44 PSR-A5000 Owner’s Manual
There are four keyboard parts for your manual performance: LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2 and RIGHT 3, and each part has
one Voice. You can combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create luscious instrument textures and
convenient performance combinations.
Creating combinations of keyboard parts (Layer, Split)
To play one single Voice over the entire keyboard:
Turn on the RIGHT 1, 2 or 3 part. Make sure the LEFT part is turned off.
To play two or three different Voices simultaneously (Layer):
Turn on two or more parts from RIGHT 1, 2 and 3.
To play different Voices in the right- and left-hand sections of the keyboard (Split):
Turn on the LEFT part and at least one of the RIGHT 1–3 parts. The F#2 and lower keys are used for the LEFT part while
the upper keys (excluding F#2) are used for the RIGHT 1, 2 and 3 parts. The key which divides the keyboard into the left-
hand and right-hand sections is referred to as the “Split Point.”
