Panel Controller

MODULATION WHEEL
Determines to which of the PSR-9000 voices the MODULATION wheel will apply.
INITIAL TOUCH
With this function, the PSR-9000 senses how strongly or softly you play the keys, and uses
that playing strength to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the selected voice.
This allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your playing tech-
nique.
Select the desired sensitivity curve
(listed at right).
AFTER TOUCH
With this function, the PSR-9000 senses how much pressure you apply to the keys while
playing, and uses that pressure to affect the sound in various ways, depending on the
selected voice. This allows you to play with greater expressiveness and add effects with your
playing technique.
Select the desired sensitivity curve
listed at the right side.
