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 connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-

connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly

cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,

always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can

damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to

be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent

damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are

using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,

immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the

outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still

flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using

the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from

the wall AC outlet.

• 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.

• 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 insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on

the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or

others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational

failure.

• 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.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones 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.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (display is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

NOTICE

To avoid the possibility of malfunction/ damage to the product, damage to data, or damage to other property, follow the notices below.

 Handling

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment, mobile

phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio may

generate noise.

When you use the instrument along with an application on your smart device

such as a smartphone or tablet, we recommend that you set Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to

on after setting “Airplane Mode” to on on that device in order to avoid noise

caused by communication.

• 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, damage to the internal components or

unstable operation. (Verified operating temperature range: 5° – 40°C, or 41° –

104°F.)

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

 Maintenance

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, alcohol, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

 Saving data

• Edited Song/Style/Voice/MIDI setup data, etc. are lost when you turn off the power to

the instrument without saving. This also occurs when the power is turned off by the

Auto Power Off function (page 21). Save the data to the instrument, or to USB flash

drive/an external device such as a computer (page 33). Saving the data to USB flash

drive/an external device is even more secure, since the data in the instrument may be

lost due to some failure, an operation mistake, etc. Before using a USB flash drive,

make sure to refer to page 107.

• To protect against data loss through USB flash drive damage, we recommend that

you save your important data onto spare USB flash drive or an external device

such as a computer as backup data.

PSR-SX900/SX700 Owner’s Manual 7

Main Features

Replacing the hugely successful PSR-S series, the PSR-SX900/SX700 are the new generation in Digital Worksta-

tion sound, design and user experience. Whether you’re a professional musician or a hobbyist, these instruments

will inspire and intensify your musical performance and enjoyment.

 Extraordinarily expressive and realistic Voices

The PSR-SX900/SX700 has a comprehensive and sonically stunning set of authentic Voices, and gives you the tools to play these

Voices more naturally and with greater expressiveness.

 Accompaniment Styles

The Styles of the PSR-SX900/SX700 provide full instrumental accompaniments making it possible to perform in a wide variety of

music genres, just by playing chords.

 LIVE CONTROL knobs and Assignable buttons—Customize your controllers

The two LIVE CONTROL knobs let you intuitively control your performance in real-time. A wide variety of functions can be

assigned to the knobs, so you can easily add variations to the sound during your performance. The Assignable buttons let you set

your favorite functions and shortcuts for a more personalized operation.

 Chord Looper—Your virtual left hand (PSR-SX900)

Chord Looper enables you to record a chord sequence and play it back, freeing your left hand from playing chords and providing

new opportunities to further enhance your performance.

 Quick and easy set up with Playlist and Registration

Playlist is the new way to quickly setup the instrument, no matter how large your repertoire is. Organize your Registration Memo-

ries into convenient Playlists for instant recall during performance.

 Voice and Style expandability with the Yamaha Expansion Manager

With Yamaha Expansion Manager software on your computer, you can continually expand the onboard content of the instrument

by creating and installing your own custom and purchased Packs. Supporting WAV, AIFF, SoundFont and even REX format, for

handling audio slices, the scope of possibilities for new sounds and styles is virtually unlimited.

 Audio Function

Audio files (WAV or MP3 format) can be played back on the instrument. You can also record your performance as audio files

(WAV or MP3 format) to the internal User drive or a USB flash drive directly. The instrument also provides a variety of advanced,

convenient audio playback and processing functions, including Time Stretch, which lets you slow down or speed up an audio file

without changing the pitch, and Pitch Shift, which allows you to change the pitch without affecting the time. The Vocal Cancel

function significantly reduces the volume of vocals in an audio file, allowing you to sing “karaoke” style with just the instrumental

backing. Audio files can also be assigned to Multi Pads and played back during performance, the creative potential is huge.

Compatible formats for the instrument

GM (General MIDI) is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. GM System Level 2 is a standard specifica-

tion that enhances the original GM format and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony,

greater Voice selection, expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide

more Voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility

of data well into the future.

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM

specifically to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over

Voices and effects.

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended

expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is

played.

SFF (Style File Format) is an original Style file format by Yamaha which uses a unique conversion system to provide

high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types. SFF GE (Guitar Edition) is an enhanced

format of SFF, which features improved note transposition for guitar tracks.

14 PSR-SX900/SX700 Owner’s Manual

Key Functions and Terms

This section briefly explains the key functions of this instrument, to help you better understand the overall capa-

bilities.

Styles—Rhythm and Auto Accompaniment—

The PSR-SX900/SX700 features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety

of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. Styles feature sophisticated Auto Accompaniment pat-

terns, letting you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing chords with your left hand. This lets you

automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra—even if you’re playing by yourself.

Voices—Individual sounds of the instrument—

The PSR-SX900/SX700 features a wide variety of exceptionally realistic instrumental Voices, including piano, guitar,

strings, brass, wind instruments and more. The Voices can be played manually on the keyboard, and they are also used by

the Styles, MIDI Songs, and Multi Pads.

Multi Pads—Adding musical phrases to your performance—

The 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. Multi Pads are grouped in Banks of four phrases each. This instrument

features a variety of Multi Pad Banks in a variety of different musical genres. Moreover, the Audio Link Multi Pad function

allows you to create unique, new pad content with your own audio (WAV) data for playing back during your performance.

Songs—Playing back MIDI/audio files—

For this instrument, the term “Song” refers to MIDI or audio data, such as preset songs, commercially available files, etc.

Not only can you play back a Song and listen to it, but you can also play the keyboard along with Song playback.

Song playback features two modes: Song Player mode and Song List mode.

• Song Player: Plays back two Songs (one MIDI Song and one Audio Song) simultaneously and allows for a smooth tran-

sition between the two.

• Song List: Plays back Songs continuously according to a previously created Song List.

Mic/Guitar Connections—Sing/play along with the keyboard performance—

By connecting a microphone to the MIC/GUITAR [INPUT] jack (standard 1/4” phone plug connector), you can enjoy

singing along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback. The instrument outputs your vocals through the

connected speaker system.

Moreover, the PSR-SX900 features an Vocal Harmony/Synth Vocoder function. You can automatically apply various Vocal

Harmony effects to your voice as you sing, or use the Synth Vocoder feature to graft the unique characteristics of your

voice onto synthesizer and other sounds.

Both the PSR-SX900 and PSR-SX700 let you connect an electric guitar, and you can even use powerful DSP effects to pro-

cess the guitar sound instead, and play that along with the keyboard sounds.

Keyboard Parts

There are four keyboard parts for your manual performance: LEFT, RIGHT 1, 2 and 3. Each part has one Voice. You can combine

these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create luscious instrument textures and convenient performance combinations.

You can change the keyboard range of the Parts by changing the Split Point.
