Function Dual Voice

Description The dual voice can be changed as required while the number and name of the current dual voice appear on the top line of the display. The PSR-520 has 143(voice number 01~141 and 150~151) dual voices. Voice numbers 150~151 exclusively can be used as the dual voice. Sets the volume of the dual voice so you can create the optimum blend with the main keyboard voice. The volume range is from 00 (no sound) to 127 (maximum dual voice volume). Shifts the pitch of the dual voice up or down one or two octaves. 1 is down one octave, 2 is down two octaves; +1 and +2 are up one and two octaves, respectively. The original octave of the dual voice is determined by the Octave function in the OVERALL function group page 67. Sets the reverb send level for the dual voice. The reverb send level determines the amount of signals input to the reverb effect. The level range is 00 (no effect) to 127 (maximum effect). Sets the chorus send level for the dual voice. The chorus send level determines the amount of signals input to the chorus effect. The level range is 00 (no effect) to 127 (maximum effect). Positions the dual voice in the stereo sound field. The pan range is from 7 to +7". 7 is full left and +7 is full right.
If the Voice Set function is ON (page 69), the Dual Voice parameters will change automatically whenever a different voice is selected via the VOICE function. Keyboard percussion voices cannot be used as the dual voice. The selected Dual Voice parameter can be reset to its default value by simultaneously pressing the [/NO] and [+/YES] buttons. The octave of the main and dual voices can be changed via the Octave function in the OVERALL function group page 67. Negative values with D.Octave and D.Pan parameters can be entered by pressing the number buttons while holding the [/NO] button. Reverb return level and chorus return level can be changed via the RevRtnLv and ChoRtnLv functions, respectively, in the DIGITAL EFFECT function see pages 25 and 27.

q FULL In this mode the PSR-520 automatically differentiates between left-hand chords and right-hand melody, no matter where they are played on the keyboard. Right-hand chords with a left-hand bass line single or octave are also recognized. In the former case left-hand chords are recognized and accompaniment is produced in the same way as in the NORMAL mode, in the latter case the right-hand chords are recognized in the same way but the accompaniment bass line will be based on the left-hand bass line you play. This means you can play in just about any style anywhere on the keyboard, and the PSR-520 will automatically produce appropriate accompaniment.
A single note one octave lower than the lowest note of the chord is recognized as a bass note, and a single note eleven notes higher is recognized as a melody note. The Harmony/Echo feature (page 20) has no effect in the FULL mode.
3 Select the Style Function
Press the [STYLE] button to directly select the STYLE function. Another way to do this is to press the [FUNCTION] button to the left of the display as many times as necessary until the arrowhead in the display appears next to STYLE in the function list to the left of the display.
The AcompVol function in the OVERALL function group can be quickly selected by pressing and holding the [STYLE] button.

4 Select a Style

The PSR-520 has 100 styles that can be selected by using either the [/ NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the number buttons or the data dial (these controls function in the same way as for voice selection see page 12). The styles are listed in the STYLE list printed at the top of the instruments control panel. The number and name of the currently selected style appears on the top line of the display while the STYLE function is selected.
See page 61 for details on selecting cartridge styles.

5 Set the Tempo

When you select a different style while the accompaniment is not playing, the default tempo for that style is also selected, and the tempo is displayed to the right of the metronome icon TEMPO in quarter-note beats per minute. If the accompaniment is playing and the One Touch Setting function is OFF (page 42), the same tempo is maintained even if you select a different style. You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute, however, by using TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons. Press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or incrementing. The default tempo for the selected style can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO [v] and [w] buttons simultaneously.

7 Play On the Auto-accompaniment Section Of the Keyboard
As soon as you play any fingering that the PSR-520 can recognize on the left-hand section of the keyboard (or anywhere on the keyboard if the FULL fingering mode is selected), the PSR-520 will automatically begin to play the appropriate bass line and chord parts along with the selected style. The accompaniment will continue playing even if you release the keys.
The chord name recognized will be shown above CHORD in the display.
q The Beat Indicator The four dots of the BEAT display provide a visual indication of the selected tempo and beat as shown below.

8 Select the MAIN A and B Sections as Required
The MAIN A and MAIN B sections can be selected at any time during playback by pressing the corresponding button. Whenever you press the MAIN [A] or [B] button during playback, the PSR-520 will generate an appropriate fill-in (one of four types) which will smoothly connect the current section to the selected section even if it is the same section. For example, if you press the MAIN [A] button while the MAIN A section is playing, a fill-in will be produced, then the MAIN A section will continue playing. When you select a different section, the fill-in will begin immediately and the new section will actually begin playing from the top of the next measure unless the MAIN [A] or [B] button is pressed during the last beat of the measure, in which case the fill-in will begin from the first beat of the next measure.
SYNCSTART/STOP INTRO MAIN

9 Stop the Accompaniment

SYNCSTART/STOP INTRO
The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/ STOP] button. Press the [ENDING] button if you want to go to the ending section and then stop. The ending section will begin from the top of the next measure.
Some INTRO and ENDING sections have their own chord progressions which play in the current accompaniment key. If the MAIN [A] or [B] button is pressed while the ENDING section is playing, an appropriate fillin will be played, followed by a return to the MAIN A or B section. The accompaniment volume can be adjusted independently of the main keyboard volume via the AcompVol function in the OVERALL function group see page 69.

SYNCSTART/STOP

s The Stop Accompaniment Function
While the SINGLE or FINGERED mode is selected chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are also detected and played by the PSR-520 Auto Accompaniment system when the accompaniment is stopped (except when the FULL FINGERED mode is engaged). In this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically.
Accompaniment Track Control
The PSR-520 has eight accompaniment tracks RHYTHM 1/2, BASS, CHORD 1/2, PAD, and PHRASE 1/2 that you can control to modify the orchestration and therefore the overall sound of the accompaniment. When the power switch is turned ON or an accompaniment style is selected, RHYTHM 1, CHORD 1 and PHRASE 1 tracks appear on the display. RHYTHM 2, CHORD 2 and PHRASE 2 tracks can be selected by moving the cursor [<] or [>] button from track to track when the cursor is located at one < > of the track icons. If the RHYTHM 1 track is selected and the cursor is moved once to the right, for example, the cursor will not actually move but RHYTHM 2 will appear in place of RHYTHM 1 and the parameters for the RHYTHM 2 track can be changed as required. The same applies to the CHORD 1 and 2, and PHRASE 1 and 2 tracks. q Whats in the Tracks
RHYTHM 1 ON / OFF BASS CHORD 1 PAD PHRASE 1
The icons for all tracks that contain data in any section will appear whenever an accompaniment style is selected.

RHYTHM 1&2 BASS

Both these tracks provide the drum and/or percussion sounds. The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit the selected style acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc. Both these tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by each style. Youll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here. This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir. This is where the musical embellishments reside. The PHRASE tracks are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accompaniment more interesting.

CHORD 1&2

PAD PHRASE 1&2
s Large/Small Accompaniment...
The simplest form of accompaniment track control is provided by the [ACCOMP LARGE/SMALL] button. This button alternately turns the appropriate track (s) ON and OFF, thereby changing the number of parts in the accompaniment. When the LARGE accompaniment is selected and accompaniment tracks are ON, their respective icons will appear in the appropriate positions in the display. When the SMALL accompaniment is selected, some tracks for that style will be turned OFF and their respective icons will disappear.

Music Cartridge registration settings can be recalled in the same way see page 63. If the Accomp Freeze function is ON when a REGISTRATION MEMORY is recalled, the registration number will flash. Registration bank 01 can be instantly recalled by simultaneously pressing the [/NO] and [+/ YES] buttons. When the One Touch Setting is ON, registration memory data can not be recalled.
The Accomp Freeze Function
When the ACCOMP FREEZE function is engaged, the accompaniment parameters listed above will not be changed when a REGISTRATION MEMORY is recalled. This allows you to recall different REGISTRATION MEMORY settings while using Auto Accompaniment, without suddenly disturbing the flow of the accompaniment. The ACCOMP FREEZE function is turned ON and OFF by pressing the [ACCOMP FREEZE] button. The FREEZE indicator appears in the REGIST area in the display when it is turned ON.
Accomp Freeze remains ON even if a different registration bank is selected. When you recall the REGISTRATION MEMORY settings while song recording or playback, only the voice parameter settings can be recalled even if the ACCOMP FREEZE function is turned OFF.
The PSR-520 SONG TRACKS allows you to record and play back complete songs including chord sequences created using the Auto Accompaniment feature and a melody line you play on the keyboard. The SONG TRACKS include one ACCOMP track and two MELODY tracks. The PSR-520 can retain up to 8 complete songs in internal memory, and these can be selected and played back simply by selecting the appropriate SONG. The song numbers 26 through 33 are the area for your own creation (user songs).
Material recorded on the SONG TRACKs is retained in memory even when the POWER switch is turned OFF if batteries are present or an AC adaptor is connected. The recorded data will be lost if the power is turned OFF, the AC adaptor is unplugged, or the batteries fail during recording. For 8 songs, up to approximately 4200 notes in the MELODY tracks, or 2100 chords in the ACCOMP tracks can be recorded.
