Taking Care of Your PortaTone Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the simple rules given below: ■ Location Do not expose the instrument to the following conditions to avoid deformation, discoloration, or more serious damage. ● Direct sunlight (e.g. near a window). ● High temperatures (e.g. near a heat source, outside, or in a car during the daytime). ● Excessive humidity. ● Excessive dust. ● Strong vibration.
Taking Care of Your PortaTone ● Internal memory data can be corrupted due to incorrect operation. Be sure to “save” important data to a floppy disk frequently so you have a backup to revert to if something happens to damage the data in memory. Also note that magnetic fields can damage data on the disk, so it is advisable to make a second back-up copy of disks that contain very important data, and keep backup disks in a safe place away from stray magnetic fields (i.e.

Plug the AC power cord into a convenient AC outlet, then press the [POWER] button to turn the PSR-7000 ON.
The Demonstration The Random & Single Demo Play Modes If you play the demo as described above, you’ll hear all 14 demo songs played in random order. By selecting an appropriate play mode you can also play back all the songs sequence, or play a single specified song. Z Select a Play Mode ....................................................................................................................................................................
The PSR-7000 Display & Display-based Controls The Display & Multi-function Controls The PSR-7000 makes general operation and programming easier than ever with a large backlit LCD display panel and multi-function controls. The 8 LCD selectors — four on either side of the display panel — and 8 LCD dials below the display perform the function indicated by the adjacent section of the display.
The PSR-7000 Display & Display-based Controls ■ The [LIST HOLD] Button ...................................................................................................................................................... When selecting voices (page 14) or accompaniment styles (page 26), or using the ONE TOUCH SETTING feature (page 35), the voice, style, or ONE TOUCH SETTING list will appear on the display, but will automatically disappear after a few seconds if no selections are made.
Playing the PSR-7000 ■ Before You Begin DEMO Before playing your PSR-7000 for the first time, it might be a good idea to re-initialize it to the original factory settings just in case these have been changed at some point before you receive the instrument. To do this, turn the [POWER] switch ON while holding the [DEMO] and [EXIT] buttons. POWER EXIT When the display shown to the right appears press the OK LCD button. • When the above initialization procedure is carried out, all internal data (e.g.
Playing the PSR-7000 Z Set Initial Volume Levels ..................................................................................................................................................... Set the [MASTER VOLUME] control to an appropriate level, and make sure that the LEFT, R1, R2, LEAD and ORGAN volume levels in the MIXER MAIN VOLUME display are set to their maximum “100” levels (use the corresponding LCD dials to set these volume levels if necessary).
Playing the PSR-7000 If you press the EASY SETTING LCD button before it disappears, the easy-setting display for that part will appear providing access to the split point parameters as well as the individual octave, pan, and tune parameters for that part. These same parameters can be accessed via the FUNCTION displays (page 106), but the easy-setting displays offer an easier, more efficient way to set these parameters when selecting parts.

Playing the PSR-7000 Using the Organ Flute Voices The PSR-7000 has 18 preset ORGAN FLUTE voices which can be selected in the same way as the RIGHT, LEAD and LEFT voices: press an ORGAN FLUTE voice group button — [COMBI 1-6], [COMBI 7-12], or [COMBI 13-18] — and then press the LCD button corresponding to the desired voice in the selected group. The main difference between the ORGAN FLUTE voices and others is that the ORGAN FLUTE voices can be directly edited via the voice list display.
Playing the PSR-7000 ■ VOLUME & ATTACK .................................................................................................................................................................. To access the VOLUME and ATTACK parameters for the ORGAN FLUTE voices, press the VOLUME/ATTACK LCD button from the FOOTAGE display. The VOLUME control adjusts the overall volume of the current ORGAN FLUTE voice. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume.
Playing the PSR-7000 The ROTARY SPEAKER controls set up the rotary speaker effect for the current ORGAN FLUTE voice. The TYPE control selected one of 5 different rotary speaker types. The SPEED control sets the speed of the rotary speaker effect when the FAST mode is selected: the greater the value the faster the speed. The RATE control sets the rate of variation between the FAST and SLOW modes: the greater the value the faster the rate of change when the FAST or SLOW rotary speaker mode is selected.
Playing the PSR-7000 Keyboard Percussion When one of the RIGHT ORCHESTRA [DRUM KIT] voices is selected, you can play 61 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. Some of the instruments in the different drum kit voices sound different even though they have the same name, while others are essentially the same.
Playing the PSR-7000 Changing the “L” Split Point The PSR-7000 has two programmable split points — one which divides the LEFT and RIGHT/LEAD/ORGAN FLUTE orchestra parts, and one which divides the auto-accompaniment and manual sections of the keyboard when AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment (page 31) is engaged.
Transposition, Tuning, & Octave Change The most important and fundamental adjustment for any musical instrument is tuning. The TRANSPOSE, TUNING, and OCTAVE CHANGE functions described below let you control the pitch of the PSR-7000 in a number of ways. TRANSPOSE & TUNE These functions allow the overall pitch of the PSR-7000 to be transposed up or down in semitone steps, and finetuned in 0.2 Hertz steps. Z Press the TRANSPOSE/TUNE LCD Button .................................................................
Transposition, Tuning, & Octave Change OCTAVE CHANGE This function allows the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT2, LEAD, and ORGAN FLUTE voices to be independently transposed up or down by one octave. The LEFT, R1, R2, LEAD, and ORGAN LCD buttons directly set the octave of the corresponding voice. Pressing one of these buttons changes the corresponding octave setting to “+1”, “–1”, and then “0”, in sequence.
Using the Accompaniment Section The PSR-7000 has 120 different preset accompaniment “styles” and up to 32 custom accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The PSR7000’s sophisticated Auto Bass Chord accompaniment system can provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment style. Z Turn ABC ON .................................................................................................................
Using the Accompaniment Section ● SINGLE FINGER (SF) Single-finger accompaniment makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the lefthand section of the keyboard. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used: C G F Cm C7 Cm 7 ■ For a major chord, press the root key only. ■ For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
Using the Accompaniment Section ● FULL KEYBOARD When this advanced auto-accompaniment mode is engaged the PSR-7000 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything, anywhere on the keyboard: chords, a bass line, arpeggiated chords, a melody line. The name of the detected chord will appear on the display. You don’t have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords.
Using the Accompaniment Section C Select a Style ................................................................................................................................................................................... ACCOMPANIMENT The PSR-7000 has 120 preset styles organized in 11 groups (see the “Style List” on page 130). Use the ACCOMPANIMENT group buttons to select the group from which you want to select a style. The corresponding style display will appear.
Using the Accompaniment Section B Start the Accompaniment .................................................................................................................................................. There are several ways to start the accompaniment: ● Straight start: Press the [START/STOP] button. If you press the [START/STOP] button, the rhythm will begin playing immediately without bass and chord accompaniment. INTRO/ FILL to FADE IN / OUT A ENDING/ rit.
Using the Accompaniment Section N Play On the ABC Section Of the Keyboard .....................................................................................................
Using the Accompaniment Section < Use Fill-ins .......................................................................................................................................................................................... The PSR-7000 provides two types of automatic breaks or “fill-ins.” ● FILL to A: Press the [INTRO A/FILL to A] button to produce a fill and go (or return) to the MAIN A section. INTRO/ FILL to FADE IN / OUT A ENDING/ rit.
Using the Accompaniment Section ■ Fade-ins and Fade-outs ....................................................................................................................................................... The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth fade-ins and fade-outs when starting and stopping the accompaniment. To produce a fade-in, press the [FADE IN/OUT] button so that its indicator lights before starting the accompaniment.
Using the Accompaniment Section Changing the “A” Split Point The “L” split point has already been described on page 16. The “A” split point divides the auto-accompaniment and manual sections of the keyboard when AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment (page 23) is engaged. Like the “L” split point, the “A” split point can be changed as required via the ABC EASY SETTING display, or the SPLIT POINT/ABC MODE/M. PAD function display (pages 110).
Using the Accompaniment Section The Chord Assist Function The Chord Assist function is essentially an electronic “chord book” that will show you appropriate fingerings for chords you enter via the display. The fingerings are indicated by dots on the graphic keyboard in the display, and correspond to those recognized in the ABC FINGERED 1 mode. You can also play chords on the keyboard in the same way as in the ABC FINGERED 1 mode. Z Select the Chord Assist Function .........................................
Using the Accompaniment Section V Hear the Chord ............................................................................................................................................................................... At this point you can “play” and hear the specified chord by pressing the ENTER LCD button — i.e. the specified chord accompaniment will sound and the chord will appear in notation form on the musical staff under “played CHORD” in the upper half of the display.
Using the Accompaniment Section The Arranger Buttons The ARRANGER buttons make it possible to individually mute accompaniment parts to create the blend and accompaniment “size” you want. When an ARRANGER button is pressed so that its indicator goes out, the corresponding accompaniment part(s) are muted. Muted parts can be turned back on by pressing the appropriate ARRANGER button so that its indicator lights.
One Touch Setting The PSR-7000’s 120 internal styles each have 4 different preset “panel setups” that can be selected via the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] buttons to create different musical textures — e.g. different voices for the accompaniment parts. Z Engage the One Touch Setting Feature ..............................................................................................................
One Touch Setting X Adjust The Settings If Necessary .............................................................................................................................. Any of the parameters set by the ONE TOUCH SETTING feature can be adjusted to create the desired sound after a ONE TOUCH SETTING setup has been selected.

Expression & Effects ■ Harmony ................................................................................................................................................................................................ Press the [HARMONY] button to turn the HARMONY effect on or off. When HARMONY is on (indicator lit), playing single notes or chords on the right-hand section of the keyboard produces automatic harmony matched to the accompaniment chords.
Expression & Effects ■ Touch Response .......................................................................................................................................................................... The touch response function turns the PSR-7000’s initial keyboard velocity and aftertouch response on or off. Normally, touch response should be turned on — the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button indicator should be lit — to allow normal dynamic control via the keyboard.
Expression & Effects ■ Chorus .................................................................................................................................................................................................... Press the [CHORUS] button to apply the chorus effect at a depth specified by the CHORUS DEPTH function described on page 120. The [CHORUS] button alternately turns the chorus effect on (indicator lit) or off (indicator out).
Expression & Effects ■ Pitch Bend Wheel ........................................................................................................................................................................ The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard lets you bend the pitch of notes played on the keyboard up or down. Normal pitch is restored when the PITCH BEND wheel is released.
Expression & Effects ■ Digital Equalizer ........................................................................................................................................................................... The PSR-7000 features a digital 5-band equalizer that can be used to “shape” the overall frequency characteristics of the instrument to create a wide range of tonal variations. Press the [DIGITAL EQUALIZER] button to access the equalizer controls.
The Multi Pads The PSR-7000 features 8 “MULTI PADs” above the keyboard that can be used in two ways: ● PHRASE/CHORD: When the PHRASE/CHORD mode is selected, the 4 pads marked “PHRASE” and the 4 pads marked “CHORD” can be used to record and play back short sequences of notes and chords, respectively. ● PERCUSSION: In the PERCUSSION mode the pads can be used to play 8 different drum and percussion instruments selected from the PSR-7000’s DRUM KIT voices and Custom Voice DRUM KIT voice.
The Multi Pads ■ Recording Phrases .................................................................................................................................................................... Z Select a PHRASE Pad For Recording PERCUSSION REC/STOP Press the PHRASE pad you intend to record to while holding the [REC/STOP] button. The REC/ STOP indicator will flash, indicating that the selected pad is ready to record.
