Basic Editing Procedure The PSR-510 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_ _ 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-510 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.

Auto Accompaniment The PSR-510 has 103 accompaniment styles that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated Auto Accompaniment. When the Auto Accompaniment function is turned ON, the PSR-510 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.
Auto Accompaniment ■ 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 19. The default Auto Accompaniment split point (55) can be recalled instantly by pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time.
● 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.
Auto Accompaniment ● 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.
● 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.
Auto Accompaniment ■ Accompaniment Control The PSR-510 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 .....................................................................................................................................
● Starting the Accompaniment with an Introduction ............................................................................. Any of the PSR-510 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.
Auto Accompaniment ● Stopping the Accompaniment ............................................................................................................... SYNC-START/STOP 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.
■ Accompaniment Volume While the VOICE control section [VOL] button can be used to set the volume levels of the orchestration parts, the [ACCOMP VOLUME] button can be used to adjust the volume of the selected accompaniment in relation to the voices. ZPress the [ACCOMP VOLUME] Button ................................................................................................. Press the AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT control section [ACCOMP VOLUME] button.
Auto Accompaniment BASS: RHYTHMIC CHORD 1 & 2: PAD CHORD: PHRASE 1 & 2: The BASS track always plays a bass line, but the voice will change to fit the selected style … acoustic bass, synth bass, tuba, etc. Both these tracks provide the rhythmic chordal accompaniment required by each style. You’ll find guitar, piano, and other chordal instruments here. This track plays long chords where necessary, using sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir. This is where the musical embellishments reside.
XMake the Required Voice Settings ........................................................................................................ VOICE SELECT VOL OCTAVE DSP DEPTH PAN Use the [+] and [–] buttons, the number buttons, the data dial, or the [VOICE SELECT] button itself to select a new voice for the selected track. You can also use the [VOL], [OCTAVE], [DSP DEPTH], and [PAN] buttons to change the corresponding parameters for the selected voice.
