Description
The split voice can be changed as required while the number
and name of the current split voice appear on the top line of
the display.
Sets the volume of the split voice so you can create the opti-
mum blend with the right-hand voice. The volume range is
from "00" (no sound) to "127" (maximum split voice volume).
Shifts the pitch of the split voice up or down one or two oc-
taves. "–1" is down one octave, "–2" is down two octaves; "+1"
and "+2" are up one and two octaves, respectively.
Sets the reverb send level for the split voice. The reverb send
level determines the amount of signals input to the reverb
effect. The level range is from "00" (no effect) to "127" (maxi-
mum effect).
Sets the chorus send level for the split voice. The chorus send
level determines the amount of signals input to the chorus
effect. The level range is from "00" (no effect) to "127" (maxi-
mum effect).
Positions the split voice in the stereo sound field. The pan
range is from "–7" to "+7". "–7" is full left and "+7" is full right.
Sets the keyboard split point — i.e. the key that separates the
left- and right-hand voices (the split-point key is included in the
left-hand section of the keyboard). Simply press the key you
want to assign as the split point. The key number of the key
you press will appear to the left of "S.Split" on the top line of
the display. You can also use the [–/NO] and [+/YES] buttons,
the number buttons or the data dial to enter the split point key
number. The lowest key on the keyboard (C1) is key number
"36", middle C (C3) is "60", and the highest key (C6) is 96. The
split point can be set at any key number from 00 through 127,
allowing the split point to be set outside the range of the PSR-
A3 keyboard for MIDI applications. The default split point is 59
(B2).
