Playing the PSR-4000 s Before You Begin Before playing your PSR-4000 for the first EXIT time, it might be a good idea to re-initialize it to the original factory settings just in case these have been changed at some point before you receive the instrument. To do this, turn the [POWER] switch ON while holding the [DEMO] and [EXIT] buttons. When the display shown to the right appears press the OK LCD button. • When the above initialization procedure is carried out, all internal data (e.g. REGISTRATION, CUSTOM ACCOMP, CUSTOM VOICE, MULTI PAD) will also be initialized and therefore lost! DEMO POWER Selecting & Playing Voices The PSR-4000 allows you to individually select and play up to four "orchestra parts" at the same time in a number of ways. A range of voices can be assigned to each orchestra part. RIGHT ORCHESTRA 1 RIGHT ORCHESTRA 2 LEAD LEFT ORCHESTRA Both the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 voices are polyphonic voices which can be played over the entire keyboard or to the right of a specified split point. The default split point is the F#2 key. Either voice can be played alone, or both can be played simultaneously. The RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 voices can be selected from a range of 243 voices organized in 12 groups. This is a monophonic voice which can be played over the entire keyboard or to the right of a specified split point. The default split point is the F#2 key. The LEAD voice can be played alone, or simultaneously with either or both of the RIGHT ORCHESTRA voices. The LEAD voice can be selected from a range of 110 voices organized in 6 groups. When only the LEAD voice is being played it has "last note priority". That is, only the last note played will sound. When the LEAD voice is being played with a RIGHT ORCHESTRA voice it has "highest note priority" - the highest note is played by the LEAD voice. A polyphonic voice which can be played to the left of a specified split point while the RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and/or LEAD voices are played to the right of the split point. The default split point is the F#2 key. The LEFT voice can be selected from a range of 200 voices organized in 6 groups. * Voice numbers include Custom Voice. 12

Before You Begin
Before playing your PSR-4000 for the first
time, it might be a good idea to re-initialize it to
the original factory settings just in case these have
been changed at some point before you receive
the instrument. To do this, turn the
[POWER]
switch ON while holding the
[DEMO]
and
[EXIT]
buttons.
When the display shown to the right appears
press the
OK
LCD button.

When the above initialization procedure is carried
out, all internal data (e.g. REGISTRATION, CUS-
TOM ACCOMP, CUSTOM VOICE, MULTI PAD) will
also be initialized and therefore lost!

Selecting & Playing Voices
The PSR-4000 allows you to individually select and play up to four “orchestra parts” at the same time in a number
of ways. A range of voices can be assigned to each orchestra part.
RIGHT ORCHESTRA 1
RIGHT ORCHESTRA 2
Both the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 voices are polyphonic voices which can be played over
the entire keyboard or to the right of a specified split point. The default split point is the F
#
2
key. Either voice can be played alone, or both can be played simultaneously. The RIGHT 1
and RIGHT 2 voices can be selected from a range of 243 voices organized in 12 groups.
LEAD
This is a monophonic voice which can be played over the entire keyboard or to the right of
a specified split point. The default split point is the F
#
2 key. The LEAD voice can be played
alone, or simultaneously with either or both of the RIGHT ORCHESTRA voices. The LEAD
voice can be selected from a range of 110 voices organized in 6 groups.
When only the LEAD voice is being played it has “last note priority”. That is, only the last
note played will sound. When the LEAD voice is being played with a RIGHT ORCHESTRA
voice it has “highest note priority” — the highest note is played by the LEAD voice.
LEFT ORCHESTRA
A polyphonic voice which can be played to the left of a specified split point while the
RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and/or LEAD voices are played to the right of the split point. The de-
fault split point is the F
#
2 key. The LEFT voice can be selected from a range of 200 voices
organized in 6 groups.
