    PRECAUTIONS

    PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

    * Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

    WARNING

    Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting,damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

    •Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceableparts. 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 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.

    •Use the specified adaptor (PA-3Bor an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

    •Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. 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.

    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:

    •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.

    •When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.

    •Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multipleconnector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

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

    •Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/- polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.

    •Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.

    •Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

    •Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.

    •If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.

    •Keep batteries away from children.

    •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.

    •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 near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

    •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 cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnatedwiping cloths. Also, 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.

    •Use only the stand/rack 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 operate the instrument 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 USER DATA

    •Save all data to an external device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.

    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.

    Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

    *The illustrations and LCD screens as shown in this owner’s manual are for instructional purposes only, and may be different from the ones on your instrument.

    Yamaha Education Suite

    ........................ Pages 60-71

    The PortaTone features the new Yamaha Education Suite — a set of learning tools that utilize the latest technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before!

    The Yamaha Education Suite includes:

    Chord Guide functions in the Style mode —

    Smart and Dictionary — that make it exceptionally easy to learn chords and chord relationships. There’s also a powerful EZ Chord function that lets you easily record and play back chord progressions.

    •Smart lets you easily play harmonically “correct” chord progressions for whatever key you specify. It’s great for learning — and performing!

    •Dictionary is a built-in“chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play specific chords. You type in the chord name, and the PortaTone shows you which notes to play!

    •EZ Chord is a powerful and simple way to program and play chord progressions. Record all the chord changes you need for a song, then play back the chords one after another by simply playing a single key!

    Portable Grand..............

    Page 24

    The PortaTone also has a Portable Grand function for realistic piano performance. Pressing the PORTABLE GRAND button instantly calls up the stunningly authentic “Stereo Sampling Piano” voice and configures the entire PortaTone for optimum piano play.

    •Exceptionally realistic and dynamic sounds with 100 voices, utilizing digital recordings of actual instruments.

The PortaTone also gives you convenient control over accompaniment Styles — including Tempo and independent Accompaniment Volume.

    •Powerful song recording operations for recording and playing back complete compositions (three User songs are available). Up to six tracks can be recorded to a song, including a special chord track for style accompaniment.

    •Convenient footswitch control over various functions — including sustain, start/stop, and more.

    •GM (General MIDI) compatibility and full GM voice set.

    •Large custom LCD gives you easy, at-a-glanceconfirmation of all important settings, as well as chord and note indications.

    SETTING UP

    This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing. Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.

    POWER REQUIREMENTS

    Although the PSR-225will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete resources.

    Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-225record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.

    Using an AC Power Adaptor

    To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3BPower Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could result in damage to the instrument, so be sure to ask for the right kind. Connect one end of the adaptor to the DC IN10-12Vjack on the rear panel of your PortaTone, and the other end to a suitable electrical outlet.

    •Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3BAC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR225.

    •Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-225,or during electrical storms.

    Using Batteries

    ■ Inserting Batteries

    Turn the instrument upside-downand remove the battery compartment lid. Insert six1.5-voltsize “D”(SUM-1,R-20or equivalent) batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned, and replace the lid.

    BATTERIES 1.5V x 6

    ■ When the Batteries Run Down

    When the batteries run low and the battery voltage drops below a certain level, the PortaTone may not sound or function properly. As soon as this happens, replace them with a complete set of six new batteries.

    •Never mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).

    •To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a long time.

    TURNING ON THE POWER

    With the AC power adaptor connected or with batteries installed, simply press the power switch until it locks in the ON position. When the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the power off. (Press the switch again so that it pops up.)

    STAND BY

    ON

    Even when the switch is in the “STAND BY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the PSR-225for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

    ACCESSORY JACKS

    ■ Using Headphones

    For private practicing and playing without disturbing others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT jack. Sound from the built-inspeaker system is automatically cut off when you insert a headphone plug into this jack.

    ■ Using a Footswitch

    This feature lets you use an optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to sustain the sound of the voices, or control a variety of other functions. (See page 91.) When this is used for sustain, the footswitch functions the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano — press and hold down the footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain the sound.

    PHONES/

    AUX OUT

    ■ Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo

    System

    Though the PortaTone is equipped with a builtin speaker system, you can also play it through an external amplifier/speaker system. First, make sure the PortaTone and any external devices are turned off, then connect one end of a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN jack(s) of the other device and the other end to the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT jack on the PortaTone.

    PHONES/

    Stereo system

    AUX OUT

    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.

    FOOT SWITCH

    •Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the FOOT SWITCH 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.

    ■ Using the MIDI Terminals

    The PortaTone also

    features MIDI termi-

    MIDI instrument

    nals, allowing you to

    interface the

    PortaTone with other

    MIDI instruments and

    devices. (For more

    information, see

    pages 20, 93.)

    PLAYING VOICES — THE VOICE MODE

    The Voice mode features 228 authentic voices (including 128 General MIDI voices), plus 10 special drum kits — all of which have been created with Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. The Voice mode gives you many powerful and versatile tools for playing and enhancing these Voices.

    The voices are divided into various instrument categories, all of which are printed on the panel for convenience. For a complete list of the available voices, see page 109.

    The Voice mode is actually divided into three separate modes: Main, Dual and Split. In the Main Voice mode (see below), you can play a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard. TheDual Voice mode (page 34) allows you to “layer” two different voices together for rich, complex sounds. TheSplit Voice mode (page 36) lets you set up two different voices for playing from separate sections of the keyboard. Moreover, each mode features special effect sections that let you enhance the sound of the Voice or Voices. These include Reverb, Chorus,

    and Harmony, as well as a “DSP” section that provides miscellaneous effects such as tremolo, echo, delay, distortion, equalization, and wah. (See page 40.)

    Other voice-relatedfunctions include Voice Set (page 38), which lets you automatically call up the ideal settings for each voice, and Touch Sensitivity (page 38), which determines how the voices respond to your playing technique.

    The PortaTone includes special Drum Kit voices

    — #101 - #110 — that let you play various drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the Drum Kit Voice chart on page 30.) Symbols are also printed above the keyboard, conveniently indicating which sounds are played from which keys.

    There are three ways to select voices: 1) directly entering the voice number with the numeric keypad, 2) using the +/- keys to step up and down through the voices, or 3) pressing the VOICE button to advance through the voice numbers.

    Using the numeric keypad

    Enter the digits of the voice number as indicated on the panel. For example, to select voice #42, press “4” on the numeric keypad, then “2.”

    All two-digitvoice numbers can be selected without entering an initial “0.” However, when selecting voice numbers 1 - 23, the PortaTone pauses briefly before actually calling up the voice. (This pause allows for entering threedigit voice numbers, such as “235.” Entering the numbers “2” then “4” immediately calls up voice #24, since there are no voices #240 or higher.)

    If you want to immediately call up voices #1 - #23, enter one or two zeros before the number; for example, select voice #9 by pressing “0,” “0,” then “9.” Pressing only “0” does not change the voice.

    Using the +/- keys

    Press the + key to select the next voice number, and press the - key to select the previous voice. Holding down either key continuously scrolls up or down through the numbers. The +/- keys have a “wrap around” feature. For example, pressing the + key from voice #238 returns to voice #1.

    Using the VOICE button

    FUNCTION SONG STYLE VOICE

    Each voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one voice may sound higher or lower than another voice at the same key.

    3 Play the selected voice.

    To change to another voice, repeat step 2 above.

    Since either the Style or Song mode is active in the background (as indicated by the mode name in the display, without the rectangle), you can also play styles or songs, respectively, in the Voice mode by simply pressing the START/STOP button. The last selected style or song will be played.

    About Panel Voices and GM Voices

    Keep in mind that the PortaTone has two separate sets of voices: 100 Panel voices and 128 GM (General MIDI) Voices. The GM Voices can also be used for optimum playback of GM-compatible

    song data. This means that any GM song data (played from a sequencer or other MIDI device) will sound just as the composer or programmer intended.

    When a GM voice is selected, the General MIDI icon appears at the top left of the display.

    When you select a voice, the PortaTone also automatically calls up various settings that are appropriate for the voice. [This is true when Voice Set (Function #72, page 39) is set to on — the default setting.]

    Drum Kit Voice Chart (voices 101 - 110)

    When one of the 10 panel Drum Kit voices are selected you can play different drums and percussion instruments on the keyboard. The drums and percussion instruments played by the various keys are marked by symbols above the keys.

    TRANSPOSE AND TUNING

    You can also adjust the tuning and change the transposition (key) of the entire PortaTone sound with the Transpose and Tuning functions.

    Transpose

    Transpose determines the key of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to easily match the pitch of the PortaTone to other instruments or singers, or play in a different key without changing your fingering. The Transpose settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 12 semitones (± 1 octave).

    1 Select the Transpose function in the Overall menu.

    Press one of the OVERALL ▲/▼ buttons, repeatedly if necessary, until “Transpos” appears in the display.

    Tuning

    Tuning determines the fine pitch setting of both the main voice and the bass/chord accompaniment of the selected style. It also determines the pitch of the songs. This allows you to accurately match the tuning with that of other instruments. The Tuning settings can be adjusted over a range of ± 100 (approx.± 1 semitone).

    ADDITIONAL VOICE FUNCTIONS — VOICE SET AND TOUCH SENSITIVITY

    Voice Set and Touch Sensitivity are two important voice-relatedparameters, and are found in the Utility section of the Function parameters.

    When Voice Set (described in greater detail below) is set to on, you can automatically call up a variety of voice-relatedsettings that best suit the selected voice.

    Touch Sensitivity (also described below) gives you dynamic, expressive control over the voices by letting you set how the volume of the PortaTone responds to your playing strength.

    the soft volume range. When Touch is turned off (page 38), a constant velocity value of 80 is produced (total velocity range = 0 - 127).

    EFFECTS

    The PortaTone is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to enhance the sound of the voices. Four general categories of effects are provided

    — Reverb, Chorus, DSP, and Harmony — and each category has many effect types to choose from.

    Application of the effects is also exceptionally flexible. All four effects can be used simultaneously, and the degree of the Reverb, Chorus, and DSP effects can be adjusted independently for each of the voices: Main, Dual, and Split.

    REVERB

    The Reverb effect reproduces the natural ambient “wash” of sound that occurs when a instrument is played in a room or concert hall. A total of eight different Reverb types simulating various different performance environments are available.

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT —

    THE STYLE MODE

    The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns — as well as voice settings appropriate for each pattern — for various popular music styles.

    A total of 100 different styles are available, in several different categories. Each style is made up of separate “sections” — Intro, Main A and B (with 4 Fill-ins),and Ending — letting you call up different accompaniment sections as you perform.

    The auto accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (set by default to keys F#2 and lower) is for the auto accompaniment function.

    The Style mode also has the powerful Chord Guide features, which include three sophisticated learning and performance tools: Dictionary, Smart, and EZ Chord. The Dictionary and Smart functions (pages 62, 64) provide powerful, easy-to-usetools for learning chords and chord relationships. EZ Chord (page 66) lets you record chord progressions for an entire song, and then step through the chords by simply pressing a single key in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE

    About the Beat Display

    The dark bars underneath the style name in the display flash in time with the current tempo during playback (or Sync-Startstandby) of the accompaniment. The flashing bars provide a visual indication of both the tempo and time signature of the accompaniment. (For more information, see page 77.)

    4 Stop the accompaniment.

    You can do this in one of three ways:

    Pressing the START/STOP button

    The rhythm/accompaniment stops playing immediately.

    Using an Ending section

    Press the INTRO/ENDING button. The accompaniment stops after the Ending section is finished.

    Pressing the SYNC-STARTbutton

    This immediately stops the accompaniment and automatically enables Sync-Start,letting youre-startthe accompaniment by simply playing a chord or key in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.

    •Start/stop and Ending can also be controlled by using a connected footswitch. (See page 91.)

    •To have the Ending section gradually slow down as it is playing, press the INTRO/ENDING button twice quickly.

    2 Select a style and play the accompaniment.

    Select one of the styles and start playback, as described in steps 1 - 3 on page 47.

    3 Change chords using the auto accompaniment feature.

    Try playing a few successive single notes with your left hand, and notice how the bass and chord accompaniment change with each key you play. You can also play full chords to control the auto accompaniment. (Refer to page 56 for more information on how to use auto accompaniment.)

    •The ACMP ON/OFF button can also be used to turn off and on the bass/chord accompaniment while playing — allowing you to create dynamic rhythmic breaks in your performance.

    •You can use the Sync-Startfunction to create a similar, yet even more dramatic break. While the accompaniment is playing, pressing theSYNC-STARTbutton immediately stops the accompaniment and enablesSync-Start.This lets you play unaccompanied until you press a key in the auto accompaniment section to start the accompaniment again. This is especially effective when you press theSYNC-STARTbutton at the end of a musical phrase.

    Chords played in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard are also detected and played when the accompaniment is stopped. In effect, this gives you a “split keyboard,” with bass and chords in the left hand and the normally selected voice in the right.

    The Tempo of song (and accompaniment) playback can be adjusted over a range of 32 - 280 bpm (beats per minute). For instructions on changing the Tempo, see page 76.

    Each style has been given a default or standard tempo. (For instructions on restoring the default tempo, see page 77.) When accompaniment playback is stopped and a different style is selected, the tempo returns to the default setting of the new style. When switching styles during playback, the last tempo setting is maintained. (This allows you to keep the same tempo, even when changing styles.)

    ACCOMPANIMENT SECTIONS (MAIN A, MAIN B AND FILL-INS)

    While the accompaniment is playing, you can add variation in the rhythm/ accompaniment by pressing the MAIN/AUTO FILL A or B button. This automatically plays one of four Fill-insections, and smoothly leads into the next section — even if it is the same section.

    Each style has four different Fill-insections that play in the following conditions:

    •Main A → Main A(Fill-in“AA”)

    •Main A → Main B(Fill-in“AB”)

    •Main B → Main A(Fill-in“BA”)

    •Main B → Main B(Fill-in“BB”)

    •This function can also be controlled by using a connected footswitch. (See page 91.)

    •If you press the MAIN A or B button, the Fill-inwill begin immediately, and the newly selected section (A or B) will actually begin playing from the top of the next measure, unless the MAIN A or B button is pressed during the last beat of the measure — in which case theFill-inwill begin from the first beat of the next measure.

    •Rhythm sounds and Fill-insections are not available when one of the Pianist styles (#91 - #100) are selected.

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE

    ADJUSTING THE ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME

    The playback volume of the accompaniment can be adjusted. This volume control affects only the accompaniment volume. The volume range is 000 - 127.

    USING AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — MULTI FINGERING

    When it is set to on (page 52), the auto accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can change the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard using either the “Single Finger” or “Fingered” method. With Single Finger you can simply play a one-,twoorthree-fingerchord indication (see Single Finger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the PortaTone “understands” what chord you indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment.

    Single Finger Chords

    Chords that can be produced in Single Finger operation are major, minor, seventh and minor seventh. The illustration shows how to produce the four chord types. (The key of C is used here as an example; other keys follow the same rules. For example, Bb7 is played as Bb and A.)

    Fingered Chords

    To play a major chord: Press the root note of the chord.

    To play a minor chord: Press the root note together with the nearest black key to the left of it.

    To play a seventh chord: Press the root note together with the nearest white key to the left of it.

    To play a minor seventh chord: Press the root note together with the nearest white and black keys to the left of it (three keys altogether).

    Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fingered mode.

    •Notes in parentheses can be omitted.

    •Playing two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.

    •A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth, which can be used with both major and minor chords.

    •The chord fingerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be used — with the following exceptions:

    m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), m7(11), 1+2+5.

    •Inversion of the 7sus4 chord are not recognized if the 5th is omitted.

    •The AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).

    •Two-notefingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

    SETTING THE ACCOMPANIMENT SPLIT POINT

    The Accompaniment Split Point determines the highest key for the accompaniment section. The accompaniment can be played with the keys up to and including the Accompaniment Split Point key.

    This parameter can be set lower (but not higher) than the Split Point in the Split mode. When set to different values, the two settings affect one another in the following way:

    • When the Split mode Split Point is set higher than the Accompaniment Split Point:

    Main

    Accompaniment

    Split

    • When the Split mode Split Point is set to the same key as the Accompaniment Split Point:

    This determines the highest key for the accompani-

    Split Point

    ment section and sets the accompaniment split

    “point” — in other words, the key that separates the

    accompaniment section and the Main voice. (When

    accompaniment is turned on, the accompaniment

    section sounds up to and including the Accompani-

    ment Split Point key.) This cannot be set higher

    than the Split Point in the Split mode (page 37).

    While this is being set, the keyboard does not

    produce any sound. After setting this, make sure to

    select a different parameter or exit the Function

    mode before playing the keyboard.

    WHAT IS A CHORD?

    The simple answer: Three or more notes played simultaneously is a chord. (Two notes played together is an “interval” — an interval being the distance between two different notes. This is also referred to as a “harmony.”) Depending on the intervals between the three or more notes, a chord can sound beautiful or muddy and dissonant.

    The organization of notes in the example at left — a triad chord — produces a pleasant, harmonious sound. Triads are made up of three notes and are the most basic and common chords in most music.

    In this triad, the lowest note is the “root.” The root (also called the “tonic”) is the most important note in the chord, because it anchors the sound harmonically by determining its “key” and forms the basis for how we hear the other notes of the chord.

    The second note of this chord is four semitones higher than the first, and the third is three semitones higher than the second. Keeping our root note fixed and changing these notes by a semitone up or down (sharp or flat), we can create four different chords.

    Major chord

    Augmented chord

    Diminished chord

    Keep in mind that we can also change the “voicing” of a chord — for example, change the order of the notes (called “inversions”), or play the same notes in different octaves — without changing the basic nature of the chord itself.

    Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner. The use of intervals and chords is one of the most important elements in music. A wide variety of emotions and feelings can be created depending on the types of chords used and the order in which they are arranged.

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE

    WRITING CHORD NAMES

    Knowing how to read and write chord names is an easy yet invaluable skill. Chords are often written in a kind of shorthand that makes them instantly recognizable (and gives you the freedom to play them with the voicing or inversion that you prefer). Once you understand the basic principles of harmony and chords, it’s very simple to use this shorthand to write out the chords of a song.

    First, write the root note of the chord in an uppercase letter. If you need to specify sharp or flat, indicate that to the right of the root. The chord type should be indicated to the right as well. Examples for the key of C are shown below.

    Major chord

    Minor chord

    Augmented chord

    Diminished chord

    C

    Cm

    Caug

    Cdim

    For simple major chords, the type is omitted.

    One important point: Chords are made up of notes “stacked” on top of each other, and the stacked notes are indicated in the chord name of the chord type as a number — the number being the distance of the note from the root. (See the keyboard diagram below.) For example, the minor 6th chord includes the 6th note of the scale, the major 7th chord has the 7th note of the scale, etc.

    CHORD GUIDE

    The Chord Guide functions of the PortaTone provide powerful, easy-to-usetools for learning chords and chord relationships. Chord Guide features three different types of operation: Dictionary, Smart, and EZ Chord.

    •Pressing the CHORD GUIDE button automatically turns on the auto accompaniment.

    •When you wish to use the Style mode normally without the Chord Guide functions, make sure that OFF is selected. To do this:

    1)Press the STYLE button to select the Style mode.

    2)Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that a style name is shown in the display (instead of “Dict.,” “Smart,” or “EZ”).

    Dictionary

    The Dictionary type is essentially a built-in“chord book” that shows you the individual notes of chords. It is ideal when you know the name of a certain chord and want to quickly learn how to play it.

    1 With the Style mode active, select the Dictionary Chord Guide.

    Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that “Dict.” appears in the display.

    Smart

    The Smart type allows you to set the basic key for the chord accompaniment. Once this is set, you can simply press single keys in the scale and have harmonically appropriate chords played automatically. For example, with the key set to C, playing an D will result in an D minor chord (rather than a harmonically inappropriate D major).

    The Smart type is not only a convenient feature for easily playing various chord progressions in a specified key, it’s also an excellent learning tool to find out how chords relate to each other harmonically in a given key.

    EZ Chord

    The EZ Chord function is an exceptionally flexible and easy way to program semi-automaticbacking for your performances. It lets you record all necessary chord changes for an entire song, and then allows you to “play” each chord in the sequence you programmed by simply pressing a single key in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.

    Besides being a convenient performance tool, EZ Chord is also ideal for practicing right hand melodies and soloing techniques, since it lets you easily produce the chord accompaniment with your left hand — allowing you to concentrate on your right hand.

    EZ Chord gives you eight separate banks (each of which contains up to 128 chord spaces) to which you can record chords. A special bank chain function allows you to connect all banks, letting you switch automatically from one bank to the next, without breaking up your chord progression.

    EZ Chord — Playback

    Once you’ve recorded your own EZ Chord bank (page 68), you can play it back using the operation steps below.

    However, you can try out EZ Chord on your own right now, without having to record your own EZ Chord bank. Several chord progressions have already been recorded to EZ Chord banks 1 and 2, letting you try out this convenient feature and get some ideas on how to best use EZ Chord in your own performances. (For your convenience, the scores for factory-programmedbanks 1 and 2 are given on page 107.)

    1 Call up the Style mode and select a style. Also select an OTS setting, if desired.

    Press the STYLE button and select the desired style with the numeric keypad. (For more information on OTS, see page 72.)

    2 Select the EZ Chord function.

    Press the CHORD GUIDE button, repeatedly if necessary, until “EZ” appears. The auto accompaniment is automatically turned on when EZ Chord is selected.

    3 Select the desired EZ Chord bank.

    Use the numeric keypad. Buttons 1 - 8 select EZ Chord banks #1 - #8, respectively. Button 9 selects the bank chain “A-1”bank (see box below).

    4 Start the accompaniment.

    Use any one of the methods described on page 48 to start the accompaniment.

    The EZ Chord chords can also be played back without the full (bass and rhythm) accompaniment. To do this, simply skip step #4.

    5 Play the chords.

    To play a chord, press any one key in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.

    (128 are available in a bank).

    Each time you press a single key in the accompaniment section of the keyboard, EZ Chord plays the recorded chord and automatically advances to the next one. (Unrecorded “empty” blocks are skipped.) In this way, you can control the timing of chords with just a single finger of your left hand, and still use the powerful auto accompaniment features to create full backing — while you play melodies or solo with your right hand.

    •To reset the position to the first chord in the bank, simply select the same bank again by pressing the corresponding number button of the numeric keypad.

    •The accompaniment Split Point can be freely set, letting you determine what keys comprise the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. (See page 59.)

    •You can use the footswitch to select successive chords, letting you play the full keyboard while still being able to use EZ Chord. (See page 91.)

    Bank Chain

    A special bank chain function allows you to connect all banks, letting you go automatically from one bank to the next, without breaking up your chord progression. This, for example, lets you program chord changes for an entire set of songs, and not have to interrupt your performance by changing banks.

    To use this, go to step #3 above (in “EZ Chord Playback”) and press the “9” button of the numeric keypad.

    EZ Chord — Recording

    1 Enable recording.

    Press the RECORD button, repeatedly if necessary, until EZ Chord recording is selected. (“EZ” appears in the display and the “RECORD” indication flashes for a couple of seconds.)

    RECORD indication flashes briefly.

    2 Select the desired EZ Chord bank.

    Use the numeric keypad. Buttons 1 - 8 select EZ Chord banks #1 - #8, respectively.

    3 Start recording.

    — Clearing the Bank

    Before recording, you may want to erase (clear) all recorded chords for the selected EZ Chord bank. For instructions on doing this, see “Clearing an EZ Chord Bank” on page 71.

    Even if you’ve recorded over (erased) the factory set EZ Chord banks, you can restore the original banks. (See page 105.)

    When the “RECORD” indication stops flashing (and is lit continuously), you can start recording. Recording chords in EZ Chord is essentially a three-stepoperation:

    1) Select the desired block with the +/- buttons.

    3) Press the + button in the numeric keypad.

    This actually records the chord to the selected block and automatically moves to the next block.

    This step is necessary; the chord is not actually recorded until you press the + button. (Pressing the - button will select the previous block without recording the chord.)

    To record a sequence of chords, repeat steps 2) and 3) above (play a chord, select the next step, play a different chord, select the next step, etc.).

    4 Stop recording and exit from the record mode.

    When finished recording the chords, press the RECORD button. This exits from the record mode and lets you playback your newly recorded chords. (See page 66.)

    Recording a Space

    To leave a block empty (creating a space between blocks), simply select the next block without entering a chord. To leave the rest of a row empty and start at the next row, use the + button to move to the first block in the next row and start recording from that position. (For more infomation, see the hint “Using Spaces” on page 70.)

    Playing the Accompaniment During EZ Chord Recording

    It may be helpful for you to hear the style and auto accompaniment as you are recording chords in the EZ Chord function. To do this:

    1) Press the STYLE button.

    This briefly calls up the Style mode, while keeping EZ Chord recording active.

    2) Select the desired style.

    Before the display reverts back to EZ Chord (a couple of seconds after pressing the STYLE button), use the numeric keypad to select a style.

    3)Start accompaniment playback. Press the START/STOP button.

    4)Record the chord.

    Play the desired chord in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard. Remember that the chord is not actually recorded until you press the + button to move to the next block.

    If you manually enter the chord root and type (as described on page 68), the chord and bass accompaniment will not sound.

    HINT — Using Spaces

    If your chord progressions are not long and the maximum memory space for chords isn’t very important to you, you can use the spaces between recorded blocks to good advantage. (Keep in mind that spaces have no effect during playback; the EZ Chord function automatically skips the space or spaces and plays the next chord.)

    To record a space:

    Press the + button without recording a chord.

    Some advantages to using spaces:

    •Put one or two spaces between recorded chord blocks — for example, between the different sections (verse, chorus, bridge, etc.) of your song. This gives you a clear visual indication of where you are in a song, and makes it easier to perform the chord changes.

    •The chord progression for a single song may occupy far less than the 128 available chord blocks of a bank. Keep in mind that you do not need to use an entire bank for a single song. Simply skip the remaining blocks in the last row of the song (using the + button), and start recording the next song’s chords in the next row.

    3-040

    16 Blocks

    12 Blocks

    8 Blocks

    • Regardless of the musical genre — rock, pop, country, jazz, and even much contemporary music — the structure of most songs and music, in terms of length in measures, is based on the number four and its multiples. Examples of this include fourand eight-measuremelodic phrases, the popular“twelve-bar”blues, and thesixteen-measurelength of verses and choruses in many pop songs and jazz standards.

    What does this have to do with “spaces”? If your chord progression follows this kind of structure closely, you may want to group the chord changes for each section in four-,eight, twelveorsixteen-blockgroups. For example, the first song in the illustration above shows asixteen-blockgroup, followed by a group of twelve, then one of eight.

    AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE

    SONG RECORDING

    The PortaTone features powerful and easy-to-usesong recording features that let you record your keyboard performances — using up to six separate tracks — and create your own complete, fully orchestrated compositions. Up to three User songs can be recorded and saved. There are two record modes: Realtime and Step.

    Each press of the RECORD button cycles through the four Record modes — Realtime, Step, OTS, and EZ Chord — before exiting back to normal operation. (The OTS and EZ Chord modes are unrelated to Song recording; they are described on pages 72 and 68, respectively.)

    Realtime recording is similar to using a tape recorder; whatever you play on the keyboard is recorded in real time as you play it. Also, when you record subsequent parts to other tracks, you can hear the previously recorded parts as you record new ones.

    Step recording allows you to enter notes individually. As such, it is very similar to writing down the notes on a sheet of music paper; each note is entered one at a time.

    Each method has its own advantages and uses. Step recording is excellent for precision and for entering notes whose placement, rhythmic value, and velocity are fixed or consistent — such as individual drum parts in a rhythm pattern, or single notes in a syncopated bass part. It also gives you precise control in recording fast or complex passages that would be difficult or impossible to record in real time. Realtime

    recording on the other hand, is best for capturing the natural “feel” of a performance, since it allows you to record as you are playing and simultaneously hear what you are recording.

    Which method you use depends partly on the type of music you wish to create and partly on your own personal preference. You can even use both methods in tandem. For example, you could record a basic song guide to track 1 with Realtime, then use Step to record your “precision” parts to other tracks (and perhaps even rerecord track 1, once all the other parts are in place). Or you could program basic riffs and patterns with Step first, then use Realtime to add melodies and embellishments.

    Keep in mind that all recording operations “replace” the data. In other words, if you record to a track that already has recorded data, all previous data in the track will be erased and replaced by the newly recorded data.

    RECORDING A USER SONG — REALTIME RECORDING

    In brief, the basic operation for recording is:

    1)Make all desired PortaTone settings.

    2)Select the Realtime Record mode.

    3)Select a User song for recording.

    4)Select a track number.

    5)Start recording.

    6)Stop recording.

    7)Listen to your new recording.

    8)Record to other tracks as desired.

    9)Exit from the Record mode.

    Data that can be recorded to the normal (melody) tracks:

    •Note on/off

    •Velocity

    •Main voice settings (Voice Number*, Volume*, Octave, Pan*, Reverb Send Level, Chorus Send Level, DSP Send Level)

    •Dual voice settings (Dual on/off, Voice Number*, Volume*, Octave, Pan*, Reverb Send Level, Chorus Send Level, DSP Send Level)

    •Reverb on/off, Reverb Type*

    •Chorus on/off, Chorus Type*

    •DSP on/off, DSP Type*

    •Harmony on/off, Harmony Type

    •Sustain on/off

    •Tempo*, Time Signature* (if there is no such data in the Chord track)

    Data that can be recorded to the Chord track:

    •Style number*

    •Chord changes and timing

    •Changing sections (Intro, Main A/B, etc.)

    •Accompaniment Volume*

    •Tempo*, Time Signature*

    * These settings can only be recorded once at the beginning of a song; other settings can be changed in the middle of a song.

    1 Make all desired PortaTone settings.

    Before you actually start recording, you’ll need to make various settings for the song — such as selecting a style, setting the Tempo, and selecting a voice. (See pages 47, 76, and 27.)

    Selecting a style lets you use the sophisticated auto accompaniment features as part of your song. In this way, you can simply play the chords, and the PortaTone automatically creates the appropriate bass and chord backing. (For more information on auto accompaniment, see page 52.)

    If desired, also make other settings. Refer to the list above for settings that can be recorded to a song.

    Using the Metronome

    You can use the Metronome instead of a style if desired. This allows you to keep your performance “in time,” even when recording without rhythmic accompaniment. To do this, press the METRONOME button before recording in step #5 below. After the song is completely recorded, simply play back the song with the Metronome turned off.

    2 Select the Realtime Record mode.

    9 Exit from the Record mode.

    Press the RECORD button.

    ■ Additional Operations

    Muting Tracks During Playback

    While recording is enabled, you can selectively mute different tracks. This is useful for when you want to clearly hear certain tracks, and not others, during recording. Muting can also be done “on the fly” during playback. To use muting, press the corresponding SONG MEMORY button, repeatedly if necessary, until the desired track number in the display is off.

    Each press of a SONG MEMORY button (when playback is stopped) cycles through the following settings:

    MEASURE001 116TEMPO

    Track number flashes — Track will record.*

    1

    CHORD

    * Cannot be selected during playback.

    Track number off — Track is muted.

    Track number on — Track will play back.

    Re-recordinga Track

    If you’ve made a mistake and wish to record a track over again:

    Press the corresponding SONG MEMORY button, repeatedly if necessary, until the desired track number in the display flashes (indicating record standby for that track). Since doing this turns Sync-Startoff, press theSYNC-STARTbutton to turnSync-Starton again, then start recording (as explained in step #5 above).

    Alternately, simply press the START/STOP button to start recording.

    Clearing a Single Track

    If you wish to erase a single track without clearing the entire song (in the Song Clear operation, page 90):

    1)Press the RECORD button.

    2)Select the desired track (with the corresponding SONG MEMORY button).

    3)Press the START/STOP button once to start recording, and once again to stop (without playing any keys). This erases previous data, and creates a blank track.

    RECORDING A USER SONG — STEP RECORDING

    The basic steps for Step recording are similar to those for Realtime recording. In brief, the basic operation is:

    1)Make all desired PortaTone settings.

    2)Select the Step Record mode.

    3)Select a User song for recording.

    4)Select a track number.

    5)Start recording. Enter notes and rests individually, playing back the song occasionally to hear the results.

    6)Listen to your new recording.

    7)Record to other tracks as desired.

    8)Exit from the Record mode.

    Data that can be recorded to the normal (melody) tracks:

    •Note on/off

    •Velocity**

    •Main voice settings (Voice Number*, Volume*, Octave, Pan*, Reverb Send Level*, Chorus Send Level*, DSP Send Level*)

    •Dual voice settings (Dual on/off, Voice Number*, Volume*, Octave, Pan*, Reverb Send Level*, Chorus Send Level*, DSP Send Level*)

    •Reverb on/off, Reverb Type*

    •Chorus on/off, Chorus Type*

    •Chord changes and timing

    •Changing sections (Intro, Main A/B, etc.)

    •Accompaniment Volume*

    •Tempo*, Time Signature*

    *These settings can only be recorded once at the beginning of a song; other settings can be changed in the middle of a song.

    **All notes are entered at the same velocity; however, this can be changed in various ways with the Velocity Curve function (page 89).

    1 Make all desired PortaTone settings.

    This operation is the same as that of Realtime recording (page 80).

    Unlike Realtime Recording, Step Recording only allows you to record one track at a time; the Chord track cannot be recorded simultaneously with another track.

    5 Start recording.

    When the RECORD indication stops flashing and the track number starts flashing, you can start recording. Record each note (or chord) and rest individually, as described below:

    Recording Notes

    1)Select the desired position in the song (measure/beat) with the +/- buttons. (Each press of the button moves one beat forward or backward.)

    2)Play the desired key or keys. (The note name is shown at the top of display.)

    When recording chords to the Chord track, make sure the accompaniment is on, then play the desired chord in the accompaniment section of the keyboard.

    More than one note can be recorded at a time; however, only the last pressed note appears in the display.

    3) Select the note (time) value with the numeric keypad. (The note value is shown as an icon in the display.)

    For example, play middle C (C3), then press the “4” button (1/8 note).

    The beat bars also indicate the current recording position (as the beat of the measure).

    The note is automatically entered and Step recording moves to the next available position. For example, if a whole note is entered at the beginning of measure 1, the next position is the beginning of measure 2.

    As mentioned above, you can use the +/- keys to move backward and forward in the track. When material has been recorded, this steps through and sounds each note in succession.

    ■ Additional Operations

    5) After recording the desired rest value(s), record the next note.

    •The Intro section can only be recorded at the beginning of a song.

    •When an Ending section is selected, no further notes can be recorded.

    Triplets are three notes within a single beat — in other words, one beat is divided up into three equal units. Each note (or rest) of a triplet must be entered separately.

    Two eighth notes (within a quarter-notebeat).

    Three eighth-notetriplets (within aquarter-notebeat).

    Dotted notes extend the length of a note by half

    — in other words, the length of a dotted eighth note is an eighth note plus a sixteenth note.

    = +

    If you want to enter two or more consecutive beats of rest, you can simply use the + button to move forward in the track (for as many beats rest as desired). This saves you the trouble of repeatedly entering rests when there are several beats or measures of silence between notes.

    6 Listen to your new recording.

    You can listen to the entire step recorded track at any time by pressing the START/STOP button. The track you are working on plays back (until stopped), and returns to Step recording at the next position.

    Keep in mind that this only plays the selected track. To hear all tracks of the song, exit from Step Rec (press the RECORD button), then press the START/STOP button to start song playback.

    7 Record to other tracks as desired.

    To do this, simply repeat steps #4 - #6 above. Make sure that when you press the SONG MEMORY button corresponding to the desired track, the track number in the display flashes.

    8 Exit from the Record mode.

    This operation is the same as step #9 of Realtime recording (page 83).

    Replacing a Note or Rest

    If you want to change a note or rest you’ve just recorded, you can easily replace it with a new one. To do this:

    1)Select the desired position in the song with the +/- buttons.

    2)Press the new note on the keyboard (or the appropriate rest value button on the numeric keypad).

    3)Enter the new note value on the numeric keypad. (Enter dotted note or triplet first, if desired.)

    4)At the “Delete?” prompt press the + button. To cancel, press the - button.

    This operation deletes all previously recorded notes that follow the note to be replaced. Make sure you wish to delete any subsequent notes before actually replacing the selected note or rest.

    Entering Velocity Curves

    In Step recording, all notes are recorded at the same velocity or volume. To make a Step-recordedtrack sound more natural or to create some dynamic changes in the track, use the Velocity Curve function.

    1)Select the first note to be affected by the Velocity Curve (by using the +/- buttons of the numeric keypad). All subsequent notes will be velocity-transformed.

    2)Simultaneously hold down the VELOCITY button (“0” in the numeric keypad) and press + or - to select the desired Velocity Curve.

    Velocity Curve Chart

    You can specify a Velocity Curve in the middle of a track BEFORE recording the notes that the curve will affect. To do this, select the last note of the track (by using the +/- buttons), then enter the desired Velocity Curve. In this case, the Velocity Curve is NOT applied to that last note, but affects all subsequently entered notes.

    MIDI FUNCTIONS

    The PortaTone is MIDI-compatible,featuring MIDI IN and MIDI OUT terminals and providing a variety ofMIDI-relatedcontrols. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on yourPSR-225.

    The MIDI functions cannot be used in the Song mode.

    WHAT IS MIDI?

    No doubt you have heard the terms “acoustic instrument” and “digital instrument.” In the world today, these are the two main categories of instruments. Let’s consider an acoustic piano and a classical guitar as representative acoustic instruments. They are easy to understand. 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?

    Tone Generator

    Sampling

    (Electronic circuit)

    Sampling

    Note

    Note

    Playing the keyboard

    Based on playing information from the keyboard, a sampling note stored in the tone generator is played through the speakers.

    As shown in the illustration above, in an electronic instrument the sampling note (previously recorded note) stored in the tone generator section (electronic circuit) is played based on information received from the keyboard. So then what is the information from the keyboard that becomes the basis for note production?

    For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the PSR-225keyboard. 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, the tone generator plays the stored sampling note.

    Example of Keyboard Information

    Voice number (with what voice)

    01

    (grand piano)

    Note number (with which key)

    60

    (C3)

    Note on (when was it pressed) and

    Timing expressed numerically (quarter note)

    note off (when was it released)

    Velocity (about how strong)

    120 (strong)

    93

    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 PSR-225can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data. ThePSR-225can be controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices and effects, change parameter values and of course play the voices specified for the various parts.

    MIDI messages can be divided into two groups: Channel messages and System messages. Below is an explanation of the various types of MIDI messages which the PSR-225can receive/transmit.

    ● Channel Messages

    The PSR-225is an electronic instrument that can handle 16 channels. 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.

    Message Name

    PSR-225Operation/Panel Setting

    Note ON/OFF

    Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played.

    Each message includes a specific note number which corre-

    sponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based

    on how hard the key is stuck.

    Program Change

    Voice number (along with corresponding bank select MSB/LSB

    settings, if necessary).

    Control Change

    Messages that are used to change some aspect of the sound

    (modulation, volume, pan, etc.).

    ● System Messages

    This is data that is used in common by the entire MIDI system. System messages include messages like Exclusive Messages that transmit data unique to each instrument manufacturer and Realtime Messages that control the MIDI device.

    Message Name

    PSR-225Operation/Panel Setting

    Exclusive Message

    Reverb/chorus/DSP settings, etc.

    Realtime Messages

    Clock setting

    Start/stop operation

    The messages transmitted/received by the PSR-225are shown in the MIDI Implementation Chart on page 114.

    MIDI Terminals

    In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be connected by a cable.

    The MIDI terminals of the PSR-225are located on the rear

    panel. IN MIDI OUT

    MIDI IN ...... Receives MIDI data from another MIDI device.

    MIDI OUT ....Transmits thePSR-225’skeyboard information as MIDI data to another MIDI device.

    •Special MIDI cables (sold separately) must be used for connecting to MIDI devices. They can be bought at music stores, etc.

    •Never use MIDI cables longer than about 15 meters. Cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors.

    By connecting your PSR-225’sMIDI terminals to a personal computer, you can have access to a wide variety of music software.

    When using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-225.

    Use only special MIDI cables when connecting MIDI devices.

    ● Connect the MIDI terminals of thePSR-225to the MIDI terminals of the personal computer.

    Range/Settings

    81

    Remote Channel

    RemoteCh

    off, 01 - 16

    This determines how the PortaTone is controlled by a “remote” (external) MIDI keyboard.

    Set this to one of the 16 channels (01 - 16) for using an external keyboard to remotely control the PortaTone functions over the selected channel. (The remaining 15 channels can be used for multitimbral operation.)

    When this is set to “off,” the PortaTone can be used as a full 16-channelmulti-timbralsound source. The default setting is “off.”

    82 Keyboard Out

    KbdOut

    on/off

    This determines whether the keyboard performance data of the PortaTone is transmitted or not.

    When this is set to “off,” notes played on the PortaTone will not affect (not be transmitted to) the connected MIDI device. When this is set to “on,” the following keyboard data is transmitted: Main voice part over channel 1, Split voice part over channel 2, and Dual voice part over channel 11. The default setting is “on.”

    If both Keyboard Out and Local Control (#84 below) are set to “off,” neither the connected MIDI device nor the PortaTone voices will sound when playing the keyboard.

    83 Accompaniment Out AcmpOut

    on/off

    This determines whether Auto Accompaniment data is transmitted via MIDI OUT or not.

    When set to “on,” Auto Accompaniment data is transmitted over channels 3 - 10 (as listed below). The default setting is “on.”

    Accompaniment Transmit Channels:

    Channel 3

    —

    Bass

    Channel 4

    —

    Chord part 1

    Channel 5

    —

    Chord part 2

    Channel 6

    —

    Pad

    Channel 7

    Phrase part 2

    Channel 9

    —

    Rhythm part 2

    Channel 10

    —

    Rhythm part 1

    You can use Accompaniment Out in several ways. One useful application would be to play all or selected parts on a connected MIDI tone generator. In this way you could reinforce the PortaTone sounds by layering (or substituting) with the sounds of the tone generator. In a different application, you could record the individual parts from each channel to a sequencer, and use the comprehensive editing features of the sequencer to re-arrangethe accompaniment parts.

    84 Local Control

    Local

    on/off

    This determines whether the keyboard is “connected” to the internal Voices of the PortaTone.

    When set to “on,” the Voices respond to notes played from the keyboard. When set to “off,” the Voices respond only to incoming MIDI data (via MIDI IN). The default setting is “on.” If you are routing the MIDI OUT on the PortaTone to a sequencer and back to the MIDI IN, you may want to set this to “off” to avoid MIDI “feedback.”

    No.

    External Clock

    ExtClock

    on/off

    This determines whether the style and song playback functions are controlled by the PortaTone’s internal clock (off) or by MIDI clock data from an external sequencer or computer (on).

    This should be set to “on” when you want to have style or song playback follow the external device (such as a rhythm machine or a sequencer). The default setting is “off.”

    •When this is set to “on,” style playback CANNOT be controlled from the PortaTone panel controls.

    •External Clock is automatically set to “off” when the Song mode is selected.

    86 Bulk Dump Send

    BulkSend

    This lets you save important PortaTone data and settings to another device (such as a sequencer, computer, or MIDI data filer).

    The saved settings are: User One Touch Setting banks 1 - 4, User Songs 1 - 3, and EZ Chord banks 1 - 8), which you can then reload any time you need. For example, you can save data to floppy disk on a computer or a MIDI data filer (such as the Yamaha MDF3), and have unlimited storage capability for your valuable PortaTone data. (For detailed instructions, see the section “USING BULK DUMP SEND TO SAVE DATA” on page 99.)

    87 Initial Setup Send

    InitSend

    This function lets you transmit the initial setup settings of the PortaTone to a sequencer and record them as part of a song.

    This ensures that when you playback the song, the PortaTone is instantly and automatically reconfigured to the proper settings for the song. (For detailed instructions, see the section “USING INITIAL SETUP SEND WITH A SEQUENCER” on page 102.)

    Saving Bulk Data

    1 First, set up the connected MIDI device for recording the data.

    The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equipment and software. For example, if you are using the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer:

    1) Make the appropriate MIDI connections.

    Loading Bulk Data

    Once you’ve saved PortaTone data as described above, you can easily reload the data back to the PortaTone.

    1 Set up the connected MIDI device for sending the appropriate data.

    The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equipment and software. For example, if you are using the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer:

    1) Make the appropriate MIDI connections.

    PSR-225

    MIDI IN

    MIDI OUT

    MDF3

    2) Insert the appropriate floppy disk (containing the desired data) into the MIDI Data Filer.

    2 Make sure that the PortaTone is set to the Style mode.

    Make sure that the PortaTone is NOT set to the Song mode, and that it is not in the middle of an operation, such as song recording or playback, accompaniment playback, EZ Chord recording, Bulk Dump Send, etc.

    3 Start sending the data from the connected MIDI device.

    Send the data from the connected device. (Refer to the owner’s manual of the device for details.)

    The PortaTone automatically receives the data. As the data is being received, the PortaTone display indicates the various stages of data reception until the operation is complete:

    When the operation is completed, the following display briefly appears (before returning to the original operation).

    STYLE

    End

    FUNCTION

    USING INITIAL SETUP SEND WITH A SEQUENCER

    The most common use for the Initial Setup Send function is in recording a song on a sequencer that is intended for playback with the PortaTone. Essentially, this takes a “snapshot” of the PortaTone settings and sends that data to the sequencer. By recording this “snapshot” at the start of the song (before any actual performance data), you can instantly restore the necessary settings on the PortaTone. Provided there is a pause in the song, you could also do this in the middle of a song — for example, completely changing the PortaTone settings for the next section of the song.

    Sending Initial Setup Data

    1 First, set up the sequencer for recording.

    The actual procedure may differ depending on your particular equipment and software.

    Ideally, you should leave two or more measures of silence (no performance data) before the song begins. The Initial Setup data should then be recorded to this space in the song.

    2 On the PortaTone, select the Initial Setup Send function.

    Do this in the normal way:

    1)Press the FUNCTION button.

    2)Select parameter #87 (with the numeric keypad).

    4 Start recording on the sequencer, then send the Initial Setup data.

    Start recording on the sequencer in the normal way, then — with as little delay as possible — press the + button to actually start transmitting the data.

    An “End” message briefly appears in the display when the operation is complete, followed by the “InitSnd?” prompt.

    5 Stop recording on the sequencer.

    Stop recording on the sequencer in the normal way. Make sure that any subsequently recorded performance data is recorded at least one measure following the Initial Setup data.

    6 Exit from the Initial Setup Send operation.

    To exit from Initial Setup Send, press one of the other mode buttons: SONG, STYLE, or VOICE.

    VOICE LIST

    ■ Maximum Polyphony

    The PSR-225has32-notemaximum polyphony. This means that it can play a maximum of up to 32 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 Dual Voice, Split Voice, and Song functions.

    •The Voice List includes MIDI program change numbers for each voice. Use these program change numbers when playing the PSR-225via MIDI from an external device.

    •Some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the sustain pedal (footswitch) is held.

    DRUM KIT LIST

    •“<——”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 listed. For example, in “101: 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.)

    MIDI IMPLEMENTATION CHART

    NOTE:

    *1 By default (factory settings) the PSR-225ordinarily functions as a 16channelmulti-timbraltone generator, and incoming data does not affect the panel voices or panel settings. However, the MIDI messages listed below do affect the panel voices, auto accompaniment, and songs.

    •MIDI Master Tuning

    •System exclusive messages for changing the Reverb Type, Chorus Type, and DSP Type.

    The Remote Channel can be designated by using Function parameter #81. The messages received over the set channel are handled in the same way as key data received from the PSR-225itself. The following messages can be received over the designated channel set in this Function parameter; all other messages will be ignored.

    •Note ON

    •Note OFF

    •Control change : Bank select MSB, LSB (Main Voice Only), Modulation, Volume, Expression, Sustain, All sound off, All note off

    •Program Change (Main Voice Only)

    •Pitch Bend

    *2 Messages for these control change numbers cannot be transmitted from the PSR-225itself. However, they may be transmitted when playing the accompaniment or using the Harmony effect.

    *3 Exclusive

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

    •This message automatically restores all default settings for the instrument, with the exception of MIDI Master Tuning.

    <MIDI Master Volume> F0H, 7FH, 7FH, 04H, 01H, llH, mmH, F7H

    •This message allows the volume of all channels to be changed simultaneously (Universal System Exclusive).

    •The values of “mm” is used for MIDI Master Tuning. (Values for “ll” are ignored.)

    <MIDI Master Tuning> F0H, 43H, 1nH, 27H, 30H, 00H, 00H, mmH, llH, ccH, F7H

    •This message simultaneously changes the tuning value of all channels.

    •The values of “mm” and “ll” are used for MIDI Master Tuning.

    •The default value of “mm” and “ll” are 08H and 00H, respectively. Any values can be used for “n” and “cc.”

    <Bulk Dump>

    •This is used for saving (recording) User data (User songs, User One Touch Setting, and EZ Chord).

    <Internal Clock, External Clock> (Receive Only)

    F0H, 43H, 73H, 01H, 02H, F7H (Internal Clock)

    F0H, 43H, 73H, 01H, 03H, F7H (External Clock)

    • These messages control the clock setting for the accompaniment.

    <Reverb Type> F0H, 43H, 1nH, 4CH, 02H, 01H, 00H, mmH, llH, F7H

    •mm : Reverb Type MSB

    •ll : Reverb Type LSB

    <DRY Level> F0H, 43H, 1nH, 4CH, 08H, 0mH, 11H, llH, F7H

    •ll : Dry Level

    •0m : Channel Number

    *4 It is possible to switch between External and Internal Clock.

    *5 When the accompaniment is started, an FAH message is transmitted. When accompaniment is stopped, an FCH message is transmitted. When the clock is set to External, both FAH (accompaniment start) and FCH (accompaniment stop) are recognized.

    No MIDI messages can be received or transmitted in the Song mode.

    ■ Effect map

    *If the received value does not contain an effect type in the TYPE LSB, the LSB will be directed to TYPE 0.

    *Panel Effects are based on the “(Number) Effect Name”.

    *By using an external sequencer, which is capable of editing and transmitting the system exclusive messages and parameter changes, you can select the Reverb, Chorus and DSP effect types which are not accessible from the PSR-225panel itself. When one of the effects is selected by the external sequencer, “ - ” will be shown on the display.
