Basic Editing Procedure The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a flexible-but-consistent interface that lets you edit just about all of its parameters using the same basic procedure. Once familiar with the system, you’ll be able to edit any parameter quickly and easily. Here’s the basic procedure: – + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +– 1_ _ RESET ZPress a Function Button ........................................................................................................................
Basic Editing Procedure 2-2: The [+] and [−] Buttons – + RESET 2-3: The Number Buttons 0 1 7 2 8 3 4 9 +– 1_ _ 2 The number buttons — to the right of the [+] and [–] buttons — allow direct numeric entry of the desired value, and are therefore the fastest way to edit in many situations. To select a voice, for example, choose one of the 128 voices — numbered “01” through “128” — listed in the “Voice & Polyphony List” on page 77, then enter its number using the number buttons.
Selecting & Playing the Voices PSR-1700 The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have 128 stunning voices plus 8 different drum and percussion kits that you can select and play in a number of ways.
Selecting & Playing the Voices ● Dual Mode ● Split & Dual Modes In the dual mode both the [R1] and [R2] part voices are selected so they can be played simultaneously across the entire keyboard. To select the dual mode, make sure that both the [L1] and [L2] indicators are out, then press both the [R1] and [R2] buttons simultaneously (or hold one while pressing the other). You can switch back to either of the single modes from the dual mode simply by pressing the [R1] or [R2] button, as required.
■ Voice Assignment You can assign any of the 128 voices to each of the ORCHESTRATION parts, whether the part is currently ON or OFF. ZPress the [VOICE SELECT] Button ....................................................................................................... You don’t need to do this if the [VOICE SELECT] indicator is already lit. Also make sure that the [KEYBOARD PERCUSSION] and [SAMPLED VOICE] (PSR-2700) indicators are out.

XPress the [VOL] Button ..........................................................................................................................
■ DSP Depth The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 features a built-in digital signal processor (DSP) that can be used to apply a range of reverb and delay effects to the voices. The [DSP TYPE] button in the OVERALL CONTROL section (page 22) determines the type of effect to be applied, while the VOICE section [DSP DEPTH] button lets you individually set the amount of effect applied to each orchestration part. ZSelect the Part You Want to Edit .............................................................................
Selecting & Playing the Voices ■ Auto Harmony Auto Harmony is used with the Auto Accompaniment feature (see page 24). It automatically adds appropriate harmony notes to a single-note melody line you play on the keyboard. You can choose from 10 different types of harmony that can be assigned to the right-hand orchestration parts.

Auto Accompaniment The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 have 100 accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fullyorchestrated Auto Accompaniment. When the Auto Accompaniment function is turned ON, the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 create fully-orchestrated rhythm, bass, and chord accompaniment based on chords you play with the left hand in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard (i.e. all keys to the left of the Auto Accompaniment split point).
■ Setting the Auto Accompaniment Split Point To set the Auto Accompaniment split point, first turn Auto Accompaniment ON — press the [AUTO ACCOMP] button so that its indicator lights — then proceed with steps 2 and 3 as described in “Split Point Change” on page 20. The default Auto Accompaniment split point (55) can be instantly recalled by pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.
Auto Accompaniment ● Mode 1: Chord 1 The Chord 1 mode is ideal if you already know how to play chords on a keyboard, since it allows you to supply your own chords for the Auto Accompaniment feature.
● Mode 2: Chord 2 PSR-1700 Fingrng=2 – :Chord2 PSR-2700 This is essentially the same as the Chord 1 mode, above, except that the lowest note played in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard will be played by the bass part rather than the chord root.
Auto Accompaniment ● Mode 5: Full PSR-1700 Fingrng=5 –:Full PSR-2700 08:Showtune 001:GrandPno C Fingrng=5 – :Full In this mode chords played anywhere on the keyboard are detected and used for Auto Accompaniment. Otherwise the keyboard functions normally, and the entire range is available for playing. Chord recognition is the same as in the Chord 1 mode. Please note that in this mode all notes you play on the keyboard at any one time will be interpreted as the Auto Accompaniment chord.
■ Accompaniment Control The PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 provide a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, break, variations on the main pattern, ending — that you can select to control the “flow” of the accompaniment to achieve the desired musical results. Accompaniment start/stop and sections are controlled by the ACCOMPANIMENT CONTROL buttons. ● Straight Start .....................................................................................................................................
Auto Accompaniment ● Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction ............................................................................. Any of the accompaniment styles can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO] button and then the [START/STOP] button.

FILL IN 1 FILL IN 2 If the MAIN A section is playing, for example, the [A] indicator will flash while FILL IN 1 or the BREAK plays, and the [B] indicator will flash while FILL IN 2 plays. You can change the section that will begin playing after the selected fill-in or break by pressing the desired section button while the indicator is still flashing.
Auto Accompaniment ● Fade In & Fade Out ................................................................................................................................. The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth accompaniment and melody fade-ins or fadeouts.

When a part is turned off the corresponding indicator will go out.
Auto Accompaniment ■ Re-voicing the Tracks To make the TRACK buttons even more versatile, the PSR-1700 and PSR-2700 feature a REVOICE function that lets you individually change the voices and several related VOICE section parameters assigned to each track. The parameters that can be changed using the REVOICE function are as follows: • Voice Number (Percussion Kit, Sampled Voice Number (PSR-2700)) • Volume • Pan • DSP Depth • Octave ZSelect a Track to Re-voice ...............................................
