SUSTAIN Press the [SUSTAIN] button once (the indicator will light) and notes played on the keyboard will decay gradually after you lift your fingers from the keys. Press the [SUSTAIN] button a second time (the indicator will go out) to turn the sustain effect off. DUAL (PSR-300 only) The PSR-300 DUAL feature makes it possible to select and play two different voices simultaneously. To activate the DUAL feature press the [DUAL ON/OFF] button (the indicator will light). When ON, the voice selected prior to turning the DUAL feature ON will sound simultaneously with a second "dual" voice. When the PSR-300 is initially turned ON, the STAR LIGHT 2 voice (number 80) is assigned as the dual voice. Any other voice can be selected as the dual voice while the DUAL feature is ON. The DUAL feature can be turned OFF by pressing the [DUAL ON/OFF] button again. When the DUAL function is used with the SPLIT mode (see page 6) different dual voices can be assigned to the left- and right-hand sections of the keyboard. Press a key to the right of the split point to select the right-hand voice, then turn DUAL on and select the righthand dual voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select the left-hand voice, then turn DUAL on and select the left-hand dual voice. TRANSPOSE The PSR-200/PSR-300 [TRANSPOSE] buttons makes it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-200/PSR-300 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. The TRANSPOSE and buttons are used for transposition. The first time the TRANSPOSE or button is pressed the current transpose value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY. While the current transpose value is still showing on the display, press the TRANSPOSE button to increase the pitch of the keyboard, or the button to lower the pitch The selected degree of transposition will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY while the TRANSPOSE or button is pressed, and for approximately 2 seconds after either TRANSPOSE button is released. The SUSTAIN effect cannot be applied to accompaniment or rhythm, When the PSR-300 DUAL function is engaged, sustain is applied to both voices. Sustain can be applied independently to the left- and right-hand voices in the split mode (see "The Split Mode" on page 6). Press a key to the right of the split point to select the right-hand voice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice. Press a key to the left of the split point to select the left-hand voice, then turn sustain on or off for that voice. Sustain can be turned on or off for the melody voice during DEMO playback. Sustain does not affect voice 97 (VOICE BOX) and voice 99 (DRUMS). When the SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED accompaniment mode is selected, the DUAL feature applies only to the right-hand section of the keyboard. The transposition range is from -12 to +12, with -12 corresponding to downward transposition by 12 semitones (one octave, and +12 corresponding to upward transposition by 12 semitones. 0 is the "normal" keyboard pitch value. The normal transpose value (0) can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TRANSPOSE and buttons at the same time. The transpose value is automatically set to 0 whenever the power switch is turned ON. 5
