Saving data
Maintenance
Saving and backing up your data
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,
solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. The panel settings and some other types of data is lost when you turn off the power
to the instrument. Save the data to the Registration Memory (page 80.)
Saved data may be lost due to malfunction or incorrect operation.
Save important data to an external device such as a computer.
Backing up the external media

• To protect against data loss through media damage, we recommend that you
save your important data onto two external media.
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.
When using a power adaptor, even when the power switch is in the “STANDBY” position, 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 AC power adaptor from the wall AC outlet.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

Special Features of the PSR-E403/YPT-400
■ Creating New Sounds Page 18

By adjusting just two knobs you can add varying degrees of distortion,
“sweetness,” or other characteristics to a sound to change it subtly or drasti-
cally. Parameters that can be assigned to the knobs include effect, filter, enve-
lope generator and more. You can create new sounds in real time!
■ Arpeggio Function Page 14

Similar to the arpeggio functions provided on some synthesizers, this func-
tion automatically produces arpeggios (broken chords) when you simply play
the appropriate notes on the keyboard. A variety of arpeggios can be pro-
duced by changing your fingering or the arpeggio type.
■ Performance assistant technology Page 23

Play along with a song on the instrument’s keyboard and produce a perfect
performance every time ... even if you play wrong notes! All you have to do
is play on the keyboard—alternately on the left- and right-hand ranges of the
keyboard, for example—and you’ll sound like a pro as long as you play in
time with the music.
■ Play a Variety of Instrument Voices Page 28

The instrument voice that sounds when you play the keyboard can be
changed to violin, flute, harp, or any of an extensive range of voices. You can
change the mood of a song written for piano, for example, by using violin to
play it instead. Experience a whole new world of musical variety.

Setting Up
Be sure to do the following operations BEFORE turning on the power.
Power Requirements
Although the instrument will run either from an optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha recommends use of an AC
adaptor whenever possible. An AC adaptor is more environmentally friendly than batteries and does not deplete
resources.
■ Using an AC Power Adaptor

Make sure that the [STANDBY/ON] switch of the
instrument is set to STANDBY.
WARNING
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3C AC Power Adaptor (or other adap-
tor 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
instrument.
Connect the AC adaptor (PA-3C or other adaptor

specifically recommended by Yamaha) to the power
supply jack.
Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
CAUTION
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the instrument,
or during electrical storms.
For battery operation the instrument requires six 1.5V

“D” size, R20P (LR20) or equivalent batteries. (Alkaline
batteries are recommended.) When battery power
becomes too low for proper operation, make sure to
replace all batteries, following the precautions listed
below.
If necessary, also make sure to save all important User
data (see page 56), since custom panel settings are
lost when the batteries are removed.
PA-3C AC outlet
CAUTION
• Use only manganese or alkaline batteries for this instrument.
Other types of batteries (including rechargeable batteries) may
exhibit a sudden drop in power when the batteries are low, possi-
bly resulting in a loss of flash memory data.
■ Using Batteries • Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining
the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may

Quick Guide
The arpeggio function lets you create arpeggios (broken chords) by

simply playing the required notes on the keyboard. For example, you
could play the notes of a triad—the root, third, and fifth—and the arpeg-
gio function will automatically create a variety of interesting arpeggio-
type phrases. By changing the arpeggio type and the notes you play it
is possible to create a wide range of patterns and phrases that can be
used for music production as well as performance.

gio function on.

Creating Arpeggios
Create a Pop Tune

You can play a style and specify the style chords with your left hand while playing arpeggios with your
right hand to create interesting sonic textures and backgrounds.
1 Select the keyboard voice (page 28).

For this example we’ll use a grand piano voice, so press the [PORTABLE GRAND]
button. This convenient voice selection method lets you instantly select a voice with a
single button press.
2 After turning the arpeggio function on, select an arpeggio type (steps 1
and 2 on the preceding page).
For this example select “02 DownOct1”.
That completes preparation to use the arpeggio function.
3 Select the style you want to play along with the arpeggio function.
A “style” is an automatic accompaniment pattern.
Press the [STYLE] button and the name of the currently selected style will appear in the
display. Rotate the dial to select the desired style. For this example we’ll use the “001

The accompaniment will change accordingly each time you play a new left-hand chord.
Of course you can also change your right-hand fingering to produce interesting changes.
If you’re not comfortable with right-hand playing yet, you could use the performance
assistant technology feature described on page 23. When the performance assistant feature
is on, playing any right-hand key will always produce musically appropriate notes!
Split point
Whenever you’re playing a style as well as a right-hand part, be sure that your left hand
plays only to the left of the split point and your right hand plays only to the right of the
split point. (page 30)

Create Original Sounds
d
Q
e The two knobs located in the lower left area of the panel can be used to
add variations to the sound being played, transforming the sound in a
variety of musical ways. Filter, envelope generator, and other effects
can be assigned to the two knobs as required. In this section we’ll
explain how effects can be assigned to the knobs, and provide a few
tips for their use.
Assigning Effects to the Knobs

Repeatedly press the [ASSIGN] button to sequentially select the five effect combinations provided: z →
x → c → v → b → z → ... etc. The currently selected combination is shown in the display.

b Style Tempo Tempo –No Effect–
The assignable knob effects are pre-programmed in the pairs listed above.
It is not possible to assign different effect combinations.
z–c affect the main and dual voices only. Split voices will not be affected. Styles and songs will also not
be affected.
v–b affect styles only.

z Filter
Filter effects shape sound by allowing only a specified range of frequencies
to pass and/or by producing a resonance peak at the filter’s “cutoff” fre-
quency. Filter effects can be used to create a range of synthesizer-like
sounds.
* Filter effects can sometimes cause distortion in the bass frequencies.
Some hints for using the filter effects are provided on page 22.
Filter Cutoff Filter Resonance
Knob A adjusts the filter’s cutoff frequency, and therefore the brightness of
the sound.

Knob B adjusts the amount of resonance applied at the filter’s cutoff fre-

c EG (Envelope Generator)
Envelope Generator effects determine how the level of the sound varies over
time. You can make the attack faster for a more percussive sound or slower
for a violin-like sound, for example. Or you can lengthen or shorten the sus-
tain to most ideally match the music.
Attack Time Release Time
Knob A adjusts attack time (the amount of time it takes the sound to reach
maximum level when a key is played).
Knob B adjusts release time (the amount of time it takes for the sound to
decay to silence after a key is released).

Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob

If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the
ideal settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the
same way, if the “v STYLE FILTER” effect is selected, the knobs will
be reset if a different style is selected. If you create an original setting
you like, it might be a good idea to save it in the instrument’s Registra-
tion Memory (page 80) so you can recall the same settings again at any
time. You can also record performances using original sounds you’ve
created (page 52).
The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects
that can be assigned to the knobs.
Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly
assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are first
operated after the new effect has been selected.
● Some Ideas for Using the Knobs

Number/Effect Try This
Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (page 106). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A
z FILTER while playing for some spacey, floating 1980’s effects.
Select a voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied, and turn
x EFFECT Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the “direct” sound of the voice. You can then turn the
Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and richness to the voice.
Select a piano voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3 o’clock position.
c EG This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time is quite long so play the keys
and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for slow pieces.
Select style 31, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback (page 34). Set
v STYLE FILTER Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The overall sound of the style should be
a bit muffled, with the drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact.
b STYLE TEMPO Play a style and/or arpeggio (page 14) and use Knob A to adjust the tempo.

Styles Are More Fun When You Understand Chords

Chords, created by playing multiple notes at the same time, are the basis for harmonic accompaniment.
In this section we’ll take a look at sequences of different chords played one after another, or “chord
sequences.” Since each chord has it’s own unique “color”—even if it’s different fingerings of the same
chord—the chords you choose to use in your chord progressions have a huge influence on the overall
feel of the music you play.
On page 34 you learned how to play colorful accompaniments using styles. Chord progressions are vital
to creating interesting accompaniments, and with a little chord know-how you should be able to take
your accompaniments to a new level.
On these pages we’ll introduce three easy-to-use chord progressions. Be sure to try them out with the
instrument’s accompaniment styles. The style will respond to the chord progression you play, effectively
creating a complete song.

Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions
Basic operation of the Style (auto-accompaniment) feature is described on page 33 of
the Quick Guide.
Here are some other ways you can play the styles, the style volume adjustment proce-
dure, how you can play chords using the styles, and more.
Pattern Variation (Sections)

The PSR-E403/YPT-400 features a wide variety of style “sections” that allow you to vary the arrangement
of the accompaniment to match the song you are playing.

Ending Auto fill
● INTRO section
This is used for the beginning of the Song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main sec-
tion. The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.
● MAIN section
This is used for playing the main part of the Song. It plays a main accompaniment pattern, and repeats indefinitely
until another section’s button is pressed. There are two variations on the basic pattern (A and B), and the Style
playback sound changes harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand.
● Fill-in section
This is automatically added before changing to section A or B.

Loading Style Files

This instrument features 155 internal styles, but other styles, such as those provided on the CD-ROM and
others that can be obtained from the internet (only styles with the “.sty” suffix), can be loaded into style
number 156 and used in the same way as the internal styles.
In order to use the style file load function, the file must already have been transferred from the computer to
the instrument. The procedure for transferring files from a computer to the instrument is described on page
89 (“Transferring Data between the Computer and Instrument”).
The procedure described below loads a style file that has already been transferred from a computer to the
instrument into style number 156.

Chord Basics
Two or more notes played together constitute a “chord”.
The most basic chord type is the “triad” consisting of three notes: the
root, third, and fifth degrees of the corresponding scale. A C major triad,
for example, is made up of the notes C (the root), E (the third note of the
C major scale), and G (the fifth note of the C major scale).
3rd 3rd
Root
In the C major triad shown above, the lowest note is the “root” of the
chord (this is the chord’s “root position” ... using other chord notes for
the lowest note results in “inversions”). The root is the central sound of the chord, which supports and
anchors the other chord notes.
The distance (interval) between adjacent notes of a triad in root position is either a major or minor third.
Major third–four half steps (semitones) Minor third–three half steps (semitones)
The lowest interval in our root-position triad (between the root and the third) determines whether the triad
is a major or minor chord, and we can shift the highest note up or down by a semitone to produce two addi-
tional chords, as shown below.
Major chord Minor chord Augmented chord Diminished chord
CM Cm C aug C dim
Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Major 3rd Major 3rd Minor 3rd Minor 3rd
The basic characteristics of the chord sound remain intact even if we change the order of the notes to create
different inversions. Successive chords in a chord progression can be smoothly connected, for example, by
choosing the appropriate inversions (or chord “voicings”).
● Reading Chord Names

Chord names tell you just about everything you need to know about a chord
(other than the inversion/voicing). The chord name tells you what the root of the
chord is, whether it is a major, minor, or diminished chord, whether it requires a
Cm
major or flatted seventh, what alterations or tensions it uses ... all at a glance. Root note Chord type

Connecting to a Computer
Nearly all of the electronic musical instruments made today—particularly synthesizers,
sequencers and computer music related devices—use MIDI. MIDI is a worldwide stan-
dard that allows these devices to send and receive performance and setting data. Natu-
rally, this instrument lets you save or send your keyboard performance as MIDI data, as
well as the songs, styles and panel settings.
The potential MIDI holds for your live performances and music creation/production is
enormous—simply by connecting this instrument to a computer and transmitting MIDI
data. In this section, you’ll learn the basics of MIDI and the specific MIDI functions pro-
vided by this instrument.

Drum Kit List
• “ ” indicates that the drum sound is the same as “Standard Kit 1”.
• Each percussion voice uses one note.
• The MIDI Note # and Note are actually one octave lower than keyboard Note # and Note. For example, in “117: Standard Kit 1”, the “Seq Click H” (Note# 36/
Note C1) corresponds to (Note# 24/Note C0).
• Key Off: Keys marked “O” stop sounding the instant they are released.
• Voices with the same Alternate Note Number (*1 ... 4) cannot be played simultaneously. (They are designed to be played alternately with each other.)

Effect Type List
● Harmony Types
No. Harmony Type Description
01 Duet Harmony types 01–05 are pitch-based and add one-, two- or three-note harmonies to the sin-
gle-note melody played in the right hand. These types sound when chords are played in the auto
02 Trio accompaniment range of the keyboard. These Harmony types will also work when playing
03 Block songs that contain chord data.
04 Country
05 Octave
06 Trill 1/4 note Types 6–26 are rhythm-based effects and add embellishments or delayed repeats in
time with the auto accompaniment. These types sound whether the auto accompani-
3 ment is on or not; however, the actual speed of the effect depends on the Tempo set-
07 Trill 1/6 note ting (page 27). The individual note values in each type let you synchronize the effect
precisely to the rhythm. Triplet settings are also available: 1/6 = quarter-note triplets,
08 Trill 1/8 note 1/12 = eighth-note triplets, 1/24 = sixteenth-note triplets.
3 • The Trill effect Types (06–12) create two-note trills (alternating notes) when two
09 Trill 1/12 note notes are held.
• The Tremolo effect Types (13–19) repeat all held notes (up to four).
10 Trill 1/16 note • The Echo effect Types (20–26) create delayed repeats of each note played.
