• The level of the microphone sound may vary considerably according to the type of microphone used. • Placing a microphone which is connected to the PSR-9000 too close to the PSR-9000 speakers (or those of an external sound system connected to the PSR-9000) can cause feedback. Adjust the microphone position and the INPUT VOL- UME level or MASTER VOLUME control level if necessary, so that feedback does not occur.

Page 73 Waveform All PSR-9000 waves are contained in a “waveform”, which is basically a set of parameters which deﬁne the keyboard range over which the wave or waves it contains will play. A wave- form can contain one or more waves, and waves can be shared by more than one waveform.
Page 74: Recording A Sample
Follow the on-screen instructions. Set this parameter to ON if you want the sample to play back at the same pitch over the entire key range of the PSR-9000. Set the key range to which the new sample will be assigned. Pitch/speed of sample goes up.

Page 76: Editing Wave Data
Wave Edit Resampling The PSR-9000 originally records waves at 44.1 kHz. WAV and AIFF ﬁles are also imported as 44.1 kHz waves. The RESAMPLING function lets you reduce the sampling frequency of waves, thus reducing the amount of memory they occupy. Please note, however, that reduc- ing the sampling frequency also reduces the sound quality.
Page 77 Loop Point This display determines how your sampled waves play back. Your sampled waves can be played back in three different ways as follows: WAVE START WAVE START WAVE START LOOP START See above. When the ONE SHOT or REVERSE is selected, select either the Start or End address of the wave.
Page 78 Sampling Normalize This function increases the overall level of the selected wave to ensure that it uses the full range of digital values. Press the EXECUTE LCD button to normalize the selected wave. No change will occur if the selected wave already uses the full range of digital values. Volume/Tune Set the volume of the selected wave.

Parameter Edit Select the desired menu. Source Root/Source Chord These settings determine the original key of the source pattern (i.e. the key used when recording the pattern). The default, CM7 (the source root is “C” and the source chord type is “M7”), is automatically selected whenever the preset data is deleted prior to recording a new style, regardless of the source root and chord included in the preset data.
Page 114 Style Creator NTR (Note Transposition Rule) Two settings are available: • ROOT TRANS... When the root note is transposed, the pitch relationship between notes is maintained. For example, the notes C3, E3, and G3 in the key of C will become F3, A3, and C4 when transposed to F.
Page 115 Note Limit This sets the note range (low and high limits) for the voices recorded on user style tracks. By setting the note range, you can prevent unrealistic notes (such as high notes from a bass or low notes from a piccolo) from being produced and have them shifted to an octave within the note range.

Page 127: Disk Operations
The PSR-9000 [DISK/SCSI] button accesses a range of functions that are used for storage and retrieval of ﬂoppy disk data. The PSR-9000 can also be ﬁtted with an optional internal hard disk or an optional con- nected SCSI device for massive on-line storage capacity.
Page 128: Loading Data From A Disk To Flash Rom
BACK NEXT CAUTION • When data is loaded from a ﬂoppy disk to the PSR-9000, the data already in the mem- ory of the instrument will be replaced by the data on the disk. Save important data to a disk ﬁle before doing the Load operation.
Page 129: Saving Data From Flash Rom To A Disk

This function changes the sequence/track name of the Meta Event of the Standard MIDI ﬁle to the song name of the PSR-9000. Save the SMF ﬁles before using this function as required. Select the ﬁle to be named.
Page 132: Editing Directories
Select the desired menu. Formatting a Disk Setting up commercially available blank ﬂoppy disks for use with PSR-9000 is called formatting. This function is also useful for quickly deleting unnecessary ﬁles from an already formatted disk. Be careful when using this operation, since it automatically deletes all data on the disk.
Page 133: Checking A Disk
Checking a Disk This function can be used to check an entire disk for damaged ﬁles and recover the ﬁles so that they can be properly read. Keep in mind that, depending on the extent of the damage, some ﬁles may not be recoverable. The explanations here apply to step #3 of the Basic Procedure on page 127.

Page 144: Midi Functions
MIDI Functions Built into the rear panel of the PSR-9000 are two standard sets to MIDI terminals (MIDI IN A/B, MIDI OUT A/B), a TO HOST terminal, and a HOST SELECT switch. The MIDI Functions give you a comprehensive, powerful set of tools for expanding your music recording and performance possibilities.
Page 145 In order to exchange MIDI data between multiple devices, each device must be con- nected by a cable. There are two ways to connect: from the MIDI terminals of the PSR-9000 to the MIDI terminals of an external device using a MIDI cable, or from the TO HOST port of the PSR-9000 to the serial port of a personal computer using a special cable.
Page 146: What You Can Do With Midi
MIDI Functions On the PSR-9000, 16 channels of MIDI data can be transmitted/received over a single MIDI cable, or over a serial cable (using the TO HOST terminal). Since the PSR-9000 features two independent MIDI “ports” (A and B), a total of 32 MIDI channels can be used simultaneously.
Page 147: Midi Data Compatibility
• The 9000 is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF ﬁle containing lyric data is played. Style File The Style File Format — SFF — is Yamaha’s original style ﬁle format which uses a unique conver- sion system to provide high-quality automatic accompaniment based on a wide range of chord types.

Clock Determines whether the PSR-9000 is controlled by its own internal clock or a MIDI clock signal received from an external device. INTERNAL is the normal Clock setting when the PSR-9000 is being used alone. If you are using the PSR-9000 with an external sequencer, MIDI computer, or other MIDI device, and you want the PSR-9000 to be synchronized to the external device, set this function to EXTERNAL.
Page 152: Receive Settings
LEFT The LEFT part is controlled by the MIDI data received on the corresponding channel. KEYBOARD MIDI note data received by the PSR-9000 plays the corresponding notes in the same way as if they are played on the keyboard. ACMP The received notes are used as the accompaniment RHYTHM 1 and RHYTHM 2 notes.
Page 153: Root Settings
The note on/off messages received at the channel(s) set to “ON” are recognized as the ﬁngerings in the accompaniment section. The chords to be detected depend on the ﬁn- gering mode on the PSR-9000. The chords will be detected regardless of the accompa- niment on/off and split point settings on the PSR-9000 panel.
Page 154: Mfc10 Settings
MIDI Functions MFC10 Settings Various functions can be assigned to an optional Yamaha MFC10 MIDI Foot Controller connected to the PSR-9000. Connect the MFC10 to the MIDI B terminals and set the MIDI channel for the MFC10 messages by following the on-screen instructions.
Page 155 • When setting up the MFC10 from the PSR- 9000, a MIDI cable must be connected from the MIDI OUT of the PSR-9000 to the MIDI IN of the MFC10. However, you should dis- connect this cable when using the MFC10, since extraneous MIDI messages may be transmitted from the PSR-9000.
