    Why does my Yamaha YPG635MM Electronic Keyboard make noise when I use my mobile phone?
    • M
      Ms. Brenda GomezAug 25, 2025

      First, make sure the Style Volume is set to an appropriate level. Next, check if the split point is set at an appropriate key for the chords you are playing, and also ensure that the “ACMP” indicator is showing in the display by pressing the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

    Why does my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard cut off some sounds?
    • B
      Brian YorkAug 31, 2025
      The instrument is polyphonic up to a maximum of 64 notes. If the Dual voice or Split voice is being used and a style or song is playing back at the same time, some notes/sounds may be omitted (or 'stolen') from the accompaniment or song.

    Why is there no rhythm when I press start on my Yamaha YPG635MM Electronic Keyboard?
    • E
      Emma TaylorSep 3, 2025
      Style number 131 and style numbers 143–160 (Pianist) have no rhythm parts. This is not a malfunction. The other parts will begin playing when you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard if style playback is turned on.

    Why does the voice sound different on each note on my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard?
    • C
      Christine CortezSep 7, 2025
      This is normal. The AWM tone generation method uses multiple recordings (samples) of an instrument across the range of the keyboard.
  • D

    Why does my Yamaha Electronic Keyboard pop when turned on or off?
    • J
      Jamie MorrowSep 10, 2025
      This is normal and indicates that the instrument is receiving electrical power.
