Welcome to Digital Workstation Audio Playing and Recording from USB Flash Memory Audio files (WAVE or MP3*) saved to USB flash memory can be played back on the instrument. Moreover, you can record your performance as audio file (WAVE) to a USB flash memory device. On the PSR-S950, you can connect a microphone to the instrument and enjoy recording your singing along with the keyboard performance. * The MP3 format is supported only by the PSR-S950. Chapter 4 USB Audio On the PSR-S950 only, there are also a variety of advanced, convenient audio playback and processing functions. These include Repeat Mode, for specifying how audio files will be repeatedly played back, and an A-B Repeat function, for repeating a specific section in a audio song. Time Stretch lets you slow down or speed up an audio file without changing the pitch, while Pitch Shift lets you change the pitch of the audio without affecting the time. Moreover, a Vocal Cancel function effectively attenuates the vocals which may be positioned in the center of a file, allowing you to sing "karaoke" style with just instrumental backing. Add Phrases and Rhythms to Your Performance Chapter 5 Multi Pads You can add spice to your performance with special short phrases and rhythms, simply by tapping the Multi Pads. Multi Pads also have an Audio Link function that allows you to create your own audio data (sound effects, vocal phrases, and so on), and trigger them from the Pads as you perform. Call Up the Ideal Voice and Style for Each Song Chapter 6 Music Finder The convenient Music Finder function lets you call up the ideal panel settings including the most suitable Voice, Style, effects, etc. for each song, by selecting a "Record," music genre or song title. Moreover, by registering Songs, audio and Style files saved in various places into Music Finder, the instrument can call up these Songs, audio and Style files easily from the song title. Add Vocal Harmony Effects to Your Singing (PSR-S950) Chapter 8 Microphone The instrument also lets you directly connect a microphone and use a variety of sophisticated processing tools specifically designed for vocals. These include 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, letting you add female backup to your own male voice (or vice versa) - or use the Vocal Doubler to make your single voice sound like many.
