To change the tempo: Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button to call up the Tempo value, then use the number buttons [0]-[9], [+], [-]. 090 Tempo Current Tempo value Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the value to the default tempo. To set the Time Signature: Press and hold the [METRONOME] button to call up "TimeSigN" (Functions 016; page 31), then use the Number buttons. To set the Metronome Volume: This can be set via Function number 017 (page 31). Playing with enhanced, more spacious sound (Ultra-Wide Stereo) You can play the keyboard with a spacious, wider sound effect that gives you the sensation of hearing the sound outside of the speakers by turning on the Ultra-Wide Stereo effect. 1 Press the [ULTRA-WIDE STEREO] button to turn it on. 2 Press the [ULTRA-WIDE STEREO] button again to turn it off. To select the Ultra-Wide Stereo type: Press the [FUNCTION] button several times to call up "Wide" (Function 014; page 31), then use the Number buttons. Applying Effects to the Sound This instrument can apply various Effects as listed below to the instrument's sound. Reverb Adds the ambience of a club or concert hall to the sound. Although the best-suited Reverb type is called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select another one via Function number 009 (page 31). You can also set the Reverb depth via Function number 010 (page 31). Chorus Makes the Voice sound richer, warmer and more spacious. Although the best-suited Chorus type is called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select another one via Function number 011 (page 31). Panel Sustain By turning on the Sustain parameter of Function number 012 (page 31), you can add a fixed, automatic sustain to the keyboard Voices. Sustain can also be applied as desired with the footswitch (sold separately; page 13). NOTE • Even if you turn on Panel Sustain, there are some Voices to which sustain is not applied. 001 GrandPno Appears when UltraWide Stereo is on. The sound will expand around you-as if the speaker position is outside of the instrument. PSR-E253/YPT-255 Owner's Manual 17
