Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Yamaha PSR-E413 Digital Keyboard! Please read this owner’s manual carefully before using the instrument in order to take full advantage of its various features. Make sure to keep this manual in a safe and handy place even after you finish reading, and refer to it often when you need to better understand an operation or function.
Special Features of the PSR-E413 ■ 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.

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.
The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha turned on. FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off.

Creating Arpeggios 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.
Page 15
Creating Arpeggios Select an arpeggio type. The most suitable arpeggio type is automatically selected when you select a voice, but you can easily select any other arpeggio type. ARP Type DownOct The currently selected arpeggio type Press the ARPEGGIO [TYPE] button and the name of the current arpeggio type will appear in the display.
Page 16
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. Select the keyboard voice (page 28). For this example we’ll use a grand piano voice, so press the [PORTABLE GRAND] button.

Create Original Sounds 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.
Page 19
Create Original Sounds 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.
Create Original Sounds 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.
