fers depending on the selected Voice.
• The DSP type is an overall setting—only one type can be selected.
For this reason, when you play a newly loaded Song or Style, for
example, the currently playing Voices may not sound as expected.
This is normal, since the Song or Style has its own DSP type which
replaces any selection you’ve made before loading. A similar phe-
nomenon occurs when you use the [f], [r] buttons or A-B

Pitch Bend
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. If you use this feature with a Voice
such as the “042 Overdrive” guitar Voice (page 17), you can produce remarkably realistic string-bending
effects.
You can change the amount of pitch bend produced by the wheel, as described on page 81.
NOTE
• Pitch Bend is not applied to the Left Voice when accompaniment is
turned on.

Style (Auto Accompaniment) Functions
Basic operation of the Style (Auto Accompaniment) feature is described on page 22 of
the Quick Guide.
Included here is information on how you can play the Styles in various ways, how to
adjust the Style volume, how you can play chords using the Styles, and more.
Pattern Variation (sections)

The instrument features a wide variety of Style “sections” that allow you to vary the arrangement of the
accompaniment to match the Song you are playing.
Fill-in Intro Main variation Ending
●INTRO section
This is used for the beginning of the Song. When the intro finishes playing, accompani-
ment shifts to the main section. The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on
the selected Style.
●MAIN VARIATION 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 four variations
on the basic pattern (A–D), and the Style playback sound changes harmonically based on
the chords you play with your left hand.
●ENDING section
This is used for the ending of the Song. When the ending is finished, the Auto Accompani-
ment stops automatically. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending on the
selected Style.
●AUTO Fill-in section
This is automatically added before the current section changes to a newly selected section.

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

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

User Style
This instrument features 11 internal Style categories, but it also allows you to import additional Styles
(only those with an “.sty” extension) that you’ve downloaded from the Internet or gotten from other
sources, and load them into a User Style and use them in the same way as the internal Styles.
For details on loading a Style file, see “Loading Registration Files, Style Files, Song Files or MDB Files ”
on page 87.
In order to load a Style file it is necessary to first either transfer the Style file to the instrument from a com-
puter, or connect a USB flash memory containing the Style file to the USB TO DEVICE connector. Refer to
“Transferring Data Between the Computer and Instrument” on page 96 for details on the file transfer proce-
dure.
If you are using a USB flash memory device, refer to “Loading Registration Files, Style Files, Song Files or
MDB Files” on page 87.
You can directly play the User Style in the USB memory without loading (page 89).
Playing Styles Using the Entire Keyboard

In “Playing Along with a Style” on page 23 we described two methods of playing Styles (Multi, Full Key-
board) in which chords were either detected only to the left of the keyboard Split Point or over the entire
keyboard. By making the settings described below, chord detection for Style accompaniment occurs over
the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even more dynamic Style performance. In this mode only
chords played in the normal way (page 25) can be detected.

Using USB Flash Memory
USB flash memory is a memory medium used for storing data. When a USB flash mem-
ory device is inserted in this instrument’s USB TO DEVICE terminal, user Songs and
user Styles created on the instrument and the registered settings can be saved to or
loaded from the device. USB flash memory can also be used to transfer Song, Style
MDB data downloaded from the Internet to the instrument. Furthermore, user Songs
saved to USB flash memory in MIDI file format can also be used with these features.
In this section we’ll look at the procedures for setting up and formatting USB flash
memory devices, as well as for saving and loading data to and from them.
If you don’t have a USB flash memory device, you will need to purchase one (or more, as
needed).
The instrument does not necessarily support all commercially available USB storage
devices. Yamaha cannot guarantee operation of USB storage devices that you purchase.
Before purchasing a USB storage device, please consult your Yamaha dealer, or an autho-
rized Yamaha distributor (see list at end of the Owner’s Manual) for advice.
Before using a USB device, read through the “Precautions when using the [USB TO DEVICE] terminal”
section on page 93. For information about USB devices compatible with the instrument, see “Connection to
a USB Storage Device” on page 90.

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

Voice Effect Type List
● Harmony Types
No. Harmony Type Description
1 01(Standard Duet) Harmony types 01–14 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the sin-
gle-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the auto
2 02(Standard Trio) accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing
3 03(Full Chord) songs that contain chord data.
4 04(Rock Duet)
5 05(Country Duet)
6 06(Country Trio)
7 07(Block)
8 08(4-Way Close 1)

10 10(4-Way Open)
11 11(1+5)
12 12(Octave)
13 13(Strum)
14 14(Multi Assign)
15 15(Echo 1/4) Types 15–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in time with
the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompaniment is on or not;
16 16(Echo 1/6) however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo setting (page 72). The individual
17 17(Echo 1/8) note values in each type let you synchronize the effect precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings
are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets, 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note
18 18(Echo 1/12) triplets.
• The Echo effect Types (15–18) create delayed repeats of each note played.
19 19(Tremolo 1/8)
• The Tremolo effect Types (19–22) repeat all held notes (up to four).
20 20(Tremolo 1/12) • The Trill effect Types (23–26) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two notes are held.
21 21(Tremolo 1/16)
