Making Midi Settings - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-A1000 Owner's Manual

Making Settings for the Pedals and
Keyboard — Controller
I Pedal (page 123)
These settings determine how the connected foot
pedals (including foot controllers and footswitches)
are used. They can be assigned to a variety of
functions, letting you control operations with your
feet — such as turning the accompaniment style on/
off, or triggering Fill In patterns.
I Keyboard / Panel (page 125)
These settings determine the touch sensitivity of the
keyboard (how touch affects volume), and the pitch
transpose settings (for the keyboard, song data, and
entire instrument).
Setting the Registration Sequence, Freeze,
and Voice Set
I Registration Sequence (page 126)
This determines the order in which the Registration
Memory presets (1 - 8) are called up — by using the
[BACK][NEXT] buttons or the pedal.
I Freeze (page 126)
This lets you specify the settings you want to be
maintained or left unchanged, even when changing
Registration Memory presets.
I Voice Set (page 127)
This lets you determine whether certain voice-related
settings (such as Effects, Harmony, etc.) are
automatically called up or not when you select a
voice.
Setting Harmony and Echo (page 127)
These let you set the type of Harmony or Echo effect
applied to the keyboard-played voices, as well as the
amount of effect.

each channel.
I Receive (page 131)
This determines how the parts of the PSR-A1000

which parts are assigned to which MIDI Receive
channels. This also lets you specify the type of data to
be received over each channel.

This determines the channel(s) recognized for the root
notes, for use with the auto accompaniment.
