Disk Operations Using the Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) and Floppy Disks Be sure to handle floppy disks and treat the disk drive with care. Follow the important precautions below. ■ Compatible Disk Type 3.5" 2DD and 2HD type floppy disks can be used. ■ Inserting/Ejecting Floppy Disks ● To insert a floppy disk into the disk drive: • Hold the disk so that the label of the disk is facing upward and the sliding shutter is facing forward, towards the disk slot.
Disk Operations Sample Disk Disk song playback 1 Insert the sample disk into the disk drive. 2 Select the desired song. 3 • If a disk has already been inserted into the drive, press the [SONG] button to call up the Song display. Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button, the [-/NO] button or the number buttons [1]-[0]. Press the [START/STOP] button to start the song.
Disk Operations Format Setting up commercially available floppy disks for use with PSR-740/640 is called formatting. This function is useful for quickly deleting unnecessary files from an already formatted disk. Be careful when using this operation, since it automatically deletes all data on the disk. 1 Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive. 2 Press the [UTILITY] button. When a (new) blank disk or an incompatible disk is inserted an alert message will be displayed on the screen.
Disk Operations 3 Select the file type. Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Refer to the file type list below: All Style + Reg. Style Multi Pad Regist 4 5 6 7 8 9 Save all User Style (161-163), User Pad (bank 37-40), and Registration Memory (bank 01-32) and all setup data into one single file. Save all User Style (161-163) and Registration Memory (bank 01-32) data gathered together into one single file. Save all User Style (161-163) data gathered together into one single file.
Disk Operations Load After saving User style (161-163), User pad (banks 37-40), and Registration Memory (bank 01-32) data to a floppy disk, you can reload them into the PSR-740/640. 1 Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive. 2 Press the [LOAD] button. D IS K LOAD SAVE UTILITY DISK IN USE 3 4 5 Select the file to be loaded. Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Press the [NEXT] button to display the DATA TYPE selection screen.

Disk Operations Song Copy This operation allows you to make backup copies of your important data. Primarily, this will come in handy when you are recording and editing song data. For example, if you are quantizing the track of a song (page 100) — which makes permanent changes to the track — making a backup copy of the song allows you to restore the original song data in case you’re not satisfied with the results of the quantization. Having a dedicated backup disk for every song you work on is a good idea.

MIDI Functions In the rear panel of your PSR-740/640, there are MIDI terminals (MIDI IN, MIDI OUT), a TO HOST terminal, and a HOST SELECT switch. By using the MIDI functions you can expand your musical possibilities. This section explains what MIDI is, and what it can do, as well as how you can use MIDI on your PSR-740/640. ● If you don’t know what MIDI is, make sure to read these sections: • What’s MIDI? .........................................................................................
MIDI Functions MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various other types of MIDI data, or messages. The PSR-740/640 can control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and various types of controller data.
MIDI Functions The PSR-740/640 is an electronic musical instrument which is capable of transmitting and receiving over sixteen channels. Imagine that there are sixteen separate pipes in the connected MIDI cable. When transmitting MIDI data from the PSR-740/640 to an external device, MIDI data is sent through the assigned pipe (or MIDI channel) and transmitted to the external device. For example, several tracks can be transmitted simultaneously, including the auto accompaniment data (as shown below).
MIDI Functions MIDI Data Compatibility This section covers basic information on data compatibility: whether or not other MIDI devices can playback the data recorded by PSR-740/640, and whether or not the PSR-740/640 can playback commercially available song data or song data created for other instruments or on a computer.
MIDI Functions Connecting to a Personal Computer You can enjoy using personal computer music software when you connect your PSR740/640’s TO HOST terminal or MIDI terminals to a personal computer. There are two ways to connect. • Connect using the PSR-740/640 MIDI terminals • Connect using the TO HOST terminal Connect using the PSR-740/640 MIDI terminals Using a MIDI interface device installed in the personal computer, connect the MIDI terminals of the personal computer and the PSR-740/640.
MIDI Functions Connect using the TO HOST terminal Connect the serial port of the personal computer (RS-232C terminal or RS-422 terminal) to the TO HOST terminal of the PSR-740/640. For the connection cable, use the cable below (sold separately) that matches the personal computer type. ● IBM-PC/AT Series Connect the RS-232C terminal on the computer to the TO HOST terminal on the PSR-740/640 using a serial cable (D-SUB 9P → MINI DIN 8P cross cable).
MIDI Functions MIDI Template The PSR-740/640 is capable of transmitting and receiving MIDI data over sixteen independent channels. For proper MIDI operation, it is necessary to determine which data is set to which channel. The MIDI Template function allows you to instantly configure all appropriate transmit/ receive settings with a single button press. 1 Press the [FUNCTION] button. 2 Select “MIDI.” 3 Press the [NEXT] button to display the MIDI screen. 4 Select “MIDI Template.

Select “MIDI.” Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Press the [NEXT] button to display the MIDI screen. Select “Transmit Channel.” Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button.
MIDI Functions MIDI Receive Setting The PSR-740/640 can simultaneously receive data on all 16 MIDI channels, allowing it to function as a 16-channel multi-timbral tone generator. The Receive Channel and Receive Mode functions determine how each channel will respond to received MIDI data. 1 2 3 4 5 6 Press the [FUNCTION] button. Select “MIDI.” Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button. Press the [NEXT] button to display the MIDI screen. Select “Receive Channel.
MIDI Functions Local Control “Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the PSR-740/640 keyboard controls the internal tone generator, allowing the internal voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation is “Local Control on” since the internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own keyboard.
MIDI Functions 3 4 5 6 Press the [NEXT] button to display the MIDI screen. Select “Clock.” Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button.

Cannot enter the functions during Pad recording. This message appears when you attempt to edit, quantize or clear the track which contains no data in the Record mode.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION • The speakers produce a “pop” sound whenever the power is turned ON or OFF. This is normal and is no cause for alarm. • When using a mobile phone, noise is produced. Using a mobile phone in close proximity to the PortaTone may produce interference. To prevent this, turn off the mobile phone or use it further away from the PortaTone. • No sound results when the keyboard is played. • The R1/R2/L voice volume (Mixer) settings could be set too low.
MIDI Data Format Many MIDI messages listed in the MIDI Data Format are expressed in decimal numbers, binary numbers and hexadecimal numbers.
