Basic Editing Procedure The PSR-410 features 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: BEAT RESET MULTI DISPLAY – + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 +– 1_ _ The illustrations here are not available. ZPress a Function Button .........................................................................................
2-2: The [+] and [−] Buttons RESET – + 2-3: The Number Buttons 0 1 2 3 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” — shown on the panel VOICE list, then enter its number using the number buttons. To select “HARMONICA” (number 23), for example, first press [2] then [3].
Selecting & Playing the Voices The PSR-410 has 128 stunning voices plus 8 different drum and percussion kits that you can select and play in a number of ways.

● 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.
Selecting & Playing the Voices ■ Voice Assignment You can assign any of the PSR-410’s 128 voices to each of the ORCHESTRATION parts, whether the part is currently ON or OFF. ZPress the [VOICE SELECT] Button ....................................................................................................... VOICE SELECT You don’t need to do this if the [VOICE SELECT] indicator is already lit. Also make sure that the [KEYBOARD PERCUSSION] indicator is out.
■ Volume You can individually set the volume of each orchestration part to set up the ideal balance between parts. ZSelect the Part You Want to Edit ........................................................................................................... Use the ORCHESTRATION [EDIT] button to select the part you want to edit. XPress the [VOL] Button ..........................................................................................................................
Selecting & Playing the Voices ■ Pan The PSR-410 delivers true stereo sound, and you can use this parameter to individually set the stereo (pan) position of each orchestration part to create a broad stereo image of your sound. ZSelect the Part You Want to Edit ........................................................................................................... Use the ORCHESTRATION [EDIT] button to select the part you want to edit. XPress the [PAN] Button ............................................
■ Auto Harmony Auto Harmony is used with the PSR-410’s Auto Accompaniment feature except for Full fingering mode (see page 20). 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. ZTurn Auto Harmony ON .........................................................................................................................
Selecting & Playing the Voices ■ Keyboard Percussion The PSR-410 has 8 different drum and percussion “kits” that can be played on the keyboard when the Keyboard Percussion function is turned ON. The types of drum and percussion instruments played by the various keys when Keyboard Percussion function is selected are marked by symbols above the keys. ZTurn Keyboard Percussion ON .............................................................................................................
■ Pitch Bend PITCH BEND The PITCH BEND wheel to the left of the keyboard allows the note pitch to be bent up or down — roll the wheel away from you to bend up, and toward you to bend down (this situation can be reversed, as described below). When the PITCH BEND wheel is moved almost all the way in either direction, the current pitch bend range value will appear on the MULTI DISPLAY (see below).
Overall Control The OVERALL CONTROL section includes a range of parameters that, as their title suggests, apply to the overall sound of the PSR-410. OVERALL CONTROL TEMPO SPLIT TRANSPOINT POSE TUNING METRONOME TOUCH RESPONSE The illustrations here are not available. ■ Split Point Change This function lets you set the split point (the key that separates the left-hand and right-hand orchestration parts) to any key on the keyboard. ZTurn Auto Accompaniment OFF .............................................
■ Transpose The PSR-410 [TRANSPOSE] button makes it possible to shift the pitch of the PSR-410 up or down in semitone intervals up to a maximum of 12 semitones (one octave). Transposing the pitch of the PSR-410 keyboard makes it easier to play in difficult key signatures, and you can easily match the pitch of the keyboard to the range of a singer or other instrumentalist. ZPress the [TRANSPOSE] Button ..........................................................................................................
Auto Accompaniment The PSR-410 has 80 accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated Auto Accompaniment. When the Auto Accompaniment function is turned ON, the PSR-410 creates 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). The right-hand section of the keyboard is available for normal playing.
■ 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 18. The default Auto Accompaniment split point (55) can be recalled instantly 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 C ● Mode 3: Single C Cm C7 Cm7 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. C on E C on G SINGLE mode fingering makes it simple to produce beautifully orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard.
Auto Accompaniment ● Mode 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-410 provides a range of accompaniment “sections” — introduction, fill-ins, 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 PSR-410 accompaniment patterns can be started with an appropriate introduction by pressing the [INTRO] button and then the [START/STOP] button. INTRO Once the [INTRO] button is pressed, the [INTRO] indicator will be lit continuously and the MAIN [A] or [B] indicator will flash to indicate which section will play when the introduction has finished.
● Stopping the Accompaniment ............................................................................................................... SYNC-START/STOP ENDING START/STOP An accompaniment in progress can be stopped immediately by pressing the [START/STOP] button or the [SYNC-START/STOP] button. In the latter case the synchro start mode will be engaged when the accompaniment stops. The accompaniment can also be stopped with an appropriate ending by pressing the [ENDING] button.
Auto Accompaniment ■ The Track Buttons RHYTHM 1 2 BASS RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 2 PAD CHORD PHRASE 1 2 TRACK The PSR-410 Auto Accompaniment system includes eight TRACK buttons which allow you to control the accompaniment arrangement in real time. You can turn tracks on or off while playing for extra accompaniment variety. The various tracks are turned on or off by pressing the corresponding TRACK button. When a part is turned off the corresponding indicator will go out.
■ Re-voicing the Tracks To make the TRACK buttons even more versatile, the PSR-410 features 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 • Pan (Percussion Kit Number) • Octave • Volume ZSelect a Track to Re-voice .....................................................................................................................
One Touch Setting Each PSR-410 accompaniment style has a suitable preset voice and other settings that can be instantly recalled by pressing the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button in the VOICE control section. This makes it simple to recall the optimum settings for each style in one quick operation. To use the One Touch Setting function: select a style, press the [ONE TOUCH SETTING] button so that its indicator lights, then play.
Registration Memory The PSR-410 REGISTRATION MEMORY can be used to store four complete sets of VOICE and AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT settings that can be recalled anytime at the touch of a button.

Record Functions The Multi Pads The PSR-410 MULTI PADS can be used to record short rhythmic or melodic sequences, percussion fill-ins, or single percussion sounds that can be played at any time simply by pressing the appropriate pad. Pads [1] and [2] play back exactly as recorded, while pads [3] and [4] are “CHORD MATCH” types which are automatically transposed to match chords played using the PSR-410 Auto-accompaniment feature.
CEngage the MULTI PAD Record Ready Mode ...................................................................................... Press one of the MULTI PAD buttons — [1] through [4] — while holding the [REC] button. The [REC] button indicator and the selected MULTI PAD indictor will flash to indicate that the record ready mode is engaged, and the metronome will begin to sound at the currently selected tempo if the OVERALL CONTROL section [METRONOME] button indicator is lit.
Record Functions Clearing Tracks The [CLEAR] button can be used to completely erase the following data: • All data after the current measure in the specified SONG MEMORY track. • All data from the specified MULTI PAD. ZFor a SONG MEMORY Track, Set the Start Measure .......................................................................... MEASURE # Use the [MEASURE #] button to set the first measure to be cleared (page 37). All subsequent measures up to the end of the song will be cleared.
Page Memory REGISTR ATION MEMOR Y In addition to the REGISTRATION MEMORY described on page 31, the PSR-410 has a PAGE MEMORY that stores panel control and parameter settings plus the contents of the SONG MEMORY, and MULTI PADS. There are four PAGE MEMORY locations, each holding a complete set of parameters and recorded data.
MIDI MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a world-standard communication interface that allows MIDI-compatible musical instruments and equipment to share musical information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments. MIDI PAGE MEMORY RECEIVE TRANSMIT CH/CL/ CH COM PAGE # MODE ................
MIDI Bulk Dump MIDI bulk dump operations allow large amounts of MIDI data to be transmitted from one device to another. The entire contents of the currently selected PSR-410 PAGE MEMORY (MULTI PADS, SONG MEMORY, REGISTRATION MEMORY) can be dumped to a second PSR-410 or to a bulk storage device such as a MIDI data recorder or MIDI computer. ZMake the Required MIDI Connections ..................................................................................................
MIDI ● Bulk Dump Reception ............................................................................................................................ The PSR-410 will automatically receive bulk dump data from another PSR-410 or MIDI data storage device as long as the MIDI OUT terminal of the external device is properly connected to the MIDI IN connector of the PSR-410, and PSR-410 MIDI reception is enabled.
MIDI Reception Modes The [RECEIVE CH/CL/COM] button is used to specify the reception mode for each of the 16 MIDI channels, the internal or external clock mode, and MIDI start/stop command reception mode. ■ Channel Reception Modes The PSR-410 allows any of five reception modes to be individually assigned to MIDI channels 1 through 16. The five modes are: Mode “0” RX OFF: Reception disabled. Mode “1” MULTI: Received MIDI note data directly controls the PSR-410 tone generator.
MIDI ■ Clock Mode Reception of an external MIDI clock signal can be enabled or disabled as required. When disabled, all of the PSR-410’s time-based functions (Auto Accompaniment, SONG MEMORY, etc.) are controlled by its own internal clock, the speed of which is set by the PSR-410 [TEMPO] button. When MIDI clock reception is enabled, however, all timing is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the PSR-410 MIDI IN terminal (the PSR-410 [TEMPO] setting has no effect).
MIDI Transmission The PSR-410 allows any of the 16 MIDI transmit channels to be assigned to the R ORCHESTRATION voices. ■ MIDI Transmit Channels The R ORCHESTRATION voices can be set to transmit on any of the 16 MIDI channels as follows: ZPress the [TRANSMIT CH] button ......................................................................................................... TRANSMIT CH Press the [TRANSMIT CH] button to set the R voice transmit channel.
Appendix ■ Voice & Polyphony List The PSR-410 can play up to 28 individual notes at the same time (i.e. it has a maximum “polyphony” of 28). This number includes all voices used: dual, split, auto accompaniment, song memory, and multi pads. If the maximum polyphony of the PSR-410 is exceeded, the excess notes will be truncated (they will not sound). Another feature affecting polyphony is the fact that some PSR-410 voices actually use two voices at once, as shown in the voice list below.
