■ Harmony/Echo................................................................................................................................................................................

This feature adds harmony or embellishment notes to a melody

you play using the RIGHT 1, LEAD, or RIGHT 2 parts.

The PSR-8000 includes the following Harmony/Echo ef-

fects (these are independent from the DSP effects controlled via

the mixing console — page 42):

The effect to be applied, the volume of the effect in relation

to the keyboard sound, the speed of the repeat-based effects, and

the part(s) to which the effect will apply, can all be set via the

F5: HARMONY/ECHO function page described on page 129.

The PSR-8000 Harmony/Echo effect is engaged by pressing

the VOICE EFFECT [HARMONY/ECHO] button so that its

indicator lights. To turn Harmony/Echo off press the [HAR-

MONY/ECHO] button a second time so that the indicator goes

out.

• Press the [HARMONY/ECHO] button while holding the

[DIRECT ACCESS] button to jump directly to the F5:

HARMONY/ECHO function page.

• When multiple right-hand notes are played, Harmony/Echo is applied

to the last-played note (last-note priority).

• Harmony/Echo effects do not work with the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices.

• In the AUTO ASSIGN mode, harmony is applied to the highest-priority

part among those currently turned on. The part priorities are, from

highest to lowest: R1

→

LEAD

→

R2. It is also possible to specify the

part to which harmony will be applied via the F5 HARMONY/ECHO

function page.

● Harmony-based Effects

Types 1 through 8 and 10 are harmony effects which produce

harmony based on the current AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT

chord (see “NOTES” below for conditions).

• Harmony types 1 through 8 and 10 will function only when AUTO

ACCOMPANIMENT is ON and a fingering mode other than FULL

KEYBOARD or MANUAL BASS is selected.

• No harmony is produced when no chord is detected.

• Harmony types 1 through 8 and 10 produce unison harmony during

auto-accompaniment intros and endings.

● Repeat-based Effects & Multi Assign

Effects 9 and 12 through 14 are repeat-based effects which do

not depend on AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT chord detection.

These effects will function at any time (even when AUTO

ACCOMPANIMENT is off), except when the FULL KEY-

BOARD fingering mode is active.

The MULTI ASSIGN effect (number 11) is a little different,

and may need some explanation. MULTI ASSIGN automati-
