PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
•Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into any openings.
•If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
•Use the specified adaptor (PA-6 or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument or overheating.
•Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
•Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
•When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always hold the plug itself and not the cord.
•Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connec- tor. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.
•Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during electrical storms.
•Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level.
•Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal components.
•Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.
•Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.
•Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
•When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
•Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.
•Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
•Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
■SAVING USER DATA
•Always save data to a floppy disk frequently, in order to help prevent the loss of important data due to a malfunction or user operating error.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Panel logos
The logos printed on the PSR-740/640 panel indicate standards/formats it supports and special features it includes.
GM System Level 1
“GM System Level 1” is an addition to the MIDI standard which guarantees that any data conforming to the standard will play accurately on any GM-compatible tone generator or synthesizer from any manufacturer.
XG
XG is a new Yamaha MIDI specification which significantly expands and improves on the GM System Level 1 standard with greater voice handling capacity, expressive control, and effect capability while retaining full compatibility with GM. By using the PSR-740/640’s XG voices, it is possible to record XG-compatible song files.
XF
The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended expandability for the future. The PSR-740/640 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.
Vocal Harmony
Vocal Harmony employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing technology to automatically add appropriate vocal harmony to a lead vocal line sung by the user. Vocal Harmony can even change the character and gender of the lead voice as well as the added voices to produce a wide range of vocal harmony effects.
DOC
The DOC voice allocation format provides data playback compatibility with a wide range of Yamaha instruments and MIDI devices, including the Clavinova series.
Style File Format
The Style File Format — SFF — is Yamaha’s original style file format which uses a unique conversion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. The PSR-740/640 uses the SFF internally, reads optional SFF style disks, and creates SFF styles using the Style Recording feature.

Setting Up
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-740/640 and preparing to play. Be sure to go through this section carefully before turning the power on.
Power supply connections
1 Make sure that the STANDBY/ON switch of the PSR-740/640 is set to STANDBY.
2 Connect the optional AC adaptor (PA-6 or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power supply jack.
3 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
When turning the power OFF, simply reverse the procedure.
Connecting a footswitch
■ FOOT SWITCH jack
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug an optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. The footswitch connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of some panel buttons, doing things like starting and stopping accompaniment (page 137).
CAUTION
• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. unplug the AC adaptor) during any PSR740/640 record operation! Doing so can result in a loss of data.
WARNING
•Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-6 AC Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically recommended by Yamaha) to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the PSR-740/ 640.
•Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-740/640, or during electrical storms.
•Recorded data is retained in memory even when the STANDBY switch is turned off if an AC adaptor is connected. For details, see page 159.
•Be sure that you do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. If you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
•When the sustain or sostenuto pedal functions are being used (page 137), some voices may sound continuously or have a long decay after the notes have been released while the pedal is held.
■ FOOT VOLUME jack
Connecting an optional Yamaha FC7 foot controller lets you use your foot to change the volume as you play the PSR-740/640 (expression function). The foot controller connected to this jack can also be set to replicate the functions of the main volume controls, such as accompaniment or song volume (page 138).
12
10
Setting Up
Audio equipment connections
■ AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks
The rear-panel AUX OUT R and L/L+R jacks deliver the output of the PSR-740/640 for connection to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, a mixing console, or tape recorder. If you will be connecting the PSR-740/640 to a monaural sound system, use only the L/L+R jack. When a plug is inserted into the L/L+R jack only, the leftand right-channel signals are combined and delivered via the L/L+R jack so you don’t lose any of the PSR-740/640 sound (use phone plugs).
CAUTION
• Connect the PSR-740/640 to external equipment only after turning off power for all devices. To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage.
Stereo System
■ PHONES jack
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged in here for private practice or late-night playing. The internal stereo speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of head phones is plugged into the PHONES jack.
Do not listen with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time. Doing so may cause hearing loss.
Connecting a microphone (PSR-740)
■ MIC/LINE IN jack
The PSR-740 includes a microphone/line input jack into which just about any standard microphone or line-level source with a 1/4″ phone plug can be plugged (a dynamic microphone with an impedance of 250 ohms is recommended). The microphone or line input can be used with the PSR-740’s vocal harmony function (pages 82). The panel MIC/LINE switch should be set according to the type of source used and the INPUT VOLUME control can be used to adjust the level of the microphone or line input signal. The SIGNAL and OVER indicators on the panel aid in setting the ideal input level: the green SIGNAL indicator should light when an input signal is present, but if the red OVER indicator lights the level should be reduced by using the INPUT VOLUME control, and if this is not sufficient, by reducing the level of the source signal itself.
•The Yamaha MZ106s microphone is recommended for use with the PSR-740.
•The level of the microphone sound may vary considerably according to the type of microphone used.
•Turn the INPUT VOLUME control all the way down when connecting or disconnecting a microphone.
•Placing a microphone which is connected to the PSR-740 too close to the PSR-740 speakers (or those of an external sound system connected to the
PSR-740) can cause feedback. Adjust the microphone position and the INPUT VOLUME level or MASTER VOLUME control level if necessary, so that feedback does not occur.

CAUTION
• Even when the switch is in the “STANDBY” position, electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the PSR-740/ 640 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
Press the [DEMO/LANGUAGE] button.
Select a demo song.
Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button, the [-/NO] button or the number buttons [1]—[0] to scroll to the desired demo song.

Basic Operation
Menu Selection
For certain operations on the PSR-740/640 (such as selecting voices, demo songs and styles), you’ll need to select different menus in the display.
For example, the display below (for selecting the function) appears when you press the
[FUNCTION] button.
In this case you can select the desired function by turning the data dial or move the cursor by pressing the [+/YES]/[-/NO] buttons.

17
Basic Operation
Changing (Editing) Values
This section shows you how to set numeric values on the PSR-740/640, such as voice number, song/style number and various parameters. Input the values by using the number buttons [1]—[0] or the [+/YES]/[-/NO] buttons.
Rotating the data dial to the right (clockwise) increases the value, while rotating it to the left (counter-clock- wise) decreases it.
Number buttons [1]-[0] described below.
Pressing the [+/YES] button increases the displayed value by 1. Pressing the [-/NO] button decreases the displayed value by 1. Pressing and holding either button causes a continuous increase and decrease.
For items that have initial default values, pressing the
[+/YES] and the [-/NO] buttons together at the same time will return the setting to the initial value.
Numeric entry
The explanations here apply only to numbers that have a maximum of three digits, such as those for voices and styles.
• Entering oneor two-digit numbers
Oneor two-digit voice numbers can be entered with leading zeroes: e.g. “12” can be entered as “012” by pressing the [0], [1] and [2] buttons in sequence.
• Entering three-digit numbers
The number buttons can be used to directly enter the number of the desired voice, thereby immediately selecting that voice without having to step through a number of other voices. To select voice number 106, for example, press the [1], [0] and [6] number buttons in sequence.
•Oneor two-digit numbers can also be entered without leading zeroes.
To select number “12,” for example, simply press the [1] button and then the [2] button. The bars below the number on the display will flash for a few seconds, and then disappear when the selected number has been recognized by the PSR-740/ 640.
•On some occasions, “- — -” may appear in the parameter value part of the display. This indicates that the parameter is unavailable or cannot be changed (due to the current panel settings).

Pitch Bend Wheel
Use the PSR-740/640 pitch bend wheel to bend notes up (roll the wheel away from you) or down (roll the wheel toward you) while playing the keyboard. The pitch bend wheel is self-centering and will automatically return to normal pitch when released.
•The maximum pitch bend range can be set via the Pitch Bend Range function in the Utility function group (page 139).
Wheel (PSR-740)
The Modulation function applies a vibrato effect to notes played on the keyboard (R1, R2, L voices). Moving the MODULATION wheel all the way towards yourself minimizes the depth of the effect, while rotating it away from yourself increases it.
•In order to avoid accidentally applying modulation when you don’t intend to, set the depth at its minimum setting.
•You can also assign other functions to the MODULATION Wheel (page 139).

Organ Flutes (PSR-740)
The Organ Flutes function lets you create your own original organ voices, just as on a traditional organ, by increasing and decreasing the flute footages, and adding percussive sounds.
Your original organ voice is stored to voice number 761 (Organ Flutes) for selecting and playing.
■ Parameters
●Organ Type
This determines the type of organ sound or tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage. The vibrato-enhanced variations provide different modulation effects.
Settings:
•SINE1
•SINE2
•SINE3
•SINE4
•VINTAGE1
•VINTAGE2
•VINTAGE3
•VINTAGE4
●Vibrato Speed
This determines the speed of the vibrato effect (when one of the vibratoenhanced Organ Types is selected).
●Attack Mode
This determines how the attack (or percussive) sound is applied to the organ flutes: First or Each. When this is set to FIRST, the attack sound will only be applied to the first note in a chord or a held group of notes. When this is set to EACH, the attack sound will be applied equally to all notes.
●Attack Footage
This determines the level of each volume in the percussive portion of the voice. Footage settings are 4′, 2-2/3′, and 2′.
●Length
This determines the decay of the attack sound, or how long the attack portion of the sound sustains. The higher the value, the longer the decay.
●Response
This parameter affects the sustain portion of the organ flutes, increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE parameter (below). The higher the value, the slower the swell and release.
●Footage
The footage settings determine the basic sound of the organ flutes.
The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16′ setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1′ setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.

Auto Accompaniment
The auto accompaniment feature puts a full backing band at your fingertips. To use it, all you have to do is play the chords with your left hand as you perform and the selected accompaniment style matching your music will automatically play along, instantly following the chords you play. With auto accompaniment, even a solo performer can enjoy playing with the backing of an entire band or orchestra.
The PSR-740/640 features a total of 160 styles or accompaniment patterns (style numbers 1 — 160) in a variety of different musical genres. Try selecting some of the different styles (page 150) and play with the auto accompaniment.

● INTRO Section
This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section.
The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected style. The PSR740 also features two intros: INTRO and COUNT INTRO.
● MAIN Section
This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures (2 — 4 measures), and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed. There are 4 variations on the basic pattern, A — D and the auto accompaniment changes harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand.
● FILL-IN Section
The fill-in sections let you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. Simply press one of the MAIN/AUTO FILL (A, B, C, D) buttons as you play, and the selected fill-in section plays automatically (AUTO FILL), spicing up the auto accompaniment. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly into the selected main section (A, B, C, D). There are four variations for the fill-in sections, each specially programmed to match the selected main section.
● ENDING Section
This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops automatically. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending on the selected style. The PSR-740 also features two endings: ENDING and SIMPLE ENDING .

Track Muting
The PSR-740/640 has eight accompaniment tracks — RHYTHM SUB, RHYTHM MAIN, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, and PHRASE 2 — that you can control to modify the “orchestration” and therefore the overall sound of the accompaniment. When a style is selected, the icons corresponding to the tracks which contain data for any section of that style will light.
Individual accompaniment tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by pressing the TRACK buttons (9 — 16) corresponding to the target tracks. The [M] icon will appear when a track is muted. By turning the tracks OFF and ON in different combinations, you can create various arrangements from a single accompaniment style.

Chord
The way in which chords are played or indicated with your left hand (in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard) is referred to as “fingering.” There are 5 types of fingerings as described below.
• Multi Finger |
• Fingered 1 |
• Full Keyboard |
• Single Finger |
• Fingered 2 |
• The default Fingering Mode is “Multi Finger.”
Press the [FINGERING] button.
ACMP ON/OFF FINGERING GROOVE ON/OFF
Select the desired fingering mode.
Use the data dial, the [+/YES] button or the [-/NO] button.
The SINGLE FINGER mode
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 AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard. The following abbreviated chord fingerings are used:
• 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.
•For a seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and a white key to its left.
•For a minor-seventh chord, simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left.
The FINGERED 1 mode
The Fingered 1 mode lets you finger your own chords on the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally 54) while the PSR-740/640 supplies appropriately orchestrated rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment in the selected style.
The FINGERED 1 mode recognizes the following chords:

•Notes in parentheses can be omitted.
•If you play any three adjacent keys (including black keys), the chord sound will be cancelled and only the rhythm instruments will continue playing (CHORD CANCEL function).
•Playing a single key or two same root keys in the adjacent octaves produces accompaniment based only on the root.
•A perfect fifth (1 + 5) produces accompaniment based only on the root and fifth which can be used with both major and minor chords.
•The chord fingerings listed are all in “root” position, but other inversions can be used
— with the following exceptions:
m7, m7b5, 6, m6, sus4, aug, dim7, 7b5, 6(9), m7(11), 1+2+5.
•Inversion of the 7sus4 chord are not recognized if the 5th is omitted.
•The AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT will sometimes not change when related chords are played in sequence (e.g. some minor chords followed by the minor seventh).
•Two-note fingerings will produce a chord based on the previously played chord.

Auto Accompaniment
The FINGERED 2 mode
This is essentially the same as the FINGERED 1 mode, described above, except that the FINGERED 2 mode additionally allows you to specify the lowest note of each chord — simply, the lowest note played in the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT section of the keyboard is used as the accompaniment bass note. This means you can specify “onbass” chords in which the main bass note for the chord is not the root of the chord. For a C major chord, for example, you could use E (the third) or G (the fifth) as the bass note rather than C.
C |
C on E |
C on G |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The FULL KEYBOARD mode
When the FULL KEYBOARD Mode is selected, the PSR-740/640 will automatically create appropriate accompaniment while you play just about anything using both hands, anywhere on the keyboard. You do not have to worry about specifying the accompaniment chords. The name of the detected chord will appear in the display.
•When the FULL KEYBOARD mode is selected, the split point setting (see below) for the auto accompaniment will be ignored.
The MULTI-FINGER mode
This is the default accompaniment mode. The MULTI-FINGER mode automatically detects SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED 1 chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fingering without having to switch fingering modes.
•If you want to play minor, seventh or minor seventh chords using the SINGLE FINGER operation in the MULTI-FINGER Mode, always press the closest white/black key(s) to the root of the chord.
Split Point
This function lets you change the key range for playing accompaniment chords (the auto accompaniment section).
The point on the keyboard that separates the auto accompaniment section and the righthand section of the keyboard is called the “split point.”
The initial (default) setting of the split point is F#2/G2; however, this can be set to any key you wish. Refer to page 135 for instructions on how to set the split point.

One Touch Setting parameter list
The PSR-740/640 features four different One Touch Settings for each of the 160 auto accompaniment styles built into the instrument. Each has been specially programmed to match the selected style; each has the best suited voice (or combination of voices), digital effects, and other settings for that style. Simply pressing one of the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] buttons lets you instantly reconfigure all relevant settings, conveniently allowing you to start playing in a desired style with all the appropriate sounds — without having to make each setting one by one.

Groove (PSR-740)
The Groove and Dynamics function on the PSR-740 lets you temporarily change the “feel” of the accompaniment. Specifically, it allows you to alter the timing, velocity and gate time of notes during playback of any of the accompaniment styles.
●Groove
This lets you play the music with some swing or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the accompaniment style.
• Groove Type
This determines the type of groove timing change. For example, the “16 to 8” setting converts all 16th notes to 8th-note timing.
• Groove Swing
This determines how much “swing” feel is applied to the accompaniment.
●Dynamics
This changes the velocity (or accent) of certain notes in the accompaniment style to complement or enhance changes made to the Groove settings above.
• Dynamics Type
This determines the type of dynamic change applied to the accompaniment. (Each type is a different “template” to which the timing of the velocity changes has been programmed.)
• Dynamics Depth
This determines how strongly the selected dynamics type is applied to the accompaniment (expressed as a percentage). Higher values produce a stronger effect.
Every time the [GROOVE] button is pressed, the values for the above Groove and
Dynamics parameters are automatically set to best suit the selected style.
Applying Groove & Dynamics
Select a style and start the accompaniment (page 35).
Press the [GROOVE ON/OFF] button.
The Groove & Dynamics effect will be applied to the accompaniment.

The Multi Pads
The PSR-740/640 Multi Pads can be used to play a number of short pre-recorded rhythmic and melodic sequences that can be used to add impact and variety to your keyboard performances. You can also record your own Multi Pad phrases as described in “Multi Pad Recording” on page 106.
Some pad phrases simply play back as programmed, while others are “chord match” types which, if the Chord Match function is turned on, are automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR740/640 auto accompaniment feature.
