Background Songs
If you have Outlook Express,
when you send a message, you will notice at the
top of the window a 'Format' selection. Click on
it if you want to send a message with background
picture, colour and sound and you can choose what
you want to add to your email. One tip: the
'Sound' selection is set to 'wav', but just click
on the little arrow beside the files of type box
and you'll see other selections.

TIP #005......ALLPSR
Rhythm Breaks
There is a feature of rhythm
breaks which can increase the number of
variations. To make rhythms as interesting as
possible, try including regular breaks rather
than allowing the same variation to trundle along
too long. You can hit the break buttons at
different points within the bar instead of only
at the beginning. It is possible to get 4
different break patterns by hitting beats 1,2,3
or 4. Often a simple 1 beat break sounds
effective by hitting beat 4 in a bar.

TIP #008......640/740
FADE OUT AND RETARD
Regarding the fade out at
the end of a song. On the 640/740 you cannot fade
out the whole song at once . If you record the
accompaniment first, when you near the end of
recording press the ACMP/SONG VOLUME button and
either use the data wheel or the -/NO to decrease
the volume shown in your display until it reaches
zero. The fade out in your accompaniment will
then be recorded. If you are multitracking use
the same process but press the mixer button this
will fade out your voice R1, R2 or L1 whichever
is selected.

TIP #009......9000
PSR9000 SONG DIRECTORY
For saving a 'Song
Directory' you can save 5 different Directories
in the 'Song File Directory' from your Hard
Drive, in buttons 1, 11, 111, 1V and V, I would
suggest to leave button 1 defaulted to the Floppy
Disk so that if you want to use a floppy disk,
just press the number 1 button and use the other
4 buttons defaulted to different 'Song
Directories from your Hard Drive, (you can store
up to 250 songs from each of the HD Directories.
All you need to do is to, lets say, store a Hard
Drive Directory in number 2 button of the 'Song
File Directory'.
1, Press 'Song Player' and number 2 button.
2, Press 'Popup' and select the first partition
of the Hard Drive.
3, Press the 'In' button to move the Directories
into the Centre Column.
4, Select which Song Directory you want and press
'Next'
5, A message will say "The directory has
been changed, etc) press 'OK' You then can press
the 3rd button and select another Song Directory
etc. then the 4th button, then the fifth button
to store other directories in those buttons. To
memorise them to be stored, press the 'A' (musical
notes) button on the top left of the main page
and press 'Backup' (this is only to save the
changes that you have made, not a full Backup)
failing to do this would result in the
directories not being saved. You can also save up
to 250 styles from a single Hard Drive Directory
in the 'Disk Direct' button, -:
1, Press the Auto Accomp button 'On' and press
'Popup'
2, Select the styles Directory from the Centre
Column (you will see them in the 'Contents'
section)
3, Press 'Next' and a message will say "The
directory has been changed, etc) press 'OK' To
memorise them to be stored, press the 'A' (musical
notes) button on the top left of the main page
and press 'Backup'

TIP #010......740,8000,9000 .
Touch Sensitivity
Use Initial Touch/touch
sensitivity to get the feel of a song . You will
find after the adjustments, your music will have
more light and shade as you play and sound ten
times better.
On thePSR 740 - There is a
Touch toggle button and the sensitivity can be
adjusted from 1 to 127 only. The default is 100.
On the PSR9000/PRO If you
press the 'Function' button and go to
'Controller' then 'Panel Controller' and set
Left, Right 1. Right 2, Right 3 on the 9000/Pro (or
Lead on the 8000 or the 2 voices on the other
keyboards) set them to 'ON' and select, Hard 2,
Hard 1, Normal, Soft 1 or Soft 2, depending how
you play.

TIP #012......ALLPSR .
Intros and Endings
There are many ways to use
intros and endings. Sometimes, you may listen to
intros and they will inspire a song. Try to
listen to major and minor keys. Use also intros
that are not 'fixed', meaning the ones that you
can add chords to, because often the intro does
not fit with the idea you may have or the chords
progression does not correspond to the feeling.
Listen to the intros and see how many songs you
can think of for that particular intro. "
Intros & endings " can also be used part
way through tunes as "bridges" (if
using an "ending" .......press a
variation button just before the "end"
& the rhythm will continue ). Also, it is
possible to alter voices (& tempo ) to fit
different tunes You may wish to mute the parts
which are not required........and whatever you do....enjoy
your music ! Keep pressing buttons (& notes )
and see what happens ! , CV./HD. Another "trick"
to check out is changing the tempo of a style.
Making Fast styles Slow or Slow styles Fast is
often like hearing a totally different style.
Further, if you mute all but, say, the rhythm,
bass, and one chord of a style it can also sound
quite "different". Don't look at the
first chord of the first measure of the song.
Look at the LAST chord used in the song. That one
usually sounds best. You can mess around and see
how you like changes. Do the intro in MINOR
instead of major, etc. EXPERIMENT.Press Intro/Ending
and just let a few notes play before going back
to the main, or press Fillin repeatedly, etc.,
etc. BG.

TIP #013......9000 .
Dyslexic Disks/Keys?
Hello, First my PowerMac
began to give some read errors, then it wouldn't
read the PC's, then not read the Mac formatted
disks. (Mac service man said "new floppy
drive needed!" Not cheap for a Mac. So, I
took a risk. I paid $7.00 at Office Depot for the
wet cleaning disk. After several times through it
began to read the PC disks. Then, it began to
read the Mac disks. Saved lots. Then, a week
later my 9000 (not then a year old) began to give
me read errors, then not at all recognizing the
floppy. A trip through the cleaning disk (lots of
2 second start/stops) and it works perfectly.
Perhaps I got some bad disks that affected both.
While I'm at it. My 9000 stopped recognizing the
C in the left hand. It scrambled a lot of chord
recognition. Yamaha's answer: "Serviceman"
My Solution: A can of air blaster with the straw
directed into the small slot that gives access to
the contact strip (right next to the upper part
of each key. Works perfectly now for months.

TIP #014......ALLPSR .
Solo Playing
Here's another trick you may
not know: playing any three adjacent notes (such
as C, C#, D) below the split while in fingered
mode with the arranger running will immediately
stop everything except the drums. To resume the
chords and bass, just play another chord. DonM
Hi, I have a tip which follows on from tip 14. I
don’t whether this is common knowledge, if
it is, please ignore my ramblings. I was quite
excited by it anyway !!! I just realised by
accident the other day, if you hold down three
adjacent keys as stated, but also hold down a
fourth in the bass, you get a rhythm with just a
bass line played over the top. For example: G1 C2
C#2 D2 plays cancel/G

TIP #015......9000 .
FILL-IN AND STORE
The way I play the Fill-in's
is by using the sustain (FC5) pedal which can be
assigned to the registration bank buttons, on the
Pro there are 32 different types of functions
including OTS + and OTS - on SW1 and SW2
footswitches you can assign two switches to each
of the buttons in the 64 memory banks, you can
assign -:
Fill Down. Self Fill. Fill Break. Fill Up. These
can be stored in the registration banks, to do
this let's say you want to start with button 1 of
bank 1 (always press your bank button first with
the 'Freeze' button OFF to retain your voices and
style that are stored in there) -:
1, Press the 'Function'
button and 'C' controller, this brings you to the
'Foot Controller' page.
2, Press the 'C' button to highlight number 2, SW1
(footswitch 1)
3, Just to make sure, press your bank number 1
and button number 1 to retain your settings in
there.
4, Scroll down to your chosen fill-in or whatever
and then press the Red memory button and button 1
of the registration bank.
5, Your new function is now stored in button 1.
6, Press your number 2 button first, again to
retain your settings in there and go through the
same procedure etc.
When you have completed what you want to do,
don't forget to make a Backup of your new
settings.
Vince, Music Man.

Display Playing Up?
Occasionally during
performance the PSR 9000 display will totally
jumble and scroll. When this happens try pressing
the two grey 'memory bank' (- & +) buttons
together. It works for me! Paul Beard

TIP #017......PSR530
and 8000 .
PSR530 Links
here's my little contribution.
on the psr 530, you can have an OTS link, just
like the psr1000 and the psr2000. once you press
the OTS button, the 4 registration buttons now
act as the four OTS. buttons 1 and 2
automatically change the beat to Main A and 3 and
4 changes it to Main B. hope this helps. Zack
>>>>>>>> This feature has
been on the 8000 almost 5 years ago, OTS (One
Touch Settings) buttons 1 and 2 are assigned to
Main A, and OTS buttons 3 and 4 are assigned Main
B, with the 'Freeze' button OFF. Also with the
PSR 8000 if you have the 'Freeze' button OFF and
using the Pre-set styles you can have 4 different
intros, by pressing the OTS button 1, then OTS
button 2, which are on Main A, then press OTS
button 3, then OTS button 4 which are on main B,
so by pressing any of the 4 OTS buttons with the
'Freeze' button OFF, you will have 4 different
intros, 4 different variations and 4 different
endings, the 9000 and the Pro have only 3 intro's
and endings. Perhaps the 530 and other keyboards
with Main A and Main B also have 4 variations
etc? Vince Cochran

Saving Custom Voices PSR9000
SAVING CUSTOM VOICES PSR9000
1, Copy the custom voices to a floppy disk, click
on the floppy with the right mouse and make a
folder, call it, e.g. Custom.usr If you don't do
this the keyboard won't read it.
2, Move the custom voices into the Custom.usr
folder in your floppy.
3, Load the floppy into the keyboard and press
the 'Disk/SCSI' button and 'Load From Disk'
4, Highlight the FD from the 'Device' column and
press 'Next' it will say "Checking"
5, Here you have 2 options Group or Individual,
if you haven't got any custom voices you can
select Group and it will load then all by
pressing the 'Next' button twice.
6, If you want to load one at a time press
Individual and you can overwrite some of your
existing voices by pressing the 'Next' button and
selecting from the 'Contents' section and
highlighting a place in the 'Destination' section
where you want to store your new voice.

PSR9000 Test Mode PSR9000
Test Mode I'm Dave From The U.K. I found this
Info for the PSR 9000 to find the total sampling
time. http://www.yamaha.com/ycaservice/group020/fgrop020.htm
1) Press and hold down the [DEMO], [EXIT] and [II]
'INTRO' buttons simultaneously then power ON the
keyboard.
2) Press the [NEXT] button repeatedly until '007:SIMM
Chk1' is displayed in the screen.
3) Press the [START/STOP] button. The screen will
display the current total SIMM memory.
4) Power the keyboard OFF and then ON to return
the keyboard to normal operation.
This puts the PSR 9000 into "Test Mode",
It tests every function of the 9000. You can
press the "Forward/Back" buttons for
each test. Press the "Start/Stop"
button to start each test. Wait until the display
says "OK". You Press the "Start/Stop"
button or "C2 key" to escape each test.
If you press the "Next" button
repeatedly till the "EXIT" test and
press the "Start/Stop" button this will
boot the 9000 as normal. It's Very Unusual. I
Don't know whether this will work for the 9000PRO

PSR9000 .
LEFT VOICE FREEZE OUT
LEFT VOICE FREEZE OUT What I
wanted to do is Freeze the 'left voice' when the
auto accompaniment is on: 'running'. The GOOD
news is that I recently found out the TYROS in
fact DOES allow you to accomplish this. Claude (France),
actually tested it out on his new Tyros and
confirms it WORKS ! Here are the procedures:
1) Select (checkmark) only the STYLE parameter in
the Freeze Parameters Window. Be sure to leave
the VOICE parameter unchecked.
2) Turn on (activate) the Freeze button
After performing the above, you can select any
Style and any of its 4 OTS registrations and all
OTS voice setups will change EXCEPT the 'left'
voice.
NOTE: Not only the Tyros, but the PSR2000 &
9000pro as well, allow you to freeze just the
'left voice' in the same manner. - Scott

TIP #021......ALLPSR .
WORDS AND MUSIC?
Using
www.musicrobot.com is a real help for connecting
song titles with the music. Also, if you go to
www.google.com , you can type " LYRIC 'blah
blah' " (only put quotation marks around the
song title) and you'll almost always get the
lyrics for a song! But even better, this works if
you can only remember a bit of the lyric!!!! (you
can type in a few distinctive words from a phrase
in the song -- like "Have You Heard").
But this doesn't work for a totally fungible
phrase like "I love you" ;) Now, also
at google, if you type "MIDI 'blah, blah' (again,
type only the title or phrase from the song in
quotation marks) you can usually find a .mid that
you can listen to. Bob

PRINTING YOUR MUSIC

a look at this link: http://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/midi+score
There are many MIDI programs, like Power Tracks
Pro, that will print the complete music score or
sheets for individual instruments from a MIDI
file. If you have a computer you can also use
this v-player for FREE: http://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/vp/index.php

and 9000/PRO .
Midis to Registration
Mid to Registration When you want to save a .mid
in registration memory do this:- Insert a floppy
disk with midi songs on it or select a midi song
that has been saved to the 'User' area. Now open
up the"Registration Bank" by pressing
the 'J' button on the PSR 2000. Create a "New"
bank. (You can give the Folder a personalized
name if you want to) Make sure all your Keyboard
settings are the way you want them ie., Main/Layer/Left
voices, Foot Pedal settings, Style, Multi-Pad,
Vocal Harmony settings, Volume settings, etc., to
play along with the midi song if you wish. Then
press the "Memory" button on the far
right of the Keyboard and press the number "1"
button of the "Registration Memory". It
will ask you if you want to "Save the Song"
along with the other settings. Choose "Yes"
to save the song. Then save the song to the
"User" area. ( PS: Make sure you "Save
the new Registration file you just created in the
"Registration Bank" area or the
registration will be LOST when you turn off your
Keyboard.) When you call up that Registration
next time the midi song will also load with the
registration. Best regards, Mike .

PERFORMANCE TRICKS
There are some other little Yamaha tricks also.
Pressing three adjacent keys (while in fingered
mode) stops everything except the drums. The
Arranger starts again when you hit a chord. When
you hit an ending or intro by mistake, pressing a
variation button gets you out of it. If your
Yamaha has auto-fill, pressing the variation
button twice quickly will change variations
without fill. You can use Intros as breaks (not
possible on many other brands). You can start a
song with the Ending (press a Variation as the
last part of the Ending plays). Many people may
not know that pressing plus and minus buttons at
the same time gives the factory default settings
for most functions (tempo, transpose, etc.). Also
often overlooked is the direct access button.
Press the DA button and then the button or pedal
that you need help with. For example to get to
Fingering Mode, press Direct Access and the
AutoAcc button. To change footswitch settings,
press DA and then the footswitch. I've noticed
that the Vocal Harmonizer on the 2000 will work
if you press a left hand chord, even when the
autoacc. is not running. Previous models didn't
do this. On several PSRs, pressing the style
category button repeatedly will change pages of
style listings. Same with sounds. You can program
the Talk button to give you a totally different
mic sound. It doesn't have to be used just for
Talk. These are just a few things that come to
mind that may be helpful. DonM .

Scratched

Hi, thought
this might be useful to many. Keyboard keys
scratch removal. Found a very good product to do
scratch removal. I used a car polish product....Turtlewax..Finish
2001..liquid. The wax version probably works as
well. It has a very fine, mild abrasive, won't
scratch. Probably a lot of other car finish
products would work as well. I used a "Q tip"
to apply it & rub along the scratch and a
soft cloth to remove. Takes some elbow grease in

TIP #26......ALLPSR
WindowsXP and Your Music
Got this from one of the Yamaha sites:
Windows XP and music.
When working on a PC with Windows XP there are a few things to consider if you want to use the PC as professional music workstation.
On an ideal professional music system you do not need any games or office programs, any software you do not need for making music should not be installed on the computer. You also should be cautious when using internet on your music PC – regarding virus attacks and downloading unsafe software programs.
Windows XP installs a few things in the startup folder that you do not need. First you should get rid of the Windows Messenger, as this program likes to run always in the background. You can open the windows messenger when clicking with the right mouse key on the messenger symbol in the taskbar and choosing “open”. You can also find the windows messenger in the program files folder on drive C. Once opened choose the menu “tools” and then “options”. Choose “preferences” and uncheck all options, especially “run this program when windows starts” and “allow this program to run in the background”. Click on OK and close the program choosing the menu “file” and then click “close”.
The windows messenger is most probably not the only program running in the background. To check, what programs are running you should do the following:
Click on start in the windows taskbar and then “run”. Type in “msconfig”. Choose “startup”. Here you will find a list of programs that are started as soon as you run windows. It does not make a difference, if you uncheck all – your computer will work without any problem. We suggest to leave the programs related to your sound devices, e.g. the mLAN manager, and eventually virus scanning software checked and uncheck all that you do not seem to need, especially Office programs. You can do nothing wrong when trying around different settings here. Every time you have made new settings and clicked on OK you have to restart your computer to make the settings active. After restart a Windows message appears. Check the box to avoid that this message appears every time you start up Windows XP.
It also helps to deactivate virus scanning programs when working with your music software. We suggest to turn it off directly in the taskbar and not to uncheck it in the startup configuration. Most virus programs can be deactivated when clicking on the respective symbol in the taskbar and the choosing “exit” or “close”.
Every program running in the background uses CPU power and memory of your computer – CPU power and memory that you need for your digital audio workstation. But even a bigger problem is that any programs running in the background can cause serious audio dropouts or crackle noises.
There are more things you can do to optimize your PC. Click on start, select the control panel and click on “system”. Choose the “advanced” file and click on the performance settings button. Check in the upcoming window “Adjust for best performance”. After that choose the “advanced” file. In the processor handling settings check “background services”. This setting is recommended by most audio software manufacturers for optimal performance when running their programs. Click on OK to apply the settings you have made.
Choose the file “Remote” and uncheck “Allow remote assistance invitations to be sent from this computer”. After that choose the file “Automatic Updates” and check the box “Turn off automatic updating”. Click “OK” to apply the changes.
On an optimized audio computer you also do not need a screen saver. Right click on the desktop, choose “screen saver” and set to none. Then select the monitor power options, choose the file hibernation and uncheck the box.
These are some fundamental settings to run Windows XP optimized for audio applications. More useful tips can be found here: www.musicxp.net.

TIP #027......TYROS
FREEZE
Any Tyros owner who has ever used registrations as eight additional voices while playing a song and has forgotten to turn "freeze" on, knows the shock of having your song change styles and tempo in the middle. If you use the right kind of "style" you can eliminate this problem. This is based on the fact that all registrations attach to the style in place when they are created or modified. The secret is the "style" you pick to create them.
1. Pick a "style" that isn't permanently in your keyboard that you have on a floppy disk. I prefer one I dislike and will never use. Load this "style" in your keyboard and "freeze" it while you're editing or creating your registrations.
2. Complete your registrations and "save" them. Name them and treat them like any other registrations.
3. Remove the disk with the "style" you used and leave it out of the keyboard. Load any new style you plan on using and turn off "freeze".
4. Load your new registration bank - leave "freeze" off.
5. Press any of the eight registrations - you will get all the available information contained in your registration including "Multi-Pads" and "Left" voice. Since you no longer have the "style" the registration was created with in your Tyros, it will leave whatever you have in place and won't effect it at all.
Be sure you use a style on a disk you can completely remove from your keyboard. If you use one in "preset", "User", or "HD", it will remember where it is and find it when you call it up.

TIP #028......PSR9000 TYROS .
GROUP HARMONY
I'm an ex-trombone player who bought a Tyros. I figured I could play lead (flute, violin…) parts with the musicians at Church and practice at home on the other features of the Tyros.
For playing lead parts I found that taking the PMOD and most AMOD out the modulation wheel and raising the
AMPLITUDE
to the 80-90 range helped to give a smooth volume variation when using the Mod wheel.
If the patch doesn't have much vibrato, I add it to aftertouch.
Nice.
BUT HERE'S MY BIG DISCOVERY!!
Pardon the shouting. Many here may already know about this.
I love the Harmony/Echo feature when playing Styles. I'm not good at multi finger right hand harmonies especially when using the left hand for chords when playing Styles. I only found about 10 Styles that I liked. It is amazing the way the harmonies match the instrument groups.
The Musicians at Church tend to drop beats, add measures and the tempo varies. No way to use the Styles with them which was a shame because Harmony/Echo feature would have filled in So nicely. I tried picking a Style, then not starting the style while playing chords with the left hand and doing Harmony/Echo with the right. It did not work correctly this way.
Then Eureka! I figured it out.
Pick any Style. It makes no difference. Turn the Style volume to ZERO. Turn on the AMCP and the Harmony/Echo buttons then hit the start button. You will hear nothing. When the music starts ignore the flashing lights and do the left hand chords (I use the AI 2 finger) still hearing nothing. When you start playing the single notes with the right hand you have the Harmony/Echo feature
working! The musicians can speed up, skip beats, repeat choruses and you can stay right with them!
