■ Octave Change ..............................................................................................................................................................................

This function allows the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT2, and LEAD

parts to be independently transposed up or down by one octave.

The LEFT, RIGHT1, RIGHT2, LEAD LCD buttons (with

the small keyboard icons) directly set the octave of the corre-

sponding part to “+1”, “–1”, and then “0”, in sequence.

• These parameters are separate from the OCTAVE parameters ac-

cessed via the FULL mixing console display (page 44). The values of

these octave parameters are

added to those of the mixer’s OCTAVE

parameters.

• Some voices may suddenly shift octaves when played at the extreme

ends of the keyboard if they are set to a lower or higher octave and/or

transpose value than normal. This can also occur when the PITCH

BEND wheel is used on extremely low or high notes.

• If you change the transpose or octave change settings while playing

one or more notes on the keyboard, the new settings will take effect

from the next notes played.

■ Left Hold ...............................................................................................................................................................................................

This function causes the LEFT part voice to be held even when

the keys are released. Non-decaying voices such as strings are

held continuously, while decay-type voices such as piano decay

more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed). Press the

[LEFT HOLD] button so that its indicator lights to engage the

LEFT HOLD function. Press the [LEFT HOLD] button a

second time so that the indicator goes out to turn LEFT HOLD

off.

■ Pitch Bend & Modulation Wheels ..............................................................................................................................

The PITCH BEND and MODULATION wheels to the left of

the PSR-8000 keyboard can be used to add expressive variation

to your sound.

The range of the PITCH BEND wheel can be indpendently

set for the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD parts via the

FULL MIXING CONSOLE TUNING display (page 44).

The type of modulation applied by the MODULATION

wheel is preset for each of the PSR-8000’s preset voices. You

can assign your own modulation effects when creating CUS-

TOM VOICE (page 51). The MODULATION wheel can be

independently turned on or off for the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT

2, and LEAD parts via the F3: CONTROLLER, PANEL CON-
