Selecting & Playing the Voices The PSR-510 has 128 stunning voices plus 8 different drum and percussion kits that you can select and play in a number of ways. VOICE VOICE SELECT VOL OCTAVE DSP PAN ORCHESTRATION DEPTH HARMONY EFFECT TYPE TYPE KEYBOARD PERCUSSION ONE TOUCH SETTING L1 R1 EDIT L2 R2 HARMONY EFFECT s Orchestration The unique ORCHESTRATION button group in the PSR-510's VOICE control section lets you select and play from one to four "parts" at the same time using a variety of "orchestrations". One of the PSR-510's 128 voices is assigned to each part. q Single: One voice over the entire keyboard. q Dual: Two voices simultaneously over the entire keyboard. q Split: Different voices with the left and right hands. q Split & Dual: Combinations of the Split and Dual modes. There are actually a number of variations on each of the above orchestrations. The ORCHESTRATION buttons are used to choose the type of orchestration you want. Left-hand voice 1 Right-hand voice 1 (or single voice) ORCHESTRATION L1 R1 EDIT L2 R2 Left-hand voice 2 Right-hand voice 2 (or single voice) The four available parts are turned on and off by the [R1], [R2], [L1], and [L2] buttons. The indicators next to each of these buttons tell you which parts are on and which are off, and therefore indicate the current orchestration mode. The [EDIT] button determines which of the four orchestration parts is to be edited. You can, for example, assign any of the PSR-510's 128 voices to each of the orchestration parts. But before we discuss voice assignment and editing, let's take a look at the various orchestration modes: q Single Modes In the "single" modes either the [R1] or [R2] part voice can be played over the entire keyboard. The R1 and R2 single-voice modes are selected simply by pressing either the [R1] or [R2] button if neither the [L1] or [L2] indicators are lit. If the [L1] and/or [L2] indicators are lit, press them so that both indicators go out. Note that when you select the [R1] or [R2] singlevoice mode, the triangular EDIT indicator for the selected voice also lights. This means you can select a different voice number or otherwise edit the current voice using the procedures described on page 12. L1 R1 EDIT L2 R2 The R1 voice is played across the entire keyboard. L1 R1 EDIT L2 R2 The R2 voice is played across the entire keyboard. 10
