Knob A can now be used to adjust the filter cutoff frequency, and Knob B can be used to adjust the resonance.
Rotate Knob B to its maximum setting (all the way to the right), then play with the right hand while operating Knob A with the left hand.
Rotating the knob to the right while the volume is set to a high level can result in distortion. If this occurs, reduce the volume level. If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the ideal settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the same way, if the v STYLE FILTER effect is selected, the knobs will be reset if a different style is selected. If you create an original setting you like, it might be a good idea to save it in the instruments Registration Memory (page 48) so you can recall the same settings again at any time. You can also record performances using original sounds youve created (page 43).
Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are first operated after the new effect has been selected.

Holding the LEFT part Voice (Left Hold) This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be held even when the keys are released. Non-decaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed).

Voice Types

Percussion/Drum Voices When one of the Voices is selected from this button, you can play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the keyboard. Details are given in the Drum List provided in the Data List on the website. Preset Voices [USER] button (page 30) Organ Flutes Voices (page 37)
MegaVoices What makes MegaVoices special is their use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specic velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, theyre not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI dataespecially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. Super Articulation Voices (S.Art!) (PSR-S910) The Super Articulation Voices provide many of same benets as the MegaVoices, but with greater playability and expressive control in real time. For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath. Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice, the D note would sound as a hammer on, without the string being plucked again. Depending on how you play, other effects such as shake or breath noises (for the Trumpet Voice), or nger noises (for the Guitar Voice) will be produced. For details on how to best play each Super Articulation Voice, call up the information window (pressing the [7 ] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).

MegaVoices and Super Articulation Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply HARMONY/ECHO effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
Voice Characteristics The Voice type and its dening characteristics are indicated above the Voice nameLive!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. For detailed explanation, refer to the Reference Manual. In this section, only MegaVoice and Super Articulation Voice are explained. These Voices have special characteristics you should be aware of, and they require specic performance techniques to bring out all of their expressive qualities.
MegaVoices and Super Articulation Voices are only compatible with other models which have those types of Voices installed. Any Song, Style or Multi Pads data youve created on the instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments.
Transposing the Pitch of the Keyboard
The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons transpose the overall pitch of the instrument (the keyboard sound, Style playback, Song playback, and so on) in semitone steps. Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the transpose value to 0.
The Transpose functions do not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices.
You can also change the transpose settings in the MIXING CONSOLE display: [MIXING CONSOLE] TAB E F [E][F] TUNE [1 ] [3 ] TRANSPOSE.
The UPPER OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons allow the pitch of the RIGHT 1 and 2 parts to be shifted up or down by one octave. Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the octave value to 0.
