Welcome to Digital Workstation Connect a microphone and sing along with your keyboard performance page 88 You can directly connect a microphone and use a variety of sophisticated processing tools. The PSR-S970 features an amazing Vocal Harmony function, which automatically produces backup vocal harmonies for lead vocals that you sing into a microphone. You can even change the gender of the harmony voices - for example, adding female backup to your own male voice (or vice versa) - or use the Vocal Doubler to make your single voice sound like many. The PSR-S970 also has a Synth Vocoder feature, recreating that popular effect for a variety of luscious, other-worldly sounds. Both the PSR-S970 and PSR-S770 let you connect an electric guitar, and you can even use powerful DSP effects to process the guitar sound instead, and play that along with the keyboard sounds. Versatile real-time controller - Live Control The two knobs to which various functions can be assigned lets you intuitively control your performance in real-time. For example, you can use the knobs to control the brightness (cutoff frequency) of the sound being played or to control the volume balance between the parts such as Voice and Style. Thus you can easily add variations to the sound without interrupting your performance. You can also control your performance easily by using the two wheels - PITCH BEND and MODULATION. The [PITCH BEND] wheel lets you bend the notes up or down, while the [MODULATION] wheel can be used to apply a vibrato effect to the notes you play (page 39). page 40 Playing with Arpeggios You can play arpeggios (broken chords) by simply pressing the appropriate notes on the keyboard, allowing you to instantly and automatically have complex and otherwise difficult-to-play phrases backing your performance. page 44 Explore the Demos page 19 The Demos showcase the instrument's high-quality sounds, the variety of advanced functions, and provide helpful information for learning about your new keyboard. These are just a few of the many functions that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your creative and performance possibilities. Try them out and enjoy your new keyboard!
