PSR-S975/S775 Reference Manual
VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the vol-
ume responds to your playing strength.
TOUCH SENSE DEPTH
Changes to velocity curve according to
VelDepth (with Offset set to 64)
Actual Velocity for
tone generator

DEPTH: Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the
Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
OFFSET: Determines the amount by which received velocities are
adjusted for the actual velocity effect.
PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When
the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 param-
eter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the
LEFT parameter is available.
MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or poly-
phonically. This setting can also be made from the VOICE EFFECT
[MONO] button on the panel.
MONO TYPE Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar,
when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to MONO
above.
When NORMAL is selected, the next note sounds after the previous note
is stopped. When LEGATO is selected, the sound of the previously played
note is maintained and only the pitch changes to that of the next note.
This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices, Organ Flute Voices and Drum/SFX Kit
Voices, and behaves the same as the NORMAL setting when these Voices are selected.
When LEGATO is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be different from
NORMAL, depending on the panel settings.
PORTAMENTO Determines the pitch transition time when the edited Voice is set to
TIME MONO above.
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.
