Harmony/Echo
................................................................................................................................................................................
This feature adds harmony or embellishment notes to a melody
you play using the RIGHT 1, LEAD, or RIGHT 2 parts.
The PSR-8000 includes the following Harmony/Echo ef-
fects (these are independent from the DSP effects controlled via
the mixing console — page 42):
The effect to be applied, the volume of the effect in relation
to the keyboard sound, the speed of the repeat-based effects, and
the part(s) to which the effect will apply, can all be set via the
F5: HARMONY/ECHO function page described on page 129.
The PSR-8000 Harmony/Echo effect is engaged by pressing
the VOICE EFFECT [HARMONY/ECHO] button so that its
indicator lights. To turn Harmony/Echo off press the [HAR-
MONY/ECHO] button a second time so that the indicator goes
out.
• Press the [HARMONY/ECHO] button while holding the
[DIRECT ACCESS] button to jump directly to the F5:
HARMONY/ECHO function page.
• When multiple right-hand notes are played, Harmony/Echo is applied
to the last-played note (last-note priority).
• Harmony/Echo effects do not work with the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices.
• In the AUTO ASSIGN mode, harmony is applied to the highest-priority
part among those currently turned on. The part priorities are, from
highest to lowest: R1
→
LEAD
→
R2. It is also possible to specify the
part to which harmony will be applied via the F5 HARMONY/ECHO
function page.

Harmony-based Effects
Types 1 through 8 and 10 are harmony effects which produce
harmony based on the current AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT
chord (see “NOTES” below for conditions).
• Harmony types 1 through 8 and 10 will function only when AUTO
ACCOMPANIMENT is ON and a fingering mode other than FULL
KEYBOARD or MANUAL BASS is selected.
• No harmony is produced when no chord is detected.
• Harmony types 1 through 8 and 10 produce unison harmony during
auto-accompaniment intros and endings.
●
Repeat-based Effects & Multi Assign
Effects 9 and 12 through 14 are repeat-based effects which do
not depend on AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT chord detection.
These effects will function at any time (even when AUTO
ACCOMPANIMENT is off), except when the FULL KEY-
BOARD fingering mode is active.
The MULTI ASSIGN effect (number 11) is a little different,
and may need some explanation. MULTI ASSIGN automati-
