Muting Specific Parts

By turning off (muting) the left- or right-hand
melody part, or both, you can practice playing those
parts on the PSR-6000 keyboard. The PSR-6000
also makes it possible to mute the rhythm, bass, and
accompaniment parts. Sheet music is provided with
the Disk Orchestra Collection disks.
Press the MUTE LCD button (from the VOL-
UME display) and use the RHY, BASS, ACC.,
LEFT, and/or RIGHT LCD dials to set the corre-
sponding part to PLAY, MUTE, or SOLO.
PLAY The corresponding part plays normally.
MUTE The corresponding part is muted and will
not play.
SOLO Only the corresponding part will play — all
others are muted.
Press the VOLUME LCD button when you want to go
back to the volume-control display.
NOTES
• The left and right-hand parts cannot be played separately on
some songs.
• The appropriate voice for the part you are going to play is
automatically selected when you select a song (When "ALL"
is selected, the voice for the first song is automatically selected).

The OCTAVE and TRANSPOSE/TUNE LCD
buttons function in exactly the same way as in the normal play mode (page 17, 18).
