About the PSR Performers Not only can you create beautiful music on your PSR or Tyros, you can capture your creations in a Song file. You can also download songs that other PSR owners have created and listen to their performance right on your own keyboard. That is precisely what the "PSR Performers" section provides -- hundreds of songs that you can hear played on your PSR or Tyros or Clavinova. All of the PSR Performers are shown above. Click on the any of the PSR Performer buttons and you will jump to the Performer's page where you have access not only to the current volume, but all earlier volumes as well.
Song Volumes. .Each of the PSR performers has contributed one
or more "volumes" of 10 songs. Initially, Performers were recording
primarily on the PSR-2000, but over time, new keyboards were acquired
and new Performers joined. Now you will find songs recorded on a variety
of Yamaha keyboards including the Tyros2, Tyros1, PSR-3000, PSR-2100,
PSR-2000, PSR-9000, PSR-740 and PSR-540, even the CVP-209. You'll
hear an amazing variety of sounds and songs and playing techniques, many
of which will give you ideas you can use in your own playing. You
may also be surprised at the wide spectrum of people who play and enjoy
the
These songs, all midi files, should be played on your PSR keyboard. You can play then on your PC, but the voices will not match the sound that is on the PSR keyboard from which the song was recorded and the results will be generally disappointing. Copy the songs from this CD to a floppy disk (or USB flash drive if you have a 3000 or Tyros2). Put that floppy disk in your PSR. There, you will hear the songs just as the performer recorded them. If an artist is recording on a PSR-3000 and you have a PSR-3000, the songs will sound exactly like they did for the performer (not counting differences in speakers). If the songs were recorded on the PSR-740, they can be played on later PSRs and will sound fine, but here, too, they will not sound as good as they would on a PSR-740. Songs recorded on the Tyros, PSR-3000 or the Tyros2 are likely to include the use of mega voices. These sound fine on the Tyros or Tyros2 or 3000, but may not sound as good on earlier keyboards. However, you can use Michael Bedesem's Midiplayer program to convert songs created on one keyboard for use on another keyboard. If you have an earlier keyboard, this will replace the mega voices with voices you do have. It also replaces the OTS voices you may not have on your keyboard with similar voices you do have. Make Your Own Tape or CD One final suggestion ... if you connect your keyboard to your stereo and play these songs using the Chain Play option, you can record the volume right to a cassette. That way, you can take your PSR music with you wherever you go. If you don't have a casette any more, but do have a computer, you can connect your PSR or Tyros output directly to the input of your sound card and capture these midi files as wav files. These, in turn, can be used to create a standard audio CD or converted to MP3 files that can be moved to your MP3 player. About two volumes (20 songs) can fill up a single CD. Of course, those with a Tyros2 or the new PSRS-900 can play these midi files and record directly to a WAV file on the USB drives.

arranger keyboards. Some play by ear, some sight read, some use
the full-fingered chord technique, some use only single-finger chords,
some perform in public, others just play at home, but in all cases, they
produce some wonderful music indeed. Each performer's page has a short
biography and photograph of the player. You may now have a chance
to put a face to a name you are familiar with from the various discussion
forums.
