Selecting and Playing Voices I Using the numeric keypad Enter the digits of the voice number as printed on the panel. For example, to select voice #042, press "0" on the numeric keypad, then "4.", "2." For voice numbers beginning with zeroes (such as #042 or #006), the initial zeroes may be omitted. In this case, there is a short pause before the indication appears. 042 Fr.Horn TEMPO 116 I Using the [+]/[-] buttons Press the [+] button to select the next voice number, and press the [-] button to select the previous voice. Holding down either key continuously scrolls up or down through the numbers. • Each voice is automatically called up with the most suitable octave range setting. Thus, playing middle C with one voice may sound higher or lower than another voice at the same key. • Four of the Organ voices are effect "pairs." Switching between each of the paired voices (with the [+]/[-] buttons) turns the effect of the voice on or off. For example, for the Vibrato pair (#010 and #011), selecting #010 turns the vibrato effect off, while selecting #011 turns vibrato on. The same applies to the Harmony, Attack and Wave voices (#012 - #017). 3 Play the selected voice. • You can select the One Touch Setting Voice (#000) by pressing both [+]/[-] buttons simultaneously. (See page 26.) • The PSR-172/170 is polyphonic up to a maximum of 16 notes. (Depending on the voice selected - such as split voices and dual voices - fewer notes may be available.) This includes not only the notes played from the keyboard, but also the notes in a style pattern, the notes played by a Pad (page 51), and so on. Thus, if you play too many notes at one time, some may not sound and/or others may be cancelled. 24

• Each voice is automatically
called up with the most suitable
octave range setting.
Thus, play-
ing middle C with one voice may
sound higher or lower than
another voice at the same key.
• Four of the Organ voices are
effect “pairs.”
Switching between
each of the paired voices (with
the [+]/[-] buttons) turns the effect
of the voice on or off.
For exam-
ple, for the Vibrato pair (#010 and
#011), selecting #010 turns the
vibrato effect off, while selecting
#011 turns vibrato on.
The same
applies to the Harmony, Attack
and Wave voices (#012 - #017).
• You can select the One Touch
Setting Voice (#000) by pressing
both [+]/[-] buttons simulta-
neously.
(See page 26.)
• The PSR-172/170 is polyphonic
up to a maximum of 16 notes.
(Depending on the voice selected
— such as split voices and dual
voices — fewer notes may be
available.)
This includes not only
the notes played from the key-
board, but also the notes in a
style pattern, the notes played by
a Pad (page 51), and so on.
Thus, if you play too many notes
at one time, some may not sound
and/or others may be cancelled.
