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 (page 135) 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. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the

power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have

the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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

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

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

• 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 or

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

internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

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

GM System Level 1

“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compatible music

data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of manufacturer. The GM

mark is afﬁxed to all software and hardware products that support GM System Level.

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.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and

open-ended expandability for the future. The instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle con-

taining lyric data is played.

STYLE FILE

The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original style ﬁle format which uses a unique conversion system to pro-

vide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types.

USB

USB is an abbreviation for Universal Serial Bus. It is a serial interface for connecting a computer with

peripheral Devices. It allows “hot swapping” (connecting peripheral devices while the power to the com-

puter is on).

PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 61

Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord”.

The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the

root, third, and ﬁfth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major

triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third

note of the C major scale), and G (the ﬁfth note of the C major scale).

In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the

chord (this is the chord’s “root position” ... using other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inver-

sions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes.

The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.

The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the

triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce

two additional chords, as shown below.

The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to

create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for

example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”).

● Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a

chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what

the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished

PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 63

This instrument features 11 internal Style categories, but it also allows you to import additional Styles

(only those with an “.sty” extension) that you’ve downloaded from the Internet or gotten from other

sources, and load them into a User Style and use them in the same way as the internal Styles.

For details on loading a Style ﬁle, see “

Loading Registration Files, Style Files, Song Files or MDB Files

”

on page

In order to load a Style ﬁle it is necessary to ﬁrst either transfer the Style ﬁle to the instrument from a com-

puter, or connect a USB ﬂash memory containing the Style ﬁle to the USB TO DEVICE connector. Refer to

“Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument” on page 96 for details on the ﬁle transfer proce-

dure.

If you are using a USB ﬂash memory device, refer to “Loading Registration Files, Style Files, Song Files or

MDB Files” on page 87.

You can directly play the User Style in the USB memory without loading (page 89).

In “Playing Along with a Style” on page 23 we described two methods of playing Styles (Multi, Full Key-

board) in which chords were either detected only to the left of the keyboard Split Point or over the entire

keyboard. By making the settings described below, chord detection for Style accompaniment occurs over

the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even more dynamic Style performance. In this mode only

chords played in the normal way (page 25) can be detected.

Press the [ACMP] button for longer than

a second.

Using USB Flash Memory

USB ﬂash memory is a memory medium used for storing data. When a USB ﬂash mem-

ory device is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal, user Songs and

user Styles created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or

loaded from the device. USB ﬂash memory can also be used to transfer Song, Style

MDB data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument. Furthermore, user Songs

saved to USB ﬂash memory in MIDI ﬁle format can also be used with these features.

In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB ﬂash

memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.

Before using a USB device, read through the “Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal”

section on page 93. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see “Connection to

a USB Storage Device” on page 90.

Connect a USB ﬂash memory to the

USB TO DEVICE terminal, being careful

to insert it in the proper direction. (Do

not try to force an improper connec-

tion.)

Check that the “CONNECT” message is

shown in the MAIN display.

You can go to the FILE CONTROL display

from which you can access USB ﬂash memory

operations by pressing the [FILE MENU] but-

ton from this display.

(Do not press this button now, but only when

instructed to in the sections below.)

* This particular menu item has no relation to USB opera-

tions, but it can be used to delete a User Song.

If you don’t have a USB ﬂash memory device, you will need to purchase one (or more, as

needed).

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 a USB storage device, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an autho-

rized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.

Using USB Flash Memory

• No sound will be produced if you play the keyboard while the FILE

CONTROL display is showing. Also, in this state only buttons related

to ﬁle functions will be active.

Connection to a USB Storage Device

•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 hang-

ing up. While the instrument is accessing data (such as in the

Save 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.

CAUTION

• Some USB memory devices may require more current than the

instrument can supply, causing the instrument’s over-current pro-

tection function to be activated and making it impossible to use

the device. If this occurs “OverCurrent” will appear in the lower-

right area of the MAIN display. To restore normal operation remove

the USB device from the USB TO DEVICE connector and turn the

■ Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal

This instrument features a built-in [USB TO DEVICE] terminal. When connecting a USB device to the terminal, be sure

to handle the USB device with care. Follow the important precautions below.

● Compatible USB devices

• USB storage devices (ﬂash memory, ﬂoppy disk drive,

hard disk drive, etc.)

The instrument does not necessarily support all commer-

cially available USB devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee

operation of USB devices that you purchase. Before pur-

chasing a USB device for use with this instrument, please

visit the following web page:

http://music.yamaha.com/download/

● Connecting USB device

• When connecting a USB device to the [USB TO

DEVICE] terminal, make sure that the connector on the

device is appropriate and that it is connected in the

proper direction.

• 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.

● Using USB Storage Devices

By connecting the instrument to a USB storage device, you

can save data you’ve created to the connected device, as

well as read data from the connected device.

The number of USB storage device to be used

Up to one USB storage device can be connected to the

[USB TO DEVICE] terminal.

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 (page

84).

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.

Connecting/removing USB storage device

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).

•For more information about the handling of USB devices, refer to the owner’s manual of the USB device.

NOTE

• Other USB devices such as a computer keyboard or mouse cannot

be used.

NOTE

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

ment, they cannot be used for saving data.

NOTE

• The format operation overwrites any previously existing data.

Make sure that the media you are formatting does not contain

important data.

CAUTION

•Avoid frequently turning the power on/off to the USB storage

device, or connecting/disconnecting the device too often.

Doing so may result in the operation of the instrument “freez-

ing” or hanging up. While the instrument is accessing data

(such as during Save, Copy, Delete, Load and Format opera-

tions) or is mounting the USB storage device (shortly after the

connection), do NOT unplug the USB connector, 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.

PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 107

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping

sound is temporarily produced.

This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical

power.

When using a mobile phone, noise is produced.

Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may pro-

duce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it

further away from the instrument.

There is no sound even when the keyboard is

played or when a song or style is being played

back.

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

the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack,

no sound is output.

Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 94.)

Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard,

etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is

showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display.

The style or song does not play back when the

[START/STOP] button is pressed.

Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF;

refer to “External Clock” on page 94.

The style does not sound properly.

Make sure that the Style Volume (page 81) is set to an appropriate

level.

Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are play-

ing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 59).

Is the [ACMP] button lit? If it is not lit, press the [ACMP] button so it

lights.

No rhythm accompaniment plays when the

[START/STOP] button is pressed after selecting

the BaroqueAir Style in the MOVIE & SHOW cate-

gory.

This is not a malfunction. Style BaroqueAir Style does not have a

Rhythm part, so there is no rhythm sound for this Style. Also, this

Style does not have a Fill-In section. The other parts will begin play-

ing when you play a chord in the accompaniment.

Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound

seems to be cut off.

The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the

Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing

back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “sto-

len”) from the accompaniment or song.

The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the

opposite effect. For example, pressing the

footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sus-

tains the sounds.

The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the

footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before

turning on the power.

The sound of the voice changes from note to note.

This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple

recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the key-

board; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different

from note to note.

The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or

there are Japanese characters in the display mes-

sages.

Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to

English. (See page 12)

The ACMP indicator does not appear when the

[ACMP] button is pressed.

Always press desired style category button ﬁrst when you are going

to use any style-related function.

There is no harmony sound.

The harmony effects (01–26) behave differently according to their

type. Types 01–05 function when style playback is on, chords are

played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is

played in the right-hand range. Types 06–26 will function whether

style playback is on or off. For types 06–12 you need to play two

notes at the same time.

Voice List

■ Maximum Polyphony ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

The instrument has 64-note maximum polyphony. This means

that it can play a maximum of up to 64 notes at once, regard-

less of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a

number of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment

is used the total number of available notes for playing on the

keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the

Split Voice and Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is

exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most

recent notes have priority (last note priority).

● Panel Voice List

• The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for

each voice. Use these program change numbers when

playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device.

• Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI Pro-

gram Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Program Num-

bers and Program Change Numbers differ by a value of 1.

Remember to take this into consideration.

• Some voices may sound continuously or have a long

decay after the notes have been released while the sus-

tain pedal (footswitch) is held.

•“ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.

• Each percussion voice uses one note.

• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “1:

Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).

•Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.

•Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed

to be played alternately with each other.)

•*: XG optional kit.

● Harmony Types

No. Harmony Type Description

1 01(Standard Duet)

Harmony types 01–14 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the sin-

gle-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the auto

accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing

songs that contain chord data.

2 02(Standard Trio)

3 03(Full Chord)

4 04(Rock Duet)

5 05(Country Duet)

6 06(Country Trio)

7 07(Block)

8 08(4-Way Close 1)

9 09(4-Way Close 2)

10 10(4-Way Open)

11 11(1+5)

12 12(Octave)

13 13(Strum)

14 14(Multi Assign)

15 15(Echo 1/4)

Types 15–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in time with

the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompaniment is on or not;

however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo setting (page 72). The individual

note values in each type let you synchronize the effect precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings

are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note

triplets.

• The Echo effect Types (15–18) create delayed repeats of each note played.

• The Tremolo effect Types (19–22) repeat all held notes (up to four).

• The Trill effect Types (23–26) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes are held.

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. • Use the specified adaptor (page 135) 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 • Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the instrument, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel. • Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands. Fire warning • Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall over and cause a fire. If you notice any abnormality • 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. • 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: Power supply/AC power adaptor • 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. 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 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 or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over. • Do not 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)-12 4 PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 1/2 Connections Saving 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. Saving and backing up your data • The panel settings and some other types of data are not retained in memory when you turn off the power to the instrument. Save data you want to keep to the Registration Memory (page 85). Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation. Save important data to a USB storage device/external device such as a computer (page 98). Maintenance • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Backing up the USB storage device/external media Handling caution • To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you save your important data onto two USB storage devices/external media. • 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 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.

Setting Up Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power. Power Requirements Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on. Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the instrument is set to STANDBY. • Use the specified adaptor (page 135) only. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument. Connect the power adaptor’s DC plug to the power supply jack. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet. CAUTION • Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms. The instrument speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/ OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument’s output signal to that device. • Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing. CAUTION AC outlet • To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack) The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. NOTE • Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. • Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation. 10 PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual Setting Up Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal) Turning the Power On Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch again to turn the power OFF. Connect the instrument’s USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performance data and Song files between the two (page 96). To use the USB data-transfer features you’ll need to do the following: • First, make sure the POWER switch on the instrument is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer. After making the connections, turn the instrument’s power on. • Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer from CD-ROM (see page 101). • Install the MusicSoft downloader on your computer from the website (see page 103) Backup data in the flash memory is loaded to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no backup data exists on flash memory, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is turned on. CAUTION • Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet. CAUTION • Never attempt to turn the power off when a “Writing..” message is shown in the display. Doing so can damage the flash memory and result in a loss of data. PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 11 Setting Up Changing the Display language Adjusting the LCD CONTRAST control This instrument allows you to select English or Japanese as the display language. The default display language is English, but if you switch to Japanese the lyrics, file names and some messages will be displayed in Japanese where appropriate.

CAUTION • Looking at the display for a long period of time in the dark may cause eyestrain or damage to your eyesight. Make sure to use the instrument with as much ambient light as possible and also take adequate breaks and rest from use. Press the CATEGORY [ < ] and [ > ] buttons a number of times until the “Language” item appears. The currently selected display language will appear below the “Language” item.

The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad, for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale). 3rd Root 3rd In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the chord (this is the chord’s “root position” ... using other chord notes for the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and anchors the other chord notes. The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third. Major third–four half steps (semitones) Minor third–three half steps (semitones) The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two additional chords, as shown below. Major chord CM Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor chord Cm Minor 3rd Major 3rd Augmented chord C aug Major 3rd Major 3rd Diminished chord C dim Minor 3rd Minor 3rd The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”). ● Reading Chord Names Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord (other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses ... all at a glance.

(License v5.0 (DMN), 30 July 2007) Appendix Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause and Solution When the instrument is turned on or off, a popping sound is temporarily produced. This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power. When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the instrument may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the instrument. There is no sound even when the keyboard is played or when a song or style is being played back. The style or song does not play back when the [START/STOP] button is pressed. Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/OUTPUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of headphones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output. Check the Local Control on/off. (See page 94.) Is the FILE CONTROL display showing? The instrument’s keyboard, etc., will not produce any sound while the FILE CONTROL display is showing. Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display. Is External Clock set to ON? Make sure External Clock is set to OFF; refer to “External Clock” on page 94. Make sure that the Style Volume (page 81) is set to an appropriate level. The style does not sound properly. Is the split point set at an appropriate key for the chords you are playing? Set the split point at an appropriate key (page 59). Is the [ACMP] button lit? If it is not lit, press the [ACMP] button so it lights. No rhythm accompaniment plays when the [START/STOP] button is pressed after selecting the BaroqueAir Style in the MOVIE & SHOW category. This is not a malfunction. Style BaroqueAir Style does not have a Rhythm part, so there is no rhythm sound for this Style. Also, this Style does not have a Fill-In section. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment. Not all of the voices seem to sound, or the sound seems to be cut off. The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 32 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompaniment or song. The footswitch (for sustain) seems to produce the opposite effect. For example, pressing the footswitch cuts off the sound and releasing it sustains the sounds. The polarity of the footswitch is reversed. Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. The sound of the voice changes from note to note. This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the voice may be slightly different from note to note. The Demo display is shown in Japanese, and/or there are Japanese characters in the display messages. Make sure the Language setting in the FUNCTION display is set to English. (See page 12) The ACMP indicator does not appear when the [ACMP] button is pressed. Always press desired style category button first when you are going to use any style-related function. There is no harmony sound. The harmony effects (01–26) behave differently according to their type. Types 01–05 function when style playback is on, chords are played in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, and a melody is played in the right-hand range. Types 06–26 will function whether style playback is on or off. For types 06–12 you need to play two notes at the same time. PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 107 Messages LCD Message Comment Access error!

NOTE • Not all the messages are listed in the table: the messages necessary to be explained only. PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual 109 Voice List ■ Maximum Polyphony ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● The instrument has 64-note maximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 64 notes at once, regardless of what functions are used. Auto accompaniment uses a number of the available notes, so when auto accompaniment is used the total number of available notes for playing on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Split Voice and Song functions. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded, earlier played notes will be cut off and the most recent notes have priority (last note priority). NOTE • The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the instrument via MIDI from an external device. • Program Numbers 001 to 128 directly relate to MIDI Program Change Numbers 000 to 127. That is, Program Numbers and Program Change Numbers differ by a value of 1. Remember to take this into consideration. • Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held. ● Panel Voice List Voice No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 110 Bank Select MIDI Voice Program No. MSB LSB Change# (category) (0–127) (0–127) (1–128) Piano 1 0 113 1 2 0 112 2 3 0 114 1 4 0 112 7 5 0 113 7 6 0 112 4 7 0 112 3 8 0 113 4 9 0 114 4 10 0 113 3 E.Piano 1 0 114 5 2 0 118 5 3 0 115 5 4 0 118 6 5 0 113 6 6 0 119 5 7 0 120 5 8 0 116 6 9 0 112 5 10 0 112 6 11 0 116 5 12 0 114 6 13 0 115 6 14 0 113 5 15 0 117 6 16 0 117 5 17 0 112 8 18 0 113 8 Strings 1 0 117 50 2 0 116 50 3 0 122 50 4 0 114 49 5 0 113 41 6 0 112 49 7 0 113 49 8 0 112 52 9 0 112 50 10 0 116 49 11 0 113 50 12 0 112 45 13 0 115 50 14 0 112 51 15 0 112 46 16 0 125 49 17 0 112 42 18 0 112 43 19 0 112 44 20 0 113 111 21 0 112 47 22 0 113 47 23 0 113 108 PSR-S550 Owner’s Manual Voice Name Live!

For example, in “1: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0). • Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released. • Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to be played alternately with each other.) • *: XG optional kit.

These types sound when chords are played in the auto accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing songs that contain chord data. Types 15–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompaniment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo setting (page 72). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets. • The Echo effect Types (15–18) create delayed repeats of each note played. • The Tremolo effect Types (19–22) repeat all held notes (up to four). • The Trill effect Types (23–26) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes are held.
