Voice List

Page 89 highlights

Voice List / The PSR-A3 is provided with the Panel Voices (voice numbers 01~171) and GM Voices (voice numbers 01~137). GM Voices are used for the accompaniment. Refer to the GM Voice List on page 91 for the accompaniment track voice editing. Polyphony The PSR-A3 can play up to 32 individual notes at the same time (i.e. it has a maximum "polyphony" of 32). This number includes all voices used: dual, split, auto accompaniment, song, and multi pads. If the maximum polyphony of the PSR-A3 is exceeded, the excess notes will be truncated (they will not sound). Another feature affecting polyphony is the fact that some PSR-A3 voices actually use two voices at once, as shown in the voice list below. The effective maximum polyphony of the PSR-A3 is correspondingly reduced when these voices are used. • The voice list includes the MIDI program numbers and MIDI bank select numbers (Panel Voice List only) that control each voice when the PSR-A3 is played from an external MIDI device. • Panel voice number 113/GM voice number 110 (Bagpipe) uses only one voice above A#2. 88

Voice List /
The PSR-A3 is provided with the Panel Voices (voice numbers
01~171) and GM Voices (voice numbers 01~137).
GM Voices are used
for the accompaniment. Refer to the GM Voice List on page 91 for the
accompaniment track voice editing.
Polyphony
The PSR-A3 can play up to 32 individual notes at the same time (i.e. it
has a maximum “polyphony” of 32). This number includes all voices
used: dual, split, auto accompaniment, song, and multi pads. If the maxi-
mum polyphony of the PSR-A3 is exceeded, the excess notes will be
truncated (they will not sound).
Another feature affecting polyphony is the fact that some PSR-A3
voices actually use two voices at once, as shown in the voice list below.
The effective maximum polyphony of the PSR-A3 is correspondingly
reduced when these voices are used.
The voice list includes the MIDI program
numbers and MIDI bank select numbers
(Panel Voice List only) that control each
voice when the PSR-A3 is played from
an external MIDI device.
Panel voice number 113/GM voice
number 110 (Bagpipe) uses only one
voice above A
