................................................................................................................................................................................................

Press the [HARMONY] button to turn the HARMONY effect on or

off. When HARMONY is on (indicator lit), playing single notes or

chords on the right-hand section of the keyboard produces automatic

harmony matched to the accompaniment chords. The harmony function

can be turned on when AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment is off, but

in this case the harmony produced will consist only of unison and/or

octave notes.

NOTES

• The type of harmony produced can be selected via the HARMONY EASY

SETTING display, or via the HARMONY function display. See page 114 for

details.

• The harmony is based on the ABC chords, and is added to the highest note played

except when only the LEAD voice is on, in which case the harmony notes are

added to the last note played.

• The HARMONY feature cannot be turned on when the FULL KEYBOARD ABC

mode is selected.

Sustain

....................................................................................................................................................................................................

Press the [SUSTAIN] button to turn the sustain effect on or off. When

on (indicator lit), extra sustain is applied to the selected voice. When

sustain is applied via a footswitch, however, the panel [SUSTAIN]

button will not function.

NOTES

• Sustain can be applied to any combination of the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2 and

LEAD voices via the SUSTAIN BUTTON parameter available via the SUSTAIN

EASY SETTING display or the CONTROLLER function display. See page 104 for

details.

• The sustain effect may not produce the same effect for all voices.

Touch Response

..........................................................................................................................................................................

The touch response function turns the PSR-4000's keyboard velocity

response on or off. Normally, touch response should be turned on — the

[TOUCH RESPONSE] button indicator should be lit — to allow

normal dynamic control via the keyboard (i.e. the harder the keys are

played, the louder the sound). In some cases, however, you might want

to turn touch response off (indicator off). For example, most organs have

no keyboard velocity response, so touch response can be turned off for

greater realism when playing organ type voices. Touch response can also

be turned off to create a constant-volume sound with any voice.

Use the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn touch response on or

off as required.
