Selecting Voices in the Split mode:
In the Split mode, voices can be selected and played separately in the left and right-hand sections of the key-
board.
To select left and
right-hand voices:
1. If the VOICE indicator is not lit, press the VOICE/STYLE
(/SOUND EFFECT) button once or twice so that it lights.
2.
To change the right-hand voice press any keyboard key to the
right of the Split Point, then select a voice in the normal way.
The current right-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DIS-
PLAY and a new right-hand voice can be selected.
3. To change the left-hand voice press any key to the left of the
Split Point, then select a voice in the normal way.
The current left-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DIS-
PLAY and a new left-hand voice can be selected.
When the Split mode is first selected the current voice is assigned to the right-
hand section of the keyboard and voice number 87 (WOOD BASS) will be
assigned as the default voice to the left-hand section of the keyboard.
The left-hand voice is octave-shifted to provide the best sound in the left-hand
range.
Transpose
The PSR-210 and PSR-310 TRANSPOSE buttons make it possible to shift the pitch of the entire keyboard up or
down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-
210 or PSR-310 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can simply match the pitch
of the keyboard to the range of a singer or another instrumentalist.
1 2
To transpose the keyboard range:
1. Press the TRA or - button.
The first time the TRA or - button is pressed, the current
transpose value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY and remain for ap-
proximately 2 seconds afterwards.
2. While the current transpose value is still showing on the dis-
play, press the TRA or - button to raise or lower the
pitch.
Holding down either button raises or lowers the pitch continuously.
The normal transpose value (0) can be recalled at any time by pressing both
the TRA and - buttons at the same time.
Transpose does not affect the voice number 00 (DRUM KIT).
