Taking Care of Your PortaTone
■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, 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 adaptor, 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
devices 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-
nectors or other parts of the instrument.
• 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.
YA AHA is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling or operation.
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pleasure if you follow the
simple rules given below:

■ 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 ower of the am lifier is reduced when batteries are used.
CAUTION
•Never interrupt the power supply (e.g. remove the batteries or un-
plug the AC adaptor) during any PSR-4 0 record operation! Doing so
can result in a loss of data.
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.
DC 10-12V INHEADPHONES/

SUSTAIN PEDAL
For battery operation the PSR-410 requires six 1.5V SUM-1, “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.
●Using Batteries .......................................................................................................................................
When the batteries fail, replace them as follows:
ZOpen the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s bottom
panel.
XInsert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on
the inside of the compartment.
CReplace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place.
CAUTION
•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
batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for an extended
period of time.

Basic Editing Procedure
ZPress a Function 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.
XEdit the Parameter..................................................................................................................................
The PSR-410 lets you edit parameters using three different methods.
Use the one that best suits the parameter you have selected:
Each time you press a function button (except for the SPLIT POINT
button) after initially selecting the function, the value of the corresponding
parameter will be incremented (increased) by one. If you hold the function
button for a few seconds, the parameter will begin to increment continu-
ously 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.
2-1: The Function Button
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:

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.
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.

2-3: The Number Buttons
● 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.
ARE YOU SURE ?
NOYES
NOTES
• After editing a arameter other than [VOICE SELECT], the [VOICE
SELECT] arameter will automatically be re-selected after a brief
delay.
•If you attempt to change a parameter that can not be edited in the
current mode, “---” will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.

voices is assigned to each part.
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.
●Single Modes
●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.

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:
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.

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.

L1 voice. R2 voice.
L2 voice. R2 voice.
●Split 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.
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).

■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).
ZCall the Pitch Bend Range Parameter ..................................................................................................
To set the pitch bend range, roll the PITCH BEND wheel all the way in
either direction so that the current range value appears on the MULTI DIS-
PLAY.
XSet the Pitch Bend Range......................................................................................................................
While holding the PITCH BEND wheel at its maximum position, use
the [+]and [−]buttons or the number buttons to select the desired pitch
bend range. The pitch bend range value is displayed in semitones (−12
through 12). If a minus setting is selected pitch bend wheel operation is
reversed — i.e. roll the wheel away from you to lower pitch. The default
pitch bend range (02) can be instantly recalled by pressing [+]and
[−]buttons simultaneously.
