Owner's Manual 9 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 the specified adaptor (PA-130, or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may result in irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the instrument. Connect the AC adaptor 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. AC adaptor AC outlet 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. CAUTION Using Batteries Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument's bottom panel. Insert the six new batteries, being careful to follow the polarity markings on the inside of the compartment. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks firmly in place. NOTE · Connecting the AC power adaptor automatically supplies power from the adaptor and overrides battery power, even when batteries are installed. · 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, possibly resulting in a loss of flash memory data. · Be sure to install the batteries in the same direction, maintaining the correct polarity (as shown). Incorrect battery installation may result in heat, fire and/or leaking of corrosive chemicals. · 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. · If the instrument will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible fluid leakage. · Please use the power adaptor when transferring data to flash memory. Batteries (including rechargeable types) can be drained rapidly by this type of operation. If the batteries do become drained during a data transfer, both the data being transferred and the data currently in the transfer destination will be lost. 10 YPT-410 Owner's Manual Setting Up Make all necessary connections below BEFORE turning the power on. Connecting Headphones (PHONES/OUTPUT Jack) Connecting to a Computer (USB Terminal) The YPT-410 speakers are automatically shut off when a plug is inserted into this jack. The PHONES/OUTPUT jack also functions as an external output. You can connect the PHONES/OUTPUT jack to a keyboard amplifier, stereo system, mixer, tape recorder, or other line-level audio device to send the instrument's output signal to that device. WARNING · Avoid listening with the headphones at high volume for long periods of time; doing so may not only result in ear fatigue, it may be damaging to your hearing. Connect the instrument's USB terminal to the USB terminal of a computer, and you can transfer performance data and song files between the two (page 86). To use the USB data-transfer features you'll need to do the following: · First, make sure the POWER switch on the instrument is set to OFF, then use a USB cable to connect the instrument to the computer. After making the connections, turn on the power of the instrument. · Install the USB MIDI driver on your computer. CAUTION · To prevent damage to the speakers, set the volume of the external devices at the minimum setting before connecting them. Failure to observe these cautions may result in electric shock or equipment damage. Also, be sure to set the volumes of all devices at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to set the desired listening level. Installation of the USB MIDI driver is described on page 94. NOTE · Make sure to purchase a quality USB cable at a musical instrument store, computer store or electrical appliance store. Turning the Power On Connecting a Footswitch (SUSTAIN Jack) Turn down the volume by turning the [MASTER VOLUME] control to the left and press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn on the power. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch again to turn the power OFF. The sustain function lets you produce a natural sustain as you play by pressing a footswitch. Plug the Yamaha FC4 or FC5 footswitch into this jack and use it to switch sustain on and off. NOTE · Make sure that the footswitch plug is properly connected to the SUSTAIN jack before turning on the power. · Do not press the footswitch while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch, resulting in reversed footswitch operation. Backup data in the flash memory is loaded to the instrument when the power is turned on. If no backup data exists on flash memory, all instrument settings are restored to the initial factory defaults when the power is turned on. CAUTION · Even when the 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, and/or remove the batteries from the instrument.

For example, you could play the notes of a triad--the root, third, and fifth--and the arpeggio function will automatically create a variety of interesting arpeggiotype 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. Press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn the arpeggio function on. GrandPno 001 001 The ARPEGGIO icon appears when the arpeggio function is on. Voices and the Arpeggio Function This instrument lets you select a variety of "voices" that you can play via the keyboard. When you select a voice number between 129 and 143 the arpeggio function will automatically be engaged so you can start playing arpeggios immediately. The arpeggio function will automatically be turned off when you select any other voice. If you want to use voices 129­143 for normal performance without the arpeggio function, press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn the arpeggio function off after selecting the voice.

The most suitable arpeggio type is automatically selected when you select a voice, but you can easily select any other arpeggio type. ARP Type Hold for longer than a second DownOct1 02 The currently selected arpeggio type Hold the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button for longer than a second and the name of the current arpeggio type will appear in the display. Rotate the dial to select the desired arpeggio type. A list of the available arpeggio types is provided on page 113. 3 Play the keyboard. The sound of the arpeggio produced will change according to the number of notes you play and the area of the keyboard you play in. You can save the instrument's settings at this point and then recall them at any time you want to repeat your performance (page 80). You can also record your performance (page 52). The arpeggio function applies only to the main and dual voices, and does not affect split voices. The arpeggio function cannot be used at the same time as the harmony function. NOTE · Make sure that you are not pressing any of the keyboard's keys while turning the arpeggio function on or off. 4 When you have finished playing with the arpeggio function, press the [ARPEGGIO ON/OFF] button to turn it off. YPT-410 Owner's Manual 15 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. 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 8BtModrn" (8 Beat Modern) style. 3 8BtModrn 001 NOTE · Refer to "Playing Styles" on page 33. 16 YPT-410 Owner's Manual Creating Arpeggios 4 Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto accompaniment on. 8BtModrn 001 The ACMP ON icon will appear. When auto accompaniment is turned on, the left-hand section of the keyboard is used only for specifying accompaniment chords. NOTE · Refer to "When automatic accompaniment is on ..." on page 34. 5 6 Press the [START/STOP] button. The rhythm accompaniment will start. Begin playing. C Am F G7sus4 Listen carefully to the rhythm of the style, then play the notes shown in the score at the beginning of a measure. The style and arpeggio will begin playing together. 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) YPT-410 Owner's Manual 17 ck Gui ui Q 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. 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. z­c affect the main and dual voices only. Split voices will not be affected. Styles and songs will also not be affected. v­b affect styles only. e d GrandPno 001 001 Number/Effect Knob A Filter Cutoff Reverb Send Level Attack Time Filter Cutoff Tempo Knob B Filter Resonance Chorus Send Level Release Time Filter Resonance ­No Effect­ z Filter x Effect c EG v Style Filter b Style Tempo The assignable knob effects are pre-programmed in the pairs listed above. It is not possible to assign different effect combinations. 18 YPT-410 Owner's Manual 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" frequency. 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. Level Cutoff Frequency Frequency Frequencies in this range are passed. Frequencies in this range are cut off. Knob B adjusts the amount of resonance applied at the filter's cutoff frequency. Increasing the resonance emphasizes the frequencies at the cutoff frequency, and thus "strengthens" the perceived effect of the filter. Level Resonance Frequency x Effect Reverb reproduces the acoustic ambience of a concert hall or club, while chorus produces a layered "multi-instrument" effect. Reverb Send Level Chorus Send Level Knob A adjusts the depth of the reverb effect, and Knob B adjusts the depth of the chorus effect. YPT-410 Owner's Manual 19 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 sustain 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). Level Sustain Level ATTACK DECAY RELEASE Time Key Played Key Released v Style Filter Filter Cutoff Filter Resonance In this case the knobs apply the filter effect to the style being played. Knob A and Knob B have the same functions as for "z Filter" described on the preceding page. b Style Tempo Tempo ­No Effect­ Knob A adjusts the tempo of the style and arpeggios. Rotating the knob clockwise increases the tempo while rotating it counterclockwise decreases the tempo. The knob's center position produces the initial default tempo. 20 YPT-410 Owner's Manual Create Original Sounds Using the Knobs 1 Select the voice you want to play on the keyboard. SquareLd 097 The name of the currently selected voice will appear in the display when you press the [VOICE] button. Use the dial to select the desired voice. For this example we want to use a synth-lead type voice, so select "97 SquareLd" (Square-wave Lead). 2 Press the [ASSIGN] button as many times as necessary to select "z FILTER" ("z" will appear in the display). SquareLd 097 Knob A can now be used to adjust the filter cutoff frequency, and Knob B can be used to adjust the resonance. "z" appears here. 3 Rotate Knob B to its maximum setting (all the way to the right). Filter Cutoff Filter Resonance Rotating the knob to the right while the volume is set to a high level can result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce the volume level. YPT-410 Owner's Manual 21 Create Original Sounds 4 Play with the right hand while operating Knob A with the left hand. Filter Cutoff Filter Resonance 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 Registration 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 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 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. 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 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. Play a style and/or arpeggio (page 14) and use Knob A to adjust the tempo. z FILTER x EFFECT c EG v STYLE FILTER b STYLE TEMPO 22 YPT-410 Owner's Manual ck Gui ui Q The Easy Way to Play Piano This instrument includes a performance assistant technology feature that lets you play along with a song and sound like a great pianist (even though you might be making lots of mistakes)!
