Cleaning
● Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. To
remove stubborn stains, use a slightly moistened
cloth.
● Never use alcohol, thinner, or other chemical
solvents, since they will damage the finish. Also,
do not leave vinyl chloride material on the PortaTone
for a long time, since it may adhere to the exterior.
NOTE
Yamaha is not responsible for damage caused by improper
usage.
Precautions — Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your new PortaTone is a fine musical instrument — and should be treated as such. Handle it with care and
common sense, and it will give you years of enjoyment.
Location
● Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or other sources
of heat. Never leave it inside a car where it can get
very hot. Also avoid highly humid or dusty places.
Interference From Electromagnetic Fields
● Do not use your PortaTone close to television sets,
radios or similar equipment since this may cause
interference noise in the other appliance.
Handling
● Protect your PortaTone from strong impact. Be
careful not to drop it or place heavy objects on it.
Avoid applying excessive force to the controls and
keys.
When Not Using the PortaTone
● After use, always turn off the POWER switch. When
not using your PortaTone for long periods, be sure
to remove the batteries to avoid damage through
battery leakage.

Power Requirements
Your PortaTone can run either on batteries (sold sepa-
rately) or on normal household current by using the
optional Yamaha PA-3/4/40 Power Adaptor.
Using an AC Power Adaptor
To connect your PortaTone to a wall socket, you will
need the optionally available Yamaha PA-3/4/40 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 10-12V IN jack on
the back of your PortaTone.
Using Batteries
Inserting Batteries
Turn the instrument upside-down and remove the
battery compartment lid. Insert six 1.5-volt size “D”
batteries as shown in the illustration, making sure that
the positive and negative terminals are properly aligned.
Replace the lid.
Accessory Jacks
Using Headphones
For private practicing and playing without disturbing
others, connect a set of stereo headphones to the rear
panel HEADPHONES/AUX OUT jack. Sound from the
built-in speaker system is automatically cut off when
you insert a headphone plug into this jack.
Getting Started
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.
Never mix old and new or different types of batteries
(e.g., alkaline and manganese).
Auto Power OFF
The PSR-73 features an Auto Power OFF function that
automatically turns the power OFF if the instrument is
not used for approximately 30 minutes. This functions
whether batteries or the AC power adaptor is used.

Connecting a Keyboard Amplifier
or Stereo System
After making sure the PortaTone and any external
devices are turned off, 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 HEADPHONES/AUX OUT
jack of the PortaTone.
The Music Stand
Insert the bottom edge of the music stand into the slot
located at the top rear of the PSR-73 control panel.

Playing Your New PortaTone
Turning on the Power
Press the POWER ON/OFF button to turn on the
power of the PortaTone. Whenever the power is turned
on, Voice 01 (PIANO) is automatically selected.
Selecting a Mode
Your PortaTone has three different operating modes:
Voice, Style and Song — each selected from the corre-
sponding panel buttons. VOICE
lets you select and
play a Voice. STYLE
lets you select and play a setting
that includes a rhythm/accompaniment pattern. SONG
lets you select and play either a Song or a Jam Track
pattern.
To select one of the modes:
Press the button corresponding to the desired mode.
For now, press SONG
to select the Song mode.
Playing a Song
in the Song Mode
A variety of Songs and special Jam Tracks have been
recorded to your PortaTone to give you a taste of what
you can do with the instrument, and to provide music
and patterns for you to play along with.
To select and play one of the Songs:
1. With the Song mode selected, use the Numeric
Keypad
to enter the desired Song or Jam
Track number. Be sure to enter a two-digit
number, as is printed next to each song on the
panel. For example, to select Song 09, first
press “0” on the Numeric Keypad, then “9.”
You can also use the +/– buttons on the Numeric
Keypad to step up or down through the preset
numbers; holding down the appropriate button
continuously changes the number. Note that the
+/– buttons have a “wrap around” feature. For
example, pressing the + button from the last
number returns to Song 01. (Song 01 is also
automatically selected when you turn the power
on.)
This section briefly shows you how to use the various controls on the panel of the PortaTone.

About the MULTI DISPLAY
As mentioned above, the dots in the MULTI DISPLAY
flash in time with the rhythm, and the indication is
used when a Song or Style plays back. This flashing
provides a visual indication of both the tempo and
the time signature of the rhythm.
About the Tempo Functions
Tempo Values
As mentioned above, the tempo value is shown
briefly in the MULTI DISPLAY when one of the TEMPO
buttons is pressed. The displayed tempo range is
from 10 to 60; in actual tempo values, the range is
from 40 to 240 beats per minute. (Each step in the
tempo adjustment corresponds to 4 beats per
minute.)
Default Tempos
Each Song and Style has been given a default or
standard tempo. If you change the tempo, you can
set it back to the original default setting, by pressing
both TEMPO buttons simultaneously. Also, the
tempo of a Song or Style returns to the default
setting when selecting a different Song or Style. (The
set tempo remains, however, when switching Styles
during playback.) When you turn on the power of
the PortaTone, the tempo is automatically set to the
default setting of Style 01.

Voice Mode
The Voice mode features 100 authentic Voices.
Many of these Voices have special preset charac-
teristics or embellishments. The Voices are divided
into various categories depending on their charac-
teristics or the effects used.
Dual Voices (#41 - #56) feature two Voices mixed
together in a layer for rich ensemble sounds. Split
Voices (#57 - #67) also have two Voices, but rather
than being layered, each is played from a different
range of the keyboard. Sustain Voices (#68 - #72)
extend the sound by adding a natural, slow re-
lease. Harmony Voices (#73 - #85) have an addi-
tional one-, two- or three-note harmony added to
the original monophonic Voice. Finally, Echo
Voices (#86 - #00) have an echo effect that adds
delayed repeats to the original Voice.
Included in the Voices are special PERCUSSION
Voices (#40 and #00) that lets you play various
drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard.
(Refer to the Percussion Assign List page 10.)
Selecting a Voice
1. Press the VOICE button to select the Voice mode.
2.Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired
Voice number.
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.
3.Play the newly selected Voice. To change to
another Voice, repeat step 2 above.
You can also play rhythm Styles in the Voice mode
by simply pressing the START/STOP button. The
Style last selected from the Style mode will be
played.

VOICE
NOTE
The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12 notes.
(Depending on the Voice selected, fewer notes may be
available.) This includes not only the Voices played from the
keyboard, but also the notes in a Style pattern, and so on.
Thus, if you play too many notes at one time, some may not
sound and/or others may be cancelled.
About the Harmony Voices
Since Harmony Voices are designed to automatically
play two or more notes with the notes you play on
the keyboard, only one note can be played on the
keyboard at a time. If several notes are played
together, only the last note or highest note played
will be heard.
The type of harmony used depends on the Voice
that is selected. When a Style or Song/Jam Track is
not being played back, the basic key for the harmony
is always C. When a Style is played or the Stopped
Accompaniment function is active, the harmony
changes according to the chord played with the left
hand. When a Song is played back, the harmony
changes according to the chord progression of the
Song or Jam Track.

Style Mode
4. With the rhythm running, you’re ready to try out
the Auto Accompaniment feature. Try playing a
few single notes with your left hand, and notice
how the bass and chord accompaniment change
with each key you play. (Refer to the boxed
sections on pages 7 and 8 for more information on
how to use Auto Accompaniment.)
5.Use the TEMPO buttons to change the tempo of the
Style as it’s playing. (For more information on
the Tempo functions, see page 4.)
6.While the Style is playing, you can add variation
to the rhythm by playing special Fill In patterns.
To play a Fill In pattern, press the SYNC-START/
FILL IN button.
NOTE
The Fill In pattern may not play precisely when you press the
SYNC-START/FILL IN button, but instead starts on the beat
immediately following your press of the button. Also, de-
pending on when you press the button, only a portion of the
Fill In might be played. Both of these situations are normal
and are done to ensure that the Fill In pattern complements
the basic rhythm, rather than disrupting it.
7.To stop the rhythm, press the START/STOP
button again.
Pressing the START/STOP button while the
rhythm is playing produces a simple ending
phrase. This also applies to playing Jam Track
patterns in the Song mode.
The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/
accompaniment patterns — as well as Voice set-
tings appropriate for each pattern — for various
popular music styles, as listed on the panel. A total
of 100 different Styles are available, and are
divided into ten different categories. Each rhythm
pattern also has a specially created companion Fill In
pattern, which can be played by using the SYNC-
START/FILL IN button.
Auto Accompaniment features built into the
rhythms add the excitement of instrumental
backing to your performance, letting you control
the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto
Accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard
into two sections: The upper is used for playing a
melody line, and the lower (labeled “AUTO ACCOMP.
SECTION” on the keyboard, including keys C1
through F2) is for the Auto Accompaniment
function.
Selecting a Style
1. Press the STYLE button to select the Style mode.
2.Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired
Style number.
3.You can start the selected rhythm by pressing the
START/STOP button.
The PortaTone also has a Synchro Start function
that allows you to start the rhythm by simply
pressing a key on the keyboard. To use Synchro
Start, first press the SYNC-START/FILL IN
button, then press one of the keys in the AUTO
ACCOMP. SECTION.

Single Finger Chords
Chords that can be produced in Single Finger opera-
tion 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 B and A.)

Press the root note together with
any black key to the left of it.
Press the root note together with
any white and black key to the
left of it (three keys altogether).
Press the root note together with
any white key to the left of it.
NOTE
Chords played in the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION of the keyboard
are also detected and played when the accompaniment is
stopped (Stopped Accompaniment function). In this
condition, the Voices used for the bass and chords are
automatically selected.
NOTE
To use the Minus One function with one of the Styles, press
the MINUS ONE button. (The LED next to the button lights.)
Minus One cancels all chord accompaniment, leaving only the
bass and basic rhythm of the Style.

Setting Auto Accompaniment to Single
Finger or Fingered
Though detection of the Single Finger and Fingered
methods is automatic, you can set Auto Accompani-
ment to function exclusively in either the Single
Finger or Fingered mode.
To set Auto Accompaniment to Single Finger, turn
the power off, then hold down the “–” button on the
Numeric Keypad and simultaneously turn the power
on. “SF” (Single Finger) briefly appears in the MULTI
DISPLAY.
NOTE
In Single Finger, the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION is set between
the C1 key (the lowest key) and the C 2 key.
To set Auto Accompaniment to Fingered, follow the
same steps, holding down the “+” button instead.
“F” (Fingered) briefly appears in the MULTI DISPLAY.
To switch back to Multi Fingering operation, simply
turn the power off and on again.
Using the Auto Accompani-
ment Function/Multi Fingering
The Auto Accompaniment function automatically gener-
ates bass and chord accompaniment for you to play along
with, by using Multi Fingering operation. You can change
the chords of the accompaniment by playing keys in the
AUTO ACCOMP. 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 automati-
cally generates the accompaniment.
99.11.17, 3:45 PMPage 8
Fingered Chords
Using the key of C as an example, the chart below shows the types of chords that can be recognized in the Fin-
gered mode.
Fingered Chords in the Key of C
Notes enclosed in parentheses are optional; the chords will be recognized without them.
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.
• 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 7th.
• 9th chords are recognized only in root position; all other inversions are interpreted as suspended 4th.
• Augmented 7th and diminished 7th chords are interpreted as simple augmented and diminished.
• The PortaTone also has a Chord Cancel function to stop the chord accompaniment but allow the rhythm pattern to continue playing.
To use Chord Cancel, simultaneously press any three consecutive notes in the AUTO ACCOMP. SECTION; for example, C, C and D.

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.
To turn on the One Touch Setting function, press the
ONE TOUCH SETTING button. (The LED next to the
button lights.)
To turn the function off, press the button again.
NOTE
When the One Touch Setting is on, selecting another Style will
automatically reset the tempo to the default of the selected

About the Minus One Function
Minus One, as its name implies, takes away the
melody part of the Song, allowing you to play that
part yourself. You can turn Minus One on before
starting a Song, or do it even while a Song is playing.
To help you play the “missing” melody, scores for
all Songs have been provided; see pages 13-22.
To use the Minus One function with the selected
Song, press the MINUS ONE button (either before
starting the Song or while it is playing). (The LED next
to the button lights.)
One Touch Setting in the Song Mode
The One Touch Setting function works with the
Minus One function and automatically selects an
appropriate Voice for playing the melody along with
the Song you select. Though the Minus One function
is not used with the Jam Track patterns, One Touch
Setting works the same way with Jam Track, auto-
matically selecting an appropriate Voice.
To turn on the One Touch Setting function, press the
ONE TOUCH SETTING button. (The LED next to the
button lights.)
To turn the function off, press the button again.
If playback is not stopped, all Songs play back
repeatedly in succession, indefinitely. (However, if
Minus One is on, only the selected Song repeatedly
plays back.) If a Jam Track pattern is selected, only
the selected pattern repeats indefinitely.
The Song mode features special Songs and Jam
Track patterns that have been created using the
rich sounds and sophisticated accompaniment
functions of the PortaTone.
The Songs are generally for your listening
enjoyment; however, you can also play along with
them on the keyboard. Also, by using the Minus
One function, you can “mute” the original melody
and play it manually on the keyboard yourself.
The Jam Track patterns in this mode let you “jam”
or play along with a variety of dynamic rhythm
styles and chord changes.
Selecting and Playing a Song
or Jam Track Pattern
1. Press the SONG button to select the Song mode.
2.Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired Song
or Jam Track number.
3.Start the selected Song or Jam Track by pressing
the START/STOP button.
You can also start the selected Song or Jam Track
pattern with the Synchro Start function (as in the
Style mode) by simply pressing any key of the
keyboard.
4. If you want to change to another Song or Jam
Track pattern, repeat step 2 above.
5.To stop the Song or pattern, press the START/
STOP button again.

Problem
When the PortaTone is turned on or off, a buzzing
sound is temporarily produced.
The sound of the voices or rhythms seems unusual or
strange.
Not all notes are heard when playing a number of
notes simultaneously.
The sound of the Voice changes from note to note.
The power cannot be turned on.
Possible Cause and Solution
This is normal and indicates that power is flowing into
the PortaTone.
The battery power is too low. Replace the batteries.
Too many keys are pressed at the same time. The
PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12
notes. (See the note on page 5.)
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.
Quick, successive pressing of the POWER ON/OFF
button may fail to turn the power on. When using the
POWER ON/OFF button, wait a short time between
successive presses.
