  Adam BerryAug 22, 2025
  If the overall volume of your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard is low, or no sound is heard, first, ensure that the Master Volume is set to an appropriate level using the [MASTER VOLUME] dial. Also, verify that the volume of individual parts (MAIN, LAYER, LEFT, STYLE, and SONG) are properly adjusted in the BALANCE display. Make sure the desired channel is set to ON. Unplug the headphones. Finally, check that the Local Control function is set to ON.

Why is my Yamaha PortaTone PSR-2000 Electronic Keyboard sound distorted or noisy?
- S
  smannAug 26, 2025
  If you're experiencing distortion or noise with your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, ensure all volume settings are appropriate. Try canceling unnecessary effects, especially distortion-type effects. If using the Custom Voice Creator, adjust filter resonance settings. For PSR-2000 models, check if the gain of the Low band is set too high in the Master Equalizer display.

  If the accompaniment style or Song playback doesn't start on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, ensure that MIDI Clock is set to 'INTERNAL'. Press the appropriate [START/STOP] button. If 'New Song' (a blank song) has been selected, make sure to select an appropriate song in the SONG display. If the song has been stopped at the end of the song data, return to the beginning of the song by pressing the [TOP] button.

Why does my Yamaha PortaTone PSR-2000 Electronic Keyboard have a strange 'flanging' or 'doubling' sound?
- T
  Thomas TaylorAug 27, 2025
  If you are getting a strange 'flanging' or 'doubling' sound from your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, and the sound differs each time you play, it may be because both the Main and Layer parts are set to 'ON' and are playing the same voice. To fix this, set the Layer part to 'OFF' or change the voice for either part.

Why not all simultaneously-played notes sound on my Yamaha PortaTone PSR-2000 Electronic Keyboard?
- K
  Kimberly BooneAug 30, 2025
  If notes are cutting off when playing your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, it may be due to exceeding the maximum polyphony. When this happens, the earliest played notes will stop sounding, letting the latest played notes sound.

Why is the Vocal Harmony feature distorted on my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard?

  mark75Sep 2, 2025
  If you experience distorted or out-of-tune sound from the Vocal Harmony feature on your Yamaha Electronic Keyboard, ensure that as little extraneous sound as possible is picked up by your vocal microphone. Sing closely to the microphone, use a directional microphone, turn down the MASTER VOLUME or volume for each part, separate the microphone from the instrument's speakers, cut the Low band via the 3 Band EQ function in the MICROPHONE SETTING display, and increase the microphone input level ('TH.') in the Compressor function from the MICROPHONE SETTING display.
