BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Power Supply
Your X3500 will run either from batteries or the optional power
adapter. Follow the instructions below according to the power
source you intend to use.
Using Batteries
Six 1.5V SUM-1, “D” size, R-20 or equivalent alkaline batteries
(sold separately) must first be installed in the X3500 battery
compartment.
1. Open the battery compartment cover located on the instrument’s
bottom panel.
2. Insert the six batteries, being careful to follow the polarity
markings on the inside of the compartment.
3. Replace the compartment cover, making sure that it locks
firmly in place.
Caution:
1. When the batteries run down, replace them with a com-
plete set of six new batteries. NEVER mix old and new
I batteries.
Z. To prevent possible damage due to battery leakage,
remove the batteries from the instrument if it is not to
be used for an extended period of time.
Using the Power Adapter
Plug the DC output cable from the PA-4 or PA-40 Power Adapter
into the DC IN (9— 12V) jack on the rear panel of the X3500,
then plug the PA-4 or PA-40 into a convenient wall AC power
socket.
Use ONLY the optional Yamaha PA-4 or PA-40 Power Adapter
to power your instrument from the AC mains.
Setting Up the Music Stand
Insert the two pegs protruding from the bottom edge of the music
stand into the two holes located at the top of the X3500 control
panel.
Taking Care of Your PortaTone
Your PortaTone will give you years of playing pieasure if you
follow the simple rules given below:
1. Avoid placing the PortaTone in areas that are subject to exces-
sive humidity or heat. Do not leave the instrument near heaters
or in a car exposed to direct sunlight, for example.
2. Avoid locations in which the instrument is likely to be exposed
to excessive dust or moisture.
3. Connections between the PortaTone and any other device
must be made with both pieces of equipment turned OFF.
4. Unplug the Portatone from the AC power outlet when it is
not being used.
5. Do not subject the instrument to strong physical shocks, and
avoid placing heavy objects on it.
6. Use a soft cloth, dry or slightly damp, for cleaning. Never use
chemicals such as benzine or thinner.
7. Since the PortaTone contains digital circuitry, it may cause
interference if placed to close to radio or television receivers.
If this occurs, move the instrument further away from the
affected equipment. |

67 AUX. OUT L/L +R and R Jacks
These jacks can be used to deliver the output of the X3500 to
a keyboard amplifier, stereo sound system, mixing console or
tape recorder. When plugs are inserted into both jacks, the left-
channel sound is delivered via the L/L +R jack and the right-
channel sound is delivered via the R jack. If a plug is inserted
into the L/L +R jack only, the left- and right-channel sound
is mixed and delivered via that jack. The L/L +R jack should
be used when the X3500 is to be connected to a mono sound
system (i.e. a keyboard amplifier, etc.)

EXP. PEDAL Jack
An optional Yamaha EP-1 Expression Pedal can be connected
to this jack to allow foot expression (swell) control.
SUSTAIN Jack
An optional Yamaha FC-5 footswitch can be connected here for
foot sustain control. The footswitch functions like the damper
pedal on a piano—press for sustain, release for normal sound.
MIDI IN and OUT Connectors
The MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external
MIDI device which can be used to control the X3500. The MIDI
OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the X3500
(e.g. note data produced by playing the keyboard).
More details on MIDI are given in “MIDI FUNCTIONS” on
page 18.
ENJOY THE
DEMONSTRATION
To give you an idea of the X3500’s sophisticated capabilities, it
is programmed with a demonstration sequence which plays
automatically while demonstrating a number of the instrument's
voices.
1. Switch ON
Slide the POWER switch to the ON position. The VOICE
and ACCOMPANIMENT STYLE displays will light when
the power is ON.

DEMON
STRATION
In the X3500, the term “orchestra voice” refers to the voice that
you normally play on the keyboard. “Solo”” and “bass” voices
can also be selected, but these functions will be described later
in appropriate parts of this Owner's Guide. Before you attempt
to select an orchestra voice as described below, check to make
sure than the ORCHESTRA voice part indicator (to the right of
the VOICE display) is lit. If any other indicator is lit, use the
VOICE SELECT PART SELECT button to select the ORCHES-
TRA part.

Selecting an ORCHESTRA Voice
The X3500 provides two methods of selecting any of its 100
voices:
1) Choose one of the 100 voices—numbered “00” through AN
—shown on the VOICE LIST then enter its number using
the numbered VOICE SELECT buttons. To select XYLO-
PHONE (number 12), for example, first press “17” and then
“2 The number “12”*? should then be displayed on the
VOICE display.
2) The + and — buttons in the VOICE SELECT group can
be used to increment (increase by one) or decrement (decrease
by one) the current voice number. Press the + button briefly
to select the voice one number higher than the current voice,
or the — button to select the voice one number lower than
the current voice. If you hold the + or — button down, the
voice number will increment or decrement continuously—
simply release the button when the desired voice number has
been reached.
The selected voice can now be played on the instrument's key-
board.

e The X3500 has ‘‘8-note polyphony.” This means that up
to 8 notes can be produced simultaneously. When the
SOLO voice, AUTO BASS CHORD, or CUAL VOICE func-
tion is not used, up to 8 notes can be played simultane-
ously using the selected ORCHESTRA voice. The functions
listed above and some others use some of the available
notes, thus reducing the total number of voices that can
be played via the keyboard.

Adjusting the Volume
Adjust the MASTER VOLUME control while playing to set the
desired overall volume level.
The other volume controls--RHYTHM, BASS, CHORD, OR-
CHESTRA and SOLO-— allow the volume of the corresponding
parts to be adjusted in relation to each other. The ORCHESTRA
VOLUME control, for example, can be used to adjust the volume
of the selected ORCHESTRA voice. The other volume controls
will be described in the appropriate sections of this Owner’s

Transposition: Shifting Pitch in
Semitone Steps
The X3500 TRANSPOSE function makes it possible to shift the
pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals
up to a maximum of six semitones. ‘‘Transposing’’ the pitch
of the X3500 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key
signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard
to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.
The TRANSPOSE A and V¥ buttons are used for transposition.
Press the A button to increase the pitch of the keyboard, or the
V button to lower the pitch. The selected degree of transposition
will be displayed on the ACCOMPANIMENT STYLE display
while the TRANSPOSE A or Y button is pressed, and for
approximately 3 seconds after either TRANSPOSE button is
released.
The transposition range is from — 06 to 06, with — 06 correspond-
ing to downward transposition by 6 semitones, and 06 correspond-
jag to upward transposition by 6 semitones (see chart below).
7s the “normal” keyboard pitch value. The normal transpose
value (00) can be recalled at any time by pressing both the
TRANSPOSE A and V¥ buttons at the same time (the transpose
value is automatically set to 00 whenever the power switch is
turned ON).

Tuning: Fine Pitch Control
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the X3500 over a + 50-
cent range in approximately 3-cent intervals. A hundred ‘‘cents’’
equals one semitone, so the tuning range provided allows fine
tuning of overall pitch over a range of approximately a semi-
tone. Pitch control is useful for tuning the X3500 to match other
instruments or recorded music.
Press the PITCH A button to tune up, or the PITCH V button
to tune down. The selected degree of tuning will be displayed
on the ACCOMPANIMENT STYLE display while the PITCH
A or ¥ button is pressed, and for approximately 3 seconds after
either PITCH button is released.
The transposition range is from — 16 to 16, with — 16 correspond-
ing to downward tuning by approximately 50 cents (one quarter
tone), and 16 corresponding to upward transposition by approxi-
mately 50 cents. O is the “normal” pitch value, at which the
A3 key (the A above middle C) produces ‘‘concert pitch’’: 440
Hertz. The normal pitch value (0) can be recalled at any time
by pressing both the PITCH A and Y buttons at the same time
(the pitch value is automatically set to 0 whenever the power
switch is turned ON).

SPLIT KEYBOARD OPERATION
In addition to an ORCHESTRA voice (described in the previous
section), the X3500 makes it possible to select a SOLO voice
which can be played alone, together with the ORCHESTRA
voice, or on the upper (right-hand) section of the keyboard while
the ORCHESTRA voice is played on the lower (left-hand) section
of the keyboard (split keyboard). The SOLO voice is a “mono-
phonic”” voice, meaning that only one note can be played at a
time. The SOLO voice is therefore ideal for playing single-note
melody lines.
Selecting a SOLO Voice
To select a SOLO voice, first use the VOICE SELECT PART
SELECT button to select SOLO voice (the SOLO indicator to
the right of the VOICE display should light). When this is done,
the number of the current SOLO voice will be displayed on the
VOICE display (PIANO 1 is selected automatically when the
power is initially turned ON).

Orchestration: How the ORCHESTRA
and SOLO Voices are
Combined
Using the ORCHESTRATION buttons* it is possible to combine
and use the selected ORCHESTRA and SOLO voices in a number
of ways.
* The ORCHESTRATION button group includes the DUAL
VOICE button which, although it is an “orchestration fea-
ture, ‘’ has been described under “EFFECTS” on page 7
since it applies only to the ORCHESTRA voice.
ORCHESTRA Voice Only
When the SOLO, ORCHESTRA and TO LOWER button indica-
tors are off, or when only the ORCHESTRA button indicator
is lit, only the selected ORCHESTRA voice will sound. In this
case, the ORCHESTRA voice can be played across the entire
X3500 keyboard (assuming that the AUTO BASS CHORD fea-
ture is off). The indicators are turned on or off alternately by
pressing the corresponding button.

Split Keyboard: ORCHESTRA On Lower and SOLO
On Upper Keyboard
When the TO LOWER button is pressed (causing its ndice
to light), the ORCHESTRA voice is assigned to the “low.
keyboard while the SOLO voice is assigned to the “upper”
keyboard. This means that the ORCHESTRA voice can be played
with the left hand, while a single-note SOLO-voice melody line
can be played with the right hand. The lower and upper key-
board sections are separated by the “split point”? which can be
set between the G#2 and A2 keys or between the F#2 and G2
keys (marked by the “Y” symbols immediately above the key-
board). The F#2/G2 split point is automatically selected when
the power is initially turned ON. To change the split point, press
any of the AUTO BASS CHORD buttons (MANUAL BASS,
FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER) while holding the G¥2 key
(for the G#2/A2 split point) or the F*2 key (for the F#2/G2 split
point).

SOLO Voice Volume Control
The volume of the SOLO voice can be adjusted in relation to
the ORCHESTRA voice and other parts (to be described later)
by using the SOLO VOLUME control.
USING THE X3500 EF-
FECTS AND CONTROLLERS
EFFECTS
Sustain
The X3500 offers two sustain effects—SUSTAIN 1 and SUSTAIN
2. Press the SUSTAIN 1 or SUSTAIN 2 button once (the cor-
responding indicator will light) and notes played on the keyboard
will decay gradually after you lift your fingers from the keys.
Press the SUSTAIN 1 or SUSTAIN 2 button a second time (it’s
indicator will go out) to turn the sustain effect off. The SUSTAIN
2 button produces a longer sustain effect than the SUSTAIN 1
button, although the actual length of the SUSTAIN 1 and
SUSTAIN 2 effects varies from voice to voice.
OQ SUSTAIN 1
O SUSTAIN 2
® The SUSTAIN effect can also be switched ON or OFF using
an optional FC-5 footswitch connected to the rear-panel
SUSTAIN jack.
® SUSTAIN 1 and SUSTAIN 2 cannot be selected simultane-
ously.
e The SUSTAIN effects cannot be applied to accompaniment
or rhythm.
Ensemble
The ensemble effect produces a ‘‘thick’’ multi-instrument sound.
Press the ENSEMBLE button once (it’s indicator will light) to
turn the ensemble effect ON, and a second time (the ENSEMBLE
indicator will go out) to turn the ensemble effect OFF.
OQ ENSEMBLE
(=)
® The actual sound of the ENSEMBLE effect varies according
to the selected voice.
® The ENSEMBLE effect cannot be applied to accompaniment
or rhythm.
Duet
This effect only functions while AUTO BASS CHORD FIN-
GERED or SINGLE FINGER accompaniment is running (see
“Auto Bass Chord Accompaniment” on page 9). The DUET
effect automatically adds harmony notes to notes you play on
the keyboard, producing a ““duet”” type sound. The harmony
notes are automatically selected according to the chord currently
being played by the AUTO BASS CHORD feature. Press the
DUET button once (it’s indicator will light) to turn the duet
effect ON, and a second time (the DUET indicator will go out)
to turn the duet effect OFF.

CD
Dual Voice
This effect is actually included in the ORCHESTRATION button
group, but we’ll include here for convenience. The DUAL VOICE
feature makes it possible to select and play two different voices
simultaneously. To activate the DUAL VOICE feature press the
DUAL VOICE button (the DUAL VOICE button indicator will
light). When the DUAL VOICE feature is ON, the last two voices
selected will sound simultaneously. For example, if you selected
PIANO 1 and then HARP, the PIANO 1 and HARP voices will
be combined. If you then select the VIBES voice, HARP and
VIBES will be combined, and so on. Of course, if you turn the
DUAL VOICE feature OFF (by pressing the DUAL VOICE
button a second time), only the last selected voice will sound.
© DUAL VOICE
CD
® DUAL VOICE cannot be applied to accompaniment or
rhythm.
® When DUAL VOICE is ON, the number of notes that can
be played simultaneously is reduced by half.
CONTROLLERS
Pitch Bend
The PITCH BEND roller located to the lower left of the key-
board offers extra expressive control by allowing you to manually
“bend”” (raise or lower) the pitch of the selected performance
voice. Rotating the PITCH BEND wheel away from you raises
pitch, while moving it toward you lowers pitch. When released,
the PITCH BEND wheel automatically returns to the center
(normal pitch) position. The total pitch bend range is + 200 cents
(100 cents = one semitone).
Bend Down
e The PITCH BEND effect cannot be applied to accompani-
ment or rhythm, or the lower voice in the MANUAL BASS
mode (see page 11).
Roll Bar
The “ROLL BAR” located below the keyboard can be used
for two different expression control functions, selected by the
ROLL BAR buttons to the right of the control panel:
ROLL BAR
o MODULATION © MASTER EXPRESSION
. The ROLL BAR controls modu-
lation (vibrato) depth. Roll the
bar away from you for greater
modulation depth.
… The ROLL BAR controls overall
volume. Roll the bar away from
you for higher volume.

The X3500 provides two methods of selecting any of its 100
accompaniment styles:
1) Choose one of the 100 accompaniment styles—numbered 00°’
through *99?—shown on the ACCOMPANIMENT STYLE
LIST then enter its number using the numbered ACCOMPANI-
MENT STYLE SELECT buttons. To select GOSPEL (number
29), for example, first press “2” and then “9.” The number
“29” should then be displayed on the ACCOMPANIMENT
STYLE display.
2) The + and — buttons in the ACCOMPANIMENT STYLE
SELECT group can be used to increment (increase by one)
or decrement (decrease by one) the current accompaniment
style number. Press the + button briefly to select the accom-
paniment style one number higher than the current accc
paniment style, or the — button to select the accompanimes:
style one number lower than the current accompaniment style.
If you hold the + or — button down, the accompaniment
style number will increment or decrement continuously—simply
release the button when the desired accompaniment style
number has been reached.

TEMPO display (in quarter-note beats per minute) while the
TEMPO A or V button is pressed, and for approximately 3
seconds after either TEMPO button is released.
The available tempo range is from 40 to 280 beats per minute.
Each accompaniment style has a different ‘“‘normal’’ tempo which
can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO A
and Y buttons at the same time (the tempo is automatically

The X3500 includes a sophisticated Auto Bass Chord accom-
paniment system that can provide automated bass and chordal
backing in a number of ways.

The X3500 MANUAL BASS mode provides an alternative split
keyboard mode to that using the ORCHESTRA and SOLO voices
described on page 6. The bass voice assigned to the lower key-
board is monophonic, while a polyphonic ORCHESTRA voice
is played on the upper section of the keyboard. The bass voice
can be played up to the selected split point (indicated by the
“Y” symbol between the F#2 and G2 or G#2 and A2 keys). You
can select any of the X3500’s 100 voices to play on the lower
or upper section of the keyboard—of course, it’s normal to
choose on the available bass voices (voices 66 through 74) for
the lower keyboard.

SOLO STYLEPLAY
This sophisticated feature automatically adds appropriate harmony
notes and effects to a melody you play on the upper keyboard
according to the selected accompaniment style. For example,
with the ROCK’N ROLL 2 style (STYLE 09) the SOLO STYLE-
PLAY feature automatically adds harmony, counter melody and
glissando to what you play. With the BIG BAND 1 style (STYLE
33), a melody you play on the upper keyboard is repeated in
the next measure, creating a “round” or “call and answer”
type effect.
e Only a single note can be played at a time on the X3500

9 THE CUSTOM DRUMMER
The X3500 Custom Drummer feature allows you to create three
original rhythm patterns in addition to the 100 preset accom-
paniment styles. Your original rhythm patterns can be selected
and played at any time, just like the presets.
Creating an Original Rhythm Pattern _
1. Select a Suitable Rhythm
Begin by selecting one of the preset accompaniment styles that
is close to the rhythm you want to create.
e For example, select a WALTZ accompaniment style if you
want to program a rhythm pattern in 3/4 time. You cannot
program a 3/4 rhythm when a 4/4 accompaniment style
is selected, and vice versa. The X3500 accompaniment
styles include 4/4, 3/4, 9/8, 5/4 and 12/8 type rhythm
patterns.
2. Engage the Program Mode
Press the CUSTOM DRUMMER PROGRAM button so that
its LED indicator lights. The select rhythm pattern will begin
playing (a repeating 2-measure pattern)
CUSTOM DRUMMER
PROGRAM
CUSTOM 1 CUSTOM 2
(C ] { D
CUSTOM 3-
CLEAR
(( —])
3. Set the Appropriate Tempo
To make programming as easy as possible, set up an appropri-
ate tempo and volume before you begin. It might be easier
to program your rhythm pattern if you set a relatively slow
tempo.
4. Begin Programming
You can now add new notes to the rhythm by playing the
keys corresponding to the X3500 sound effects (the 16 lowest
keys on the keyboard) and the keys corresponding to the
percussion instruments (the 40 keys from G2 upward). The
sound effects or percussion instruments produced are indicated
by the symbols immediately above the keys (see the “KEY-
BOARD PERCUSSION KEYS”? chart in the previous section).
If you want to create a totally new rhythm, press the CUSTOM
DRUMMER CLEAR button before beginning to program.
This cancels all the instruments in the original accompaniment,
leaving only a closed hi-hat metronome sound (the metronome
sound will not be heard when you play back your rhythm).
The rhythm pattern is two measures long, and the pattern will
continue to repeat so you can add new instruments during
each repeat, if necessary.
e Up to 8 percussion instruments can be played simul-
taneously.
e Some rhythm patterns may change slightly when the
PROGRAM button is turned ON.
5, If You Want to Cancel A Single Instrument
Although you can cancel all instruments in a pattern by press-
ing the CUSTOM DRUMMER CLEAR button, it is also
possible to cancel a single instrument to eradicate a mistake
or simply eliminate an unwanted instrument. While holding
the CANCEL key (the highest key on the X3500 keyboard),
press the key corresponding to the instrument you want to
cancel. The selected instrument should now be cleared from
the pattern.
MO 5 A ES — > + à ALCA AD + > im
6. If You Want to Add Accented Beats
Specified beats of your pattern can be accented simply by
pressing the accent key (the second from highest key on the
X3500 keyboard—with the ‘‘>’’ mark above it) at the ap-
propriate time. To accent the third beat of the first measure,
for example, simply press the accent key on the third beat
of the first measure. All instruments on the selected beat
will be accented. Accents can be cancelled by holding the
CANCEL key and tapping the accent key.
7. Assign the Complete Pattern to a CUSTOM Button
When your custom drum pattern is complete, assign it to
one of the CUSTOM DRUMMER CUSTOM buttons (1
through 3) by pressing the appropriate CUSTOM button (a
pattern previously assigned to that CUSTOM button will be
erased).
8. Stop Programming
Press the PROGRAM button again when your rhythm patte
is complete and you want to stop programming. a»
® The program mode can also be exited by pressing the
accompaniment STOP button.
Playing Back Your Custom
Rhythm Pattern
Once created, your original rhythm pattern can be played back
by pressing the corresponding CUSTOM DRUMMER CUSTOM
(1, 2, or 3) button to select the pattern, and then the START
button. Press the STOP button to stop playback. Your CUSTOM
DRUMMER rhythm can also be used as the basis for Auto Bass
Chord FINGERED or SINGLE FINGER accompaniment.

EXAMPLE
Here's very simple Custom Drummer programming exam-
ple. Start by selecting the DISCO rhythm (accompaniment

7 THE MUSIC
PROGRAMMER
The X3500 MUSIC PROGRAMMER allows you to “record”
and play back anything you play on the keyboard—along with
auto accompaniment if required. You can record the accompani-
ment and your own performance separately or at the same time.
If, for example, you record the accompaniment first and then
record your own performance while listening to playback of the
accompaniment, you're free to use the entire keyboard for your
performance rather than being limited to only the upper key-
board area.

MOVING UP TO MIDI
MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-
standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible
musical instruments and equipment to share musical information
and control one another. This makes it possible to create ‘‘sys-
tems”? of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater
versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.
The X3500 MIDI Connectors _ _—
The X3500 MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an
external MIDI device which can be used to control the X3500.
The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by
the X3500 (e.g. note data produced by playing the keyboard).
00
MIDI
e To connect the X3500 MIDI connectors to other MIDI
devices, always use high-quality MIDI cables such as the
Yamaha MIDI-15 (15-meter type) or MIDI-03 (3-meter
type).
Simple MIDI Control
Most MIDI keyboards (including the X3500, of course) transmit
note information via the MIDI OUT connector whenever a note
is played on the keyboard. If the MIDI OUT connector is con-
nected to the MIDI IN connector of a second keyboard (syn-
thesizer, etc.) or a tone generator (essentially a synthesizer with
no keyboard), the second keyboard or tone generator will respond
precisely to notes played on the original transmitting keyboard.
The result is that you can effectively play two instruments 4m
once, providing thick multi-instrument sounds. The X3500 a...
transmits “program change” data when one of its voices is
selected. Depending on how the receiving device is set up, the
corresponding voice will be automatically selected on the receiv-
ing keyboard or tone generator whenever a voice is selected on
the X3500.
MIDI IN
MIDI Keyboard
or
Tone Generator
X3500
The X3500 is capable of receiving the same MIDI data, so a
second MIDI keyboard connected to the X3500 MIDI IN con-
nector can be used to remotely play the X3500 and select voices
as required.

MIDI Sequence Recording
The same type of musical information transfer described above
is used for MIDI sequence recording. A MIDI sequence recorder
can be used to ‘‘record’’ MIDI data received from a X3500, for
example. When the recorded data is played back, the X3500
automatically ““plays”” the recorded performance in precise detail.

Note: Always use a high-quality MIDI cable to connect MIDI

| than about 15 meters, since cables longer than this
Nr can pick up noise which can cause data errors.
Remote Control/Standard Voice
Mode Selection
The Remote Control mode should be used when the X3500 is
to be connected to a second keyboard or tone generator which
it is to control. In this mode, the X3500 can only receive on a
single MIDI channel.
The Standard Voice mode should be used when the X3500 is
to be used as a tone generator, for example, receiving data from
a second MIDI device (such as a sequencer). In this mode the
X3500 can receive on multiple MIDI channels, each channel
~~rresponding to a different voice.
PROCEDURE:
Pressing the VOICE SELECT number “0” button while holding
the MIDI button alternately selects the remote control and stan-
dard voice modes.

e To synchronize the X3500 to playback of an external
seguencer or rhythm programmer, set this function to

NOTE: If the clock mode is set to EXTERNAL and a MIDI
clock signal is not being received from an external
source, the X3500 rhythm, accompaniment and other
clock-dependent features will not operate.
Local Control ON/OFF Selection
“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the X3500
keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allowing the internal
voices to be played directly from the keyboard. This situation
1s “Local Control ON” since the internal tone generator is con-
trolled locally by its own keyboard.
Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the X3500
keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the appropri 8%
MIDI information is still transmitted via the MIDI OUT connes
tor when notes are played on the keyboard. At the same time,
the internal tone generator responds to MIDI information received
via the MIDI IN connector. This means that while an external
MIDI sequence recorder, for example, plays the X3500°s internal
voices, an external tone generator can be played from the X3500
keyboard. Local Control is automatically turned ON when the
power 1s initially turned ON.

FCC INFORMATION
Attention users in the U.S.A.
PortaTone X3500 is prepared in accordance
with FCC rules.
The PortaTone X3500 uses frequencies that appear in the
radio frequency range, and if installed in the immediate
proximity (within three meters) of some types of audio or
video devices interference may occur.
The PortaTone X3500 has been type tested and found
to comply with the specifications set for a Class B
computing device in accordance with those specifications
listed in Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules
are designed to provide a reasonable measure of protection
against such interference. However, this does not guarantee
that interference will not occur. If your PortaTone X3500
should be suspected of causing interference with other
electronic devices, verification can be made by turning your
PortaTone X3500 off and on. If the interference continues
when your PortaTone X3500 is off, PortaTone X3500 is not
the source of the interference. If your PortaTone X3500
does appear to be the source of the interference, you should
try to correct the situation by using one or more of the
following measures:
Relocate either the PortaTone X3500 or the electronic
device that is being affected by the interference.
Utilize power outlets for the PortaTone X3500 and the
device being affected that are on different branch (circuit
breaker of fuse) circuits, or install A/C line filters.
in the case of radio-TV interference, relocate the
antenna or, if the antenna lead-in is a 300 ohm ribbon lead,
change the lead-in to a co-axial type cable.
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory
results, please contact your Authorized Yamaha dealer for
suggestions and/or corrective measures. If you cannot
locate an Authorized Yamaha dealer in your general area,
contact the Service Division, Yamaha Corporation of
America, 6600 Orangethorpe Ave, Buena Park, CA 90620.
If for any reason you should need additional information
relating to radio or TV interference, you may find a booklet
prepared by the Federal Communications Commission
helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference
Problems”. This booklet is available from the U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402—stock
# 004-000-345-4.
This applies only to products distributed by Yamaha Corporation
