PSR-S970/S770 Owner’s Manual
You can apply various effects to enhance or change the sound of the keyboard parts (LEFT, RIGHT 1 and 2). The
effects can be turned on or off by using the following buttons.
• HARMONY/ARPEGGIO
The Harmony or Arpeggio is applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to “Applying
Harmony/Echo to Your Right-hand Melody” (see below) or “Triggering Arpeggios
with Your Right Hand” (page 44).
• TOUCH
This button turns the Touch Response of the keyboard on or off. When off, the same
volume is produced no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard.
• SUSTAIN
When this Sustain function is on, all notes played on the keyboard with right-hand
part (RIGHT 1 and 2) have a longer sustain.
• MONO
When this button is on, the part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note at
the time) with last note priority, letting you play single, lead sounds such as brass
instruments more realistically. Depending on the Voice, Portamento may be
produced when notes are played with legato.
When this button is off, the part’s Voice is played polyphonically.
• DSP/DSP VARI.
With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to
your music in a variety of ways — such as adding reverb that makes you sound like
you are playing in a concert hall.
The [DSP] button is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off
for the currently selected keyboard part.
The [DSP VARI.] button is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. For
example, this could be used to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary
speaker effect while you play.
Performance effects such as harmony (duet, trio, etc.), echo, tremolo and trill can be applied to notes played in the
right-hand section of the keyboard according to the chord specified in the left-hand section of the keyboard.
