompaniment tracks you want to hear are not muted (page 29), and that the Accomp Volume parameter is turned up to a reasonable level (page 54). The Harmony/Dual Voice/Digital Effect function will not turn on. Neither of these functions can be turned ON if a percussion kit voice is selected. Make sure a voice between number 01 and 141 is selected. The Harmony effect cannot be turned ON when the FINGERED FULL mode is in use. Make sure that an appropriate Yamaha Music Cartridge is properly plugged into the cartridge slot (page 44). Cartridge data cannot be selected or cannot be played back correctly. Individual registration or song memory data transmitted via bulk dump from an external sequencer or other device is not received by the PSR-320/420. The electrical contacts on the Music Cartridge are affected with dust. Insert and remove the Music Cartridge several times. This may solve the problem. If the problem still happens, wipe and clear the electrical contacts on the Music Cartridge with a dry soft cloth. Transmit the data with no more than a 2-second break between blocks, or transmit as entirely separate data. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 63 Percussion Kit List * “<——” indicates the content is the same as that of Standard Kit. * The number in parentheses ( ) after the percussion kit name is the MIDI program number. * The corresponding MIDI note numbers for the notes listed in the chart below are actually one octave lower.

The Remote Keyboard channel can be set by the panel settings. The designated channels on the PSR-320/420 can be controlled by an external device and receive all the data excepting the following control change data: <MIDI Master Volume> F0H, 7FH, 7FH, 04H, 01H, II, mm, F7H Allows the volume of all channels to be changed simultaneously (universal system exclusive). “mm” is used as the MIDI Master Volume value (“ll” is ignored). The relation between MIDI Master Volume value and the actual volume is the same as the one between control change master volume value and the actual volume. Data entry, MSB, LSB Portamento control RPN data increment RPN data decrement RPN LSB, MSB *1 The default value for “mm” is 7FH. <MIDI Master Tuning> F0H, 43H, 1nH, 27H, 30H, 00H, mm, ll, cc, F7H Allows the pitch of all channels to be changed simultaneously. “mmll” is used as the MIDI Master Tuning value, and the actual tuning value is represented as follows: Bank select transmission: The LSB is fixed at 00H. Bank select reception: The bank select MSB is used for melody voice and rhythm voice switching. T=M–128 (28<=M<=228) Where T is the actual tuning value in cents. M is decimal value represented by 1-byte using bits 0..3 of “mm” as the MSB and bits 0..3 of “ll” as the LSB. The default values of “mm” and “ll” are 08H and 00H, respectively. n and cc are also recognized. This value is not reset by a GM1 System On or Reset All Controllers message. MSB 00H: Melody voice. MSB 7FH: Rhythm voice. The bank select LSB is ignored. The bank select on the channel 10 is ignored. No voice change will occur when only a bank select is received. When a program change is received the latest bank select value is used. <Panel Voice> F0H, 43H, 76H, 1B, cc, vv, F7H This message alternately selects Panel voice or GM voice. cc: MIDI channel vv: 00=GM voice mode, 01=Panel Voice mode The channel designated as the Remote Keyboard channel is fixed to Panel voice mode. *2 RPN transmits and receives the following data: Pitch bend sensitivity: BnH, 64H, 00H, 65H, 00H Fine tuning: BnH, 64H, 01H, 65H, 00H Coarse tuning: BnH, 64H, 02H, 65H, 00H Null: BnH, 64H, 7FH, 65H, 7FH *3 Reset all controllers. Pitch bend, modulation, expression, sustain, sostenuto, and registered parameter number are returned to their default values. Portamento is reset. *4 Exclusive. <GM1 System ON> F0H, 7EH, 7FH, 09H, 01H, F7H All parameters except MIDI Master Tuning are reset to their default values. *5 Internal/External clock selectable. *6 Start/Stop messages is transmitted. <DISK ORCHESTRA ON> F0H, 43H, 73H, 01H, 14H, F7H Disk Orchestra Collection disk can be played on the PSR320/420 via an external FDD device. *7 Each channel receives the message (in Panel voice mode), but ignores the message if the channel is in GM voice mode. The relation between the ambience depth value and actual effect value is defined as follows: <DISK ORCHESTRA OFF> F0H, 43H, 73H, 01H, 13H, F7H <Bulk Dump> Song Memory: F0H, 43H, 76H, 20H, bl, bh, <DATA>, cs, F7H Registration Memory: F0H, 43H, 76H, 21H, bl, bh, <DATA>, cs, F7H “bl” and “bh” represent the total byte count as “bl + bh*128”. cs= Checksum. 0~25:OFF, 26~81:1, 82~121:2, 122~127:3 (MAX) ■ 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 software 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 recognized by the International MIDI Association is known as “GM System Level 1.” The PSR-320/420 voice allocation complies with the GM System Level 1 standard. ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ 67 Specifications Keyboards: 61 standard-size keys (C1-C6) with touch response.
