Voice Selection Method 2:
The [+] and [-] buttons in the numeric VOICE SELECT
button group can be used to increment (increase by one)
or decrement (decrease by one) the current voice number.
Press the [4] button briefly to select the voice one number
higher than the current voice, or the [-] button to select the
voice one number lower than the current voice. If you
hold the [+] or [-] button down, the voice number will
increment or decrement continuously — simply release
the button when the desired voice number has been
reached.
VOICE SELECT
@ Note that the PSR-500M keyboard has "touch re-
sponse" — that is, you can control the loudness of the
sound to a certain degree according to how hard you
play the keys. The degree of touch sensitivity is differ-
ent for each voice. For example, the piano and percus-
sion voices are very responsive to keyboard touch,
while the organ voices have no touch response at all.
Keyboard Percussion
When any of the percussion voices is selected (voice
numbers 94 through 99), you can play a range of drum
and percussion instruments on the keyboard.
The percussion instruments played by the various keys
when voice 98 PERCUSSIONS W/GATE or 99
PERCUSSIONS are selected are marked by symbols
above the keys.
* The TRANSPOSE, TUNING, and OCTAVE functions described
on pages 12 and 24 do not affect the percussion sounds. The
percussion sounds are affected, however, by the PITCH BEND,
PAN, and VOICE section VOLUME, REVERB DEPTH, MIDI
CHANNEL, and HARMONY controls.
