Dsp Return Level; Harmony - Yamaha Portatone PSR-530 Owner's Manual

Digital Effects
The DspRtnLv (DSP Return Level) parameter sets the amount of DSP effect
returned from the DSP effect stage, thus making it possible to adjust the degree of DSP
effect applied to the overall sound.
1
Select the Digital Effect "DspRtnLv" Function
Use the MENU [ ] and [ ] buttons to move the triangular indicator in the display
next to "DIGITAL EFFECT", then use the SUB MENU [ ] and [ ] buttons to select
"DspRtnLv".
2
Set the DSP Return Level
Use the [–] and [+] buttons, number buttons, or data dial to set the desired DSP
return level (the current return level value appears to the left of "DspRtnLv" on the
display). The range is from "0" to "127". The higher the value the greater the return
level.

Harmony

When HARMONY is on, playing single notes or chords on the right-hand section
of the keyboard produces automatic harmony matched to the accompaniment chords
(AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT must be on). Harmony is applied to the R1 voice. When
chords are played the harmony is based on the last note played (i.e. last-note priority).
The PSR-530 has 16 different harmony types, as listed below.
