The Organ Flutes function lets you create your own original organ voices, just as on a traditional organ, by increasing and decreasing the flute footages, and adding percussive sounds. Your original organ voice is stored to voice number 761 (Organ Flutes) for selecting and playing.

s Parameters

q Organ Type This determines the type of organ sound or tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage. The vibrato-enhanced variations provide different modulation effects. Settings: SINE1 SINE2 SINE3 SINE4 VINTAGE1 VINTAGE2 VINTAGE3 VINTAGE4 q Vibrato Speed This determines the speed of the vibrato effect (when one of the vibratoenhanced Organ Types is selected). q Attack Mode This determines how the attack (or percussive) sound is applied to the organ flutes: First or Each. When this is set to FIRST, the attack sound will only be applied to the first note in a chord or a held group of notes. When this is set to EACH, the attack sound will be applied equally to all notes. q Attack Footage This determines the level of each volume in the percussive portion of the voice. Footage settings are 4', 2-2/3', and 2'. q Length This determines the decay of the attack sound, or how long the attack portion of the sound sustains. The higher the value, the longer the decay. q Response This parameter affects the sustain portion of the organ flutes, increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE parameter (below). The higher the value, the slower the swell and release. q Footage The footage settings determine the basic sound of the organ flutes. The term footage is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1' setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.

If DSP Insertion Effect is selected (page 54), you wont be able to set the DSP Return Level.
Adjust the DSP return level.
System Effects and Insertion Effects
The reverb, chorus and DSP effects are divided into two different types or methods or operation. There are two types of digital effects: system effects and insertion effects.
q System Effects Applies the effect to all of the parts input to the mixer. You can set the amount of effect applied with the depth and return level parameters. Reverb and chorus are both system effects. q Insertion Effects Applies the effect to only one designated part before inputting the signal to the mixer. You can effectively use the digital effects by applying the desired effect to the specific part. With the insertion effects, only the DSP depth can be set.
The illustration below with the various audio components (instruments, effect devices, and a mixer) represents the inner workings of the DSP effects of the PSR-740/640.

Refer to About Digital Effects (page 152) and the Type List.
Multi Effects (DSP1-3) (PSR-740)
The PSR-740 has a multi effect system featuring three separate DSP effect blocks. These three blocks can be connected in any one of six different ways, providing an exceptionally flexible and powerful system for enhancing the sound of the voices.
Press any of the [DSP1] - [DSP3] buttons.
Depending on the effect setting (below), the selected DSP multi effect is applied to one of the keyboard-played voices (R1, R2, L).
When the Voice Set function is ON (page 136), the Multi Effect (DSP1-3, FAST/ SLOW) on/off status will be set automatically according to the selected R1 panel voice. Some of the song files may contain Multi Effect settings. When you play back such songs, DSP and FAST/ SLOW buttons on the panel will automatically be turned off.

While the VOICE menu is selected, press the [REVOICE] button (actually, the order here is not important: you can also press the [VOICE] button after pressing the [REVOICE] button). The [REVOICE] button indicator will light and the R1 voice track will be bracketed by two horizontal bars (i.e. the R1 voice is initially selected for revoicing).
The VOICE REVOICE mode will automatically be selected if the [REVOICE] button is pressed while any menu other than STYLE or SONG is selected. The VOICE REVOICE mode cannot be selected while one of the record modes is engaged.
2 If Necessary Select a Voice to Revoice
Use the three rightmost TRACK buttons to select the voice you want to revoice: L, R2, or R1. The selected tracks will be bracketed by two horizontal bars.
The TRACK button below the selected voice can be used to turn the voice on or off. Make sure that the voice is turned on if you want to monitor the sound while revoicing (the R1 voice cannot be turned off).
3 Select and Edit the Revoice Parameters
Use the SUB MENU [v] and [w] buttons to select the desired parameter. The name of the selected parameter will appear on the top line of the display to the right of the parameters current value. Use the [] and [+] buttons, the number buttons, or the data dial to set the parameters value as required. Refer to the Revoice Parameters chart on page 111.
You can jump directly to the REVOICE R2 VOICE display by pressing and holding the [DUAL VOICE] button for a few seconds. You can jump directly to the REVOICE L VOICE display by pressing and holding the [SPLIT VOICE] button for a few seconds.

When the DSP type is set as insertion, the DSP depth parameter cannot be changed. The REVOICE mode will automatically be exited if the MENU [v ] and [w ] buttons are used to select any of the menus to the left of the display.

Voice List

s Maximum Polyphony
The PSR-730 has 64-note maximum polyphony and the PSR-630 has 32. Auto Accompaniment uses a number of the available notes, so when Auto Accompaniment is used the total number of notes that can be played on the keyboard is correspondingly reduced. The same applies to the Dual Voice, Split Voice, Multi Pad, and Song functions. When the maximum polyphony is exceeded, notes are played using lastnote priority. [PSR-730] Panel Voice List
