THE SPLIT MODE
The PSR-400/PSR-500 SPLIT mode — selected via the
[MODE] button — allows you to play two voices at once:
one with the left hand and one with the right. The left-
hand voice can be played to the left of the “split point,”
set as described in “SPLIT POINT CHANGE” on page
13, and the right-hand voice can be played to the right of
the split point.
When the SPLIT mode is first selected the current voice
is assigned to the right-hand keys. The right-hand voice
number will be shown on the right two digits of the
MULTI DISPLAY, and the left-hand voice number will
appear on the left two digits of the MULTI DISPLAY
when a key to the left of the split point is pressed for
about 2 seconds (the “SPLIT VOICE” dot in the display
also will light).

When the SPLIT MODE is used with the DUAL VOICE function
(see page 23) different dual voices can be assigned to the left-
and right-hand sections of the keyboard. Press a key to the right

REVERB DEPTH ( psr -500 only)
The depth of the selected DSP effect can be increased
or decreased for the selected voice by using the REVERB
DEPTH [A] or [T] button. The reverb depth range is
from 0 (no effect) to 15 (maximum reverb depth). The
reverb depth is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY while the
REVERB DEPTH
[A] or [T] button is held, and for ap­
proximately 2 seconds after either REVERB DEPTH
button is released. Pressing both the REVERB DEPTH
[A] and [T] buttons simultaneously immediately selects
reverb depth value 6.

No effect is produced when the reverb depth is set to 0. From
settings 1 to 8 the original sound is maintained at the same level
while the level of the effect sound is increased. From settings 9
to 15 the effect level is maintained while the level of the original
sound is reduced.
In the SPLIT mode the left-hand voice reverb depth can be
adjusted after playing a left-hand key and the right-hand voice
reverb depth can be adjusted after playing a right-hand key.
VOLUME
Although the MASTER VOLUME control can be used
to set the overall volume level, the VOLUME [A] and
[▼] buttons can be used to adjust the volume of the se­
lected voice in relation to all other sound produced by the
PSR-400/PSR-500 — i.e. accompaniment, song memory,
etc. Press the
[A] button to increase the volume, or the
[▼] 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.
