Change the track parts, if required.
The default part for each track is displayed above the REC
setting. The parts can be changed as required by pressing the
PART SEL. LCD button (the part names for each track will be
highlighted), selecting the desired parts via the corresponding
LCD dials (see list below). When the parts have been changed,
press the REC SEL. LCD button (the PART SEL. LCD button
will have changed to the REC SEL. LCD button) again to return
to the normal track setup mode.
The available parts for all tracks are:
LEAD
RIGHT1
RIGHT 2
LEFT
MULTI PAD 1 ... 4
RHYTHM 1
RHYTHM 2
• When the MIDI "part" is selected (only effective when the MIDI receive mode is set to "XG/GM" via the F9: MIDI functions — page
136) all received MIDI data will be recorded on the corresponding track. If only one track is set to MIDI, data received on all channels
will be recorded to that track. If 2 or more tracks are set to MIDI, MIDI data will be received on the correspondingly numbered MIDI
channels (i.e. track 1 = MIDI channel 1, track 2 = MIDI channel 2, etc.).
• When VOCAL is selected the VOCAL HARMONY on/off, type, and parameter settings are recorded. Note data for the VOCAL
HARMONY Vocoder type harmony notes can be recorded when the VOCAL HARMONY feature is on, the Vocoder type is selected,
and the harmony part parameter is not turned off. Note data recorded in this way only affects the VOCAL HARMONY sound, and
does not actually play the PSR-8000 voices. The recorded volume, pan, detune, modulation, and pitch bend data will also affect
the harmony notes for any VOCAL HARMONY type during playback.
