The default Auto Accompaniment split point (55) can be instantly recalled by pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.
Auto Accompaniment ● Mode 1: Chord 1 The Chord 1 mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.
● Mode 2: Chord 2 PSR-1700 Fingrng=2 – :Chord2 PSR-2700 This is essentially the same as the Chord 1 mode, above, except that the lowest note played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard will be played by the bass part rather than the chord root.
Auto Accompaniment ● Mode 5: Full PSR-1700 Fingrng=5 –:Full PSR-2700 08:Showtune 001:GrandPno C Fingrng=5 – :Full In this mode chords played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and used for Auto Accompaniment. Otherwise the keyboard functions normally, and the entire range is available for playing. Chord recognition is the same as in the Chord 1 mode. Please note that in this mode all notes you play on the keyboard at any one time will be interpreted as the Auto Accompaniment chord.
■ Accompaniment Control The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, break, variations on the main pattern, ending — that you can select to control the “flow” of the accompaniment to achieve the desired musical results. Accompaniment start/stop and sections are controlled by the ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL buttons. ● Straight Start .....................................................................................................................................
Auto Accompaniment ● Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction ............................................................................. Any of the accompaniment styles can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO] button and then the [START/STOP] button. If you press the [SYNC-START/STOP] button and then the [INTRO] button, the accompaniment will start from the introduction as soon as a chord is detected in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.
FILL IN 1 FILL IN 2 If the MAIN A section is playing, for example, the [A] indicator will flash while FILL IN 1 or the BREAK plays, and the [B] indicator will flash while FILL IN 2 plays. You can change the section that will begin playing after the selected fill-in or break by pressing the desired section button while the indicator is still flashing.
Auto Accompaniment ● Fade In & Fade Out ................................................................................................................................. The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth accompaniment and melody fade-ins or fadeouts. FADE IN / OUT FADE IN/OUT FADE IN/OUT Fade-out to stop the accompaniment during Playback Press the [FADE-IN/OUT] button during accompaniment playback to fade out the accompaniment and melody sound.
■ The Track Buttons RHYTHM 1 2 BASS RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 2 PAD CHORD PHRASE 1 2 TRACK The Auto Accompaniment system includes eight TRACK buttons which allow you to control the accompaniment arrangement in real time.

ZInsert the Disk ..............................................................................................................................
PSR-2700 Digital Sampling The PSR-2700 features a built-in digital voice sampling system that lets you digitally record any sounds from a microphone or line-level source and play those sounds via the four SAMPLE PADS and/or the keyboard. The Digital Sampling system can record a maximum of 6 seconds of sound per sample pad, up to a total of 60 seconds. A sampled “voice” is a complete set of data for the four SAMPLE PADS.
PSR-2700 Digital Sampling XPlay the Source and Adjust the Level .................................................................................................. Play the sound you intend to record, via microphone or line, and adjust the INPUT LEVEL control while watching the level indicators above the control. The length of the “bar” formed by the level indicators increases as input level increases. For optimum sound quality, your input signal should cause most of the indicators to light, but not all.
■ Setting the Trigger Level There are two ways to start sample recording: manual and triggered. With manual recording recording starts the moment you press the [REC] and pad buttons, as described in the “Recording” section, below. With triggered recording you initially engage the record standby mode and recording actually begins as soon as the PSR2700 detects an input signal that is higher than the selected trigger level.
PSR-2700 Digital Sampling ■ Recording Each sampled “voice” recorded by the PSR-2700 can contain four separate samples, one in each SAMPLE PAD. You can play the individual samples included in the selected sample voice by playing the appropriate pad, or by playing on the keyboard when the VOICE section SAMPLED VOICE indicator is lit. When you play a sampled voice via the keyboard, the four separate samples it contains are assigned to different ranges of the keyboard.
VRepeat as Necessary ............................................................................................................................. Repeat the above procedure to record the remaining SAMPLE PADS, as required. NOTES • The PSR-2700 has 1,020 kilobytes (1.02 megabytes) of waveform RAM memory for sampled voice storage.
PSR-2700 Digital Sampling ■ Editing Samples The following functions provide a range of useful sample editing capabilities. NOTES ● Clearing Samples • If the sample data cannot be edited the following messages will appear on the LCD display: “No Wave Data” if there is no data in the pad; “Protected Voice” is the data is protected and cannot be edited by the PSR-2700.
● Volume, DSP Depth, & Pan Settings The VOICE section [VOL], [DSP DEPTH], and [PAN] buttons can be used to set the overall volume, DSP depth, and pan position of all four SAMPLE PADS. ZHold [EDIT] and Press [VOICE #] .......................................................................................................... ORCHESTRATION VOICE # L1 R1 EDIT L2 R2 While holding the ORCHESTRATION [EDIT] button press the DIGITAL SAMPLING section [VOICE #] button.
PSR-2700 Digital Sampling ■ Playing Samples via the Keyboard To play your samples via the PSR-2700 keyboard, press the VOICE section [SAMPLED VOICE] button so that its indicator lights.
XSelect a New Key .................................................................................................................................... Press the key to which the original voice of the sample is to be mapped. The note number of the selected key will appear on the LCD display panel. The key can also be selected by using the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, or the data dial to select the appropriate note number on the display (the note numbers, 36 through 96, are listed above the keys).
Pedal Assign Optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitches and/or or FC7 foot controllers can be plugged into either or both of the rear-panel PEDAL jacks and used to control a wide range of functions. 1 PEDAL 2 1 2 PEDAL ASSIGN The functions listed below can be assigned to the footswitch or foot controller connected to the PEDAL 1 and PEDAL 2 jacks by pressing the appropriate function button while holding the PEDAL ASSIGN [1] or [2] button.
MIDI MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. MIDI RECEIVE TRANSMIT CH/CL/COM CH L R MODE ................
MIDI MIDI Reception Modes The [RECEIVE CH/CL/COM] button is used to specify the reception mode for each of the 16 MIDI channels, the internal or external clock mode, and MIDI start/stop command reception mode. ■ Channel Reception Modes The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 allow any of five reception modes to be individually assigned to MIDI channels 1 through 16. The five modes are: Mode “0” RX OFF: Reception disabled. Mode “1” MULTI: Received MIDI note data directly controls the PSR-1700/PSR-2700 tone generator.
■ Clock Mode Reception of an external MIDI clock signal can be enabled or disabled as required. When disabled, all of the time-based functions (Auto Accompaniment, SONG MEMORY, etc.) are controlled by the PSR-1700/PSR2700’s own internal clock, the speed of which is set by the [TEMPO] button. When MIDI clock reception is enabled, however, all timing is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN terminal (the [TEMPO] setting has no effect).
MIDI MIDI Transmission The PSR-1700/PSR-2700 allows independent MIDI transmit channels to be assigned to the L and R ORCHESTRATION voices. It is also possible to independently turn local control and MIDI output on or off for the L and R voices.
Appendix ■ Voice & Polyphony List The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 can play up to 28 individual notes at the same time (i.e. it has a maximum “polyphony” of 28). This number includes all voices used: dual, split, auto accompaniment, song memory, and multi pads. If the maximum polyphony is exceeded excess notes will be truncated (they will not sound). Another feature affecting polyphony is the fact that some voices actually use two voices at once, as shown in the voice list below.
