This mode provides automatic rhythm, bass, and orchestra
accompaniment that you can control by playing just one,
two, or three keys in the left-hand section of the keyboard.
See page 18 for details.
FINGERED
The FINGERED mode provides automatic rhythm, bass,
and orchestra accompaniment based on chords you play in

details.
• DSP
(Digital Sound Processing — PSR-500 only)
The [DSP] button provides two digital effects that you
can use for extra depth and expressive power. This button
determines the type of effect to be used, while the
REVERB DEPTH controls in the VOICE section allow
the depth of the effect to be individually set for each voice
— including the left- and right-hand split voices, and the
main and sub dual voices.
Each time the [DSP] button is pressed the next effect is
selected and the corresponding indicator will light. No
effect is selected when the OFF indicator is lit.
OOFF
•ROOM
OHALL
ROOM
This setting adds a reverb effect to the sound that is
similar to the type of acoustic reverberation you would
hear in a room.
HALL
For a spacious reverb sound, use the HALL setting.
This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a concert
hall. •
• Almost all of the auto accompaniment styles are programmed to
use the DSP effects, but no effect will be produced If DSP is set
to OFF.
MASTER VOLUME
Use the MASTER VOLUME control to adjust the over­
all volume of the PSR-400/PSR-500 — including the
sound of the voices being played, auto accompaniment,
song memory playback, etc.

ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME
Although the MASTER VOLUME control can be used
to set the overall volume level, the ACCOMPANIMENT
VOLUME [A] and [T] buttons can be used to adjust the
volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to the
right-hand melody voice. Press the [A] button to increase
the volume, or the [T] button to decrease the volume. The
selected volume level will be displayed on the MULTI
DISPLAY while the volume is being adjusted, and for
approximately 2 seconds after either VOLUME button is
released.

SPLIT voice :
The volume range is from 0 to 24. A setting of 0 pro­
duces no sound while 24 is the highest volume level. The
default accompaniment volume value (21) can be recalled
at any time by pressing both the ACCOMPANIMENT
VOLUME
[A] and [T] buttons at the same time,
• When this parameter has been changed, be sure to store the
new data to a PAGE MEMORY (see page 13). If this is not done
the newly selected data will be lost when a different PAGE
MEMORY is selected.
PITCH BEND
The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard
allows the pitch notes to be bent up or down — roll the
wheel away from you to bend up, and toward you to bend
down (this situation can be reversed, as described below).
When the PITCH BEND wheel is moved almost all the
way in either direction, the current pitch bend range value
will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY (see below).
