Here’s a short summary of the
various ways of playing voices.

●
Playing Two Voices
●
Playing Separate Voices
with the Right and Left
Hands
In addition, the keyboard of the PSR-540 has other important functions besides playing voices (as shown below).
●
Auto Accompaniment Section
When the auto accompaniment is set to on (page 33), the key range of voice L becomes the range for playing/
indicating chords.
●
Naming
The keyboard can also be used to name song files on a floppy disk, User Styles,
User Pad banks and Registration Memory banks (page 21).
Playing Voices
The point on the keyboard that separates voice L and voice R1/R2 is called the “split
point”.
The split point is set to F
#
2 at the factory setting, however you can set this to any key
you wish.
Refer to page 119 for instructions on setting the split point.

for example, the lowest
(farthest left) key on the
keyboard corresponds to C1,
and the highest (farthest
right) key to C6.
