CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage

to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not connect the instrument to an electrical outlet using a multiple-

connector. Doing so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly

cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from the instrument or an outlet,

always hold the plug itself and not the cord. Pulling by the cord can

damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the instrument is not to

be used for extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might

accidentally fall over.

• Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake. Strong shaking

during an earthquake could cause the instrument to move or tip over,

resulting in damage to the instrument or its parts, and possibly

causing injury.

• When transporting or moving the instrument, always use two or more

people. Attempting to lift the instrument by yourself may damage your

back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the instrument itself.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected cables, to prevent

damage to the cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• When moving the instrument, hold the bottom of the instrument.

Holding the niche where the connectors are located may damage the

connectors or the instrument, and result in injury.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are

using is easily accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs,

immediately turn off the power switch and disconnect the plug from the

outlet. Even when the power switch is turned off, electricity is still

flowing to the product at the minimum level. When you are not using

the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power cord from

the wall AC outlet.

• Use only the stand specified for the instrument (page 17). When

attaching it, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause

damage to the internal components or result in the instrument falling

over.

• Do not lean the instrument up against a wall or lay it with the

connectors side down. The instrument may fall over and result in

damage or cause injury. Make sure to put the instrument horizontally

on a desk or use the stand specified for the instrument (page 17).

• Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn

off the power for all components. Before turning the power on or off for

all components, set all volume levels to minimum.

• Be sure to set the volumes of all components at their minimum levels

and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to

set the desired listening level.

• Do not insert a finger or hand in any gaps on the instrument.

• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other objects into the gaps on

the panel or keyboard. This could cause physical injury to you or

others, damage to the instrument or other property, or operational

failure.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument,

and do not use excessive force on the buttons, switches, music rest or

connectors.

• Do not use the instrument/device or headphones for a long period of

time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause

permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing

in the ears, consult a physician.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Even when the [ ] (Standby/On) switch is in standby status (power lamp

is off), electricity is still flowing to the instrument at the minimum level.

When you are not using the instrument for a long time, make sure you

unplug the power cord from the wall AC outlet.

Compatible formats for this instrument

 GM2

“GM (General MIDI)” is one of the most common Voice allocation formats. “GM System Level 2” is a standard specification that

enhances the original “GM” and improves Song data compatibility. It provides for increased polyphony, greater Voice selection,

expanded Voice parameters, and integrated effect processing.

 XG

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide more Voices

and variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the

future.

 GS

GS was developed by the Roland Corporation. In the same way as Yamaha XG, GS is a major enhancement of the GM specifically

to provide more Voices and Drum kits and their variations, as well as greater expressive control over Voices and effects.

 XF

The Yamaha XF format enhances the SMF (Standard MIDI File) standard with greater functionality and open-ended

expandability for the future. This instrument is capable of displaying lyrics when an XF file containing lyric data is played.

Main Features – A World of Piano Performance and Control with Smart Pianist –

This instrument features a wide variety of instrumental Voices, including piano, organ, guitar, saxophone

and more. It also allows you to layer two Voices, or play different Voices in the right- and left- hand

sections. Moreover, the Style function provides dynamic backing band accompaniment, even when you’re

playing by yourself, and features a wide number of patterns in various genres to match your performance.

You can even connect a microphone and sing along with your own performance—and has luxurious

harmony functions that allow you to automatically create vocal chorus backing for yourself, even when

you’re singing alone.

The piano Voices have been created with samples of Yamaha’s flagship CFX concert grand piano and the

world renowned Bösendorfer* concert grand piano. On Smart Pianist, the Piano Room function

reproduces the way sound echoes based on the environment (such as a concert hall), and the subtle changes

in sound due to the opening or closing of the lid of a grand piano—letting you customize the piano sound

to your exact liking.

*Bösendorfer is a subsidiary company of Yamaha.

NOTE

All screen examples shown here have been captured from the app with the latest specifications as of the publishing date. The screens

and the specifications may be updated for improvement.

Auto Power Off function

To prevent unnecessary power consumption, this instrument features an Auto Power Off function that

automatically turns the power off if the instrument is not operated for a specified period of time. The

amount of time that elapses before the power is automatically turned off is approximately 30 minutes by

default; however, you can change the setting from [Utility] → [System] on Smart Pianist.

NOTICE

Any data which are not saved will be lost if the power automatically turns off. Make sure to save your data before this happens.

NOTE

You can enable/disable the Auto Power Off function by using the [FUNCTION] button (page 29).

To adjust the volume of the entire keyboard sound, use the [MASTER VOLUME]

slider. Play the keyboard to check the sound while you adjust the volume.

CAUTION

Do not use the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since

this can cause permanent hearing loss.

Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC)

IAC is a function which automatically adjusts and controls the sound quality according to the overall

volume of the instrument. Even when playing the instrument with the overall volume turned down, it

permits both low sounds and high sounds to be clearly heard. IAC is effective only from the sound output

of the instrument speakers. This function is set to on by default; however, you can turn it on or off, and set

the depth from [Utility] → [Sound Setting] on Smart Pianist.

Disabling Auto Power Off (simple method)

Turn the power on while holding down the lowest key on the keyboard. The instrument starts up with the Auto

Power Off function disabled.

Starting Up

Connect the included footswitch to the [AUX PEDAL] jack. Just as with a damper pedal of a piano, pressing

the footswitch sustains notes even when you release your fingers from keyboards. Other separately sold

foot pedal FC3A or footswitch FC4A/FC5 can also be connected to this jack. The FC3A allows you to use

the Half Pedal function (page 18).

You can change the function of the pedal from [Utility] → [Pedal Setting] on Smart Pianist. Various

functions such as “Style Start/Stop” are available.

NOTE

• Make sure that the power is off when connecting or disconnecting the footswitch/foot pedal.

• Do not press the footswitch/foot pedal while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the footswitch/foot

pedal, resulting in reversed operation.

A separately sold LP-1B/LP-1WH pedal unit can be connected to the [PEDAL UNIT] jack. When

connecting the pedal unit, make sure to also assemble the unit on the separately sold L-300B/L-300WH

keyboard stand. On the metal brackets of the L-300B/L-300WH, there are screw holes “A” and “B.” When

assembling the keyboard stand for the P-S500, make sure to use the screw holes indicated by “A” on the

metal brackets of the stand. For details, refer to the assembly manual of the stand.

NOTE

• Make sure that the power is off when connecting or disconnecting the pedal unit.

• Do not press the pedals while turning the power on. Doing this changes the recognized polarity of the pedals, resulting in reversed

Pedal Unit functions

By default, the following functions are assigned to each pedal. You can also assign other functions such as

“Style Start/Stop” to the pedals from [Utility] → [Pedal Setting] on Smart Pianist.

 Damper pedal (right pedal)

Pressing this pedal lets you sustain notes even after releasing the keys. You can

use the Half Pedal function (see below) with this pedal.

 Sostenuto pedal (center pedal)

If you play a note or notes on the keyboard and press the sostenuto pedal while

the note(s) are held, those notes will sustain as long as you hold the pedal but

all subsequently played notes will not be sustained. This makes it possible to

sustain a note or notes, for example, while other notes are played staccato.

 Soft pedal (left pedal)

The soft pedal reduces the volume and slightly changes the timbre of notes played while the pedal is

pressed. The soft pedal will not affect notes that are already playing when it is pressed. In order to apply this

effect, play notes after pressing the pedal.

Half Pedal function (for LP-1B/LP-1WH and FC3A)

The FC3A (page 17) and the right pedal of the LP-1B/LP-1WH have a Half Pedal function which allows you to use

half-damper techniques, in which the damper is pressed somewhere between all the way down and all the way up.

In this half-damper state (on a real piano), the damper felts only partially mute the strings. The Half Pedal function

lets you delicately and expressively control the damper muting, and create subtle nuances in your performance, by

finely controlling the point at which pressure on the pedal affects the damper muting. The point is called “Half

Pedal Point” and can be set in the [Piano Room] of Smart Pianist.

When you press the damper

pedal here, the notes you

play before you release the

pedal have a longer sustain.

When you press the sostenuto

pedal here while holding the

note(s), the notes will sustain

as long as you hold the pedal.

Starting Up

Connect a pair of headphones to the [PHONES] jacks. Since this instrument is equipped with two

[PHONES] jacks, you can connect two pairs of headphones.

CAUTION

Do not use the headphones for a long period of time at a hig h or uncomfortable volume level, since this can cause permanent

hearing loss.

Reproducing the natural sensation of sound distance (even when using headphones)

—Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer

This instrument features two advanced technologies that allow you to enjoy exceptionally realistic, natural

sound, even though listening on headphones.

 Binaural Sampling (“CFX Grand” Voice only)

Binaural Sampling is a method that uses two special microphones set at the ear position of a performer and

records the sound from a piano as it would actually be heard. Listening to the sound with this effect

through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating

from the piano. Moreover, you can enjoy the sound naturally for a long time without ear fatigue. When the

“CFX Grand” Voice is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the binaural sampling

sound.

Sampling

A technology which records the sounds of an acoustic instrument and then stores them to the tone generator to be played based on

information received from the keyboard.

 Stereophonic Optimizer (VRM Voices other than “CFX Grand”)

Stereophonic Optimizer is an effect which reproduces the natural sound distance, like with the sound of

Binaural Sampling, even though you are listening to it on headphones. When one of the VRM Voices other

than “CFX Grand” is selected, connecting the headphones automatically enables the Stereophonic

Optimizer. To see which Voices are VRM Voices, refer to the Data List on the website.

Using headphones – [PHONES] jacks

What is VRM?

On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the pressed

key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, each influencing the rest and creating a rich

and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) technology featured in

this instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a

virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since

instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the

sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the

pedal.

Connecting to other devices

Using an external speaker system for listening to sounds from the instrument

You can connect a stereo system to amplify the instrument’s sound by using the AUX OUT [R]/[L/L+R]

jacks. The sound input from the [AUX IN] jack and the [MIC INPUT] jack is output at the same time.

NOTICE

• To avoid possible damage, first turn on the power to the instrument, and then to the external device. When turning off the

power, first turn off the power to the external device, and then to the instrument. Since this instrument’s power may

automatically be turned off due to the Auto Power Off function (page 29), turn off the power to the external device, or disable

Auto Power Off when you do not intend to operate the instrument.

• Do not route the output from the AUX OUT jacks to the [AUX IN] jacks. If you make this connection, the signal input at the [AUX

IN] jacks is output from the AUX OUT jacks. These connections could result in a feedback loop that will make normal

performance impossible, and may even damage the equipment.

NOTE

• Use only the [L/L+R] jack for connection with a monaural device.

• Use an appropriate adaptor plug if the input jack of the powered speaker does not match the phone plug of the audio cable.

• Use audio cables and adaptor plugs having no (zero) resistance.

• When you are monitoring the sound output via the AUX OUT jacks from headphones connected to the instrument, we recommend that

you set the Binaural Sampling and Stereophonic Optimizer functions (page 19) to off. These can be turn on or off from [Utility] 

[Sound Setting]  [Binaural] on Smart Pianist.

By connecting a microphone to the [MIC INPUT] jack (standard mono phone jack), you can enjoy singing

along with your keyboard performance or with Song playback. The instrument outputs your vocals

through the built-in speakers. Moreover, you can apply various harmony effects (called Vocal Harmony) to

your singing voice from [Utility] → [Mic Setting] on Smart Pianist.

1 Before turning on the power of the instrument,

set the [MIC VOLUME] knob to the minimum

position.

2 Connect the microphone to the [MIC INPUT]

jack.

NOTE

Make sure you have a conventional dynamic microphone.

3 Turn on the power of the instrument.

4 (If necessary, turn on the microphone.) Adjust the [MIC VOLUME] knob while

singing into the microphone.

5 After you finish your performance, turn the [MIC VOLUME] knob to the

minimum position, and then disconnect the microphone.

Connecting to other devices

By connecting a computer to the [USB TO HOST] terminal, you can transmit or receive data between the

instrument and the computer. For details on using a computer with this instrument, refer to the

“Computer-related Operations” on the website.

NOTICE

• Use an AB type USB cable of less than 3 meters. USB 3.0 cables cannot be used.

• If you are using a DAW (digital audio workstation) application with this instrument, set the Audio Loopback function (page 33)

to off. Otherwise, a loud sound may occur, depending on the settings of the computer or the application software.

NOTE

• When using a USB cable to connect the instrument to your computer, make the connection directly without passing through a USB hub.

• You cannot connect a computer to this instrument with a USB wireless LAN adaptor.

• The instrument will begin transmission a short time after the USB connection is made.

• For information on setting up your sequence software, refer to the owner’s manual of the relevant software.

• The instrument does not transmit any MIDI messages when connected with Smart Pianist.

• The [USB TO HOST] terminal and [iPad] terminal cannot be used at the same time for connecting a computer and a smart device.

P-S500 Owner’s Manual

Connecting to other devices

By connecting a computer or a smart device to the instrument via the [iPad] or [USB TO HOST] terminal,

digital audio data can be transmitted/received. This USB Audio Interface function provides the following

advantages:

 Playing back audio data with high sound quality

This gives you direct, clear sound in which the sound quality has less noise and deterioration than that

from the [AUX IN] jack.

 Recording performance on the instrument as audio data by using a recording software or a

music production software

The recorded audio data can be played back on the computer or smart device.

For details on connecting to a computer, refer to the “Computer-related Operations” on the website. For

instructions on connecting to a smart device, refer to the examples of connection via cables on page 21.

NOTE

When using a computer running Windows, the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver should be installed to the computer.

Turning Audio Loopback on/off

This allows you to set whether audio sound input from the computer or smart device via the USB Audio

Interface function above, or the Wi-Fi connection (page 22) is output to a computer or a smart device or

not along with the performance played on the instrument. To output the audio input sound, set the Audio

Loopback to “On.” For example, if you want to record the audio input sound as well as the sound played on

the instrument by using the connected computer or smart device, set this to “On.” If you intend to record

only the sound played on the instrument by using the computer or smart device, set this to “Off.” The

setting can be made via the [FUNCTION] button (page 29).

NOTE

• The Audio Loopback function does not affect the input sound from the [AUX IN] jack.

• When Audio Recording by using Smart Pianist, the audio input sound from the connected computer or smart device is recorded when

this is set to “On,” and not recorded when set to “Off.”

Troubleshooting

For troubleshooting information on the app settings, refer to the included Help within the app. On Smart Pianist, tap

the [ⲷ] (Menu) icon located upper left on the display, and then call up [Utility] → [System] → [FAQ].

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The instrument does not turn on.

The plugs are not properly connected. Make sure that the DC plug is

securely inserted into the DC IN jack on the instrument, and that the AC

plug is securely inserted to the AC outlet (page 14).

The power is automatically turned off.

This is normal and due to the Auto Power Off function. If necessary, set the

parameter of the Auto Power Off function (page 15).

Noise is heard from the speakers or

headphones.

The noise may be due to interference caused by the use of a mobile phone

in close proximity to the instrument. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it

further away from the instrument.

Noise is heard from the instrument’s

speakers or headphones when using the

instrument with your smart device.

When you use the instrument along with your smart device, we

recommend that you connect with a cable, or set your device to not emit

radio waves (such as with “Airplane Mode”), turn on Wi-Fi only, and

connect to the instrument.

The overall volume is low, or no sound is

heard.

The Master Volume is set too low; set it to an appropriate level using the

[MASTER VOLUME] slider (page 15).

Pedals do not function.

The pedal plug may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely

insert the pedal plug into the [AUX PEDAL] or [PEDAL UNIT] jack. Be sure

to insert the pedal cord all the way until the metal part of the cord plug

disappears from view.

The keyboard volume is lower than the

metronome volume.

The volume level for the metronome is set too loud. Adjust the metronome

volume (page 28).

Higher or lower notes do not sound

correctly when the transpose setting is

made.

The instrument can cover a key range of C-2 – G8 when you set the

transposition. If notes lower than C-2 are played, the actual resulting

sound is one octave higher. If notes higher than G8 are played, the

resulting sound is one octave lower.

The sound output from the external

speaker or the sound of Song playback

recorded in audio format is not the usual.

This is because the “Binaural” setting is turned on. When “Binaural” is on

and headphones are connected, the VRM Voices (including the sound

outside the headphones) automatically change to the sound of Binaural

Sampling or the sound enhanced with the Stereophonic Optimizer. This is

turned on by default. You can turn it on or off from [Utility]  [Sound

Setting]  [Binaural] of Smart Pianist.

The error message does not disappear

even when the problem has been solved.
