My keyboard is the YPG-635. The problem occurs when I play chords, playing single notes does not cause this problem. The problem is that when i play chords a sound that i can best describe as scattered shots, rather than just coming out as the notes i play. For example, if I play D G D in left hand and D F A C in the right hand, a clacking sound will be made (scattering shots)...It does not give me a clear chords...just..clack clack clack rapidly...However, if the playing of the notes are ceased the sound stops....I do not know why, but this happens all the time. I previously had a PSR-350 I think or 360, but what ever the case, it use to give the same problems..Mine was not the only one with this problem, i have seen problems with other brands of Yamaha....I was thinking of buying a new keyboard, but I am not confident in buying another Yamaha with this condition to occur again..Please help me, im trying to find the solution to this problem

Sounds like a lack of power from the external "wall wart" power supply. Is it the correct one that can supply enough current for a chord to be played? (a chord will play more notes at the same time & pull more power from the supply in order to make the sound(s)) If it's the correct power supply or one of the correct current rating check the cable & the connector both at the end of the cable & where it plugs into the keyboard. Perhaps the lead has been tugged accidentally? / Damaged in some way? Turn the volume down a little & see if that helps - that will confirm the power theory :-) Good Luck!
Sometimes the contacts under the keys get dirty and must be cleaned. To do this you have to disassemble the keyboard,
carefully remove the PCB under the whole keyboard, locate the not sounding notes, remove tre siliconic stripe with the contact and gently clean the inside black conductive rubber pills with a cottonfioc and alcool.
Also clean the contacts on PCB.
Single and Finger,is chords mode.
In Single,by press one key (eg:A) then chords A is heard,and so on.
In Finger,you must press 3 keys.Example: G-B-D,then you heard G chord. D-F#-A is D chord.
In Finger,lets say you press A chord and want to change to C chord by press one key C only,there's nothing change untill you press C-E-G.
Low, is for chords octave low.
Chords Off,no chords can be play,it mean overall full piano mode..
Single,Finger,Low, can be activate with Sync Start button.
Check you have selected 'sync start'. The ACMP selection activates the automatic chords but not the rhythm, so each note produces a droning chord. Sync start activates the automatic chords and rhythm you have selected when you play anywhere near the bottom end of the keyboard. Alternatively you can manually press play to start the drums by themselves and then the chords will begin the moment to play with your left hand.
That's very annoying! The keys press on to a contact strip running the length of the keyboard. Over time this wears out and notes can either stop being dynamic or stop playing altogether. You can buy the strip off ebay and have a go replacing it yourself - not too expensive. I paid someone 50pounds to supply and fit one to a 61-note keyboard.
Hi I'm not sure I completely understand your problem but......it sounds like you might be in "Fingered On Bass" mode. This means if you play a chord like F using the notes FAC- if you play them in 2nd inversion (so the order is CFA) the psr-1000 will make the note "C" the bass note. In this mode if you played ACF then "A" would be in the bass part. Change to "Fingered Chord"-this will enable you to play any chord with the tonic (the name of the chord) F whether you play FAC, ACF or CFA in the bass part. I don't have access to a psr-1000 but often with Yamaha instruments this can be changed by pressing and holding the "Auto Accompaniment" button. I hope this helps. Musicwez
Read your user manual about keyboard split. OFTEN the rhythms use the keys below F sharp for the chording of rhythm. When in this mode, you should restrict your melody to notes above F sharp that is to the left of middle C. If you play melody below this it will confuse the rhythm chording. You can likely change the split point of the keyboard, however, the F sharp split is the standard and I would suggest staying with it.
I would check your fingering... You MAY be late in hitting a particular note and the using auto chord... this can cause the problem. Another thing is if notes are hit with different velocity that can affect the sound. Sometimes certain voices have VELOCITY switching which actually changes the voice depending on the velocity you hit a note.
