GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which ensures that any GM-compat-
ible music data can be accurately played by any GM-compatible tone generator, regardless of
manufacturer. The GM mark is affixed to all software and hardware products that support GM
System Level.
XGlite
As its name implies, “XGlite” is a simplified version of Yamaha’s high-quality XG tone gener-
ation format. Naturally, you can play back any XG song data using an XGlite tone generator.
However, keep in mind that some songs may play back differently compared to the original
data, due to the reduced set of control parameters and effects.

sampling technology and using Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave memory) tone
generation system.

Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will 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.
■ Using an AC Power Adaptor
q Make sure that the power of the instrument is off
(the backlit display is off).
WARNING
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B or PA-3C AC Power Adap-
tor (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 instrument.
w Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3B, PA-3C or other

adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to
the power supply jack.
e Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the
instrument, or during electrical storms. For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V
“AA” size, LR6 or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline batter-
ies are recommended.) When battery power becomes
w too low for proper operation, the volume may be
reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other prob-
lems may occur. When this happens, make sure to
replace all batteries, following the precautions listed
below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User
data (see page 33), since custom panel settings are
e lost when the batteries are removed.

Bend Wheel
Adding pitch variations with the Pitch Bend Wheel
The [PITCH BEND] wheel can be used to add smooth pitch variations to notes you play on the
keyboard.
Roll the wheel upward to raise the pitch, or downward to lower the pitch. When you release the
wheel it will automatically return to center position and the keyboard pitch will return to normal.
Adjust the pitch bend range

The range of the pitch bend wheel can be adjusted in semitone increments. When the pitch bend
range is set to “2,” for example, rolling the wheel all the way up will produce a maximum pitch rise
of 2 semitones (one whole tone), and rolling it all the way down will produce a maximum pitch drop
of the same amount (2 semitones or one whole tone). With the highest possible pitch bend range
setting of “12,” the pitch bend range becomes +/-1 octave.

The instrument features a wide variety of Style “sections” (patterns) that allow you to
vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the Song you are playing.
Intro Main A/B

This is used for the beginning of the Song
When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section.
The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.
● MAIN section
This is used for playing the main part of the Song. It plays a main accompaniment pattern, and repeats
indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed. There are two variations on the basic pattern (A and
B), and the Style playback sound changes harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand.
● Fill-in section
This is automatically added before changing the section A and B.
● ENDING section
This is used for the ending of the Song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops
automatically. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.

Looking up Chords Using the Chord Dictionary

The Dictionary function is essentially a built-in “chord dictionary” that

■ About chords
Playing two or more notes together simultaneously creates a “chord.”
Playing a note together with two other notes spaced three notes (steps) apart—such as the
notes C, E and G—creates a harmonious sound. Chords like these are called “triads” and
they play an important role in most music. 3rd 3rd
Root
Taking the chord above as an example, the lowest note of this triad is called the “root note.” This is the central note
sound, and it supports or anchors the rest of the notes chord.
You’ll notice that the middle note of the chord above (E) is the third step in the succession of scale notes—C, D, then E.
There are two types of “thirds” in chords: major thirds and minor thirds.
Major third—four half steps from the root Minor third—three half steps from the root
We’ll also alter the top note of our original chord and make three additional chords, as shown below. (The captions indi-
cate the intervals between each of the notes.)
◆ Major chord ◆ Minor chord ◆ Augmented chord ◆ Diminished chord

CM Cm C aug C dim
Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd
The basic characteristics of the chord sound are same, no matter if we change the order of the notes from bottom to top,
or if we add other same name notes in different octaves. Beautiful sounding harmonies can be built in this manner, and
emotional music can be created by playing different chords one after the other according to commonly accepted rules.
Harmony determines the nature of chords, and music is created based on harmony.
● Chord names
From the chord name, you can tell at a glance what type of chord it is and which notes
make up the chord. Understanding the basic structure of chords is very useful—once
you’re familiar with this, you’ll be quickly and easily play chords by looking at the

About MIDI
The instrument features a MIDI terminals that can be connected to other MIDI instru-
ments and devices for expanded musical functionality.
What is MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard interface
for communication between electronic musical instruments and music
devices. When MIDI-equipped instruments are connected via a MIDI
cable, it becomes possible to transfer performance and setting data between
them for significantly enhanced performance and production potential.
CAUTION
• Connect the PSR-A300 to external equipment only after turning off power for
all devices. Then, turn on the power, first to the PSR-A300, then to the con-
nected external equipment.
What You Can Do With MIDI

• Transferring performance and setting data between the PSR-A300 and
MIDI-equipped instruments or computers. (page 63)
• Transferring the Song or Style data between the PSR-A300 and comput-
ers. (page 65)

Transferring data between the PSR-A300 and a computer

The PSR-A300 includes 35 preset Songs and 135 Styles, but you can load
other Songs and Styles from your computer and use them in the same way
as the preset Songs as long as the loaded Song is SMF format 0* or SFF
(Style File Format).
Loaded Song data will be stored in Song numbers beginning with 041 and
one of the loaded style/s can be registered as the 136th style.
In order to perform the operations described in this section you will need to
use a computer connected to the Internet to download the free Musicsoft
Downloader application from the URL listed below.
* The SMF (Standard MIDI File) format is one of the most common and widely compatible
sequence formats used for storing sequence data. Most commercially available MIDI
sequence data is provided in SMF Format 0.
