Record Functions

The PSR-510 RECORDING section controls three recording functions:

The SONG MEMORY:

Record complete songs including an accompaniment track and up to five melody tracks. Each

PAGE MEMORY holds a different song.

MULTI PADS:

Record short chord, melody, or rhythm sequences that can be played back anytime by simply

pressing a button. Each PAGE MEMORY holds different MULTI PAD data.

CUSTOM ACCOMPANIMENT:

Create your own accompaniment style for use with the PSR-510 Auto Accompaniment feature.

Each PAGE MEMORY holds a different custom accompaniment.

Operation of all three functions is essentially the same, so once you're familiar with the basic proce-

dure, recording songs, multi-pad phrases, or custom accompaniments should be easy. We'll start with

the SONG MEMORY.

The PSR-510 SONG MEMORY allows you to record and play back complete songs including chord sequences

created using the Auto Accompaniment feature and melody lines you play on the keyboard. The SONG MEMORY

has one ACCOMP track and five MELODY tracks. You also have a choice of realtime and step recording modes: the

realtime mode records what you play as you play it; the step mode lets you record one step at a time.

Each PAGE MEMORY holds a different song, so the PSR-510 can retain up to 4 complete songs in memory, and

these can be selected and played back simply by selecting the appropriate PAGE MEMORY.
