PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death from electrical

shock, short-circuiting, damages, ﬁre or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Only use the voltage speciﬁed as correct for the instrument. The required

voltage is printed on the name plate of the instrument.

• Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150, or an equivalent recommended by

Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can result in damage to the instrument

or overheating.

•Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have

accumulated on it.

•Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators,

and do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects

on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip over, or roll

anything over it.

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or

modify them in any way. The instrument contains no user-serviceable parts. If it

should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it

inspected by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet

conditions, or place containers on it containing liquids which might spill into

any openings.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit.

A burning item may fall over and cause a ﬁre.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a

sudden loss of sound during use of the instrument, or if any unusual smells or

smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power switch,

disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

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:

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

the plug itself and not the cord.

• Unplug the AC power adaptor when not using the instrument, or during

electrical storms.

•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.

•Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or

heat (such as in direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day) to

prevent the possibility of panel disﬁguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument in the vicinity of a TV, radio, stereo equipment,

mobile phone, or other electric devices. Otherwise, the instrument, TV, or radio

may generate noise.

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

fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

• When setting up the instrument, 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.

• Use only the stand speciﬁed for the instrument. When attaching the stand or

rack, use the provided screws only. Failure to do so could cause damage to the

internal components or result in the instrument falling over.

• 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. Also, 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.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners,

solvents, cleaning ﬂuids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths.

• 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. If this happens, turn off the power immediately and unplug the

power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the instrument inspected by qualiﬁed

Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since this might

discolor the panel or keyboard.

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

use excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not operate the instrument 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.

Saving and backing up your data

•Data in the instrument’s internal memory can be lost due to operational errors or

malfunction. Be sure to save any important data to external media via a

computer connection. (page 50)

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha Electronic Piano P-140/P-140S!

We recommend that you read this manual carefully

so that you can fully take advantage of the advanced and

convenient functions of the P-140/P-140S.

We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and

handy place for future reference.

Main Features

Graded Hammer Effect Keyboard

Thanks to our experience as the world’s leading manufacturer of acoustic pianos, we’ve developed a keyboard with

action that’s virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Just as on a traditional acoustic piano, the keys of the lower

notes have a heavier touch, while the higher ones are more responsive to lighter playing. The keyboard’s sensitivity can

even be adjusted to match your playing style.

AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling

The Yamaha P-140 Electronic piano offers unmatched sonic realism and natural grand-piano type playability as well as

Yamaha’s original AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling tone generation technology for rich, musical voices.

The Grand Piano 1, 2 and 3 voices feature totally new samples painstakingly recorded from a full concert grand piano.

The Grand Piano 1 and 3 voices feature three velocity-switched samples (Dynamic Sampling), special Sustain Sam-

pling (page 43) that samples the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings when the sus-

tain pedal is pressed, and Keyoff Samples that add the subtle sound produced when the keys are released. The P-140

comes much closer to the sound of a true acoustic piano.

Before Using the P-140

P-140 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

Before Using the P-140

Turning the Power On

1. Connect the power adaptor’s DC cable to

the [DC IN 12V] jack.

2. Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.

WARNING

Use the speciﬁed adaptor (PA-5D, PA-150, or an equivalent recom-

mended by Yamaha) only. The use of other adaptors may result in

irreparable damage to both the adaptor and the P-140.

CAUTION

Unplug the AC Power Adaptor when not using the P-140, or during

electrical storms.

3. Press the [STANDBY/ON] switch to turn

the power on.

The display located in the center of the front panel lights up.

When you’re ready to turn off the power, press the [STANDBY/

ON] switch again.

CAUTION

Even when the instrument is turned off, electricity is still ﬂowing to

the instrument at the minimum level. When you are not using the P-

140 for a long time, make sure you unplug the AC power adaptor

from the wall AC outlet.

When turning off the power, press and hold down the

[STANDBY/ON] switch for a short time until the power turns

off. The P-140 uses this power-off procedure as a “safety” device

to prevent the power from being inadvertently turned off during

performance.

Setting the Volume

Initially set the [MASTER VOLUME] slider about halfway between the “MIN” and “MAX” settings. Then, when you start

playing, re-adjust the [MASTER VOLUME] slider to the most comfortable listening level.

TERMINOLOGY MASTER VOLUME:

The volume level of the entire keyboard sound

(The shape of plug differs

depending on locale.)

Display

Normally indicates tempo.

The level increases.The level decreases.

Before Using the P-140

P-140 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

Using the Pedals

Sustain Pedal (Sustain Pedal jack)

This jack is for connecting the included pedal (FC3).

The pedal functions in the same way as a damper pedal on an acoustic piano. Connect the included pedal (FC3) to this

jack and press the pedal to sustain the sound. The further down the pedal is pressed, the longer the sound will be sus-

tained (can be used like a half pedal effect).

When the GRAND PIANO 1 and 3 voices are selected, pressing the FC3 pedal activates the instrument’s special Sustain

Samples to accurately recreate the unique resonance of an acoustic grand piano’s soundboard and strings.

An optional FC4/FC5 foot switch can also be connected to this jack. However, these foot switches cannot be used to con-

trol the half pedal effect.

AUX Pedal (AUX Pedal jack)

This jack is for connecting an optional FC4/FC5 foot switch or an optional FC7 foot controller. A wide range of functions,

including the Soft Pedal function can be assigned to this jack. For instructions on assigning the pedal, refer to pages 37,

43.

Using Headphones

Connect a set of headphones to one of the [PHONES] jacks.

Two [PHONES] jacks are provided.

You can connect two sets of standard stereo headphones. (If you are

using only one set of headphones, you can plug them into either

jack.)

CAUTION

Do not use the P-140 at a high volume level for a long period of time,

or your hearing may be damaged.

Music Rest

The P-140 includes a music rest that can be attached to the instrument by inserting it into the holes at the top of the con-

trol panel.

Transposition – [TRANSPOSE]

The P-140’s Transpose function makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or

down in semitone intervals to facilitate playing in difﬁcult key signatures, and to let you easily

match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instruments. For example, if you

set the transposition amount to “5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play a

song as though it were in C major, and the P-140 will transpose it to the key of F.

Recording Your Performance

P-140 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

Recording Your Performance

The ability to record and play back what you’ve played on the P-140 keyboard can be an effective

practice aid. You can, for example, record just the left-hand part, and then practice the right-hand

part while playing back the recorded left-hand part. Or, since you can record up to two parts sepa-

rately, you could record the left- and right-hand parts separately, or record both parts of a duet and

hear how they sound when played back. The two-part Song Recorder on the P-140 allows the

recording of up to three User songs (U01-U03) to the instrument.

Recording a performance quickly

This convenient and simple recording method lets you quickly record your performance without

specifying the recording parts — useful, for example, in recording solo piano pieces.

In this way, the performance is automatically recorded to right part.

CAUTION

To avoid erasing previously recorded song(s):

If the song contains data, the part indicator lights up green when you select a song.

Note that recording new data on this part will erase the existing data.

1. Select the voice you want to record (or voices if you

will be using Dual or Split), before you begin to

record.

Make any other desired settings (reverb, effect, etc.) as well. You might also want

to set the volume.

You can also adjust the playback volume using the [MASTER VOLUME] slider.

You can record your performance

(audio data) to an MD recorder or

other recording device via the

AUX OUT jack (page 48).

NOTE

TERMINOLOGY

Recording vs. Saving:

The format of performance data recorded on an MD differs from that of data recorded on the P-140. An

MD records audio signals. The P-140 “saves” information regarding note timing, voices, and a tempo

value, but not audio signals. When you play back recorded songs, the P-140 produces sound based on

the saved information. Therefore, recording on the P-140 may be more accurately called “saving infor-

mation.” However, this book often uses the word “recording” because it seems to make more sense.

being saved to the instrument automatically. After the

data is saved, the song name (U01-U03) appears in

the display. The recorded part’s indicator will light in

mode is disengaged automatically.)

CAUTION

Never attempt to turn the [STANDBY/ON] switch OFF

You can select various scales.

Equal Temperament is the most common con-

temporary piano tuning scale. However, his-

tory has known numerous other scales, many

of which serve as the basis for certain genres of

music. You can experience these tunings with

the P-140.

F2.1: Scale

Setting range: 1: Equal Temperament

2: Pure Major

3: Pure Minor

4: Pythagorean

5: Mean Tone

6: Werckmeister

7: Kirnberger

Default setting: 1: Equal Temperament

EQUAL TEMPERAMENT

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into

twelve parts, with each half-step evenly spaced in pitch.

This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.

PURE MAJOR/PURE MINOR

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of

each scale, especially for triad chords (root, third, ﬁfth).

You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies - such as

choirs and a cappella singing.

PYTHAGOREAN

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher

and is created from a series of perfect ﬁfths, which are col-

lapsed into a single octave.

The 3rd in this tuning are slightly unstable, but the 4th and

5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

MEAN-TONE

This scale was created as an improvement on the

Pythagorean scale, by making the major third interval more

“in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century

to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

WERCKMEISTER/KIRNBERGER

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirn-

berger systems, which were themselves improvements on

the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature of

this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The

scale was used extensively during the time of Bach and

Beethoven, and even now it is often used when performing

period music on the harpsichord.

F2.2: Base Note

If you select a scale other than Equal Temperament, you

need to specify the root. (You can also specify the root

note with Equal Temperament selected, but it will have

no effect. The base note setting is effective for tunings

other than the Equal Temperament tuning.)

Setting range: C, C#, D, Eb, E, F, F#, G, Ab, A, Bb, B

Default setting: C

relation to Voice 2.)

Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion.

You can set one voice as the main voice, and another

voice as a softer, mixed voice.

F3.2: Dual Detune

Setting range: -10 – 0 – 10 (With positive values,

the pitch of Voice 1 is raised and the

pitch of Voice 2 is lowered. With neg-

ative values, the pitch of Voice 1 is

lowered and the pitch of Voice 2 is

raised.)

Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion.

Detune Voice 1 and Voice 2 for Dual to create a thicker

sound.

F3.3: Voice 1 Octave Shift

F3.4: Voice 2 Octave Shift

Setting range: –1, 0, 1

Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion.

You can shift the pitch up and down in octave steps for

Voice 1 and Voice 2 independently. Depending on which

voices you combine in Dual, the combination may sound

better if one of the voices is shifted up or down an octave.

F3.5: Voice 1 Effect Depth

F3.6: Voice 2 Effect Depth

Setting range: 0 – 20

Default setting: Different for each voice combina-

tion.

These functions make it possible to individually set the

depth of the effect for Voices 1 and 2 for Dual. (The effect

depth settings cannot be changed unless the [EFFECT] is

ON. Function must be exited before the [EFFECT] can be

turned ON.)

proper data transfer. This parameter enables you to spec-

ify the channel on which the P-140 receives MIDI data.

Setting range: ALL, 1&2, 1 – 16

Default setting: ALL

F8.3: Local Control ON/OFF

“Local Control” refers to the fact that, normally, the P-

140 keyboard controls its internal tone generator, allow-

ing the internal voices to be played directly from the key-

board. This situation is “Local Control On,” since the

internal tone generator is controlled locally by its own

keyboard.

Local control can be turned OFF, however, so that the P-

140 keyboard does not play the internal voices, but the

appropriate MIDI information is still transmitted via the

MIDI OUT terminal when notes are played on the key-

board. At the same time, the internal tone generator

responds to MIDI information received via the MIDI IN

terminal.

Setting range: ON/OFF

Default setting: ON

F6. Metronome Volume

SHORTCUT:

You can jump directly to the metronome functions by

pressing the [TEMPO/FUNCTION] button while holding the

[METRONOME] button.

F7. Song Part Cancel Volume

NOTE

•In Dual, Voice 1 data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In

Split, right voice data is transmitted on its speciﬁed channel. In

Dual, Voice 2 data is transmitted on the next greater channel

number relative to the speciﬁed channel. In Split, left voice

data is transmitted on the next greater channel number relative

to the speciﬁed channel. In either case, no data is transmitted

if the transmit channel is set to “OFF.”

• Song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connections. How-

ever, channels 3-16 of External songs will be transmitted via

the MIDI connections depending on the Song Channel Selec-

tion setting (page 43).

• ALL:

“Multi-timbre” Receive. This allows simultaneous reception of

different parts on all 16 MIDI channels, enabling the P-140 to

play multi-channel song data received from a music computer

or sequencer.

1&2:

“1&2” Receive. This allows simultaneous reception on chan-

nels 1 and 2 only, enabling the P-140 to play 1 and 2 channel

song data received from a music computer or sequencer.

•Program change and other like channel messages received

will not affect the P-140’s panel settings or the notes you play

on the keyboard.

Detailed Settings – [FUNCTION]

P-140 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

F8.4: Program Change ON/OFF

Normally the P-140 will respond to MIDI program

change numbers received from an external keyboard or

other MIDI device, causing the correspondingly num-

bered voice to be selected on the corresponding channel

(the keyboard voice does not change). The P-140 will

normally also send a MIDI program change number

whenever one of its voices is selected, causing the corre-

spondingly numbered voice or program to be selected on

the external MIDI device if the device is set up to receive

and respond to MIDI program change numbers.

This function makes it possible to cancel program

change number reception and transmission so that

voices can be selected on the P-140 without affecting the

external MIDI device.

Setting range: ON/OFF

Default setting: ON

F8.5: Control Change ON/OFF

Normally the P-140 will respond to MIDI control change

data received from an external MIDI device or keyboard,

causing the voice on the corresponding channel to be

affected by pedal and other “control” settings received

from the controlling device (the keyboard voice is not

affected).

The P-140 also transmits MIDI control change informa-

tion when the pedal or other appropriate controls are

operated.

This function makes it possible to cancel control change

data reception and transmission so that, for example, the

P-140’s pedal and other controls can be operated without

affecting an external MIDI device.

Setting range: ON/OFF

Default setting: ON

F8.6: Panel/Status Transmit

This function causes all the current P-140 panel settings

(selected voice, etc.) to be transmitted via the MIDI OUT

terminal.

to a computer. By transmitting the panel settings and

recording them on the MIDI sequence recorder prior to

the actual performance data, the instrument will be

automatically restored to the same settings when the per-

formance is played back. You can also use this function to

change the settings of a connected tone generator to the

same settings as the instrument.

ENGLISH

Data Backup Using a Computer

For maximum data security Yamaha recommends that you save your important data to your com-

puter by using the Musicsoft Downloader (MSD) software. This provides a convenient backup if the

internal memory is damaged.

Data that can be saved

● Panel settings and recorded User songs

Panel settings are the same data that can be backed up using the Backup Functions

(page 46). You can save the panel settings and recorded User songs as one ﬁle.

● External songs received via computer.

1. Install the USB MIDI driver and MSD to your com-

puter (Windows), then connect the computer and

the instrument.

For connection, see page 49.

2. Save the data to the computer.

Using MSD, save the “P-140.BUP” ﬁle from “System Drive” under “Electronic

Musical Instruments” to the computer.

The “P-140.BUP” ﬁle contains the panel settings and recorded User songs. Also,

if you store the external songs in the instrument from the computer, save the

songs from “Flash Memory” under “Electronic Musical Instruments” to the

computer via the MSD.

For instructions on using MSD, see the Help in the MSD.

To recall the settings and load songs to the instrument, save the

“P-140.BUP” ﬁle and the External songs under the folders to which you saved

the ﬁles.

You can download the USB MIDI

interface driver and Musicsoft

Downloader (MSD). Please check

the following URL for the latest

Troubleshooting

P-140 Owner’s Manual

ENGLISH

Troubleshooting

Optional Equipment

Foot Pedal (FC3/FC4/FC5/FC7)

Keyboard Stand (L-140/L-140S)

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The P-140 does not turn on. The P-140 has not been plugged in properly. Securely insert the female plug into the

socket on the P-140, and the male plug into a proper AC outlet (page 12).

A click or pop is heard when the power is

turned on or off.

This is normal when electrical current is being applied to the instrument.

Noise is heard from the speakers or head-

phones.

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

proximity to the P-140. Turn off the mobile phone, or use it further away from the P-

140.

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] control.

• Make sure a pair of headphones is not connected to the headphones jack

(page 13).

• Make sure that Local Control (page 44) is ON.

The sustain pedal has no effect. The pedal cable/plug may not be properly connected. Make sure to securely insert

the pedal plug into the proper jack (page 47).

The foot pedal seems to produce the oppo-

site effect. For example, pressing the foot

pedal cuts off the sound and releasing it sus-

tains the sounds.

The type of the foot pedal is reversed.

If this happens, use F5.6 or F5.7 to correct the pedal type (pages 37, 43).

If you press the [VARIATION] button during

performance, Sound is cut off.

This is normal, and is no cause for concern.

If you’re already very familiar with MIDI, or are using a computer to control your music hardware with computer-generated MIDI

messages, the data provided in this section can help you to control the P-140.

Falls Sie bereits mit MIDI vertraut sind oder einen Computer zur Erzeugung von MIDI-Steuermeldungen für die Instrumente verwenden,

können Sie sich zur Steuerung des P-140 nach den im folgenden Abschnitt aufgeführten Speziﬁkationen richten.

Si vous êtes très familier avec l’interface MIDI ou si vous utilisez un ordinateur pour commander votre matériel de musique au moyen de

messages MIDI générés par ordinateur, les données suivantes vous seront utiles et vous aideront à commander le P-140.

SI usted está ya familiarizado con MIDI, o si emplea una computadora para controlar sus aparatos musicales con mensajes MIDI

generados por computadora, los datos proporcionados en esta sección le ayudarán a controlar la P-140.

•When Control Change is turned OFF, Control Change mes-

sages will not be transmitted or received.

•Local on/off, OMNI on/off are not transmitted. (The appropriate

note off number is supplied with “All Note Off” transmission).

• When a voice bank MSB/LSB is received, the number is

stored in the internal buffer regardless of the received order,

then the stored value is used to select the appropriate voice

when a program change message is received.

•Poly mode is always active. This mode will not change when

the instrument receives MONO/POLY mode message.

4. PROGRAM CHANGE

Data format: [CnH] -> [ppH]

CnH = Program event (n = channel number)

ppH = Program change number

P. C .#=Program Change number

SPLIT VOICE

•Some devices use a “0 to 127” numbering system for program

change messages. Since the P-140 uses a “1 to 128” number-

ing system, you will need to subtract 1 from the transmitted

program change numbers to select the appropriate sound:

e.g. to select P.C.#1 in the list above, transmit program

change number 0.
