• 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 or damage to the
internal components.
• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televi-
sions, radios, or speakers, since this might cause interference which can
affect proper operation of the other products.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might acci-
dentally fall over.
• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.
• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint
thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.
Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since
this might discolor the panel or keyboard.
• 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.
• Use only the stand/rack specified for the instrument. When attaching the
stand or rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause
damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling over.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncom-
fortable volume level, since this can cause permanent hearing loss. If you
experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modi-
fications to the instrument, or data that is lost or destroyed.
Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.
Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.
PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.
• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts
or modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable
parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immedi-
ately and have it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet
conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill
into any openings.
• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is
a sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual
smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off
the power switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have
the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by
Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the in-
strument or overheating.
• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the
outlet. Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.
• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which
may have accumulated on it.
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 place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or
radiators, and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord,
place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could
walk on, trip over, or roll anything over it.
• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet, always
hold the plug itself and not the cord.
• 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.
• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during
electrical storms.
• Always make sure all batteries are inserted in conformity with the +/-
polarity markings. Failure to do so might result in overheating, fire, or
battery fluid leakage.
• Always replace all batteries at the same time. Do not use new batteries
together with old ones. Also, do not mix battery types, such as alkaline
batteries with manganese batteries, or batteries from different makers, or
different types of batteries from the same maker, since this can cause
overheating, fire, or battery fluid leakage.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
• If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries
from it, in order to prevent possible fluid leakage from the battery.
• Keep batteries away from children.
• 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.

Portable Grand
Yamaha Education Suite
The PortaTone also has a Portable Grand function for realistic piano performance. Pressing the
PORTABLE GRAND button instantly calls up the stunningly authentic “Stereo Sampling Piano” voice
and configures the entire PortaTone for optimum piano play. Special Piano styles — with piano-only
accompaniment — are also provided.
The PSR-195/PSR-79 is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use keyboard with the follow-
ing features and functions:
Main Features
The PortaTone features the new Yamaha Education Suite — a set of learning tools that utilize the latest
technology to make studying and practicing music more fun and fulfilling than ever before!
The Yamaha Education Suite includes:
Powerful Melody Guide functions in the Song mode — Waiting and Minus One — that let you
easily learn the 100 songs and even show you what notes to play!
• Waiting pauses song playback (like a patient teacher!), so you can practice at your own pace.
• Minus One mutes only the melody part, letting you play the part yourself. The expert
backing parts encourage you to play your best and make it easy to “feel” the song!
Chord Guide functions in the Style mode — Smart and Dictionary — that make it exceptionally
easy to learn chords and chord relationships.
• Smart lets you easily play harmonically “correct” chord progressions for whatever key you
specify. It’s great for learning — and performing!
• Dictionary is a built-in “chord encyclopedia” that teaches you how to play specific chords.
You type in the chord name, and the PortaTone shows you which notes to play!
page 26-27, 34-35, 37-39
page 13
Other powerful features include:
• Exceptionally realistic and dynamic sounds with
100 voices, utilizing digital recordings of actual
instruments.
• 100 dynamic auto accompaniment Styles, each
with different Intro, Main A and B, and Ending
sections. All styles (except for the Piano styles) also
have their own four Fill-in patterns.
•
Large custom LCD gives you easy, at-a-glance confirma-
tion of all important settings, as well as chord and note
indications.
• 100 songs, for your listening enjoyment — or for
use with the sophisticated learning tools of the
Yamaha Education Suite.
•
Convenient control over accompaniment Styles —
including Tempo and independent Accompaniment
Volume.
• One Touch Setting (OTS), for automatically calling
up an appropriate voice for playing with the selected
Style.
• MIDI terminals for interfacing with other MIDI
devices. The PSR-195 also has a Sustain switch jack.
• Built-in, high-quality stereo amplifier/speaker
system.

This section contains information about setting up your PortaTone for playing.
Make sure to read this section carefully before using the instrument.
Setting Up
Power Requirements
Although the PSR-195/79 will run either from an
optional AC adaptor or batteries, Yamaha
recommends use of an AC adaptor whenever
possible. An AC adaptor is more environmen-
tally friendly than batteries and does not deplete
resources.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you
will need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3B
Power Adaptor. Use of other AC adaptors could
result in damage to the instrument, so be sure
to ask for the right kind. Plug the adaptor into a
convenient wall outlet and its connector into
the DC IN 10-12V jack on the back of your
PortaTone.
WARNING :
• Use ONLY a Yamaha PA-3B AC Power Adaptor (or other
adaptor 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 PSR-
195/79.
• Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the PSR-195/
79, or during electrical storms.
Using Batteries
■ Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove
the battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt
size “D” (SUM-1, R-20 or equivalent) batteries
as shown in the illustration, making sure that
the positive and negative terminals are properly
aligned, and replace the lid.
■ When the Batteries Run Down
When the batteries run low and the battery
voltage drops below a certain level, the
PortaTone may not sound or function properly.
As soon as this happens, replace them with a
complete set of six new batteries.
CAUTION :
• Never mix old and new batteries or different types of
batteries (e.g., alkaline and manganese).
• To prevent possible damage from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instrument if it is not to be used for a
long time.

CAUTION :
• Even when the switch is in the “STAND BY” position,
electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum
level. When you are not using the PSR-195/79 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.
Turning On the Power
With the AC power adaptor connected or with
batteries installed, simply press the STAND BY
switch until it locks in the ON position. When
the instrument is not in use, be sure to turn the
power off. (Press the switch again so that it
pops up.)

NOTE:
Even though the PSR-79 does not have a SUSTAIN jack,
certain voices have a natural sustain added to the sound.
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.
■ Using the MIDI Terminals
The PortaTone also features MIDI terminals,
allowing you to interface the PortaTone with
other MIDI instruments and devices. (For more
information, see page 41.)

■ Using a Sustain Footswitch (PSR-195 only)
This feature on the PSR-195 lets you use an
optional footswitch (Yamaha FC4 or FC5) to
sustain the sound of the keyboard voice. This is
used in the same way as a damper pedal on an
acoustic piano — press and hold down the
footswitch as you play the keyboard to sustain
the sound.
Accessory Jacks
■ Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without
disturbing others, connect a set of stereo head-
phones to the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT
jack. Sound from the built-in speaker system is
automatically cut off when you insert a head-
phone plug into this jack.
■ Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier or Stereo
System
Though the PortaTone is equipped with a built-
in speaker system, you can also play it through
an external amplifier/speaker system. First,
make sure the PortaTone and any external
devices are turned off, then connect one end of
a stereo audio cable to the LINE IN or AUX IN
jack(s) of the other device and the other end to
the rear panel PHONES/AUX OUT jack on the
PortaTone.
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.

Getting Started —
Playing the Demo Songs
The PortaTone has a huge variety of Demo songs, specially recorded to showcase
the dynamic sounds and rhythms and give you an idea of what you can do with
the instrument.
First, turn on the power.
Press the STAND BY/ON button. Whenever the power
is turned on, the Voice mode is automatically called up
and set to play Voice 1 (GrandPno).
Set the Volume.
Initially, turn the MASTER VOLUME control about a third
of the way up. You can adjust the control for optimum
level once the songs start playing.
Press the DEMO START buttons.
All 100 songs will play in sequence. You can play along on the keyboard
with the songs. If the Voice Change function is on (page 27), the key-
board voice will change to match the changes in the song of the melody
voice.
The current song name and number appear at the left of the display.
Notice also that the display indicates both the chords (except for song #1,
“StarWars”) and the melody notes (in the music staves and the keyboard
diagram) as they change during the song. (Scores for the Demo songs are
provided.)
To stop playback, press the START/STOP (>/■)
button. For information on selecting and playing
individual songs, see page 20.
While the Demo song is playing...
Many features of the PortaTone can be used while the
Demo songs are playing. These include:

notation staff for a note or notes
that are respectively an octave
lower or higher than notated.
NOTE:
For a few specific chords (such as BM7), not all notes may be
shown in the notation section of the display. This is due to
space limitations in the display.
E Measure/Tempo and beat
This shows either the current measure (when
the Song mode is selected) or the current
Tempo value (when the Style mode is selected).
The hand clap icons also flash to indicate the
beats in the measure during song or style
playback. (See page 22.)
F Chord
When a song is being played back, this indicates
the current chord root and type. It also indi-
cates chords played in the ACMP section of the
keyboard when the Style mode and auto ac-
companiment are on.
G Song/Voice/Style name and number
This portion of the display indicates the name
and number of the currently selected song,
voice, or style. When other functions of the
PortaTone are selected, it briefly shows the
function name and current value or setting.
B Overall function bar indicator
The PortaTone has seven Overall functions or
controls. The currently selected function is
indicated by a dark bar that appears next to its
name (printed on the panel).

There are three ways to select voices: 1) directly
entering the voice number with the numeric
keypad, 2) using the +/- keys to step up and
down through the voices, or 3) pressing the
VOICE button to advance through the voice
numbers.
Using the numeric keypad
Enter the digits of the voice number as printed
on the panel. For example, to select voice #42,
press “4” on the numeric keypad, then “2.”
Using the +/- keys
Press the + key to select the next voice number,
and press the - key to select the previous voice.
Holding down either key continuously scrolls up
or down through the numbers. The +/- keys
have a “wrap around” feature. For example,
pressing the + key from the voice 100 returns to
voice 1.
Using the VOICE button
Press the VOICE button to select the next voice
number. (This functions exactly the same as the
+ button.)
NOTE:
Each voice is automatically called up with the most suitable
octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one voice
may sound higher or lower than another voice at the same
key.

Selecting and Playing Songs —
The Song Mode
The Song mode features 100 special songs that have been created using the rich
and dynamic sounds of the PortaTone.
The songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with them on
the keyboard. A Voice Change function lets you set whether the keyboard voice changes or not with
the voice changes in the song itself. Also, by using the Minus One function, you can “mute” the
original melody and play it manually on the keyboard yourself.
Selecting and Playing a Song
Select the Song mode.
Press the SONG button.
Select the desired song number.
Use the numeric keypad. The basic categories of songs and
their numbers are shown at the left of the panel.
Song numbers can be selected in the same way as with the
voices (see page 16). You can use the numeric keypad to
directly enter the song number, use the +/- keys to step up
and down through the songs, or press the SONG button to
advance through the song numbers.
Start the selected song.
Press the START/STOP (>/ ) button. As the song plays back,■

Pause or stop playback as needed.
Use the Pause (❙ ❙) and START/STOP ( />■) buttons. Stopping playback does not
cancel the set A/B points or the A/B Repeat function.
Turn off the A/B Repeat func-
tion.
Press the button. This can be done
either when the song is stopped or during play-
back.
HINT:
• You can also set the A/B Repeat function while the song is stopped. Simply use the r f/ buttons to select the measures for the
A and B points in the song, then start playback.
• While the song is playing back (but before setting the A/B points), try slowing down the Tempo (page 21). This makes it easier
to accurately set the A and B points. Slowing down the Tempo also makes it easier to practice the parts you want to learn.
• To set the A point at the beginning of a song, press the button before starting song playback.
NOTE:
Selecting a different song number (or changing to the Style mode) automatically cancels the A/B Repeat function.
Set point B (the end point of
the section).
Press the button once again, at the
ending point of the section to be repeated. The
selected phrase repeats indefinitely until stopped.

simply pressing the MELODY GUIDE button.
To stop the song, press the START/STOP ( / ) button.>■
Voice Change
The Voice Change function allows you to set whether or not the keyboard voice changes automati-
cally with the melody voice of the song. It is especially useful when used with Melody Guide, since it
determines what voice sounds the melody when you play the keyboard. When set to “Off,” you can
select from the 100 voices of the PortaTone for playing the melody from the keyboard.
Select a song.
With the Song mode active, select the desired song.
(See page 20.)
Change the Voice Change setting.
Press the VOICE CHANGE button to turn Voice
Change on or off.
Settings:
VC On
When Voice Change is set to On, the voice played from the
keyboard changes automatically with the melody voice of
the song. Each song is programmed with an initial voice,
and many have voice changes within the song itself.
Setting this to on ensures that the voice played from the
keyboard remains the same as the voice (or voices)
programmed to the song.
VC Off
This turns the Voice Change function off. Use this setting
when you wish to select a voice (or voices) yourself,
independent from the selections programmed to the song.
NOTE:
The songs of the PortaTone often use special voices that are
not selectable from the panel controls. These voices are
indicated by the letters “SG” in the display.

indicate Sync-Start stand-by), then press any key in the
ACMP section of the keyboard (or any key when accompa-
niment is off).

scribed in steps 1 - 3 on page 28.
Change chords using the auto accompaniment feature.
Try playing a few successive single notes with your left hand, and notice how the bass and chord
accompaniment change with each key you play. You can also play full chords to control the auto
accompaniment. (Refer to page 33 for more information on how to use auto accompaniment.)
HINT:
The ACMP ON/OFF button can also be used to turn off and on
the bass/chord accompaniment while playing — allowing you
to create dynamic rhythmic breaks in your performance.
NOTE:
Chords played in the ACMP section of the keyboard are also
detected and played when the accompaniment is stopped. In
effect, this gives you a “split keyboard,” with bass and chords
in the left hand and the normally selected voice in the right.
Changing the Tempo
The Tempo of song (and style) playback can be adjusted over a range of 40 - 240 bpm (beats per
minute). For instructions on changing the Tempo, see page 21.
NOTE:
Each style has been given a default or standard tempo. When style playback is stopped and a different style is selected, the tempo
returns to the default setting of the new style. When switching styles during playback, the last tempo setting is maintained. (This
allows you to keep the same tempo, even when changing styles.)

Selecting and Playing Styles — The Style Mode
Using Auto Accompaniment — Multi Fingering
The auto accompaniment function automatically generates bass and chord accompaniment for you
to play along with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can change the chords of the accompa-
niment by playing keys in the ACMP section of the keyboard using either the “Single Finger” or
“Fingered” method. With Single Finger you can simply play a one-, two- or three-finger chord
indication (see Single Finger Chords below). The Fingered technique is that of conventionally playing
all the notes of the chord. Whichever method you use, the PortaTone “understands” what chord you
indicate and then automatically generates the accompaniment.
Single Finger Chords
Chords that can be produced in Single Finger
operation are major, minor, seventh and minor
seventh. The illustration below shows how to
produce the four chord types. (The key of C is
used here as an example; other keys follow the
same rules. For example, B 7 is played as Bb b
and A.)
Fingered Chords
Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized
in the Fingered mode.
To play a major chord: Press the root
note of the chord.
To play a minor chord: Press the root
note together with any black key to the
left of it.
To play a seventh chord: Press the root
note together with any white key to the
left of it.
To play a minor seventh chord: Press
the root note together with any white
and black keys to the left of it (three
keys altogether).

■ Fingered Chords in the Key of C
NOTE:
If the chord is inverted (i.e., C-E-G is played as G-C-E), the
PortaTone will still recognize it as a C chord. The chord
recognition system also has the following rules and excep-
tions:
• Minor 6th chords are recognized only in root position,
however; all other inversions are interpreted as minor 7th/
flatted 5th.
• If augmented and diminished 7th chords are inverted,
the lowest note will be recognized as the root.
• 7th flatted 5th chords may be played with the lowest
note as the root or the flatted 7th.
• Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are inter-
preted as simple augmented and diminished.
NOTE:
The following chords are not recognized : B minor 6, B minorb
6, and B augmented.

The One Touch Setting function automatically selects an appropriate voice for playing with the style
you select. In other words, when One Touch Setting is on, the voice automatically changes when you
change the style.
Select a style.
Select one of the styles, as described in steps 1 -
2 on page 28.
Turn on the One Touch Setting function.
Press the OTS button so that “OTS On” appears briefly in the
display.
Play the style.
Since Sync-Start is automatically set to On when One Touch Setting
is on, playing a key in the ACMP section of the keyboard starts the
style.
To turn One Touch Setting off, press the button again (so that “OTS
Off” appears in the display).
When One Touch Setting is on, the following settings are auto-
matically changed/made:
• Main voice (set to match the selected style)
• Multi Pad bank
• Tempo
• Accompaniment Volume
• Accompaniment On
• Sync-Start On (set to standby when rhythm is stopped)

Chord Guide
The Chord Guide functions of the PortaTone provide powerful, easy-to-use tools for learning chords
and chord relationships. Chord Guide features two different types of operation: Smart and Dictio-
nary.
Smart
The Smart type allows you to set the basic key for the chord accompaniment. Once this is set, you
can simply press single keys in the scale and have harmonically appropriate chords played automati-
cally. For example, with the key set to C, playing an D will result in an D minor chord (rather than a
harmonically inappropriate D major).
The Smart type is not only a convenient feature for easily playing various chord progressions in a
specified key, it’s also an excellent learning tool to find out how chords relate to each other harmoni-
cally in a given key.
Select a style.
Select one of the styles, as described in steps 1 - 2 on page 28.
Select the Smart Chord Guide.
Press the CHORD GUIDE button so that “Smart”
appears briefly in the display.
NOTE:
The accompaniment is turned on automatically when Smart is
selected.
Set the desired key.
Use the +/- buttons on the numeric keypad to
step through the available keys, or use the nu-
meric keypad to directly enter the number corre-
sponding to the desired key (see chart below).

Play the style, and play single note chords (root notes) in the
ACMP section.
Start style playback in the desired way. (For specific instructions on starting styles, see page 29.)
For example, when the key has been set to F major, pressing the following single notes results in
the chord progression below:

These convenient pads let you instantly trigger various musical and rhythmic phrases as you play the
PortaTone. There are a total of 40 different sounds or phrases (20 banks, with two pad sounds for
each bank). The phrases play back at the same speed as the Tempo setting, and they also change
harmonically along with the accompaniment chords (both in the Style and Song modes).
Select the Pad function in the Overall
menu.
Press one of the OVERALL / buttons, repeatedly ifs t
necessary, until MULTI PAD is selected in the display.
Select the desired bank.
Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or
decrease the bank number. Holding down
either button continuously increases or de-
creases the value. For a complete list of the
available banks and their contents, see page 46.
Play the Multi Pads.
Press one of the Pads. The phrase plays uninterrupted until it
is finished. Pressing it repeatedly (before the phrase com-
pletely plays back) creates a “stutter” effect.
In the Song and Style modes, melodic-type sounds correctly
follow the chord changes. All sounds play back in perfect
time with the current Tempo setting. When OTS is on,
appropriate Multi Pad banks for the selected style are auto-
matically called up.

Troubleshooting
Problem
When the PortaTone is turned on or
off, a popping sound is temporarily
produced.
The sound of the voices or rhythms
seems unusual or strange.
There is no sound even when the
keyboard is played or when a Song is
being played back.
When one of the PIANO styles is
selected and started, the rhythm
cannot be heard.
Not all notes are heard when playing
a number of notes simultaneously.
The Pad sound is cut off or sounds
unusual.
The sound of the voice changes from
note to note.
The melody part of the song doesn’t
play.
The song plays back to a certain point
and then pauses.
The notes shown in the music staves
and keyboard diagram in the display
do not match the keys actually
played.
Possible Cause and Solution
This is normal and indicates that the PortaTone is
receiving electrical power.
The battery power is too low. Replace the batteries.
(See page 9.)
Check that nothing is connected to the PHONES/AUX
OUT jack on the rear panel. When a set of head-
phones is plugged into this jack, no sound is output.
This is normal; the accompaniment of the style can
only be heard when accompaniment is set to ON and
keys are played in the ACMP section of the keyboard.
Too many keys are pressed at the same time. The
PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 16
notes.
The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 16
notes. If a style or song is playing back at the same
time a Pad is played, some notes/sounds of the Pad
may be omitted (or “stolen”) from the accompani-
ment or song.
The AWM tone generation method uses multiple
recordings (samples) of an instrument across the
range of the keyboard; thus, the actual sound of the
voice may be slightly different from note to note.
Check that Melody Guide is turned off.
Check that Melody Guide is not set to “Waiting.”
When auto accompaniment is on, the display shows
the specific notes of the chords you play in the ACMP
section of the keyboard. If you play a single finger
chord, or an inversion of a chord, the corresponding
chord will be appropriately displayed — even if the
display does not exactly match the pressed keys.
