Voice Change - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-540 Owner's Manual

Voice R1, R2, L
• When one of the DSP types belonging to the Insertion Effect (page
50) is selected, the effect will be exclusively applied to the Voice R1
and not to the Voice R2/L. Therefore the DSP depth for the Voice R2/
L cannot be changed. Also, the DSP depth for the Voice R1 cannot be
altered depending on the selected Insertion Effect type.
• Save any part settings you want to keep to the PSR-540 Registration
Memory (page 54). The voice part settings are temporary and will be
lost if the power is turned off, a different R1 panel voice is selected
while the Voice Set function (page 120) is on, or a Registration
Memory is recalled.
Song
• Make sure to first select the appropriate song for which you wish to
set the part before calling up the relevant display.
• Any part settings made for the song will be lost if you turn off the
power, select another song, or select the Style mode (after finishing
the part settings). To prevent this, make sure to select the Recording
mode and save the song data to disk (page 78).
