Yamaha PSR-S700 ARRANGER WORKSTATION Keyboards/Midi - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

change the whole screen the on capacitor 344 & 544 add resistor with value 2.2k, it will help your keyboard stay longer.

Press the last note (right side) while powering your s700 ,this will reset your settings.

Well first start by calling or emailing the manufacturer. They'll let you know who distributes their parts or If it's still available or not. But also could be a power supply problem.

It sounds like one of the OTS buttons is getting triggered accidentally. There may be a build up of residue behind the button. With the unit off, try rapidly pressing the OTS buttons, one at a time. This should help to move any debris which may be creating a false contact.

If you are feeling brave, you can try opening the keyboard and getting inside, under the button with some electrical contact cleaner such as DeOxit or Servisol.But be warned: it can be difficult to get the parts back together properly! So if you don't have much servicing experience, call your local music shop to find a service technician.

Likely a connection to the backlight is being broken. Tap on the unoit and see if it pops back on. Illuminate screen with a flashlight and see if the characters can be seen when screen is faded. If they can, then the backlight is the problem... IF NOT then the display may be bad... This has been a problem and if you are under warranty, excersise it immediately... else replacement of the display is relatively expensive.

You MAY be confusing touch sensitivity with VELOCITY sensing. Touch sensitivity is PRESSURE put on AFTER the note sounds that causes modulation. VELOCITY is what is used for example to control the loudness of pianoo notes depending how fast they are struck. VELOCITY sensing is done by using TWO contacts at every key... one closes first. IF one of these gets dirty, FULL velocity will be sensed and it will be LOUD. The contacts can be cleaned using ONLY 99% isoprophyl alcohol and Qtips after MUCH disassembly of the keyboard. The contacts are conductive rubber pills in silicone rubber domes. Clean boththe contacts and the circuit traces they pres down onto.

Reprogramming a Yamaha WX5 Electronic Wind Instrument (EWI) typically involves adjusting settings, assigning functions to different keys, or customizing parameters to suit your preferences. Here's a general guide on how you might reprogram a Yamaha WX5:

1. Access the Menu:
   • Turn on your Yamaha WX5.
   • Navigate through the menu options using the buttons or controls on the instrument. Refer to your WX5's user manual for specific instructions on accessing the menu.
2. Select Parameter to Edit:
   • Once in the menu, find the parameter you want to edit. This could include things like breath sensitivity, pitch bend range, or assigned MIDI channels.
3. Adjust Parameters:
   • Use the controls provided on the WX5 to adjust the parameters. This might involve turning knobs, pressing buttons, or using a combination of controls.
4. Save Changes:
   • After making your adjustments, make sure to save your changes. The WX5 typically has a save or store function within the menu. Confirm the changes and save them to the instrument's memory.
5. Refer to the Manual:
   • Consult the user manual for your specific Yamaha WX5 model. The manual will provide detailed information on navigating menus, adjusting parameters, and saving changes.
6. Connect to a Computer:

8. Explore Advanced Settings:
   • Depending on your proficiency and the complexity of your WX5 model, you might explore more advanced settings like custom MIDI mapping or adjusting sensitivity curves.

Remember to approach reprogramming with caution, especially if you are not familiar with all the settings. Make note of the default settings before making changes, so you can revert to them if needed. Always refer to the user manual specific to your Yamaha WX5 model for accurate and detailed instructions on reprogramming and customization. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, consider seeking assistance from Yamaha support or experienced professionals in electronic wind instruments.

Try re loading the software. It's all in the user manual.

My US 1 has had four broken pedals, and now has a fifth. I called Yamaha, and they DO have washers for the pedals but not until March. It is technically what they are calling a "failed instrument." So many of the parts have failed but been successfully replaced until now. The plastic in the pedals becomes old and brittle over time, then reaches a point where it just cracks off. The MDR has been rebuilt too, but is very temperamental. It doesn't allow me to copy discs any more. I'm trying to find a used one to replace it. Any ideas? [email protected]

I would contct Yamaha for a list of repair agents in your country.

Seems the carbon layer under the button needs repair.

Refer to page 105 and 108 for trouble shooting DTX-MULTI 12 Owner's Manual (yamaha.com)

Question edited for clarity. Try a Factory Reset. Try a power reset first. Disconnect from the mains plug for 15 minutes.
