What is MIDI? Recording and play back the performance of a digital instrument (MIDI data) Recording Playback Tone Generator Sequencer Controller (keyboard, etc.) SmartMedia card SmartMedia card Finally, we’ll take a look at the actual data that gets recorded and that serves as the basis for playing the sounds. For example, let’s say you play a “C” quarter note using the grand piano sound on the PSR-3000/ 1500 keyboard.
What is MIDI? Message Name PSR-3000/1500 Operation/Panel Setting Note ON/OFF Messages which are generated when the keyboard is played. Each message includes a specific note number which corresponds to the key which is pressed, plus a velocity value based on how hard the key is played.

Appendix Troubleshooting Overall The PSR-3000/1500 does not turn on. • Securely insert the female plug into the socket on the PSR-3000/1500, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet. A click or pop is heard when the power is turned on or off. • Electrical current is being applied to the instrument. This is normal. Noise is heard from the PSR-3000/1500's speakers. • Noise may be heard if a mobile phone is used near the PSR-3000/1500 or if the phone is ringing.
Voice The Voice selected from the Voice Selection display does not sound. • Check whether or not the selected part is turned on (page 77). • To select the Voice for the right-hand key range, press the PART SELECT [RIGHT 1] button. For the Voice to be layered in the right-hand range, press the PART SELECT [RIGHT 2] button. To select the Voice for the left-hand key range, press the PART SELECT [LEFT] button. The sound seems strange or different than expected when changing a rhythm Voice (drum kit, etc.
When playing back one Style and selecting another, the newly selected Style doesn’t play at the proper Tempo. • This is normal; the Tempo setting remains constant when changing Styles. Starting a Song while playing back a Style stops Style playback. This is because Song playback has priority. The two ways shown below let you play back a Style and Song simultaneously. • Set the Song to Synchro Start standby, then start the Style. • Start the Style playback after playing back a Song.
The Song last selected before turning off the power is no longer available. • If the Song last selected before turning off the power is contained in external media such as a SmartMedia card, you’ll need to reinsert/reconnect the same media to call up the Song again. The measure number is different from that of the score in the Song Position display, shown by pressing the [REW]/[FF] buttons. • This happens when playing back music data for which a specific, fixed tempo is set.
Performance assistant technology Performance assistant technology does not work appropriately. • Press the SONG [STOP] button to stop Song playback, then set the [ACMP ON/OFF] and PART ON/OFF [LEFT] to off. Finally, restart the Song. Video out (PSR-3000) The PSR-3000 display contents cannot be sent via video out and do not show on an external monitor. • Make sure that the NTSC or PAL setting corresponds to the standard of your particular video equipment (page 190).
