  • Page 14 Selecting & Playing the Voices You can assign any of the PSR-410’s 128 voices to each of the ORCHESTRATION parts, whether the part is currently ON or OFF. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | You don’t need to do this if the [VOICE SELECT] indicator is already...
  • Page 15 You can individually set the volume of each orchestration part to set up the ideal balance between parts. You can individually shift the octave of each orchestration part up or down by up to two octaves. This makes it easy, for example, to lower the pitch of a bass voice to an appropriate octave without affecting the other parts in your orchestration.
  • Page 16 Selecting & Playing the Voices The PSR-410 delivers true stereo sound, and you can use this parameter to individually set the stereo (pan) position of each orchestration part to create a broad stereo image of your sound. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the ORCHESTRATION [EDIT] button to select the part you want to edit.
  • Page 17 Auto Harmony is used with the PSR-410’s Auto Accompaniment feature except for Full fingering mode (see page 20). It automatically adds appropriate harmony notes to a single-note melody line you play on the key- board. You can choose from 10 different types of harmony that can be assigned to the right-hand orchestration parts.
  • Page 18 Selecting & Playing the Voices The PSR-410 has 8 different drum and percussion “kits” that can be played on the keyboard when the Key- board Percussion function is turned ON. The types of drum and percussion instruments played by the various keys when Keyboard Percussion function is selected are marked by symbols above the keys.

  • Page 21 The PSR-410 [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-410 up or down in semi- tone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-410 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist.

  • Page 22: Auto Accompaniment

    The illustrations here are not available. Any of the PSR-410’s 80 accompaniment styles can be selected via the normal editing procedure. This can be done either before or during accompaniment playback. See page 49 for descriptions of all 80 styles.
  • Page 23 The PSR-410 has 5 Auto Accompaniment fingering modes, selected via the [FINGERING] button. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To set the Auto Accompaniment split point, first turn Auto Accompani- ment ON —...
  • Page 24 The Chord 1 mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the Auto Ac- companiment feature. The PSR-410 will accept the following chord types:...
  • Page 25 Simultaneously press the root key and both a white and black key to its left. This is a combination of the Single and Chord 1 modes. In this mode the PSR-410 automatically discriminates between Single and Chord 1 mode fingerings and generates the appropriate accompaniment.
  • Page 26 Chords played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are also detected and played by the PSR-410 Auto Accompaniment system when the accompaniment is stopped (except for Full fingering mode). In this case the bass note and chord voices are selected automatically.
  • Page 27 The PSR-410 provides a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, variations on the main pattern, ending — that you can select to control the “flow” of the accompaniment to achieve the desired musical results. Accompaniment start/stop and sections are controlled by the ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL buttons.
  • Page 28 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any of the PSR-410 accompaniment patterns can be started with an ap- propriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO] button and then the [START/STOP] button.
  • Page 29 While the VOICE control section [VOL] button can be used to set the volume levels of the orchestration parts, the [ACCOMP VOLUME] button can be used to adjust the volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to the voices. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNC-START/STOP] button.

  • Page 44 The PSR-410 MIDI IN connector receives MIDI data from an external MIDI device which can be used to control the PSR-410. The MIDI OUT connector transmits MIDI data generated by the PSR-410 (e.g. note and velocity data produced by playing the keyboard).
  • Page 45 MIDI bulk dump operations allow large amounts of MIDI data to be transmitted from one device to another. The entire contents of the currently selected PSR-410 PAGE MEMORY (MULTI PADS, SONG MEMORY, REGISTRATION MEMORY) can be dumped to a second PSR-410 or to a bulk storage device such as a MIDI data recorder or MIDI computer.
  • Page 46 MIDI The PSR-410 will automatically receive bulk dump data from another PSR-410 or MIDI data storage de- vice as long as the MIDI OUT terminal of the external device is properly connected to the MIDI IN connector of the PSR-410, and PSR-410 MIDI reception is enabled.
  • Page 47 The [RECEIVE CH/CL/COM] button is used to specify the reception mode for each of the 16 MIDI channels, the internal or external clock mode, and MIDI start/stop command reception mode. The PSR-410 allows any of five reception modes to be individually assigned to MIDI channels 1 through 16. The five modes are: RX OFF: Reception disabled.
  • Page 48 PSR-410’s time-based functions (Auto Accompaniment, SONG MEMORY, etc.) are controlled by its own inter- nal clock, the speed of which is set by the PSR-410 [TEMPO] button. When MIDI clock reception is enabled, however, all timing is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the PSR-410 MIDI IN terminal (the PSR-410 [TEMPO] setting has no effect).
  • Page 49 The PSR-410 allows any of the 16 MIDI transmit channels to be assigned to the R ORCHESTRATION voices. The R ORCHESTRATION voices can be set to transmit on any of the 16 MIDI channels as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Press the [TRANSMIT CH] button to set the R voice transmit channel.
  • Page 50 The PSR-410 can play up to 28 individual notes at the same time (i.e. it has a maximum “polyphony” of 28). This number includes all voices used: dual, split, auto accompaniment, song memory, and multi pads. If the maximum polyphony of the PSR-410 is exceeded, the excess notes will be truncated (they will not sound).
