Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the
simple rules given below:
nectors or other parts of the instrument.
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 temperature (e.g. near a heat source, out-
side, or in a car during the daytime.
• Excessive humidity.
• Excessive dust.
• Strong vibration.
Power Supply
• Turn the power switch OFF when the instrument
is not in use.
• A power adapter, if used, should be unplugged
from the AC outlet if the instrument is not to be
used for an extended period of time.
• Unplug the power adaptor during electric storms.
• Avoid plugging the power adaptor into the same
AC outlet as appliances with high power con-
sumption, such as electric heaters or ovens. Also
avoid using multi-plug adaptors since these can
result in reduced sound quality and possibly
damage.
Turn Power OFF When Making
Connections
•
To avoid damage to the instrument and other de-
vices to which it is connected (a sound system,
for example), turn the power switches of all re-
lated devices OFF prior to connecting or discon-
necting audio and MIDI cables.
Handling and Transport
•
Never apply excessive force to the controls, con-
• Always unplug cables by gripping the plug
firmly, not by pulling on the cable.
•
Disconnect all cables before moving the instru-
ment.
• Physical shocks caused by dropping, bumping, or
placing heavy objects on the instrument can re-
sult in scratches and more serious damage.
Cleaning
• Clean the cabinet and panel with a dry soft cloth.
• A slightly damp cloth may be used to remove
stubborn grime and dirt.
• Never use cleaners such as alcohol or thinner.
• Avoid placing vinyl objects on top of the instru-
ment (vinyl can stick to and discolor the surface).
Electrical Interference
• This instrument contains digital circuitry and
may cause interference if placed too close to ra-
dio or television receivers. If this occurs, move
the instrument further away from the affected
equipment.
Service and Modification
• The PSR-410 contains no user serviceable parts.
Opening it or tampering with it in anyway can
lead to irreparable damage and possibly electric
shock. Refer all servicing to qualified YAMAHA
personnel.
YAMAHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.

Preparation
This section contains information about setting up your PSR-410 and preparing to play.
Be sure to go through this section carefully before using your PSR-410.
Power Supply
Your PSR-410 will run either from an optional power adaptor or batteries*. Follow the instructions below
according to the power source you intend to use.
* When batteries are used the sound of the PSR-410 may be distorted at high volume
levels. This is because the power of the amplifier is reduced when batteries are used.
• Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or un-
plug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-410 record operation! Doing so
can result in a loss of data.
Using An Optional AC Power Adaptor
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Plug the DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-3, PA-4, PA-5, or
PA-40 AC Power Adaptor into the DC IN jack on the rear panel of the PSR-
410, then plug the Power Adaptor (or the AC cable of the Power Adaptor) into
a convenient wall AC power socket. The internal batteries are automatically
disconnected when an AC Power Adaptor is used.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3, PA-4, PA-5, or PA-40 AC Power Adaptor
to power your instrument from the AC mains. The use of other adap-
tors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the
PSR-410.
• Using the PA-5 with the PSR-410 will provide a slight increase in the
overall volume.

For battery operation the PSR-410 requires six 1.5V SUM-l, "D" size, R-20 or equivalent batteries.
When the batteries need to be replaced the volume may be reduced, the sound may be distorted, and other
problems may occur. When this happens, turn the power off while either the batteries are replaced or an AC
adaptor is connected.
When the batteries fail, replace them as follows:
Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom
panel.
Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on
the inside of the compartment.
Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
• When the batteries run down, replace them with a complete set of
six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new batteries.
• Do not use different kinds of batteries (e.g. alkaline and manganese)
at the same time.
• To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage, remove the bat-
teries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended pe-
riod of time.

Preparation
Using Headphones Or an External Sound System
A standard pair of stereo headphones can be plugged into the rear-panel
HEADPHONES/AUX OUT jack for private practice or late-night playing.
The internal speaker system is automatically shut off when a pair of head-
phones is plugged into the HEADPHONES/AUX OUT jack. The HEAD-
PHONES/AUX OUT jack can also be used to deliver the output of the
PSR-410 to a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console or
tape recorder.
n The Sustain Pedal
An optional Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch can be plugged into the
rear-panel SUSTAIN PEDAL jack. The sustain pedal functions as a damper
pedal, controlling sustain. Press the pedal to sustain notes after the keys are
released.
• Be sure that you do not press the pedal while inserting the plug
into the SUSTAIN PEDAL jack or while turning the power on. If
you do, the ON/OFF status of the footswitch will be reversed.
This function has been implemented to allow either press-to-
make or press-to-break contact type footswitches to be used with
the PSR-410.
n The Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot located at the rear
of the PSR-410 control panel.

Basic Editing Procedure
The PSR-410 features a flexible-but-consistent interface that lets you edit just about all of its
parameters using the same basic procedure. Once familiar with the system, you’ll be able to
edit any parameter quickly and easily. Here’s the basic procedure:
Press aFunction Button
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
First press the button corresponding to the function or parameter you
want to edit. To select voice numbers, for example, press the [VOICE SE-
LECT] button (its indicator will light). The number shown on the MULTI
DISPLAY will be the current value of the selected parameter.
Edit the Parameter . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The PSR-410 lets you edit parameters using three different methods.
Use the one that best suits the parameter you have selected:
2-1: The Function Button
Each time you press a function button after initially selecting the func-
tion, the value of the corresponding parameter will be incremented (in-
creased) by one. If you hold the function button for a few seconds, the pa-
rameter will begin to increment continuously as long as you hold the button.
If, for example, you press the [VOICE SELECT] button and MULTI
DISPLAY shows that voice number 36 is currently selected, you can select
voice number 37 simply by pressing the [VOICE SELECT] button again.

2-2: The [+] and [-] Buttons The [+] and [-] buttons immediately to the right of the MULTI DIS-
PLAY can be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease
by one) the currently selected parameter. Press the [+] button briefly to in-
crement the parameter value, or the [-] button to decrement. If you hold the
[+] or [-] button down, the value will increment or decrement continuously
— simply release the button when the desired value has been reached.
2-3: The Number Buttons The number buttons — to the right of the [+] and [-] buttons — allow
direct numeric entry of the desired value, and are therefore the fastest way
to edit in many situations.
To select a voice, for example, choose one of the 128 voices — num-
bered “01” through “128” — shown on the panel VOICE list, then enter its
number using the number buttons. To select “HARMONICA” (number 23),
for example, first press
[2] then [3]. The number “23” should then appear
on the MULTI DISPLAY.
The [+/-] button is used to switch between positive and negative values
with parameters that allow negative values (Transpose, Tuning, Octave, and
Pan, for example). A “-” appears before negative values on the MULTI
DISPLAY.
When selecting voice numbers the [+/-] button is used to enter the hun-
dreds digit of the voice number (the button alternately selects no hundreds
digit or “1”), as required, prior to entering the tens and ones digits. The
[1]
number button cannot be used to enter the hundreds digit when selecting
voices.
Values outside the range of the selected parameter can not be entered.
• After editing a parameter other than [VOICE SELECT], the [VOICE
SELECT] parameter will automatically be re-selected after a brief
delay.
Yes/No Confirmation
Some operations that change important settings or erase data may require you
to confirm your choice by pressing the [YES] or [NO] button. When a choice needs
to be confirmed the ARE YOU SURE? indicator will flash and a digitally sampled
voice will ask “Are you sure?“. Press the [YES] button to execute the specified op-
eration or the [NO] button to cancel and leave the settings or data unaffected.
If you don’t want to hear the "Are you sure?” confirmation sound, hold down the
[NO] button while initially turning the power switch on. To restore the confirmation
sound, turn the power switch off, then turn it back on again while holding down the
[YES] button. The on/off status of the confirmation sound is retained in memory
even when the power switch is turned off as long as batteries are installed on an
AC adaptor is connected.

Selecting & Playing the Voices
The PSR-410 has 128 stunning voices plus 8 different drum and percussion kits that
you can select and play in a number of ways.
Orchestration
The unique ORCHESTRATION button group in the PSR-410’s VOICE control section lets you select and
play from one to four “parts” at the same time using a variety of “orchestrations”. One of the PSR-410’s 128
voices is assigned to each part.
Single: One voice over the entire keyboard.
Dual: Two voices simultaneously over the entire keyboard.
Split: Different voices with the left and right hands.
Split & Dual: Combinations of the Split and Dual modes.
There are actually a number of variations on
each of the above orchestrations. The ORCHES-
TRATION buttons are used to choose the type of
orchestration you want.
The four available parts are turned on and off by
the
[R1], [R2], [L1], and [L2] buttons. The indica-
tors next to each of these buttons tell you which
parts are on and which are off, and therefore indi-
cate the current orchestration mode. The
[EDIT]
button determines which of the four orchestration
parts is to be edited. You can, for example, assign
any of the PSR-410’s 128 voices to each of the or-
chestration parts. But before we discuss voice as-
signment and editing, let’s take a look at the various
orchestration modes:
Single Modes
In the “single” modes either the [R1] or [R2] part
voice can be played over the entire keyboard. The R1
and R2 single-voice modes are selected simply by
pressing either the [R1] or [R2] button if neither the
[L1] or [L2] indicators are lit. If the [L1] and/or [L2]
indicators are lit, press them so that both indicators
go out.
Note that when you select the [R1] or [R2] single-
voice mode, the triangular EDIT indicator for the se-
lected voice also lights. This means you can select a
different voice number or otherwise edit the current
voice using the procedures described on page 12.

Dual Mode
Split & Dual Modes
In the dual mode both the [R1] and [R2] part
voices are selected so they can be played simultane-
ously across the entire keyboard. To select the dual
mode, make sure that both the [L1] and [L2] indica-
tors are out, then press both the [R1] and [R2] but-
tons simultaneously (or hold one while pressing the
other).
You can switch back to either of the single modes
from the dual mode simply by pressing the [R1] or
[R2] button, as required.
Split Modes
The PSR-410 allows four different split modes,
with one voice played on the left-hand section of the
keyboard ([L1] or [L2]) and a different voice on the
right-hand section of the keyboard ([R1] or [R2]).
Selecting a split mode is simply a matter of pressing
the buttons corresponding to the desired left- and
right-hand parts.
The split point (i.e. the key at which the voices
change over) can be set at any desired key by using
the SPLIT POINT CHANGE function described on
page 18.
There are five possible combinations of the split
and dual modes, as shown below. The part for the
single-voice side of the combination is selected sim-
ply by pressing the appropriate part button, while for
the dual-voice side both buttons must be pressed
simultaneously (or one while holding the other).

tions. “-4”, for example, would place the sound between center and full
left.
The center pan position (0) can be recalled instantly by pressing both the
[+] and [-] buttons at the same time.
• The new pan value will apply from the next note played — i.e. you
can’t pan the sound of a note while it is playing.

Auto Harmony

page 20). It automatically adds appropriate harmony notes to a single-note melody line you play on the key-
board. You can choose from 10 different types of harmony that can be assigned to the right-hand orchestration
parts.

Pitch Bend
The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard allows the note
pitch to be bent up or down — roll the wheel away from you to bend up,
and toward you to bend down (this situation can be reversed, as described
below). When the PITCH BEND wheel is moved almost all the way in
either direction, the current pitch bend range value will appear on the
MULTI DISPLAY (see below).
Setting the Pitch Bend Range
The maximum amount of pitch bend produced by the PITCH BEND wheel can be set anywhere from ±1
semitone to ±12 semitones (i.e. plus or minus one octave).
