SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE:

The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the

time of printing. However, Yamaha reserves the right to change or modify

any of the speciﬁcations without notice or obligation to update existing

This product, either alone or in combination with an ampliﬁer and head-

phones or speaker/s, may be capable of producing sound levels that

could cause permanent hearing loss. DO NOT operate for long periods

of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you

experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an

audiologist.

IMPORTANT: The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before

damage occurs.

Some Yamaha products may have benches and / or accessory mounting

ﬁxtures that are either supplied with the product or as optional accesso-

ries. Some of these items are designed to be dealer assembled or

installed. Please make sure that benches are stable and any optional ﬁx-

tures (where applicable) are well secured BEFORE using.

Benches supplied by Yamaha are designed for seating only. No other

uses are recommended.

NOTICE:

Service charges incurred due to a lack of knowledge relating to how a

function or effect works (when the unit is operating as designed) are not

covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and are therefore the owners

responsibility. Please study this manual carefully and consult your dealer

before requesting service.

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:

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-301, PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by

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

or overheating.

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

accumulated on it.

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

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects

on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll

anything over it.

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

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

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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

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

any openings.

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

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

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

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

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

smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

CAUTION

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

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

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

the plug itself and not the cord.

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

electrical storms.

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

Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the

outlet.

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

heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio

may generate noise.

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

fall over.

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

• 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, use

the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal

components or result in the instrument falling over.

• Do not place objects in front of the instrument’s air vent, since this may prevent

adequate ventilation of the internal components, and possibly result in the

instrument overheating.

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

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

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

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

controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.

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

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

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

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel

or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the

power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed

Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

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

use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

•

Do not 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.

Saving and backing up your data

• The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the

instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 27), or USB storage

device (USB ﬂash memory/ﬂoppy disk, etc).

Introduction

Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks

An optional ﬂoppy disk drive UD-FD01 can be connected

to this instrument. It lets you save original data you’ve cre-

ated on the instrument to ﬂoppy disk, and allows you to

load data from ﬂoppy disk to the instrument.

Be sure to handle ﬂoppy disks and treat the disk drive with

care. Follow the important precautions below.

Floppy Disk Compatibility

• 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type ﬂoppy disks can be used.

Formatting a Floppy Disk

• If you ﬁnd that you are unable to use new, blank disks or

old disks that have been used with other devices, you

may need to format them. For details on how to format a

disk, see page 66. Keep in mind that all data on the disk

will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check before-

hand whether or not the disk contains important data.

Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be usable as

is on other devices.

Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks

Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk

Drive:

• Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing

upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards

the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly

pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the

eject button pops out.

Never insert anything but ﬂoppy disks into the disk drive. Other

objects may cause damage to the disk drive or ﬂoppy disks.

Removing a Floppy Disk

• After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the

ﬂoppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the ﬂoppy

disk drive is off), ﬁrmly press the eject button at the

upper right of the disk slot all the way in.

When the ﬂoppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If

the ﬂoppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck,

do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject

button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to

eject it again.

* Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as

recording, playback, or deletion of data.

If a ﬂoppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is

automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether

the disk has data.

• Be sure to remove the ﬂoppy disk from the disk drive

before turning off the power. A ﬂoppy disk left in the

drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and

dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors.

Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write

Head

• Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument

employs a precision magnetic read/write head which,

after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of

magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventu-

ally cause read and write errors.

•To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order

Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-avail-

able dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about

once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the avail-

ability of proper headcleaning disks.

About Floppy Disks

Handle ﬂoppy disks with care, and fol-

low these precautions:

• Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply

pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep ﬂoppy disks

in their protective cases when they are not in use.

• Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high

or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liq-

uids.

• Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed

surface of the ﬂoppy disk inside.

• Do not expose the disk to magnetic ﬁelds, such as those

produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since

magnetic ﬁelds can partially or completely erase data on

the disk, rendering it unreadable.

• Never use a ﬂoppy disk with a deformed shutter or hous-

ing.

• Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to

a ﬂoppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in

the proper location.

To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab):

•To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the

disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab

open). When saving data, make sure that the disk's

write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab

closed).

CAUTION

Do not remove the ﬂoppy disk or turn off the instrument

itself while the disk is being accessed.

Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk

but also damage to the ﬂoppy disk drive.

Introduction

Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc)

This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] termi-

nal. By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device

with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve cre-

ated to the connected device, as well as read data from the

connected device. Be sure to handle USB storage device

with care. Follow the important precautions below.

For more information about the handling of USB stor-

age device, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB stor-

age device.

Compatible USB storage devices

• Up to two USB storage devices, such as a ﬂoppy disk

drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, ﬂash memory

reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The

number of USB storage devices that can be used with

musical instruments simultaneously even when a USB

hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can

recognize up to four drives in one USB storage device.

Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or

mouse cannot be used.

•The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-

cially available USB storage devices. Yamaha cannot

guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you

purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices,

please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized

Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Man-

ual) for advice, or visit the following web page:

http://music.yamaha.com/homekeyboard/

Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to

the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data.

Formatting USB storage media

• When a USB storage device is connected or media is

inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format

the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation.

Using USB Storage Devices

• When connecting a USB storage device to the [USB TO

DEVICE], make sure that the connector on the device is

appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direc-

tion. Before removing the media from the device, make

sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in

the Save, Copy and Delete operations).

• If you are connecting two or three devices at the same

time (such as two USB storage devices and a LAN adap-

tor), you should use a USB hub device. The USB hub

must be self-powered (with its own power source) and

the power must be on. Only one USB hub can be used.

If an error message appears while using the USB hub,

disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the

power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub.

•Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard,

you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with

the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is

that of USB 1.1.

To protect your data (write-protect):

To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased,

apply the write-protect provided with each storage device

or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device,

make sure to disable write-protect.

CAUTION

The format operation overwrites any previously existing

data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does

not contain important data. Proceed with caution, espe-

cially when connecting multiple USB storage medias.

CAUTION

Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB

storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable

too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the

instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instru-

ment is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and

Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do

NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn

the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the

data on either or both devices.

Using the Pitch Bend Wheel

Use the PITCH BEND wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you)

while playing the keyboard. The Pitch Bend is applied to all the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2 and LEFT). The PITCH

BEND wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released.

• If the Pitch Bend range is set to more than 1200 cents (1 octave) via MIDI, the pitch of some voices may not be raised or lowered

completely.

•The effects caused by using the PITCH BEND Wheel will not be applied to the LEFT part when the Chord Fingering type is set to

the one other than “FULL KEYBOARD” or “AI FULL KEYBOARD” with the [ACMP] and PART ON/OFF [LEFT] turned on.

The Multi Pads

The 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.

Multi Pads are grouped in Banks or four each. The PSR-OR700 features a variety of Multi Pad Banks in a variety of dif-

ferent musical genres.

Playing the Multi Pads

Select pages using the [1

]–[7

] buttons that correspond to “P1, P2...” in the display, then use the [A]–[J]

buttons to select the desired bank.

The corresponding phrase (in this case, for Pad 1) starts playing back in its entirety as soon as the pad is

pressed. To stop it, press and release the [STOP] button.

Simply tap any of the Multi Pads at any time to play back the corresponding phrase at the currently set

tempo. You can even play two, three, or four Multi Pads at the same time. Pressing the pad during its play-

back will stop playing and begin playing from the top again.

PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual

Using Chord Match

Many of the Multi Pad phrases are melodic or chordal and you can have these phrases automatically change chords as

you do with your left hand. While a style is playing back and [ACMP] is on, simply play a chord with your left hand

and press any of the Multi Pads — Chord Match changes the pitch to match the chords you play. You can also use this

with the style stopped (with the Stop Accompaniment function). Keep in mind that some Multi Pads are not affected by

Chord Match.

Voice Effects

The PSR-OR700 features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which can add extraordinary depth and expres-

sion to your sound. This effect system can be turned on or off by using the following buttons.

• HARMONY/ECHO

The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to “Applying Harmony to Your Right-

hand Melody” on page 54.

•TOUCH

This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When OFF, the same volume is produced

no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard.

• SUSTAIN

When this Sustain function is on, all notes played on the keyboard (RIGHT 1/2 parts only) have a longer

sustain. You can also set the sustain depth (page 95).

• MONO

When this button is on, the part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time). Using the

MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets

you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.

When this button is off, the part’s Voice played polyphonically.

n Portamento

Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the ﬁrst note played on the keyboard to the next.

The portamento time (the pitch transition time) can be set via the MIXING CONSOLE display (page 86).

• DSP/DSP VARI.

With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a vari-

ety of ways — such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall.

•The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently

selected keyboard part.

•The DSP VARI. (Variation) switch is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You could use

this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.

n DSP

Stands for Digital Signal Processor (or Processing). DSP changes and enhances the audio signal in the digital realm to

produce a wide range of effects.

In this example, the phrase for Pad 1

will be transposed into F major

before playing back. Try out other

various chord types while playing the

Multi Pads.

Applying Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody

(HARMONY/ECHO)

Among the Voice Effects, Harmony is one of the most impressive. It automatically adds harmony parts to the notes you

play with your right hand — immediately giving you a more full and professional sound. For details on the Harmony/

Echo types, see page 82. An optional foot pedal can also be used to turn the effect on and off (page 168).

You can also use the Harmony effect with the style stopped (with the Stop Accompaniment function;

page 106). Simply hold down a chord with your left hand and play a melody with your right. Since the Har-

mony effect is added by detecting chords, if you play a melody with your right hand before playing any

chord, no Harmony effect is added to the notes.

1 Turn the [Harmony/Echo] button on.

2 Turn on both the [ACMP] button and [SYNC START] button (page 47) and make sure

that the RIGHT 1 part is on (page 30).

3 Play a chord with your left hand to start the style (page 47) and play some notes in

the right-hand range of the keyboard.

MegaVoices Compatibility

MegaVoices are not compatible

with other models. Any song/style

data you’ve created on the PSR-

OR700 using the MegaVoices

will not sound properly when

played back on other instruments.

MegaVoice The MegaVoices are not intended to be played from the keyboard. They

are primarily designed for use with recorded MIDI sequence data (such

as songs and styles). Some of the guitar and bass Voices in particular

have been created as MegaVoices.

What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Nor-

mal Voices use velocity switching, too — to make the sound quality

and/or level of a Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it.

This makes the instrument’s Voices sound authentic and natural. How-

ever, with MegaVoices, each velocity range (the measure of your play-

ing strength) has a completely different sound.

For example, a Mega guitar Voice includes the sounds of various perfor-

mance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having

those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination

to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a con-

vincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using speciﬁc

velocity values to play the desired sounds.

Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise veloci-

ties need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the

keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating

MIDI data — especially when you want to avoid using several different

Voices just for a single instrument part.

Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a

truly authentic, rich sound — full of atmosphere and ambience.

Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of elec-

tric instruments — thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very

sophisticated programming.

Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also beneﬁt from Yamaha’s sophisti-

cated technology — and feature a sound so ﬁnely detailed and natural,

you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing!

Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys,

letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.

SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you

play the sounds from the keyboard.

Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the vari-

ous footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 96 for

details.

Playing Different Voices Simultaneously

The PSR-OR700 keyboard features various functions and performance conve-

niences that are simply unavailable on an acoustic instrument. It allows you to play

several different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice with your left hand

while you play a different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right.

Keyboard Parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left)

Voices can be assigned independently to each keyboard part: Right 1, Right 2, and

Left. You can combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create a

rich, ensemble sound.

Keyboard Part Combinations

■ Playing a single Voice (Right 1 part)

You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for nor-

mal performance — for example, with the piano Voice.

■ Playing two Voices simultaneously (Right 1 and 2 parts)

You can simulate a melody duet or combine two similar Voices to create a thicker sound.

Refer to page 79 for Voice selection operations for the Right 2 part.

■

Playing different Voices with the left and right Hands (Right 1 and Left parts)

You can play different Voices with the left and right hands. For example, try play-

ing the bass Voice with your left hand and the piano Voice with your right.

Refer to page 80 for Voice selection operations for the Left part.

■ Playing three different Voices with the left and right Hands (Right 1, 2

and Left parts)

You can combine these three parts to create a rich, ensemble sound.

The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.

Harmony/Echo Types

The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the

particular effect applied.

● Harmony Types

When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to

notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type

Echo Types

These types apply echo

effects to notes played in

the right-hand section of

the keyboard in time with

the currently set tempo.

Harmony Types

These types apply the harmony

effect to notes played in the

right-hand section of the key-

board according to the chord

speciﬁed in the left-hand sec-

tion of the keyboard. (Note that

the “1+5” and “Octave” settings

are not affected by the chord.)

Multi Assign Type

This type applies a special effect

to chords played in the right-

hand section of the keyboard.

Canceling the chord sound

for the harmony effect

This cancels the sound of the

chord played in the chord range

of the keyboard — letting you

selected above and the chord speciﬁed in the chord section of the keyboard

shown below.

● Multi Assign Type

Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously in the right-hand

section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT

1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1

and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play.

● Echo Types

When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo,

trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time

with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off sta-

tus. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard

simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those

notes alternately.

Harmony/Echo Settings

VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by

the Harmony/Echo effect.

SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected

in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill

effects.

ASSIGN This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the har-

mony/echo notes will be sounded.

CHORD NOTE

ONLY

This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected.

When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note

(played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a

chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.

TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony

note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by

your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the mel-

ody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly

(above the set value).

EQ (Equalizer)

Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spec-

trum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall

frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speak-

ers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of

the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too

“boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound

is relatively “dead” and free of echoes. The instrument possesses a high-grade ﬁve-

band digital EQ. With this function, a ﬁnal effect — tone control can be added to

the output of your instrument. You can select one of the ﬁve preset EQ settings in

the EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the

frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

SOUND

● FILTER

Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking

or passing a speciﬁc frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall

timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to

making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce elec-

tronic, synthesizer-like effects.

● EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound

changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural

acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds,

or the long release of a sustained piano tone.

BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the

ﬁlter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound.

HARMONIC CONTENT Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance),

set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a

more pronounced effect.

ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after

the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.

DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a

slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the

quicker the decay.

RELEASE Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is

released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays

explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure.” The Organ Flutes parameters are

organized into three different pages. The parameters in each page are described

separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters

(page 98), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected.

FOOTAGE

CAUTION

If you select another Voice

without saving the settings,

the settings will be lost. If you

wish to store the settings

here, make sure to save the

settings as a User Voice before

selecting another Voice or

turning the power off.

ORGAN TYPE Speciﬁes the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or

Vintage.

ROTARY SP SPEED Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker

speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes

(see “EFFECT/EQ” DSP TYPE parameter on page 95), and the Voice

Effect DSP (page 95) is turned on (this parameter has the same effect

as the Voice Effect VARIATION ON/OFF parameter).

VIBRATO ON/OFF Alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes Voice ON or

OFF.

VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3

(high).

Footage:

The term “footage” is a reference

to the sound generation of tradi-

tional pipe organs, in which the

sound is produced by pipes of

different lengths (in feet).

16' ← → 5 1/3'

Which footage (16' or 5 1/3') is operated with the [1

π†

] button can

be switched by pressing the [D] button.

16'–1'

Determines the basic sound of the organ ﬂutes. The longer the pipe, the

lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the low-

est pitched component of the Voice, while the 1' setting determines the

highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the

greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various vol-

umes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.

VOLUME/ATTACK

EFFECT/EQ

Same parameters as in the VOICE SET “EFFECT/EQ” tab display explained on

page 95.

VOL Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the

graphic bar, the greater the volume.

RESP Affects both the attack and release (page 94) portion of the sound,

increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and

release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the value, the

slower the swell and release.

VIBRATO SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato

On/Off and Vibrato Depth on the previous page.

MODE The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH.

In the FIRST mode, attack is applied only to the ﬁrst notes played

and held simultaneously; while the ﬁrst notes are held, any subse-

quently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode,

attack is applied equally to all notes.

4', 2 2/3', 2' These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE

Voice. The 4', 2-2/3' and 2' controls increase or reduce the volume

of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the

graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume.

LENG Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter

decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic

bar, the longer the decay.

Disabling automatic selection of Voice Sets (effects, etc.)

Each Voice is linked to its related parameter settings that are indicated in the

VOICE SET displays, including effects and EQ. Usually these settings are

automatically called up when a Voice is selected. However, you can also

disable this feature by the operation in the relevant display as explained

below.

For example, if you want to change the Voice yet keep the same Harmony

effect, set the HARMONY/ECHO parameter to OFF (in the display explained

below).

You can set these independently by keyboard part and parameter group.

EQUAL

TEMPERAMENT

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with

each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used

tuning in music today.

BAYAT/ RAST Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

PURE MAJOR

PURE MINOR

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale,

especially for triad chords (root, third, ﬁfth). You can hear this best in

actual vocal harmonies – such as choirs and a cappella singing.

PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created

from a series of perfect ﬁfths, which are collapsed into a single octave.

The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are

beautiful and suitable for some leads.

MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by

making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popu-

lar from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others,

used this scale.

WERCKMEISTER

KIRNBERGER

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger sys-

tems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and

Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has

its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the

time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when per-

forming period music on the harpsichord.

Pro

These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined

with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the

chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmo-

nies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.

Session These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by

mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with

chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed

to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain

songs and in certain genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may

not necessarily be appropriate — or even harmonically correct — for

all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a

simple major triad for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh

chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unex-

pected accompaniment.

Playing Only the Rhythm Channels

of a Style

Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along

with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind,

however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels.

1 Select a Style (page 46).

2 Press the [ACMP] to turn Auto Accompaniment off.

3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to play back the

rhythm channels.

AI:

Artiﬁcial Intelligence

Starting the rhythm with Sync

You can also start the rhythm

simply by playing the keyboard,

if Sync Start is enabled (turn on

the [SYNC START] button).

SINGLE FINGER Makes it simple to produce

orchestrated accompani-

ment using major, seventh,

minor and minor-seventh

chords by pressing a mini-

mum number of keys on the

Chord section of the key-

board. This type is available

only for Style playback.

The abbreviated chord ﬁn-

gerings described at right are

used:

MULTI FINGER Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord ﬁngerings, so you

can use either type of ﬁngering without having to switch ﬁngering types.

FINGERED Lets you ﬁnger your own chords on the Chord section of the keyboard,

while the instrument supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass,

and chord accompaniment in the selected Style. The Fingered type rec-

ognizes the various chord types which are listed on the Data List avail-

able at the Yamaha website (page 5) and can be looked up using the

Chord Tutor function (page 50).

FINGERED ON

BASS

Accepts the same ﬁngerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played

in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing

you to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the

chord is always used as the bass note).

FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way

similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and

right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and

a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a

melody note with your right.

AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three

notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously

played chord, etc.).

AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced ﬁngering type is engaged, the instrument will auto-

matically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about

anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have

to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Key-

board type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements

may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full

Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to

indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th,

11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for

Style playback.

For a major chord,

press the root key only.

For a minor chord,

simultaneously press the root

key and a black key to its left.

For a seventh chord,

simultaneously press the root

key and a white key to its left.

• Synchro Stop Window

This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function

is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this

is set to a value other than “OFF,” this automatically cancels the Synchro Stop

function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently

resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have

the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set

here, the Synchro Stop function works.

Style Creator

You can create your own styles — recording them by yourself or by combining the

internal Style data. The created Styles can be edited.

Style Structure

Styles are made up of ﬁfteen different sections and each section has eight separate

channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately

recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.

Creating a Style

You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style.

The created Styles can also be edited (page 120).

■ Realtime Recording ➤ See page 115

This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the instrument. You can

select an internal Style that most closely matches your image of the Style you want

to create and then re-record parts of the Style as desired, or you can create a new

Style from scratch.

■ Step Recording ➤ See page 118

This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter

each note or individually, and specify its length.

This allows you to create a Style without having to play the parts on the instrument,

since you can enter each event manually.

■ Style Assembly ➤ See page 119

This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various pat-

terns from the internal preset Styles. For example, if you want to create your own

original 8-beat Style, you could take rhythm patterns from the “70’s 8Beat” Style,

use the bass pattern from “60’s Rock1” Style and import the chord patterns from the

“Cool8Beat” Style — combining the various elements to create one Style.

Realtime Recording (BASIC)

Create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using

realtime recording.

Realtime Recording Characteristics

• Loop Recording

Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and

Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with

a two-measure main section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes

that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record

while hearing previously recorded material.

• Overdub Recording

This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded

data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is

not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (page 117) and

Delete (page 116). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN

section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will

play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop

while hearing previously recorded material.

When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is

applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm),

delete the original data before recording.

When using realtime recording based on the internal Styles:

1 Select the desired Style to serve as the basis for recording/editing

(page 46).

When creating a new Style from scratch, press the [C] (NEW STYLE) button

from the display shown in step 5 below.

2 Call up the operation display.

PHR2 based on an internal Style,

delete the original data before

recording. Overdub recording is

not possible on channels BASS-

Changing the Source Chord

If you want to record the pattern

with a Source Chord other than

CM7, set the PLAY ROOT and

PLAY CHORD parameters on the

PARAMETER page (page 124)

before recording.

Rules when recording non-rhythm channels

• Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE

channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B).

• Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD chan-

nels (i.e., C, E, G, and B).

Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is

appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make dur-

ing your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note con-

version is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the

example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and

type) from the PARAMETER display on page 124. Keep in mind that when

you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the

chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details on

chord notes and recommended notes, see page 125.

Step Recording (EDIT)

The explanation here applies when selecting the EDIT tab in step 4 of “Realtime

Recording” (page 115).

In the EDIT display, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step

Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 148),

with the exception of the points listed below:

• In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Cre-

ator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is automatically

ﬁxed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a Style based on

a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the

end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display.

• Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; how-

ever, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel

in the BASIC tab display.

• In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data

can be edited (delete, copy, or move). You can switch between the two by press-

ing the [F] button. However, Chord, Lyrics, and System Exclusive data cannot be

entered.

■ GROOVE

This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making

subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all

channels of the selected Style.

■ DYNAMICS

This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback.

The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected

Style.

ORIGINAL BEAT Speciﬁes the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other

words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes;

if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets.

BEAT CONVERTER Actually changes the timing of the beats (speciﬁed in the ORIGINAL

BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when

ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,”

all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The

“16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT

is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting.

SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats,

depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if

the speciﬁed ORIGINAL BEAT value is “8 Beat,” the Swing parameter

will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure

to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different

degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most

pronounced.

FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected

section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early,

while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered

settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats

up to the speciﬁed beat — but not including the ﬁrst beat — will be

played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is

selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types

produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect.

CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied.

ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied — in other words, which notes in

the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings.

STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be

applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect.

EXPAND/COMP. Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than

100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% com-

press it.

BOOST/CUT Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values

above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100%

reduce it.

advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create

your own Styles.

The chart shown at left indicates the process by which the

Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm

track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator

feature.

• Source Pattern

There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback

notes, depending on the particular root note and chord

type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately con-

verted depending on the chord changes you make during

your performance. This basic Style data that you create

with the Style Creator is referred to as the “Source Pat-

tern.”

• Note Transposition

This parameter group features two parameters that deter-

mine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be con-

verted in response to chord changes.

• Other Settings

Using the parameters of this group, you can ﬁne-tune how

Style playback responds to the chords you play. For exam-

ple, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the

Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shift-

ing the pitch to an authentic range — ensuring that no

notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instru-

ment (e.g., very low notes of a piccolo sound).

deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord

included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default

CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change,

depending on the newly selected chord type.

When the Play Root is C:

■ NTR (Note Transposition Rule)

This determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted

from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes.

CAUTION

The edited Style will be lost if

you change to another Style

or you turn the power off

without executing the Save

operation.

Auditioning Your Style with a

Speciﬁc Chord

Normally in the Style Creator,

you can hear your original Style-

in-process with the Source Pat-

tern. However, there is a way to

hear it played by a speciﬁc chord

and root. To do this, set NTR to

“Root Fixed,” NTT to “Bypass,”

and NTT BASS to “OFF” then

change the newly displayed

“Play Root” and “Play Chord”

parameters to the desired set-

tings.

ROOT TRANS

(Root Transpose)

When the root note is transposed, the

pitch relationship between notes is

maintained. For example, the notes

C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become

F3, A3 and C4 when they are trans-

posed to F. Use this setting for chan-

nels that contain melody lines.

ROOT FIXED The note is kept as close as possible to

the previous note range. For example,

the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of

C become C3, F3 and A3 when they

are transposed to F. Use this setting for

channels that contain chord parts.

■ NTT (Note Transposition Table)

This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern.

■ NTT BASS ON/OFF

The channels for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note,

when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument.

■ HIGH KEY

This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord

root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed

down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR param-

eter (page 125) is set to “Root Trans.”

BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not

do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table

used only converts the root note.

MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels

such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2.

CHORD Suitable for chord transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2

channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal

parts.

MELODIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this

table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the

chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is

raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody

channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such

as Intros and Endings.

MELODIC MINOR

5th

In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and

diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern.

HARMONIC

MINOR

When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this

table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone.

When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor

third and ﬂatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are

not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond

only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings.

HARMONIC

MINOR 5th

In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and

diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this

table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a

semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the

minor third, ﬂatted sixth and ﬂatted seventh intervals are raised by a

semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of

Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and

Endings.

NATURAL MINOR

5th

In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and

diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this

table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone.

When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor

third and ﬂatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes

are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond

only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings.

DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and dimin-

ished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern.

■ NOTE LIMIT

This sets the note range (highest and lowest notes) for voices recorded to the style

channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the voices sound

as realistic as possible — in other words, that no notes outside the natural range

are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). The actual notes that

sound are automatically shifted to the set range.

■ RTR (Retrigger Rule)

These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change

pitch in response to chord changes.

STOP The notes stop sounding.

PITCH SHIFT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type

of the new chord.

PITCH SHIFT TO

ROOT

The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root

of the new chord.

RETRIGGER The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding

to the next chord.

RETRIGGER TO

ROOT

The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next

chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same.

■ Queuing the Next Playback Song

While a Song is playing back, you can queue up the next Song for playback. This is

convenient for chaining it to the next Song smoothly during stage performance.

Select the Song you want play next in the Song Selection display, while a Song is

playing back.

The “NEXT” indication appears at the upper right of the corresponding Song name.

To cancel this setting, press the [8

†

] (Cancel) button.

■ Using the Auto Accompaniment Features with the

Song Playback

When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, channels 9–16 in the Song

data are replaced with style channels — allowing you to play the accompaniment

parts of the Song yourself. Try playing chords along with the Song playback as

shown in the instructions below.

1 Select a Song (page 36).

2 Select a Style (page 46).

3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [ACMP] button to turn on the Auto

Accompaniment function.

4 Press the STYLE CONTROL [SYNC START] button to enable standby

— letting you simultaneously start the accompaniment as soon as you

start playing.

5 Press the SONG [FF

/KK

] (PLAY/PAUSE) button to start playback.

6 Play chords along with the Song.

The chord name is indicated in the Main display. To return to the Main dis-

play, press the [DIRECT ACCESS] button, then press the [EXIT] button.

When the Song playback is stopped, the Style playback is also stopped at the same

time.

•Tempo for playing back a Song and a Style at the same time

When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, the tempo value set in

the Song is automatically used.

Parameter Lock

You can “lock” speciﬁc parame-

ters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.)

to make them selectable only via

the panel controls (page 133).

For songs without chord data,

the chord name will not be dis-

played in the Main display dur-

ing Song playback.

Playing Songs with the Quick Start function

With the default settings, the Quick Start function is turned on. On some

commercially available Song data, certain settings related to the Song

(such as voice selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the ﬁrst measure,

before the actual note data. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” the instru-

ment reads all initial non-note data of the Song at the highest possible

speed, then automatically slows down to the appropriate tempo at the ﬁrst

note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a mini-

mum pause for reading of data. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” a Song is

played back directly from the ﬁrst note (which may be in the middle of a

measure). If you want to play from the beginning of the measure that has

silence prior to the ﬁrst note, turn Quick Start “OFF.”

For Keyboard Performance

Follow Lights

When this is selected, Song playback pauses, waiting for you to play the notes cor-

rectly. When you play the correct notes, Song playback continues. Follow Lights

was developed for the Yamaha Clavinova series. This function is used for practicing

purposes, with built-in lamps on the Clavinova keyboard indicating the notes to be

played. Even though the PSR-OR700 does not have these lamps, you can use the

same function by following the indications in the displayed notation with the Song

Score function.

Any Key

With this function, you can play the melody of a Song just by pressing a single key

(any key is OK) in time with the rhythm. Song playback pauses and waits for you to

play any key. Simply play a key on the keyboard in time with music and the Song

playback continues.

For Singing

Karao-key

This function lets you control the Song playback timing with just one ﬁnger, while

you sing along. Song playback pauses, waiting for you to sing. Simply play a key

on the keyboard (any key is OK) and the Song playback continues. (For this func-

tion, the notes of the keyboard do not sound.)

Turning playback channels of the Song on and off

A Song consists of 16 separate channels. You can independently turn each

channel of the selected Song playback on or off. Usually, CH 1 is assigned to

[TR 1] button, CH 2 is assigned to [TR 2] button, and CH 3–16 are assigned

Recording Your Performance to MIDI

You can record your own performances and save them to the User tab display or a

USB storage device. Several different recording methods are available:

Quick Recording which lets you record performance conveniently and quickly,

Multi track Recording which lets you record several different parts to multiple

channels, and Step Recording which lets you enter notes one by one. And since the

recorded data is MIDI, you can easily edit your songs, too.

For details on MIDI, see page 174, “What is MIDI?”

Recording Methods

There are three methods as shown below.

You can also edit Songs after they’ve been recorded (page 158).

For example, you can edit speciﬁc notes one by one, or you can use the Punch In/

Out function to re-record a speciﬁc part.

Quick Recording

This lets you conveniently and quickly record your performance.

1 Press the SONG [REC] and SONG [JJ

] (STOP) buttons simulta-

neously.

A blank Song (“New Song”) is called up for recording.

Interna

memory

(

User ta

displays) capacity

The internal memory capacity of

the instrument is about 560KB.

This capacity applies to all ﬁle

types, including Voice, Style,

Song, and Registration data ﬁles.

Quick Recording

➤ See below.

This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly

record your performance — useful, for example, in recording

solo piano pieces. You can record to the [TR 1 (R)] or [TR 2 (L)]

button, and also to the [EXTRA TR (STYLE)] track, which can be

used for recording at the same time.

Multi track Recording

➤ page 145

This lets you record a whole Song including several different

instrument parts, to create the sound of a full band or orchestra.

Record the performance of each instrument part one by one

and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record

over already-recorded parts of an existing Song (Preset Song or

a Song on USB storage device) with your own performance.

Step Recording

➤ page 148

This method lets you compose your performance by “writing”

it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual

recording method – similar to writing music notation onto

paper. You can input notes, chords and other events one by

one (realtime performance is not needed).

When re-recording a speciﬁc section of an already-recorded Song, use the Punch

IN/OUT function. In this method, only the data between the Punch In point and

the Punch Out point is overwritten with the newly recorded data. Keep in mind

that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over,

although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out

timing. You can specify the Punch In and Punch Out points as measure numbers

beforehand for automatic operation, or manually execute the Punch In/Out record-

ing by using a Foot Pedal or simply by playing the keyboard.

Examples of re-recording with various Punch In/Out settings

This instrument features several different ways you use the Punch In/Out function.

The illustrations below indicate a variety of situations in which selected measures

in an eight-measure phrase are re-recorded.

■ Pedal Punch In/Out settings

When this is set to ON, you can use the Foot Pedal 2 to control the punch-in and

punch-out points. While a Song is playing back, pressing (and holding) the Foot

Pedal 2 instantly enables Punch In recording, while releasing the pedal stops

recording (Punch Out).You can press and release the Foot Pedal 2 as often as you

want during playback, to punch in/out of overwrite recording. Note that the current

function assignment of the Foot Pedal 2 is cancelled when the Pedal Punch In/Out

function is set to ON.

■ QUANTIZE menu

The Quantize function allows you to align

the timing of all the notes in a channel. For

example, if you record the musical phrase

shown at right, you may not play it with

absolute precision, and your performance

may have been slightly ahead of or behind

the precise timing. Quantize is a conve-

nient way of correcting for this.

■ Deleting the data of the speciﬁed channel (DELETE menu)

You can delete the data of the speciﬁed channel in the Song. Select the channel

whose data to be deleted by using the [1

π†

]–[8

π†

] buttons, then press the [D]

(EXECUTE) button to execute the operation.

About Quantize size (resolu-

tion)

The Quantize size or resolution

is the number of clocks per quar-

ter note.

CHANNEL Determines the channel in the Song to be quantized.

SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the

Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth

notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize

size.

Settings

The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally conve-

nient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same

time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are

contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all

notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes — completely elimi-

nating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet

setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly.

STRENGTH Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% pro-

duces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved

toward the speciﬁed quantization beats according to the speciﬁed percentage.

Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human”

feel in the recording.

Assignable Pedal Functions

VOLUME* Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume.

SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal,

all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immedi-

ately stops (damps) any sustained notes.

SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on

the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as

long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it

possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato.

SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the vol-

ume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain

appropriate Voices.

GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when

the pedal is released.

PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal

is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is

played while the preceding note is still held). Portamento Time can also be adjusted

from the Mixing Console (page 86). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices,

which would not sound appropriately with this function.

PITCH BEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal.

MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. The effect becomes deeper

when pressing down the foot controller. You can turn this function on/off for each key-

board part on this display.

Connecting to a computer

and USB device

Connecting a Computer (4 [MIDI] and

5 [USB TO HOST] terminals)

By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] or

[MIDI] terminals, you can transfer data between the

instrument and the computer via MIDI, and take advan-

tage of sophisticated computer music programs. Keep in

mind that you also need to install an appropriate USB-

MIDI driver.

The instructions below explain how to connect and use

the terminals.

If you are using a computer that has a USB interface, we recom-

mend that you connect the computer and the instrument by USB,

rather than by MIDI.

Driver

A driver is software that provides a data-transfer interface between

the computer’s operating system and a connected hardware

device. You need to install a USB-MIDI driver to connect the com-

puter and the instrument. Refer to the separate Installation Guide

(page 4).

(This explanation is divided into two parts, covering the

two connections: connection to the [USB TO HOST]

terminal and connection to the [MIDI] terminal.)

• Connecting to the [USB TO HOST] terminal

When connecting the instrument to the computer via

USB, use a standard USB cable (having the USB logo)

to connect the [USB TO HOST] terminal on the

instrument to the USB terminal of the computer. Then,

install the USB-MIDI driver.

About the [USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE] terminals

There are two different types of USB terminals on the instrument:

[USB TO HOST] and [USB TO DEVICE]. Take care not to confuse

the two terminals and the corresponding cable connectors.

Be careful to connect the proper plug in the proper direction.

Explanations on the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal follow in the next

section.

•The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the

USB connection is made.

• When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your

computer, make the connection directly without passing

through a USB hub.

•For information on setting up your sequence software, refer to

the owner’s manual of the relevant software.

Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] terminal

When connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] termi-

nal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so

risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing data. If the

computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the

instrument off and restart the computer.

• Before connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] ter-

minal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer

(such as suspended, sleep, standby), and quit any open appli-

cation software, also turns off the power to the instrument.

• Execute the following before turning the power to the instru-

ment off or unplugging the USB cable to/from the instrument/

computer.

- Quit any open application software on the computer.

- Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the

instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on

the keyboard or playing back a song.)

• While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you

should wait for six seconds or more between these

operations: When turning the power of the instrument

off then on again, or when alternately connecting/dis-

connecting the USB cable.

Connecting to a computer and USB device

• Connection by [MIDI] terminals

There are two ways to connect the instrument via

MIDI to a computer. If you have a MIDI interface built

into your computer, connect the MIDI OUT terminal

of the computer interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of

the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal

of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the inter-

face.

The second connection possibility involves a sepa-

rate, external MIDI interface connected to the com-

puter via a USB port or a serial port (modem or

printer terminal). Using standard MIDI cables, con-

nect the MIDI OUT terminal of the external interface

to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the instrument, and con-

nect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of the instrument to the

MIDI IN terminal of the interface.

Make sure to use the appropriate MIDI interface for your com-

puter.

Connecting to a USB Storage Device

(6 via the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal)

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device

with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve

created to the connected device, as well as read data

from the connected device.

What is MIDI?

Put simply, MIDI is a data transfer standard that allows

easy and comprehensive control among electronic/digi-

tal music instruments and other devices. To get a better

idea of what MIDI does, let’s ﬁrst consider acoustic

instruments, such as a grand piano and a classical gui-

tar. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer

inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the gui-

tar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds.

But how does a digital instrument go about playing a

note?

As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic

instrument the sampled note (previously recorded note)

stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit)

is played based on information received from the key-

board.

Now, let’s examine what happens when we playback a

recording. When you play back a music CD (for exam-

ple, a solo piano recording), you’re hearing the actual

sound (vibration in air) of the acoustic instrument. This

is called audio data, to distinguish it from MIDI data.

In the above example, the actual acoustic sounds of the

pianist’s performance are captured in the recording as

audio data, and this is recorded to CD. When you play

back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the

actual piano performance. The piano itself is not neces-

sary, since the recording contains the actual sounds of

the piano, and your speakers reproduce them.

In the case of digital instruments, the audio signals are sent

through output jacks (such as [AUX OUT]) on the instrument.

The “controller” and “tone generator” in the illustration

above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic exam-

ple. Here, the player’s performance on the keyboard is

captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In

order to record the audio performance on an acoustic

piano, special recording equipment is needed. How-

ever, since the PSR-OR700 features a built-in sequencer

that lets you record performance data, this recording

equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instru-

ment allows you to both record and play back the data.

However, we also need a sound source to produce the

audio, which eventually comes from your speakers. The

tone generator of the instrument ﬁlls this function. The

recorded performance is reproduced by the sequencer,

playing back the song data, using a tone generator

capable of accurately producing various instrument

sounds — including that of a piano. Looked at in

another way, the relation of the sequencer and the tone

generator is similar to that of the pianist and the piano

— one plays the other. Since digital instruments handle

playback data and the actual sounds independently, we

can hear our piano performance played by another

instrument, such as guitar or violin.

Even though it is a single musical instrument, the PSR-OR700 can

be thought of as containing several electronic components: a con-

troller, a tone generator, and a sequencer.

What is MIDI?

Finally, we’ll take a look at the actual data that gets

recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the

sounds. For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter

note using the grand piano sound on the instrument’s

keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a

resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out infor-

mation from the keyboard such as “with what voice,”

“with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it

pressed” and “when was it released.” Then each piece

of information is changed into a number value and sent

to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis

for sound generation, the tone generator plays the

stored sampled note.

Example Keyboard Data

Panel operations on the instrument, such as playing the

keyboard and selecting voices, are processed and

stored as MIDI data. The auto accompaniment Styles

and Songs also consist of MIDI data.

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument

Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical

instruments to communicate with each other, by send-

ing and receiving compatible Note, Control Change,

Program Change and various other types of MIDI data,

or messages.

The instrument can control a MIDI device by transmit-

ting note related data and various types of controller

data. The instrument can be controlled by incoming

MIDI messages which automatically determine the tone

generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and

effects, change parameter values and of course play the

voices speciﬁed for the various parts.

MIDI data has the following advantages over audio data:

•The amount of data is much less.

•The data can be effectively and easily edited, even to the point

of changing voices and transforming the data.

MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Chan-

nel messages and System messages.

Channel Messages

The PSR-OR700 is an electronic instrument that can

handle 16 MIDI channels (or reception of 32 channels

for MIDI data reception when using the [USB] termi-

nal). This is usually expressed as “it can play 16 instru-

ments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit

information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change,

for each of the 16 channels.

The performance data of all Songs and Styles is handled as MIDI

data.

MIDI Channels

MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen

MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1–16, the perfor-

mance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be

simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable.

Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV

station transmits its broadcasts over a speciﬁc channel.

Your home TV set receives many different programs

simultaneously from several TV stations and you select

the appropriate channel to watch the desired program.

MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The trans-

mitting instrument sends MIDI data on a speciﬁc MIDI

channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI

cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instru-

ment’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches

the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will

sound according to the data sent by the transmitting

instrument.

The instrument’s keyboard and internal tone generator are also

connected by MIDI. → LOCAL CONTROL (page 180)

For example, several parts or channels can be transmit-

ted simultaneously, including the Style data (as shown

on the next page).

What is MIDI?

Example: Recording a performance with the auto accompa-

niment (Style playback) sound of the instrument to an exter-

nal sequencer

As you can see, it is essential to determine which data is

to be sent over which MIDI channel when transmitting

MIDI data (page 180).

The instrument also allows you to determine how the

received data is played back (page 181).

System Messages

This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI

system. These include System Exclusive messages for

transferring data unique to each instrument manufac-

turer and Realtime messages for controlling the MIDI

device.

The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-OR700

are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Imple-

mentation Chart in the Data List. The Data List is avail-

able at the Yamaha website. (See page 5.)

What You Can Do With MIDI

■ Record your performance data (1–16 channels) using

the auto accompaniment features on an external

sequencer (or computer with sequencer software).

After recording, edit the data with the sequencer,

then play it back on the instrument.

When you want to use the instrument as an XG-com-

patible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive part

for MIDI channels 1-16 to “SONG” in MIDI/USB 1 in

MIDI Receive (page 181).

■ Controlling from an external MIDI keyboard

MIDI Data Compatibility

This section covers basic information on data compati-

bility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback

the data recorded by PSR-OR700, and whether or not

the PSR-OR700 can playback commercially available

song data or song data created for other instruments or

on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data

characteristics, you may be able to play back the data

without any problem, or you may have to perform some

special operations before the data can be played back.

If you run into problems playing back data, please refer

to the information below.

Sequence Formats

Song data is recorded and stored in a variety of different

systems, referred to as “sequence formats.”

Playback is only possible when the sequence format of

the Song data matches that of the MIDI device. The

PSR-OR700 is compatible with the following formats.

● SMF (Standard MIDI ﬁle)

This is the most common sequence format. Standard

MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types:

Format 0 or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are compati-

ble with Format 0, and most commercially available

software is recorded as Format 0.

•The PSR-OR700 is compatible with both Format 0

and Format 1.

• Song data recorded on the PSR-OR700 is automati-

cally saved as SMF Format 0.

● ESEQ

This sequence format is compatible with many of

Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR-S900/S700

series instruments. This is a common format used with

various Yamaha software.

•The PSR-OR700 is compatible with ESEQ.

● XF

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard

MIDI File) format with greater functionality and open-

ended expandability for the future. The PSR-OR700 is

capable of displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle containing

lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format

used for MIDI sequence ﬁles. The PSR-OR700 is com-

patible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song”

data using SMF Format 0.)

● Style File

The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s

auto accompaniment know-how into a single uniﬁed

format.

Voice Allocation Format

With MIDI, Voices are assigned to speciﬁc numbers,

called “program numbers.” The numbering standard

(order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice

allocation format.”

Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice

allocation format of the song data matches that of the

compatible MIDI device used for playback. The PSR-

OR700 is compatible with the following formats.

Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above,

the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the

speciﬁcations of the devices and particular data recording meth-

ods.

● GM System Level 1

This is one of the most common voice allocation for-

mats.

Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System

Level 1, as is most commercially available software.

● GM System Level 2

“GM System Level 2” is a standard speciﬁcation that

enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and

improves Song data compatibility. It provides for

increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded

voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

● XG

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1

format, and was developed by Yamaha speciﬁcally to

provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater

expressive control over Voices and effects, and to

ensure compatibility of data well into the future.

Song data recorded on the PSR-S900/S700 using Voices

in the XG category is XG-compatible.

● DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection)

This voice allocation format is compatible with many of

Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR-OR700

series instruments.

● GS

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation.

In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhance-

ment of the GM speciﬁcally to provide more Voices and

Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expres-

sive control over Voices and effects.

MIDI Settings

In this section, you can make MIDI-related settings for

the instrument. The PSR-OR700 gives you a set of ten

pre-programmed templates that let you instantly and

easily reconﬁgure the instrument to match your particu-

lar MIDI application or external device. Also, you can

edit the pre-programmed templates and save up to ten

of your original templates to the USER display. You can

then save all these original templates as a single ﬁle to

USB storage devices, in the MIDI SETUP selection dis-

play (called up by pressing [FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY

Pre-Programmed MIDI Templates

Template name Description

All Parts Transmits all parts including the keyboard parts (RIGHT 1, 2, and LEFT), with the

exception of Song parts.

KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “All Parts” with the exception of how keyboard parts are man-

aged. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1 and 2 and the

left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.”

Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling

one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/

sequencer).

Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to play

Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external

sequencer.

Clock Ext Playback (Song or Style) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instru-

ment’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on

the MIDI device connected to the instrument.

MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators

from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you play

melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with the left-

hand buttons.

MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord 1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass

notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI

note events.

MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially

convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the

chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit.

MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit.

MIDI OFF No MIDI signals are sent or received.

The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM display to

be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on

page 177.

■ LOCAL CONTROL

Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When

Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the instru-

ment controls its own (local) internal tone generator,

allowing the internal voices to be played directly from

the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard

and controllers are internally disconnected from the

instrument’s tone generator section so that no sound is

output when you play the keyboard or use the control-

lers. For example, this allows you to use an external

MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal voices,

and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the

external sequencer and/or play an external tone genera-

tor.

■ Clock setting, etc.

● CLOCK

Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its

own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from

an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock set-

ting when the instrument is being used alone or as a

master keyboard to control external devices. If you are

using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI

computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to syn-

chronize it to that device, set this parameter to the

appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case,

make sure that the external device is connected prop-

erly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that

it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When

this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB

1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the

Main display.

● TRANSMIT CLOCK

Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set

to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted

even if a Song or Style is played back.

● RECEIVE TRANSPOSE

Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose

setting (page 58) is applied to the note events received

by the instrument via MIDI.

● START/STOP

Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop)

messages affect Song or Style playback.

■ MESSAGE SW

● SYS/EX.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI Sys-

tem Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns

MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclu-

sive messages generated by external equipment on or

off.

● CHORD SYS/EX.

The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord

exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) on or off.

The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition

of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external

equipment on or off.

MIDI Transmit Settings

The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT display

to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on

page 177. This determines which parts will be sent as

MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will

be sent.

Operation

Select the part to be transmitted and the channel via

which the selected part will be transmitted. You can also

determine the types of data to be sent.

● With the exception of the next two parts, the

conﬁguration of the parts is the same as those

already explained elsewhere in this manual.

• UPPER

The keyboard part played on the right side of the key-

board from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT1 and/

or 2).

• LOWER

The keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard

from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by

the on/off status of the [ACMP] button.

● Tx MONITOR

The dots corresponding to each channel (1-16) ﬂash

brieﬂy whenever any data is transmitted on the chan-

nel(s).

When different parts are assigned to the same transmit

channel

If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts,

the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel —

resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the con-

nected MIDI device.

About the protected Songs

Write-protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper

Song channels 1–16 are set to be transmitted.

MIDI Receive Settings

The explanations here apply to the RECEIVE display to

be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on

page 177. This determines which parts will receive

MIDI data and over which MIDI channels the data will

be received.

Operation

Select the channel to be received and the part via which

the selected channel will be received. You can also

determine the types of data to be received.

● The PSR-OR700 can receive MIDI messages over

32 channels (16 channels x 2 ports) by USB con-

nection.

● With the exception of the next two parts, the

conﬁguration of the parts is the same as those

already explained elsewhere in this manual.

• KEYBOARD

The received note messages control the instrument’s

keyboard performance.

• EXTRA PART 1-5

There are ﬁve parts specially reserved for receiving

and playing MIDI data. Normally, these parts are not

used by the instrument itself. The PSR-OR700 can be

used as a 32-channel multi-timbral tone generator by

using these ﬁve parts in addition to the general parts.

● Rx MONITOR

The dots corresponding to each channel (1–16) ﬂash

brieﬂy whenever any data is received on the channel(s).

Parameter Lock

You can “lock” speciﬁc parameters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.) to

make them selectable only via the panel controls (page 133).

■ MIDI transmission/reception via the USB ter-

minal and MIDI terminals

The relationship between the [MIDI] terminals and the

Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback

via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the BASS display to be

called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on

page 177.

These settings let you determine the bass note for Style

playback, based on the note messages received via

MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the chan-

nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the

chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected

regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When

several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the

bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received

over the channels.

Operation

Select the channel and set the “ON/OFF” for that chan-

nel. Use the All OFF item to set all channels to OFF.

Setting the Chord Type for Style Play-

back via MIDI Receive

The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT

display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Opera-

tion” on page 177.

These settings let you determine the chord type for Style

playback, based on the note messages received via

MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the chan-

nel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for

detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be

detected depend on the ﬁngering type. The chord type

will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point

settings. When several channels are simultaneously set

to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI

data received over the channels.

The operation procedure is basically the same as that of

the BASS display.

Troubleshooting

The instrument does not turn on.

• Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the

instrument, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet.

A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on

or off.

• Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This

is normal.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers.

• Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the

instrument or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile

phone, or use it further away from the instrument.

The letters in the display cannot be read, because the

display is too bright (or dark).

• Use the [LCD CONTRAST] knob to adjust for optimum

visibility.

• Adjust the brightness of the display (page 20).

The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard.

•The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an

appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial.

• All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF

[RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on.

•The volume of the individual parts may be set too low.

Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 41).

• Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 105).

• Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker out-

put. Unplug the headphones.

•The [FADE IN/OUT] button is on, muting the sound.

Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button to turn the function off.

• Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON

(page 180).

Not all simultaneously played notes sound.

•You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony

(page 187) of the instrument. When the maximum

polyphony is exceeded, the earliest played notes will

stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound.

The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style

playback volume.

•The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low.

Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 41).

Keys do not sound at the proper pitch.

• Make sure the Performance Assistant function is off on

the operation display (page 44).

Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch.

The Scale parameter has probably been set to some-

thing other than “Equal,” changing the tuning system of

the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as the

Scale in the Scale Tune display (page 99).

– There is a slight difference in sound quality among

different notes played on the keyboard.

– Some Voices have a looping sound.

– Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher

pitches, depending upon the voice.

•This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sam-

pling system.

Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played

in the upper or lower registers.

•This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which,

when reached, causes this type of pitch shift.

The Main display does not appear even when turning

the power on.

•This may occur if a USB storage device has been

installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB stor-

age device may result a long interval between turning

the power on and appearance of the Main display. To

avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the

device.

Some characters of the ﬁle/folder name are garbled.

•The language settings have been changed. Set the appro-

priate language for the ﬁle/folder name (page 19).

An existing ﬁle is not shown.

•The ﬁle extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed

or deleted. Manually rename the ﬁle, adding the appro-

priate extension, on a computer.

The data contained in the USB storage device is not

shown on the instrument itself.

• Data ﬁles with names of more than 50 characters cannot

be handled by the instrument. Rename the ﬁle, reducing

the number of characters to 50 or less.

• When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum

kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parame-

ter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are

reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore

the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you

can restore the original sound by returning to the begin-

ning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the

case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by

selecting the same Style again.

Tremolo/Trill cannot be applied to the Organ Flute

Voice.

•This is normal; Tremolo and Trill settings in the Har-

mony/Echo display are not effective for Organ Flute

Voices.

The Harmony function does not operate.

• Harmony cannot be used with the Full Keyboard or AI

Full Keyboard ﬁngering modes. Select an appropriate

ﬁngering mode (page 104).

When a Voice is changed, the previously selected

effect is changed.

• Each Voice has its own suitable preset settings, which are

automatically recalled when the corresponding Voice

Set parameters are turned on (page 98).

The Voice produces excessive noise.

• Certain Voices may produce noise, depending on the

Harmonic Content and/or Brightness settings in the FIL-

TER page of the Mixing Console display (page 86).

The sound is distorted or noisy.

•The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all

relevant volume settings are appropriate.

•This may be caused by certain effects. Try canceling all

unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects

(page 88).

• Adjust the sound using the [8

π†

] (TOTAL GAIN ADJ.)

buttons from the display shown in step 6 of “Editing and

Saving the selected EQ” (page 91), if you are using the

Master EQ.

• Some ﬁlter resonance settings in the VOICE SET display

(page 94) can result in distorted sound. Adjust these set-

tings if necessary.

• Noise may occur depending on the settings made in the

Filter display of the Mixing Console. Adjust the Har-

monic Content or Brightness controls in the Filter display

(page 86).

The sound does not change when replacing Voices

with the Song Auto Revoice feature.

• Depending on the particular Song data, there are some

instances where Song Auto Revoice has no effect, even

when replacing Voices.

The sound of the Voice doesn’t change, even when

editing the Voice.

•Keep in mind that adjustments made to the parameters

may not make much change in the actual sound depend-

ing on the original settings of the Voice.

Voices other than those in the Preset display cannot

be selected for Step recording.

•This is normal.

Style playback does not start.

• Make sure to press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP]

on; press the [ACMP] button.

•You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the

keyboard. Make sure to play keys in the chord range of

the keyboard.

Styles cannot be selected.

• If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or

greater), the Style cannot be selected because the data is

too large to be ready by the instrument.

The desired chord is not recognized or output by the

auto accompaniment.

•You may not be playing the correct keys for indicating

the chord. Refer to “Chord Types Recognized in the Fin-

gered Mode” of the Data List. The Data List is available

at the Yamaha website. (See page 5.)

•You may be playing the keys according to a different ﬁn-

gering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check

the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according

to the selected mode (page 104).

Synchro Stop cannot be turned on.

• Synchro Stop cannot be turned on when the ﬁngering

mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard,” or

when the [ACMP] button is set to off. Make sure the ﬁn-

gering mode is set to something besides “Full Keyboard”

or “Al Full Keyboard” and set the [ACMP] button to on.

Auto accompaniment chords are recognized regard-

less of the split point or where chords are played on

the keyboard.

•This is normal if the ﬁngering mode is set to “Full Key-

board” or “AI Full Keyboard.” If either of these is

selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of

the keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If

desired, select a different ﬁngering mode (page 104).

group. Remove the checkmark from “STYLE” in the

Freeze setting display (page 134).

Even though a Registration Memory setting contain-

ing a User/USB voice is selected, the File Selection dis-

play shows a Preset Voice.

•This is normal; even with the Preset Voice shown, the

actual sounding Voice is the selected User/USB Voice.

When a User/USB Voice is saved to the User/USB drive,

the actual data is divided into two separate types: 1) the

source Preset Voice itself, and 2) the parameter settings

as set in the Voice Set. When you recall a Registration

Memory setting containing a User/USB Voice, the instru-

ment selects the Preset voice (on which the User/USB

Voice is based), then applies the relevant parameter set-

tings to it — so that your original User/USB Voice is

sounded.

Songs cannot be selected.

•This may be because the language settings have been

changed. Set the appropriate language for the Song ﬁle

name.

• If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or

greater), the Song cannot be selected because the data is

If you must use an extension cord, the minimum wire size for a 25’ cord (or less) is 18 AWG. NOTE: The smaller the AWG number, the larger the current handling capacity. For longer extension cords, consult a local electrician. This product should be used only with the components supplied or; a cart, rack, or stand that is recommended by Yamaha. If a cart, etc., is used, please observe all safety markings and instructions that accompany the accessory product. SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE: The information contained in this manual is believed to be correct at the time of printing. However, Yamaha reserves the right to change or modify any of the specifications without notice or obligation to update existing units. This product, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speaker/s, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. DO NOT operate for long periods of time at a high volume level or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should consult an audiologist. IMPORTANT: The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before damage occurs. Some Yamaha products may have benches and / or accessory mounting fixtures that are either supplied with the product or as optional accessories. Some of these items are designed to be dealer assembled or installed. Please make sure that benches are stable and any optional fixtures (where applicable) are well secured BEFORE using. Benches supplied by Yamaha are designed for seating only. No other uses are recommended.

The average life span of this type of battery is approximately five years. When replacement becomes necessary, contact a qualified service representative to perform the replacement. This product may also use “household” type batteries. Some of these may be rechargeable. Make sure that the battery being charged is a rechargeable type and that the charger is intended for the battery being charged. When installing batteries, do not mix batteries with new, or with batteries of a different type. Batteries MUST be installed correctly. Mismatches or incorrect installation may result in overheating and battery case rupture. Warning: Do not attempt to disassemble, or incinerate any battery. Keep all batteries away from children.

NAME PLATE LOCATION: The name plate is located on the bottom of the product. The model number, serial number, power requirements, etc., are located on this plate. You should record the model number, serial number, and the date of purchase in the spaces provided below and retain this manual as a permanent record of your purchase. Service charges incurred due to a lack of knowledge relating to how a function or effect works (when the unit is operating as designed) are not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and are therefore the owners responsibility. Please study this manual carefully and consult your dealer before requesting service. Model ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: Purchase Date Serial No. Yamaha strives to produce products that are both user safe and environmentally friendly. We sincerely believe that our products and the production methods used to produce them, meet these goals. In keeping with both the letter and the spirit of the law, we want you to be aware of the following: 92-BP (bottom) PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING * Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference. WARNING Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following: Power supply/AC power adaptor Water warning • Only use the voltage specified as correct for the instrument. The required voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument. • 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. • Use the specified adaptor (PA-301, PA-300 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. • Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it. Fire warning • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. • Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it. If you notice any abnormality • If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Do not open • Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. 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 • Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over. • When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord. • Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other 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. • Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. • Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet. • Use only the stand specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. Location • Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components. • Do not place objects in front of the instrument’s air vent, since this may prevent adequate ventilation of the internal components, and possibly result in the instrument overheating. • 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. (3)-10 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 3 Connections Saving data Saving and backing up your data • Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. • The data of the types listed below are lost when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save the data to the USER tab display (page 27), or USB storage device (USB flash memory/floppy disk, etc). • Recorded/Edited Songs (page 43, 143, 158) • Created/Edited Styles (page 114) Maintenance • Edited Voices (page 92) • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. • Memorized One Touch Settings (page 51) • Edited MIDI settings (page 177) • Scale tune settings (page 99) Handling caution • Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument. • Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on the panel or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. Moreover, the above-mentioned data can be saved all at once. Refer to page 75. Data in the USER tab display (page 27) may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a USB storage device (USB flash memory/floppy disk, etc). • Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard. When you change settings in a display page and then exit from that page, System Setup data (listed in the Parameter Chart of the Data List downloadable from the web) is automatically stored. However, this edited data is lost if you turn off the power without properly exiting from the relevant display. Refer to page 5 for how to obtain the Data List. • 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. 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 power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.

PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 21 Handling the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks Introduction An optional floppy disk drive UD-FD01 can be connected to this instrument. It lets you save original data you’ve created on the instrument to floppy disk, and allows you to load data from floppy disk to the instrument. Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below. Floppy Disk Compatibility CAUTION Do not remove the floppy disk or turn off the instrument itself while the disk is being accessed. Doing so may result not only in loss of data on the disk but also damage to the floppy disk drive. • Be sure to remove the floppy disk from the disk drive before turning off the power. A floppy disk left in the drive for extended periods can easily pick up dust and dirt that can cause data-read and -write errors. • 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. Formatting a Floppy Disk • If you find that you are unable to use new, blank disks or old disks that have been used with other devices, you may need to format them. For details on how to format a disk, see page 66. Keep in mind that all data on the disk will be lost after formatting. Make sure to check beforehand whether or not the disk contains important data. n Floppy disks formatted on this device may or may not be usable as is on other devices. Inserting/Removing Floppy Disks Inserting a Floppy Disk into the Disk Drive: • Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot. Carefully insert the disk into the slot, slowly pushing it all the way in until it clicks into place and the eject button pops out. n Never insert anything but floppy disks into the disk drive. Other objects may cause damage to the disk drive or floppy disks. Removing a Floppy Disk • After checking that the instrument is not accessing* the floppy disk (checking that the use lamp on the floppy disk drive is off), firmly press the eject button at the upper right of the disk slot all the way in. When the floppy disk is ejected, pull it out of the drive. If the floppy disk cannot be removed because it is stuck, do not try to force it, but instead try pressing the eject button again, or try re-inserting the disk and attempt to eject it again. * Access of the disk indicates an active operation, such as recording, playback, or deletion of data. If a floppy disk is inserted while the power is on, the disk is automatically accessed, since the instrument checks whether the disk has data. Cleaning the Disk Drive Read/Write Head • Clean the read/write head regularly. This instrument employs a precision magnetic read/write head which, after an extended period of use, will pick up a layer of magnetic particles from the disks used that will eventually cause read and write errors. • To maintain the disk drive in optimum working order Yamaha recommends that you use a commercially-available dry-type head cleaning disk to clean the head about once a month. Ask your Yamaha dealer about the availability of proper headcleaning disks. About Floppy Disks Handle floppy disks with care, and follow these precautions: • Do not place heavy objects on a disk or bend or apply pressure to the disk in any way. Always keep floppy disks in their protective cases when they are not in use. • Do not expose the disk to direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures, or excessive humidity, dust or liquids. • Do not open the sliding shutter and touch the exposed surface of the floppy disk inside. • Do not expose the disk to magnetic fields, such as those produced by televisions, speakers, motors, etc., since magnetic fields can partially or completely erase data on the disk, rendering it unreadable. • Never use a floppy disk with a deformed shutter or housing. • Do not attach anything other than the provided labels to a floppy disk. Also make sure that labels are attached in the proper location. To Protect Your Data (Write-protect Tab): • To prevent accidental erasure of important data, slide the disk's write-protect tab to the “protect” position (tab open). When saving data, make sure that the disk's write-protect tab is set to the “overwrite” position (tab closed). Write-protect tab open (protect position) 22 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Handling the USB Storage Device (USB Flash Memory/Floppy Disk, etc) This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device with a standard USB cable, you can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as well as read data from the connected device. Be sure to handle USB storage device with care. Follow the important precautions below. age device, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB storage device. Compatible USB storage devices • Up to two USB storage devices, such as a floppy disk drive, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, flash memory reader/writer, etc., can be connected to the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. (If necessary, use a USB hub. The number of USB storage devices that can be used with musical instruments simultaneously even when a USB hub is used is a maximum of two.) This instrument can recognize up to four drives in one USB storage device. Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot be used. • The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase. Before purchasing USB storage devices, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an authorized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice, or visit the following web page: http://music.yamaha.com/homekeyboard/ n Although CD-R/RW drives can be used to read data to the instrument, they cannot be used for saving data. Formatting USB storage media • When a USB storage device is connected or media is inserted, a message may appear prompting you to format the device/media. If so, execute the Format operation. • When connecting a USB storage device to the [USB TO DEVICE], make sure that the connector on the device is appropriate and that it is connected in the proper direction. Before removing the media from the device, make sure that the instrument is not accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations). Introduction n For more information about the handling of USB stor- Using USB Storage Devices CAUTION Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage device, or connecting/disconnecting the cable too often. Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freezing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the Save, Copy and Delete operations), do NOT unplug the USB cable, do NOT remove the media from the device, and do NOT turn the power off to either device. Doing so may corrupt the data on either or both devices. • If you are connecting two or three devices at the same time (such as two USB storage devices and a LAN adaptor), you should use a USB hub device. The USB hub must be self-powered (with its own power source) and the power must be on. Only one USB hub can be used. If an error message appears while using the USB hub, disconnect the hub from the instrument, then turn on the power of the instrument and re-connect the USB hub. • Though the instrument supports the USB 1.1 standard, you can connect and use a USB 2.0 storage device with the instrument. However, note that the transfer speed is that of USB 1.1. To protect your data (write-protect): To prevent important data from being inadvertently erased, apply the write-protect provided with each storage device or media. If you are saving data to the USB storage device, make sure to disable write-protect. CAUTION The format operation overwrites any previously existing data. Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain important data. Proceed with caution, especially when connecting multiple USB storage medias.

While a style is playing back and [ACMP] is on, simply play a chord with your left hand and press any of the Multi Pads — Chord Match changes the pitch to match the chords you play. You can also use this with the style stopped (with the Stop Accompaniment function). Keep in mind that some Multi Pads are not affected by Chord Match. + Chord section In this example, the phrase for Pad 1 will be transposed into F major before playing back. Try out other various chord types while playing the Multi Pads. Quick Guide Voice Effects The PSR-OR700 features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which can add extraordinary depth and expression to your sound. This effect system can be turned on or off by using the following buttons. These three effect systems are applied to the currently selected keyboard part (RIGHT 1, 2, or LEFT). • HARMONY/ECHO The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to “Applying Harmony to Your Righthand Melody” on page 54. • TOUCH This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When OFF, the same volume is produced no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard. • SUSTAIN When this Sustain function is on, all notes played on the keyboard (RIGHT 1/2 parts only) have a longer sustain. You can also set the sustain depth (page 95). • MONO When this button is on, the part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time). Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato. When this button is off, the part’s Voice played polyphonically. n Portamento Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. The portamento time (the pitch transition time) can be set via the MIXING CONSOLE display (page 86). • DSP/DSP VARI. With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways — such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall. • The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part. • The DSP VARI. (Variation) switch is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect. n DSP Stands for Digital Signal Processor (or Processing). DSP changes and enhances the audio signal in the digital realm to produce a wide range of effects. PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 53 Applying Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody (HARMONY/ECHO) Among the Voice Effects, Harmony is one of the most impressive. It automatically adds harmony parts to the notes you play with your right hand — immediately giving you a more full and professional sound. For details on the Harmony/ Echo types, see page 82. An optional foot pedal can also be used to turn the effect on and off (page 168). 1 Quick Guide 2 3 Turn the [Harmony/Echo] button on. Turn on both the [ACMP] button and [SYNC START] button (page 47) and make sure that the RIGHT 1 part is on (page 30). Play a chord with your left hand to start the style (page 47) and play some notes in the right-hand range of the keyboard. Split Point In this example, harmony notes in the scale of C major (the chord played in the left hand) are automatically added to the notes played in the Chord section right-hand range of the keyboard. Chord section You can also use the Harmony effect with the style stopped (with the Stop Accompaniment function; page 106). Simply hold down a chord with your left hand and play a melody with your right. Since the Harmony effect is added by detecting chords, if you play a melody with your right hand before playing any chord, no Harmony effect is added to the notes. Try out Harmony/Echo with some of the voices below... Many of the voices have been automatically set to play certain Harmony/Echo types that match the particular voice. Try out some of the voices below — playing chords with your left hand and melodies with your right — and listen to the various Harmony and Echo effects.

MegaVoice Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound — full of atmosphere and ambience. Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments — thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very sophisticated programming. Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology — and feature a sound so finely detailed and natural, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing! Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 96 for details. Using, Creating and Editing Voices The MegaVoices are not intended to be played from the keyboard. They are primarily designed for use with recorded MIDI sequence data (such as songs and styles). Some of the guitar and bass Voices in particular have been created as MegaVoices. What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Normal Voices use velocity switching, too — to make the sound quality and/or level of a Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the instrument’s Voices sound authentic and natural. However, with MegaVoices, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a Mega guitar Voice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data — especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. MegaVoices Compatibility MegaVoices are not compatible with other models. Any song/style data you’ve created on the PSROR700 using the MegaVoices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments. PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 77 Playing Different Voices Simultaneously Playing Different Voices Simultaneously The PSR-OR700 keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences that are simply unavailable on an acoustic instrument. It allows you to play several different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice with your left hand while you play a different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right.

Use the [4π†]–[8π†] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings (page 83). The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type. Harmony/Echo Types Using, Creating and Editing Voices The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied. Harmony Types These types apply the harmony effect to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard. (Note that the “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.) Multi Assign Type This type applies a special effect to chords played in the righthand section of the keyboard. Canceling the chord sound for the harmony effect This cancels the sound of the chord played in the chord range of the keyboard — letting you hear only the Harmony effect. Set [ACMP] to On, set [SYNC START] to Off, and select “Off” for the Stop Accompaniment parameter. 82 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Echo Types These types apply echo effects to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo. ● Harmony Types When one of the Harmony Types is selected, the Harmony effect is applied to notes played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the type Selecting the Harmony/Echo type selected above and the chord specified in the chord section of the keyboard shown below. Split point Split point Chord section for Style playback and Harmony effect Split Point (for Style) Split Point (for keyboard Voice) Right 1 Right 2 Voices Right 1 Right 2 Voices Using, Creating and Editing Voices Chord section Left Voice for Style playback and Harmony effect Left Voice and chord section for Harmony effect ● Multi Assign Type Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously in the right-hand section of the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to the notes in the order you play. ● Echo Types When one of the Echo Types is selected, the corresponding effect (echo, tremolo, trill) is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (last two notes if more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately. Harmony/Echo Settings VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the level of the harmony/echo notes generated by the Harmony/Echo effect. SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects. ASSIGN This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” This lets you determine the keyboard part via which the harmony/echo notes will be sounded. CHORD NOTE ONLY This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected. When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard. TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set value).

When recalling the saved effect, use the same procedure as in step 8. EQ (Equalizer) Equalizer (also called “EQ”) is a sound processor that divides the frequency spectrum into multiple bands that can be boosted or cut as required to tailor the overall frequency response. Usually an equalizer is used to correct the sound from speakers to match the special character of the room. For example, you can cut some of the low range frequencies when playing in large spaces where the sound is too “boomy,” or boost the high frequencies in rooms and close spaces where the sound is relatively “dead” and free of echoes. The instrument possesses a high-grade fiveband digital EQ. With this function, a final effect — tone control can be added to the output of your instrument. You can select one of the five preset EQ settings in the EQ display. You can even create your own custom EQ settings by adjusting the frequency bands, and save the settings to one of two User Master EQ types.

Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure” on page 92. The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 98), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected. The available parameters differ depending on the Voice. COMMON Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice. TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the volume responds to your playing strength. DEPTH Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity). OFFSET Determines the amount by which received velocities are adjusted for the actual velocity effect. PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1-2 parts, the R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available. MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. This setting can also be made from the VOICE CONTROL “MONO” button on the panel (page 53). PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time when the edited Voice is set to “MONO” above. n Portamento Time: The Portamento Time determines the pitch transition time. Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. CONTROLLER MODULATION The MODULATION wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato). Here, you can set the degree to which the pedal modulates each of the following parameters. FILTER AMPLITUDE LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see page 94. Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude (volume). Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the pitch, or the vibrato effect. LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the Filter modulation, or the wah effect. LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the pedal modulates the amplitude, or the tremolo effect.

The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. BRIGHTNESS Determines the cutoff frequency or effective frequency range of the filter (see diagram). Higher values result in a brighter sound. Volume Cutoff frequency These frequencies are “passed” by the filter. Using, Creating and Editing Voices HARMONIC CONTENT Frequency (pitch) Cutoff range Determines the emphasis given to the cutoff frequency (resonance), set in BRIGHTNESS above (see diagram). Higher values result in a more pronounced effect. Volume Resonance Frequency (pitch) ● EG The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone. ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack. DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay. RELEASE Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay. Level Sustain level ATTACK Key on 94 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual DECAY RELEASE Key off Time Voice Creating — Voice Set ● VIBRATO SPEED Pitch DEPTH DELAY Vibrato: A quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice. Time DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more pronounced Vibrato. SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect. DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset. EFFECT/EQ 1. REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH Adjusts the reverb (page 88) depth. CHORUS DEPTH Adjusts the chorus (page 88) depth. DSP DEPTH Adjusts the DSP (page 88) depth. If you want to re-select the DSP type, you can do so in the DSP menu explained below. DSP ON/OFF Determines whether the DSP is on or off. This setting can also be made from the VOICE CONTROL “DSP” button on the panel (page 53). PANEL SUSTAIN Determines the sustain level applied to the edited voice when the VOICE CONTROL [SUSTAIN] button on the panel is turned on (page 53). Using, Creating and Editing Voices REVERB DEPTH 2. DSP DSP TYPE Selects the DSP effect category and type. Select a type after selecting a category. VARIATION Two variations are provided for each DSP type. Here, you can edit the VARIATION on/off status and variationparameter value setting. ON/OFF The factory-programmed assignments are set to variation-off for all Voices (standard variation of DSP is assigned). If you select VARIATION ON here, a variation of the DSP effect is assigned to the Voice. The variation parameter value can be adjusted in the VALUE menu explained below. This setting can also be made from the VOICE CONTROL “DSP VARI.” button on the panel (page 53). This button is effective only when the [DSP] button is on. PARAMETER Displays the variation parameter. VALUE Adjusts the value of the DSP variation parameter. 3. EQ EQ LOW/HIGH These determine the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands. HARMONY Harmony sets the Right 1 and 2 parts together.

Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET [ORGAN FLUTES] displays The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure.” The Organ Flutes parameters are organized into three different pages. The parameters in each page are described separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 98), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected. CAUTION If you select another Voice without saving the settings, the settings will be lost. If you wish to store the settings here, make sure to save the settings as a User Voice before selecting another Voice or turning the power off. FOOTAGE, VOLUME/ATTACK (common parameters) Specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage. ROTARY SP SPEED Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see “EFFECT/EQ” DSP TYPE parameter on page 95), and the Voice Effect DSP (page 95) is turned on (this parameter has the same effect as the Voice Effect VARIATION ON/OFF parameter). VIBRATO ON/OFF Alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes Voice ON or OFF. VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3 (high). Using, Creating and Editing Voices ORGAN TYPE FOOTAGE 16' ← → 5 1/3' Which footage (16' or 5 1/3') is operated with the [1π†] button can be switched by pressing the [D] button. 16'–1' Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes. The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the lowest pitched component of the Voice, while the 1' setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds. Footage: The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 97 Voice Creating — Voice Set Using, Creating and Editing Voices VOLUME/ATTACK VOL Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume. RESP Affects both the attack and release (page 94) portion of the sound, increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the value, the slower the swell and release. VIBRATO SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/Off and Vibrato Depth on the previous page. MODE The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack is applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all notes. 4', 2 2/3', 2' These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE Voice. The 4', 2-2/3' and 2' controls increase or reduce the volume of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume. LENG Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar, the longer the decay. EFFECT/EQ Same parameters as in the VOICE SET “EFFECT/EQ” tab display explained on page 95. Disabling automatic selection of Voice Sets (effects, etc.) Each Voice is linked to its related parameter settings that are indicated in the VOICE SET displays, including effects and EQ. Usually these settings are automatically called up when a Voice is selected. However, you can also disable this feature by the operation in the relevant display as explained below. For example, if you want to change the Voice yet keep the same Harmony effect, set the HARMONY/ECHO parameter to OFF (in the display explained below). You can set these independently by keyboard part and parameter group. 1 Call up the operation display.

The tuning of each note for the currently selected scale is indicated in the keyboard illustration at the upper right of the display. PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 99 Scale Tuning 4 Change the following settings as necessary. • Tuning the individual notes of the keyboard (TUNE) 1 2 Cent: In musical terms a “cent” is 1/ 100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.) Using Oriental Scales Instantly recalling the desired scale Register the desired scale to the Registration Memory. Be sure to checkmark the SCALE item when registering (page 131). Press the [3π†] button to select the note for tuning. Use the [4π†]/[5π†] buttons to set the tuning in cents. • Determines the base note for each scale. Press the [2π†] button to select the base note. When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. Preset Scale Types EQUAL TEMPERAMENT The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today. BAYAT/ RAST Use these tunings when playing Arabic music. PURE MAJOR PURE MINOR These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies – such as choirs and a cappella singing. PYTHAGOREAN This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads. MEAN-TONE This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale. WERCKMEISTER KIRNBERGER This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

FINGERED ON BASS Accepts the same fingerings as the Fingered, but the lowest note played in the Chord section of the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords (in the Fingered mode the root of the chord is always used as the bass note). FULL KEYBOARD Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you split the notes between your left and right hands — for example, playing a bass note with your left hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with your right. AI FINGERED Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). AI FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced fingering type is engaged, the instrument will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard using both hands. You don’t have to worry about specifying the Style chords. Although the AI Full Keyboard type is designed to work with many songs, some arrangements may not be suitable for use with this feature. This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot be played. This type is available only for Style playback. Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style Rhythm is one of the most important parts of a Style. Try to play the melody along with just the rhythm. You can sound different rhythms for each Style. Keep in mind, however, that not all Styles contain rhythm channels. Starting the rhythm with Sync Start You can also start the rhythm simply by playing the keyboard, if Sync Start is enabled (turn on the [SYNC START] button). 104 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 1 2 3 Select a Style (page 46). Press the [ACMP] to turn Auto Accompaniment off. Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to play back the rhythm channels. Playing Only the Rhythm Channels of a Style 4 Press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button to stop the rhythm. Turning channels of the Style on/off A Style contains eight channels: RHY1 (Rhythm 1) – PHR2 (Phrase 2). You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays. 1 Press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button to call up the CHANNEL ON/ OFF display. When the STYLE tab is not selected, press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button again. 2 Press the [1†]–[8†] buttons to turn the channels on or off. To listen to only one instrument by itself, hold down the appropriate button for the channel to set the channel to SOLO. To cancel SOLO, simply press the appropriate channel button again. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Playing the chords in free tempo (without Style playback) You can have the accompaniment chords sound without playing back the Style, by setting [ACMP] to on (see page 106, Stop Accompaniment), and [SYNC START] to off. For example, if MULTI FINGER is selected (page 104), you can perform with your own pace while sounding the chord by pressing the chord section of the keyboard with your one finger. Setting the fade in/out time You can set the time of the fade in and fade out (pages 48, 49). 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY → TAB[√][®] CONFIG 1 → [A] FADE IN/ OUT/HOLD TIME 2 Set the parameters by using the [3π†]–[5π†] buttons.

PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 105 Style Playback-related Settings Style Playback-related Settings The PSR-OR700 has a variety of Style playback functions which can be accessed in the display below. 1 2 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB[√][®] STYLE SETTING Use the [1π†]–[8π†] buttons for each setting. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles • Stop Accompaniment When [ACMP] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can play chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition — called “Stop Accompaniment” — any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the display. Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status. Data that is recorded when recording a Song Please note that both the Voice that is sounded and the chord data will be recorded when set to “STYLE,” and only the chord data will be recorded when set to “OFF” or “FIXED.” OFF...............................The chord played in the chord section will not sound. STYLE ...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices of the selected Style. FIXED ...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style. • Synchro Stop Window This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “OFF,” this automatically cancels the Synchro Stop function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set here, the Synchro Stop function works. • Style Touch Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to “ON,” the Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in the chord section of the keyboard. 106 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Split Point Settings • Style Change Behavior There are three types as shown below. Section Set Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to “OFF” and Style playback is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is selected. When any of the MAIN A-D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up. Tempo This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change Styles during Style playback. HOLD ..........................The tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained. RESET...........................The tempo changes to that of the initial default tempo for the selected Style. Part On/Off This determines whether the Style Channel On/Off status changes or not when you change Styles during Style playback. HOLD .......................... The Style Channel On/Off status of the previous Style is maintained. RESET...........................All Style Channels are set to On. Split Point Settings 1 Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles These are the settings (there are two Split Points) that separate the different sections of the keyboard: the Chord section, the LEFT part section and the RIGHT 1 and 2 section.

Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles 2 3 4 4 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 113 Style Creator Style Creator You can create your own styles — recording them by yourself or by combining the internal Style data. The created Styles can be edited. Style Structure Styles are made up of fifteen different sections and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. Style Four different Fill-ins are available. Section Channel Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Creating a Style You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Styles can also be edited (page 120). ■ Realtime Recording ➤ See page 115 This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the instrument. You can select an internal Style that most closely matches your image of the Style you want to create and then re-record parts of the Style as desired, or you can create a new Style from scratch. ■ Step Recording ➤ See page 118 This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This allows you to create a Style without having to play the parts on the instrument, since you can enter each event manually. ■ Style Assembly ➤ See page 119 This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various patterns from the internal preset Styles. For example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat Style, you could take rhythm patterns from the “70’s 8Beat” Style, use the bass pattern from “60’s Rock1” Style and import the chord patterns from the “Cool8Beat” Style — combining the various elements to create one Style.

Realtime Recording Characteristics • Loop Recording Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure main section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material. • Overdub Recording This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Rhythm Clear (page 117) and Delete (page 116). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For all other channels (except rhythm), delete the original data before recording. When using realtime recording based on the internal Styles: 1 2 3 4 5 Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Overdub recording possible. Overdub recording not possible.

Style Creator 11 12 13 14 15 Start recording by pressing the Style Control [START/STOP] button. Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” (see below). Deleting the recorded rhythm channel (RHY 1, 2) To delete a specific instrument sound, simultaneously hold down the [E] (RHY CLEAR) button (from the display where the recorded channels are shown) and press the appropriate key. To continue recording with another channel, simultaneously hold down the [F] (REC CH) button and press the appropriate [1†]–[8†] button to specify the channel, then play the keyboard. Stop recording by pressing the Style Control [START/STOP] button. Call up the display for selecting sections, etc. by pressing the [EXIT] button. Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data. Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 67). CAUTION The recorded Style will be lost if you change to another Style or you turn the power off without executing the Save operation (page 67). Rules when recording non-rhythm channels • Use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e., C, D, E, G, A, and B). • Use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e., C, E, G, and B). C R C C R C Using the data recorded here, the auto accompaniment (Style playback) is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. The chord which forms the basis for this note conversion is called the Source Chord, and is set by default to CM7 (as in the example illustration above). You can change the Source Chord (its root and type) from the PARAMETER display on page 124. Keep in mind that when you change the Source Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change. For details on chord notes and recommended notes, see page 125. Any desired chord or chord progression can be used for the INTRO and ENDING sections. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles C = Chord notes C, R = Recommended notes Changing the Source Chord If you want to record the pattern with a Source Chord other than CM7, set the PLAY ROOT and PLAY CHORD parameters on the PARAMETER page (page 124) before recording. PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 117 Style Creator Step Recording (EDIT) Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles The explanation here applies when selecting the EDIT tab in step 4 of “Realtime Recording” (page 115). In the EDIT display, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 148), with the exception of the points listed below: • In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section. For example, if you create a Style based on a section of four measures length, the End Mark position is automatically set to the end of the fourth measure, and cannot be changed in the Step Recording display. • Recording channels can be changed in the Song Creator 1-16 tab display; however, they cannot be changed in the Style Creator. Select the recording channel in the BASIC tab display. • In the Style Creator, the channel data can be entered and System Exclusive data can be edited (delete, copy, or move).

PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 121 Style Creator ■ GROOVE This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style. ORIGINAL BEAT Specifies the beats to which Groove timing is to be applied. In other words, if “8 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to the 8th notes; if “12 Beat” is selected, Groove timing is applied to 8th-note triplets. BEAT CONVERTER Actually changes the timing of the beats (specified in the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above) to the selected value. For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “8 Beat” and BEAT CONVERTER is set to “12,” all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The “16A” and “16B” Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to “12 Beat” are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. SWING Produces a “swing” feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is “8 Beat,” the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings “A” through “E” produce different degrees of swing, with “A” being the most subtle and “E” being the most pronounced. FINE Selects a variety of Groove “templates” to be applied to the selected section. The “PUSH” settings cause certain beats to be played early, while “HEAVY” settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat — but not including the first beat — will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if “3” is selected). In all cases, “A” types produce minimum effect, “B” types produce medium effect, and “C” types produce maximum effect. Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles ■ DYNAMICS This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style. 122 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied — in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied. The higher the value, the stronger the effect. EXPAND/COMP. Expands or compresses the range of velocity values. Values higher than 100% expand the dynamic range, while values lower than 100% compress it. BOOST/CUT Boosts or cuts all velocity values in the selected section/channel. Values above 100% boost the overall velocity, while values below 100% reduce it.

By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create your own Styles. The chart shown at left indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature. • Source Pattern There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback notes, depending on the particular root note and chord type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. This basic Style data that you create with the Style Creator is referred to as the “Source Pattern.” • Note Transposition This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord changes. • Other Settings Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you play. For example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shifting the pitch to an authentic range — ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instrument (e.g., very low notes of a piccolo sound). Output The explanation here applies when you select the PARAMETER tab in step 4 of “Basic Operation for Editing Styles” (page 120). 1 Press the [A]/[B] button to select the edit menu (page 125). 1 4 2 124 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 3 Style Creator 2 Use the [1π†]/[2π†] (CHANNEL) buttons to select the channel to be edited.

Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Style Selection display to save your data. Save the data in the Style Selection display (page 67). ■ PLAY ROOT/CHORD These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e., the key used when recording the pattern). The default setting of CM7 (with a Play Root of “C” and a Chord Type of “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new Style, regardless of the Source Root and Chord included in the preset data. When you change Source Root/Chord from the default CM7 to another chord, the chord notes and recommended notes will also change, depending on the newly selected chord type. Auditioning Your Style with a Specific Chord Normally in the Style Creator, you can hear your original Stylein-process with the Source Pattern. However, there is a way to hear it played by a specific chord and root. To do this, set NTR to “Root Fixed,” NTT to “Bypass,” and NTT BASS to “OFF” then change the newly displayed “Play Root” and “Play Chord” parameters to the desired settings. When the Play Root is C: CM 6 CM CM 7 (#11) CM 7 CM 7 (9) CM add9 C 6 (9) C C R C C R C R C C C C C C 7 b5 C C R C C C C C C C C 1+8 C R C C C R C C C 1+5 C C R C C C C C R C C 7 sus4 C C C C C 7 (#9) R C C C C 7 (b13) C C C C R C C R C C C C R R C C C Cm 7 (9) C C C 7 (b9) C C R C C7 C R C C R C C R C R C R C 7 (13) C R C C C Cm (9) C C C C R C C C R C C C 1+2+5 Csus 4 R C C C R C R C C R Cdim 7 C C C R C C 7 aug CM 7 aug C C C R C Cdim C 7 (#11) C 7 (9) C C R C R C C C C Cm 7 b5 C C R C C R C C R C C CmM 7 (9) C C R C R C Cm 7 C R R C CmM 7 C C R C Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles C R Cm 7 (11) C R C Cm 6 C R C R C R C C R C C R Cm Caug C R C C = Chord notes C C C C R C C C C R C R C, R = Recommended notes ■ NTR (Note Transposition Rule) This determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. ROOT TRANS (Root Transpose) ROOT FIXED When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become F3, A3 and C4 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain melody lines. The note is kept as close as possible to the previous note range. For example, the notes C3, E3 and G3 in the key of C become C3, F3 and A3 when they are transposed to F. Use this setting for channels that contain chord parts. When playing a C major chord. When playing a C major chord. When playing an F major chord. When playing an F major chord. PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 125 Style Creator Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles ■ NTT (Note Transposition Table) This sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. BYPASS When NTR is set to ROOT FIXED, the transposition table used does not do any note conversion. When NTR is set to ROOT TRANS, the table used only converts the root note. MELODY Suitable for melody line transposition. Use this for melody channels such as Phrase 1 and Phrase 2. CHORD Suitable for chord transposition. Use this for the Chord 1 and Chord 2 channels, especially when they contain piano or guitar-like chordal parts. MELODIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third interval in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third interval is raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for melody channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. MELODIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Melodic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source Pattern. HARMONIC MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and sixth intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted sixth intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to major/minor chords, such as Intros and Endings. HARMONIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. NATURAL MINOR 5th In addition to the Natural Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. DORIAN When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed. Use this for chord channels of Sections which respond only to a Major/minor chord such as Intros and Endings. DORIAN 5th In addition to the Dorian transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. ■ NTT BASS ON/OFF The channels for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument. ■ HIGH KEY This sets the highest key (upper octave limit) of the note transposition for the chord root change. Any notes calculated to be higher than the highest key are transposed down to the next lowest octave. This setting is available only when the NTR parameter (page 125) is set to “Root Trans.” Example — When the highest key is F. 126 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Root changes CM C#M FM F#M Notes played C3-E3-G3 C#3-F3-G#3 F3-A3-C4 F#2-A#2-C#3 Style Creator ■ NOTE LIMIT This sets the note range (highest and lowest notes) for voices recorded to the style channels. By judicious setting of this range, you can ensure that the voices sound as realistic as possible — in other words, that no notes outside the natural range are sounded (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds). The actual notes that sound are automatically shifted to the set range. Example — When the lowest note is C3 and the highest is D4. Root changes CM C#M FM Notes played E3-G3-C4 F3-G#3-C#4 F3-A3-C4 High Limit Low Limit ■ RTR (Retrigger Rule) These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord changes. STOP The notes stop sounding. PITCH SHIFT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord. PITCH SHIFT TO ROOT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord. RETRIGGER The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord. RETRIGGER TO ROOT The note is retriggered with a new attack at the root note of the next chord. However, the octave of the new note remains the same.

Several different recording methods are available: Quick Recording which lets you record performance conveniently and quickly, Multi track Recording which lets you record several different parts to multiple channels, and Step Recording which lets you enter notes one by one. And since the recorded data is MIDI, you can easily edit your songs, too. For details on MIDI, see page 174, “What is MIDI?” Internal memory (User tab displays) capacity The internal memory capacity of the instrument is about 560KB. This capacity applies to all file types, including Voice, Style, Song, and Registration data files. Recording Methods Step Recording Realtime Recording There are three methods as shown below. Quick Recording ➤ See below. This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance — useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces. You can record to the [TR 1 (R)] or [TR 2 (L)] button, and also to the [EXTRA TR (STYLE)] track, which can be used for recording at the same time. Multi track Recording ➤ page 145 This lets you record a whole Song including several different instrument parts, to create the sound of a full band or orchestra. Record the performance of each instrument part one by one and create fully orchestrated compositions. You can also record over already-recorded parts of an existing Song (Preset Song or a Song on USB storage device) with your own performance. Step Recording ➤ page 148 This method lets you compose your performance by “writing” it down one event at a time. This is a non-realtime, manual recording method – similar to writing music notation onto paper. You can input notes, chords and other events one by one (realtime performance is not needed). You can also edit Songs after they’ve been recorded (page 158). For example, you can edit specific notes one by one, or you can use the Punch In/ Out function to re-record a specific part.

In this method, only the data between the Punch In point and the Punch Out point is overwritten with the newly recorded data. Keep in mind that the notes before and after the Punch In/Out points are not recorded over, although you will hear them play back normally to guide you in the Punch In/Out timing. You can specify the Punch In and Punch Out points as measure numbers beforehand for automatic operation, or manually execute the Punch In/Out recording by using a Foot Pedal or simply by playing the keyboard. The explanations here apply to the REC MODE display in step 4 of the “Basic Editing Operation” on page 158. 1 2 3 4 Use the [1π†]–[6π†] buttons to determine the settings for rerecording (see below). While holding the SONG [REC] button, press the desired track button. Press the SONG [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button to start playback. Play the keyboard at the Punch In point and stop recording at the Punch Out point. Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Song Selection display for saving your data, then save the data in the Song Selection display (page 67). ■ PUNCH IN settings Overwrite recording starts when pressing the SONG [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button or when you play the keyboard in the Synchro Standby mode. FIRST KEY ON The Song plays back normally, then starts overwrite recording as soon as you play the keyboard. PUNCH IN AT The Song plays back normally up to the beginning of the indicated Punch In measure, then starts overwrite recording at that point.

Using, Creating and Editing Songs Editing Channel Events (CHANNEL) The explanations here apply to the CHANNEL tab display in the step 4 of the Basic Editing Operation on page 158. 1 2 CAUTION The recorded Song data will be lost if you select another Song or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation (page 67). 160 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 3 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the Edit menu (page 161). Use the [1π†]–[8π†] buttons to edit the data. For information on the available parameters, see page 161. Press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to execute the operation for the current display. After the operation (with the exception of the SETUP menu display) is completed, this button changes to “UNDO”, letting you restore the original data if you are not satisfied with the Operation results. The Undo function only has one level; only the immediate operation can be undone. Recording Your Performance to MIDI 4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to call up the Song Selection display for saving your data, then save the data in the Song Selection display (page 67). ■ QUANTIZE menu The Quantize function allows you to align the timing of all the notes in a channel. For example, if you record the musical phrase shown at right, you may not play it with absolute precision, and your performance may have been slightly ahead of or behind the precise timing. Quantize is a convenient way of correcting for this. CHANNEL Determines the channel in the Song to be quantized. SIZE Selects the quantize size (resolution). For optimum results, you should set the Quantize size to the shortest note value in the channel. For example, if eighth notes are the shortest in the channel, you should use eighth note as the Quantize size. About Quantize size (resolution) The Quantize size or resolution is the number of clocks per quarter note. After eighth note quantization Settings quarter note eighth note sixteenth note thirty-second note sixteenth note + eighth note triplet* quarter note triplet eighth note triplet sixteenth note triplet eighth note + eighth note triplet* sixteenth note + sixteenth triplet* The three Quantize settings marked with asterisks (*) are exceptionally convenient, since they allow you to quantize two different note values at the same time. For example, when the straight eighth notes and eighth notes triplet are contained in the same channel, if you quantize by the straight eighth notes, all notes in the channel are quantized to straight eighth notes — completely eliminating any triplet feel. However, if you use the eighth note + eighth note triplet setting, both the straight and triplet notes will be quantized correctly. STRENGTH Using, Creating and Editing Songs Determines how strongly the notes will be quantized. A setting of 100% produces exact timing. If a value less than 100% is selected, notes will be moved toward the specified quantization beats according to the specified percentage. Applying less than 100% quantization lets you preserve some of the “human” feel in the recording. Quarter-note length Original data Quantizing strength=100 Quantizing strength=50 ■ Deleting the data of the specified channel (DELETE menu) You can delete the data of the specified channel in the Song.

For functions indicated with “ “, use only the foot controller; proper * operation cannot be done with a footswitch. Assignable Pedal Functions Allows you to use a foot controller to control the volume. SUSTAIN Allows you to use a pedal to control the sustain. When you press and hold the pedal, all notes played on the keyboard have a longer sustain. Releasing the pedal immediately stops (damps) any sustained notes. SOSTENUTO Allows you to use a pedal to control the Sostenuto effect. If you play a note or chord on the keyboard and press the pedal while holding the note(s), the notes will sustain as long as the pedal is held. However, all subsequent notes will not sustain. This makes it possible to sustain a chord, for example, while other notes are played staccato. SOFT Allows you to use a pedal to control the Soft effect. Pressing this pedal reduces the volume and changes the timbre of the notes you play. This is effective only for certain appropriate Voices. GLIDE When the pedal is pressed, the pitch changes, and then returns to normal pitch when the pedal is released. PORTAMENTO The portamento effect (a smooth slide between notes) can be produced while the pedal is pressed. Portamento is produced when notes are played legato style (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held). Portamento Time can also be adjusted from the Mixing Console (page 86). This function does not affect certain Natural Voices, which would not sound appropriately with this function. PITCH BEND* Allows you to bend the pitch of notes up or down by using the pedal. MODULATION* Applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard. The effect becomes deeper when pressing down the foot controller.

CAUTION Connecting to a computer and USB device TO DEVICE 6 USB TO HOST 5 Connecting a Computer (4 [MIDI] and 5 [USB TO HOST] terminals) By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] or [MIDI] terminals, you can transfer data between the instrument and the computer via MIDI, and take advantage of sophisticated computer music programs. Keep in mind that you also need to install an appropriate USBMIDI driver. The instructions below explain how to connect and use the terminals. n If you are using a computer that has a USB interface, we recommend that you connect the computer and the instrument by USB, rather than by MIDI. Driver A driver is software that provides a data-transfer interface between the computer’s operating system and a connected hardware device. You need to install a USB-MIDI driver to connect the computer and the instrument. Refer to the separate Installation Guide (page 4). n • The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the USB connection is made. • When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your computer, make the connection directly without passing through a USB hub. • For information on setting up your sequence software, refer to the owner’s manual of the relevant software. PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Using Your Instrument with Other Devices n Precautions when using the [USB TO HOST] terminal When connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, make sure to observe the following points. Failing to do so risks freezing the computer and corrupting or losing data. If the computer or the instrument freezes, turn the power to the instrument off and restart the computer. • Before connecting the computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, exit from any power-saving mode of the computer (such as suspended, sleep, standby), and quit any open application software, also turns off the power to the instrument. • Execute the following before turning the power to the instrument off or unplugging the USB cable to/from the instrument/ computer. - Quit any open application software on the computer. - Make sure that data is not being transmitted from the instrument. (Data is transmitted only by playing notes on the keyboard or playing back a song.) • While a USB device is connected to the instrument, you should wait for six seconds or more between these operations: When turning the power of the instrument off then on again, or when alternately connecting/disconnecting the USB cable. 171 Connecting to a computer and USB device • Connection by [MIDI] terminals There are two ways to connect the instrument via MIDI to a computer. If you have a MIDI interface built into your computer, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the computer interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the interface. MIDI cable [MIDI IN] [MIDI OUT] terminal terminal Computer with MIDI interface installed The second connection possibility involves a separate, external MIDI interface connected to the computer via a USB port or a serial port (modem or printer terminal). Using standard MIDI cables, connect the MIDI OUT terminal of the external interface to the [MIDI IN] terminal of the instrument, and connect the [MIDI OUT] terminal of the instrument to the MIDI IN terminal of the interface.

What is MIDI? Put simply, MIDI is a data transfer standard that allows easy and comprehensive control among electronic/digital music instruments and other devices. To get a better idea of what MIDI does, let’s first consider acoustic instruments, such as a grand piano and a classical guitar. With the piano, you strike a key, and a hammer inside hits some strings and plays a note. With the guitar, you directly pluck a string and the note sounds. But how does a digital instrument go about playing a note? Recording and play back the performance of a digital instrument (MIDI data) Recording Playback USB storage device USB storage device Controller (keyboard, etc.) Tone Generator Sequencer Acoustic guitar note production Digital instrument note production n Internal amp L Tone generator (Electric circuit) Internal amp R Playing the key board Pluck a string and the body resonates the sound. Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampled note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers. As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampled note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. In the case of digital instruments, the audio signals are sent through output jacks (such as [AUX OUT]) on the instrument. The “controller” and “tone generator” in the illustration above are equivalent to the piano in our acoustic example. Here, the player’s performance on the keyboard is captured as MIDI song data (see illustration below). In order to record the audio performance on an acoustic piano, special recording equipment is needed. However, since the PSR-OR700 features a built-in sequencer that lets you record performance data, this recording equipment is unnecessary. Instead, your digital instrument allows you to both record and play back the data. Tone generator Now, let’s examine what happens when we playback a recording. When you play back a music CD (for example, a solo piano recording), you’re hearing the actual sound (vibration in air) of the acoustic instrument. This is called audio data, to distinguish it from MIDI data. Recording and playing back the performance of an acoustic instrument (audio data) Recording Playback Using Your Instrument with Other Devices In the above example, the actual acoustic sounds of the pianist’s performance are captured in the recording as audio data, and this is recorded to CD. When you play back that CD on your audio system, you can hear the actual piano performance. The piano itself is not necessary, since the recording contains the actual sounds of the piano, and your speakers reproduce them. 174 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Sequencer Keyboard performance (MIDI data) However, we also need a sound source to produce the audio, which eventually comes from your speakers. The tone generator of the instrument fills this function. The recorded performance is reproduced by the sequencer, playing back the song data, using a tone generator capable of accurately producing various instrument sounds — including that of a piano. Looked at in another way, the relation of the sequencer and the tone generator is similar to that of the pianist and the piano — one plays the other. Since digital instruments handle playback data and the actual sounds independently, we can hear our piano performance played by another instrument, such as guitar or violin. n Even though it is a single musical instrument, the PSR-OR700 can be thought of as containing several electronic components: a controller, a tone generator, and a sequencer. What is MIDI? Finally, we’ll take a look at the actual data that gets recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the sounds. For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the instrument’s keyboard. Unlike an acoustic instrument that puts out a resonated note, the electronic instrument puts out information from the keyboard such as “with what voice,” “with which key,” “about how strong,” “when was it pressed” and “when was it released.” Then each piece of information is changed into a number value and sent to the tone generator. Using these numbers as a basis for sound generation, the tone generator plays the stored sampled note. Example Keyboard Data Voice number (with what voice) 01 (grand piano) Note number (with which key) 60 (C3) Note on (when was it pressed) and note off (when was it released) Timing expressed numerically (quarter note) Velocity (strength at which it was played) 120 (strong) Panel operations on the instrument, such as playing the keyboard and selecting voices, are processed and stored as MIDI data. The auto accompaniment Styles and Songs also consist of MIDI data. MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The instrument can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. The instrument can be controlled by incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine the tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specified for the various parts. n MIDI data has the following advantages over audio data: • The amount of data is much less. • The data can be effectively and easily edited, even to the point of changing voices and transforming the data. Message Name Operation/Panel Setting Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a specific note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is played. Program Change For selecting Voices (with control change bank select MSB/LSB settings) Control Change Volume, panpot (Mixing Console), MODULATION Wheel operation etc. Pitch Bend PITCH BEND Wheel operation n The performance data of all Songs and Styles is handled as MIDI data. MIDI Channels MIDI performance data is assigned to one of sixteen MIDI channels. Using these channels, 1–16, the performance data for sixteen different instrument parts can be simultaneously sent over one MIDI cable. Think of the MIDI channels as TV channels. Each TV station transmits its broadcasts over a specific channel. Your home TV set receives many different programs simultaneously from several TV stations and you select the appropriate channel to watch the desired program. Weather report NEWS 1 2 NEWS 2 MIDI operates on the same basic principle. The transmitting instrument sends MIDI data on a specific MIDI channel (MIDI Transmit Channel) via a single MIDI cable to the receiving instrument. If the receiving instrument’s MIDI channel (MIDI Receive Channel) matches the Transmit Channel, the receiving instrument will sound according to the data sent by the transmitting instrument. MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages. MIDI cable Using Your Instrument with Other Devices MIDI Transmit channel 2 MIDI Receive channel 2 Channel Messages The PSR-OR700 is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 MIDI channels (or reception of 32 channels for MIDI data reception when using the [USB] terminal). This is usually expressed as “it can play 16 instruments at the same time.” Channel messages transmit information such as Note ON/OFF, Program Change, for each of the 16 channels. n The instrument’s keyboard and internal tone generator are also connected by MIDI. → LOCAL CONTROL (page 180) For example, several parts or channels can be transmitted simultaneously, including the Style data (as shown on the next page).

The instrument also allows you to determine how the received data is played back (page 181). MIDI Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by PSR-OR700, and whether or not the PSR-OR700 can playback commercially available song data or song data created for other instruments or on a computer. Depending on the MIDI device or data characteristics, you may be able to play back the data without any problem, or you may have to perform some special operations before the data can be played back. If you run into problems playing back data, please refer to the information below. Sequence Formats System Messages This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. These include System Exclusive messages for transferring data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime messages for controlling the MIDI device. Message Name Operation/Panel Setting System Exclusive Message Effect type settings (Mixing Console), etc. Realtime Messages Clock setting, Start/stop operation The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-OR700 are shown in the MIDI Data Format and MIDI Implementation Chart in the Data List. The Data List is available at the Yamaha website. (See page 5.) What You Can Do With MIDI Using Your Instrument with Other Devices ■ Record your performance data (1–16 channels) using the auto accompaniment features on an external sequencer (or computer with sequencer software). After recording, edit the data with the sequencer, then play it back on the instrument. MIDI receive MIDI IN MIDI OUT MIDI OUT MIDI IN Instrument MIDI transmit Computer or Sequencer When you want to use the instrument as an XG-compatible multi-timbral tone generator, set the receive part for MIDI channels 1-16 to “SONG” in MIDI/USB 1 in MIDI Receive (page 181). 176 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Song data is recorded and stored in a variety of different systems, referred to as “sequence formats.” Playback is only possible when the sequence format of the Song data matches that of the MIDI device. The PSR-OR700 is compatible with the following formats. ● SMF (Standard MIDI file) This is the most common sequence format. Standard MIDI Files are generally available as one of two types: Format 0 or Format 1. Many MIDI devices are compatible with Format 0, and most commercially available software is recorded as Format 0. • The PSR-OR700 is compatible with both Format 0 and Format 1. • Song data recorded on the PSR-OR700 is automatically saved as SMF Format 0. ● ESEQ This sequence format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR-S900/S700 series instruments. This is a common format used with various Yamaha software. • The PSR-OR700 is compatible with ESEQ. ● XF The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) format with greater functionality and openended expandability for the future. The PSR-OR700 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played. (SMF is the most common format used for MIDI sequence files. The PSR-OR700 is compatible with SMF Formats 0 and 1, and records “song” data using SMF Format 0.) ● Style File The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into a single unified format. MIDI Settings Voice Allocation Format With MIDI, Voices are assigned to specific numbers, called “program numbers.” The numbering standard (order of voice allocation) is referred to as the “voice allocation format.” Voices may not play back as expected unless the voice allocation format of the song data matches that of the compatible MIDI device used for playback. The PSROR700 is compatible with the following formats. n Even if the devices and data used satisfy all the conditions above, the data may still not be completely compatible, depending on the specifications of the devices and particular data recording methods. ● GM System Level 1 This is one of the most common voice allocation formats. Many MIDI devices are compatible with GM System Level 1, as is most commercially available software. MIDI Settings In this section, you can make MIDI-related settings for the instrument. The PSR-OR700 gives you a set of ten pre-programmed templates that let you instantly and easily reconfigure the instrument to match your particular MIDI application or external device. Also, you can edit the pre-programmed templates and save up to ten of your original templates to the USER display. You can then save all these original templates as a single file to USB storage devices, in the MIDI SETUP selection display (called up by pressing [FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY → TAB [√][®] SYSTEM RESET). Basic Operation 1 Call up the operation (MIDI template selection) display. Function → [I] MIDI ● GM System Level 2 “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that enhances the original “GM System Level 1” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater voice selection, expanded voice parameters, and integrated effect processing. ● XG XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. Song data recorded on the PSR-S900/S700 using Voices in the XG category is XG-compatible. 2 ● DOC (Disk Orchestra Collection) This voice allocation format is compatible with many of Yamaha’s MIDI devices, including the PSR-OR700 series instruments. ● GS GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects. 3 To use the pre-programmed templates or to edit them Press the TAB [√] button to select the PRESET display.

KBD & STYLE Basically the same as “All Parts” with the exception of how keyboard parts are managed. The right-hand parts are handled as “UPPER” instead of RIGHT 1 and 2 and the left-hand part is handled as “LOWER.” Master KBD In this setting, the instrument functions as a “master” keyboard, playing and controlling one or more connected tone generators or other devices (such as a computer/ sequencer). Song All transmit channels are set to correspond to Song channels 1–16. This is used to play Song data with an external tone generator and to record Song data to an external sequencer. Clock Ext Playback (Song or Style) synchronizes with an external MIDI clock instead of the instrument’s internal clock. This template should be used when you wish to set the tempo on the MIDI device connected to the instrument. MIDI Accord 1 MIDI accordions allow you to transmit MIDI data and play connected tone generators from the keyboard and bass/chord buttons of the accordion. This template lets you play melodies from the keyboard and control Style playback on the instrument with the lefthand buttons. MIDI Accord 2 Basically the same as “MIDI Accord 1” above, with the exception that the chord/bass notes you play with your left hand on the MIDI Accordion are recognized also as MIDI note events. MIDI Pedal 1 MIDI pedal units allow you play connected tone generators with your feet (especially convenient for playing single note bass parts). This template lets you play/control the chord root in Style playback with a MIDI pedal unit. MIDI Pedal 2 This template lets you play the bass part for Style playback by using a MIDI pedal unit.

Using Your Instrument with Other Devices PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 179 MIDI Settings SYSTEM display MIDI System Settings The explanations here apply to the SYSTEM display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 177. ● RECEIVE TRANSPOSE Determines whether or not the instrument’s transpose setting (page 58) is applied to the note events received by the instrument via MIDI. ● START/STOP Determines whether incoming FA (start) and FC (stop) messages affect Song or Style playback. ■ MESSAGE SW ● SYS/EX. The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI System Exclusive messages on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI System Exclusive messages generated by external equipment on or off. ■ LOCAL CONTROL Turns the Local Control for each part on or off. When Local Control is set to “ON,” the keyboard of the instrument controls its own (local) internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. If you set Local to “OFF,” the keyboard and controllers are internally disconnected from the instrument’s tone generator section so that no sound is output when you play the keyboard or use the controllers. For example, this allows you to use an external MIDI sequencer to play the instrument’s internal voices, and use the instrument keyboard to record notes to the external sequencer and/or play an external tone generator. ● CHORD SYS/EX. The “Tx” setting turns MIDI transmission of MIDI chord exclusive data (chord detect. root and type) on or off. The “Rx” setting turns MIDI reception and recognition of MIDI chord exclusive data generated by external equipment on or off. TRANSMIT display MIDI Transmit Settings The explanations here apply to the TRANSMIT display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 177. This determines which parts will be sent as MIDI data and over which MIDI channel the data will be sent. ■ Clock setting, etc. Using Your Instrument with Other Devices ● CLOCK Determines whether the instrument is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the instrument is being used alone or as a master keyboard to control external devices. If you are using the instrument with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want to synchronize it to that device, set this parameter to the appropriate setting: MIDI, USB 1, or USB 2. In this case, make sure that the external device is connected properly (e.g., to the instrument’s MIDI IN terminal), and that it is properly transmitting a MIDI clock signal. When this is set for control by an external device (MIDI, USB 1 or USB 2), the Tempo is indicated as “Ext.” in the Main display. ● TRANSMIT CLOCK Turns MIDI clock (F8) transmission on or off. When set to OFF, no MIDI clock or Start/Stop data is transmitted even if a Song or Style is played back. 180 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual Operation Select the part to be transmitted and the channel via which the selected part will be transmitted. You can also determine the types of data to be sent. ● With the exception of the next two parts, the configuration of the parts is the same as those already explained elsewhere in this manual. • UPPER The keyboard part played on the right side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices (RIGHT1 and/ or 2). • LOWER The keyboard part played on the left side of the keyboard from the Split Point for the Voices. This is not affected by the on/off status of the [ACMP] button. MIDI Settings ● Tx MONITOR The dots corresponding to each channel (1-16) flash briefly whenever any data is transmitted on the channel(s). n When different parts are assigned to the same transmit channel If the same transmit channel is assigned to several different parts, the transmitted MIDI messages are merged to a single channel — resulting in unexpected sounds and possible glitches in the connected MIDI device. n About the protected Songs Write-protected Songs cannot be transmitted even if the proper Song channels 1–16 are set to be transmitted. ■ MIDI messages which can be transmitted or received (recognized) The following MIDI messages can be set on the TRANSMIT/RECEIVE display. • Note (Note events).......................................page 164 • CC (CONTROL CHANGE) ..........................page 164 • PC (PROGRAM CHANGE)...........................page 164 • PB (Pitch Bend)............................................page 164 • AT (Aftertouch).............................................page 164 • KEYBOARD The received note messages control the instrument’s keyboard performance. • EXTRA PART 1-5 There are five parts specially reserved for receiving and playing MIDI data.

Setting the Bass Note for Style Playback via MIDI Receive The explanations here apply to the BASS display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 177. These settings let you determine the bass note for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the bass note of the chord of Style playback. The bass note will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the bass note is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. Displaying the Voice Program Change Number Determines whether or not the Voice bank and number are shown in the Voice selection display. This is useful when you want to check which bank select MSB/LSB values and program change number you need to specify when selecting the Voice from an external MIDI device. You can set this in the display called up by the following operations: [FUNCTION] → [J] UTILITY →TAB [√][®] CONFIG 2. Switch the DISPLAY VOICE NUMBER menu ON and OFF. Operation Select the channel and set the “ON/OFF” for that channel. Use the All OFF item to set all channels to OFF. CHORD DETECT display Setting the Chord Type for Style Playback via MIDI Receive Using Your Instrument with Other Devices The explanations here apply to the CHORD DETECT display to be called up in step 4 of the “Basic Operation” on page 177. These settings let you determine the chord type for Style playback, based on the note messages received via MIDI. The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the notes for detecting chords in Style playback. The chords to be detected depend on the fingering type. The chord type will be detected regardless of the [ACMP] or split point settings. When several channels are simultaneously set to “ON,” the chord type is detected from merged MIDI data received over the channels. 182 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual n • The numbers displayed here start from “1.” Accordingly the actual MIDI program change numbers are one lower, since that number system starts from “0.” • For the GS Voices, this feature is not available (the program change numbers are not shown). Appendix Troubleshooting Overall The instrument does not turn on. • Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the instrument, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet. A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. • Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal. Noise is heard from the instrument’s speakers. • Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the instrument or if the phone is ringing. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the instrument. The letters in the display cannot be read, because the display is too bright (or dark). • Use the [LCD CONTRAST] knob to adjust for optimum visibility. • Adjust the brightness of the display (page 20). The overall volume is too low, or, no sound is heard. • The master volume may be set too low. Set it to an appropriate level with the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. • All keyboard parts are set to off. Use the PART ON/OFF [RIGHT 1]/[RIGHT 2]/[LEFT] button to turn it on. • The volume of the individual parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 41). • Make sure the desired channel is set to ON (page 105). • Headphones are connected, disabling the speaker output. Unplug the headphones. • The [FADE IN/OUT] button is on, muting the sound. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button to turn the function off. • Make sure the Local Control function is set to ON (page 180). Not all simultaneously played notes sound. • You are probably exceeding the maximum polyphony (page 187) of the instrument. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound. The keyboard volume is lower than the Song/Style playback volume. • The volume of the keyboard parts may be set too low. Raise the volume in the BALANCE display (page 41). – There is a slight difference in sound quality among different notes played on the keyboard. – Some Voices have a looping sound. – Some noise or vibrato is noticeable at higher pitches, depending upon the voice. • This is normal and is a result of the instrument’s sampling system. Some Voices will jump an octave in pitch when played in the upper or lower registers. • This is normal. Some voices have a pitch limit which, when reached, causes this type of pitch shift. The Main display does not appear even when turning the power on. • This may occur if a USB storage device has been installed to the instrument. Installation of some USB storage device may result a long interval between turning the power on and appearance of the Main display. To avoid this, turn the power on after disconnecting the device. Files/Folders Some characters of the file/folder name are garbled. • The language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the file/folder name (page 19). An existing file is not shown. • The file extension (.MID, etc.) may have been changed or deleted. Manually rename the file, adding the appropriate extension, on a computer. The data contained in the USB storage device is not shown on the instrument itself. • Data files with names of more than 50 characters cannot be handled by the instrument. Rename the file, reducing the number of characters to 50 or less. Demo How can I stop the demo? • Press the [EXIT] button. Keys do not sound at the proper pitch. • Make sure the Performance Assistant function is off on the operation display (page 44). Appendix Certain notes sound at the wrong pitch. The Scale parameter has probably been set to something other than “Equal,” changing the tuning system of the keyboard. Make sure “Equal” is selected as the Scale in the Scale Tune display (page 99). PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 183 Voice The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not sound. • Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 78). • To select the Voice for the right-hand key range, press the PART SELECT [RIGHT 1] button. For the Voice to be layered in the right-hand range, press the PART SELECT [RIGHT 2] button. To select the Voice for the left-hand key range, press the PART SELECT [LEFT] button. The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.) of the Style or Song from the Mixer. • When changing the rhythm/percussion Voices (drum kits, etc.) of the Style and Song from the VOICE parameter, the detailed settings related to the drum voice are reset, and in some cases you may be unable to restore the original sound. In the case of Song playback, you can restore the original sound by returning to the beginning of the Song and playing back from that point. In the case of Style play, you can restore the original sound by selecting the same Style again. Tremolo/Trill cannot be applied to the Organ Flute Voice. • This is normal; Tremolo and Trill settings in the Harmony/Echo display are not effective for Organ Flute Voices. The Harmony function does not operate. • Harmony cannot be used with the Full Keyboard or AI Full Keyboard fingering modes. Select an appropriate fingering mode (page 104). When a Voice is changed, the previously selected effect is changed. • Each Voice has its own suitable preset settings, which are automatically recalled when the corresponding Voice Set parameters are turned on (page 98). The Voice produces excessive noise. • Certain Voices may produce noise, depending on the Harmonic Content and/or Brightness settings in the FILTER page of the Mixing Console display (page 86). Appendix The sound is distorted or noisy. • The volume may be turned up too high. Make sure all relevant volume settings are appropriate. • This may be caused by certain effects. Try canceling all unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects (page 88). • Adjust the sound using the [8π†] (TOTAL GAIN ADJ.) buttons from the display shown in step 6 of “Editing and Saving the selected EQ” (page 91), if you are using the Master EQ. • Some filter resonance settings in the VOICE SET display (page 94) can result in distorted sound. Adjust these settings if necessary. • Noise may occur depending on the settings made in the Filter display of the Mixing Console. Adjust the Harmonic Content or Brightness controls in the Filter display (page 86). 184 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual The sound does not change when replacing Voices with the Song Auto Revoice feature. • Depending on the particular Song data, there are some instances where Song Auto Revoice has no effect, even when replacing Voices. The sound of the Voice doesn’t change, even when editing the Voice. • Keep in mind that adjustments made to the parameters may not make much change in the actual sound depending on the original settings of the Voice. Voices other than those in the Preset display cannot be selected for Step recording. • This is normal. Style Style playback does not start. • Make sure to press the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button. • MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL” (page 180). Only the rhythm channel plays. • Make sure the Auto Accompaniment function is turned on; press the [ACMP] button. • You may be playing keys in the right hand range of the keyboard. Make sure to play keys in the chord range of the keyboard. Styles cannot be selected. • If the size of the Style data is large (about 120 KB or greater), the Style cannot be selected because the data is too large to be ready by the instrument. The desired chord is not recognized or output by the auto accompaniment. • You may not be playing the correct keys for indicating the chord. Refer to “Chord Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode” of the Data List. The Data List is available at the Yamaha website. (See page 5.) • You may be playing the keys according to a different fingering mode, and not the one currently selected. Check the accompaniment mode, and play the keys according to the selected mode (page 104). Synchro Stop cannot be turned on. • Synchro Stop cannot be turned on when the fingering mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard,” or when the [ACMP] button is set to off. Make sure the fingering mode is set to something besides “Full Keyboard” or “Al Full Keyboard” and set the [ACMP] button to on. Auto accompaniment chords are recognized regardless of the split point or where chords are played on the keyboard. • This is normal if the fingering mode is set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Keyboard.” If either of these is selected, chords are recognized over the entire range of the keyboard, irrespective of the split point setting. If desired, select a different fingering mode (page 104). When playing back one Style and selecting another, the newly selected Style doesn’t play at the proper Tempo. • You can select whether the appropriate tempo will be called up automatically or not by using the TEMPO parameter in the STYLE CHANGE BEHAVIOR function. Starting a Song while playing back a Style stops Style playback. This is because Song playback has priority. The two ways shown below let you play back a Style and Song simultaneously. • Set the Song to Synchro Start standby, then start the Style. • Start the Style playback after playing back a Song. The level balance of the various Parts becomes wrong or unexpected sounds are output when selecting a Style or a Voice after selecting a Song. • The level balance of the Parts can change and unexpected sounds can be produced because of the effects applied to each Part. The “Off” setting is not shown for the Play Type parameter in the Assembly (Style Creator) feature. • The selected section is set to record enable. Release the recording assignment by pressing the appropriate [1†][8†] button in the recording channel display (TAB [√] button → BASIC tab → [F] REC CH). The channels BASS-PHR2 cannot be edited in Channel Edit. • This is normal; BASS-PHR2 channels of the Preset Styles cannot be edited. Registration memory The Song/Style registered to the Registration Memory cannot be called up. • If the registered Song/Style is contained on USB storage device and the USB storage device is not connected to the instrument, the Song/Style cannot be called up. Connect the appropriate USB storage device containing the Song/Style data. The order for calling up Registration Memory settings is not shown on the Registration Sequence setting display. • The bank containing the Registration has not been selected. Select the appropriate bank (page 132). Song Songs cannot be selected. • This may be because the language settings have been changed. Set the appropriate language for the Song file name. • If the size of the Song data is large (about 300 KB or greater), the Song cannot be selected because the data is too large to be read by the instrument. Song playback does not start. • “New Song” (a blank Song) has been selected. Make sure to select an appropriate Song in the Song Selection display (page 36). • Make sure to press the SONG [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button. • The Song has been stopped at the end of the Song data. Return to the beginning of the Song by pressing the SONG [J] (STOP) button. • In the case a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file may not be in the same folder. It cannot be played back unless the original file (showing “Prot.2 Orig” at the upper left of the Song name) is in the same folder. • In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the original file name may have been changed. Rename the file with the original file name (so that “Prot.2 Orig” is shown at the upper left of the Song name). • In case of a Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name), the file icon may have been changed. Songs to which write-protect has been applied cannot be played back when the file icon of the original has been changed. • MIDI Clock may be set to “EXTERNAL.” Make sure this is set to “INTERNAL” (page 180). Appendix When using the Freeze function of the Registration Memory, the On/Off setting of the Left Part does not change even when changing the Registration Memory setting. • The Left Part On/Off setting is included in the Style group. Remove the checkmark from “STYLE” in the Freeze setting display (page 134). Even though a Registration Memory setting containing a User/USB voice is selected, the File Selection display shows a Preset Voice. • This is normal; even with the Preset Voice shown, the actual sounding Voice is the selected User/USB Voice. When a User/USB Voice is saved to the User/USB drive, the actual data is divided into two separate types: 1) the source Preset Voice itself, and 2) the parameter settings as set in the Voice Set. When you recall a Registration Memory setting containing a User/USB Voice, the instrument selects the Preset voice (on which the User/USB Voice is based), then applies the relevant parameter settings to it — so that your original User/USB Voice is sounded. Song playback stops before the Song is finished. • The Guide function is turned on. (In this case, playback is “waiting” for the correct key to be played.) Press the [GUIDE] button to turn off the guide function. PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual 185 The Song last selected before turning off the power is no longer available. • If the Song last selected before turning off the power is contained in a USB storage device, you’ll need to reconnect the same USB storage device to call up the Song again. The measure number is different from that of the score in the Song Position display, shown by pressing the [G]/[H] (REW/FF) buttons. • This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed tempo is set. In the AB Repeat function, the B point cannot be set. • The A point has not been set. Set the B point only after setting the A point. When playing back a Song, some channels do not play. • Playback of these channels may be set to “OFF.” Turn playback on for those channels that are set to “OFF” (page 142). A Song to which write-protect has been applied (“Prot. 2 Edit” is shown at the upper left of the Song name) cannot be moved to an external media such as a SmartMedia card or floppy disk. • A Song to which write-protect has been applied cannot be moved to an external media such as SmartMedia/ floppy disk, etc. Use the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal to move the song to a USB flash memory device connected to this instrument. Guide The melody still plays back, even when specifying Track 1 as the part to be muted for one-handed practice. • A part other than the melody part has been assigned to Track 1. Reassign the channel containing the melody to Track 1 (page 141). Score When displaying the music score, long notes that have been entered, such as whole notes and ties, are not displayed correctly. • Long notes, such as whole notes and ties, may not be shown in the music score display exactly as they were entered. Selecting “Tenuto” by pressing the [H] button before inputting each note in the Step Record display (page 149) may solve the problem. Appendix The tempo, beat, measure and music notation is not displayed correctly. • Some Song data for the instrument has been recorded with special “free tempo” settings. For such Song data, the tempo, beat, measure and music notation will not be displayed correctly. 186 PSR-OR700 Owner’s Manual The note name partially obscures the note in the display. • When several notes occur close to each other, the note name may obscure the note at left. The music score of the right-hand/left-hand part is not displayed. • The appropriate channels have not been assigned to the right-hand and left-hand parts. Set the Track 1 and Track 2 channels to “AUTO” (page 141). The notation in the display is cut off, with the middle of a measure starting on the next line. • When all the notes of a measure cannot fit on one line, the remaining notes in the measure are carried over to the next line. Dotted notes are indicated as rests. • This is normal; sometimes dotted notes are indicated as rests. Chords are not displayed. • If the selected Song does not contain chord data, chords are not displayed. Lyrics (Karaoke) Lyrics are not displayed. • If the selected Song does not contain lyric data, lyrics are not displayed. Some of the lyrics overlap each other. • This happens for Songs containing many lyrics. Performance assistant technology Performance assistant technology does not work appropriately. • Press the SONG [J] (STOP) button to stop Song playback, then set the [ACMP] and PART ON/OFF [LEFT] to off. Finally, restart the Song.
