The Demonstration To give you an idea of the PSR-6000’s sophisticated capabilities, it is programmed with 21 demonstration sequences which can be played in a number of ways. NOTES • The demonstration sequences have been specially programmed for demonstration purposes — it is not possible to reproduce the demonstration sequences 100% using the PSR-6000 sequencer functions. Z Switch ON ...........................................................................................................................
The Demonstration The Demo Play Modes If you play the demo as described above, you’ll hear all 21 demo songs, one after another. Note that the demo songs are arranged into 7 groups of three songs each. By selecting an appropriate play mode, you can also play back all the songs in sequence, in random order, or a single specified song. Z Select a Play Mode .........................................................................................................................................................
The PSR-6000 Display & Help Function The Display & Multi-function Controls The PSR-6000 makes general operation and programming easier than ever with a large backlit LCD display panel and multi-function controls. The 8 LCD buttons — four on either side of the display panel — and 8 LCD dials below the display perform the function indicated by the adjacent section of the display.
The PSR-6000 Display & Help Function ■ The [LIST HOLD] Button ...................................................................................................................................................... When selecting voices (page 13) or accompaniment styles (page 21), the voice or style list will appear on the display, but will automatically disappear after a few seconds if no selections are made.
Playing the PSR-6000 ■ Before You Begin EXIT DEMO Before playing your PSR-6000 for the first time, it might be a good idea to re-initialize it to the original factory settings just in case these have been changed at some point before you receive the instrument. To do this, turn the [POWER] switch ON while holding the [EXIT] and [DEMO] buttons.
Playing the PSR-6000 ORCH. 1 In this mode a single voice — the ORCH. 1 voice — can be played across the entire keyboard. ORCH. 2+1 This is a “dual” mode in which two voices — ORCH. 1 and ORCH. 2 — can be played simultaneously across the entire keyboard. ORCH. 2v1 This is a “split” mode in which the ORCH. 2 voice is played on the left-hand section of the keyboard (to the left of the “split point” — see “NOTES” below), while the ORCH. 1 voice is played on the righthand section of the keyboard.
Playing the PSR-6000 Use the PAGE LCD dials the select the page containing the voice you want if more than one page is available, then press the LCD button corresponding to the desired voice. You can also use either of the SELECT LCD dials to select any of the voices within the selected group. V Play & Adjust Volume .............................................................................................................................................................
Playing the PSR-6000 USER SET Voice Assignment The PSR-6000 USER SET voice selection mode lets you assign any 12 voices — preset or custom (page 13, 77) — to the 12 voice select buttons so you can select them directly without having to select a category, page, and then a voice. This is particularly useful for the performer who want direct access to the voices he needs for a song or set. Z Select the USER SET Mode .............................................................................................
Playing the PSR-6000 Changing the Split Point The PSR-6000 split point applies to both the ORCH. 2v1 split play mode, described in this section, and Auto Bass Chord accompaniment described on page 19. The current split point is indicated on the display by the triangular split marker (t) and the “split” in the graphic keyboard when the ORCH. 2v1 orchestration mode is selected. Here’s how you can change the split point to suit your own playing requirements. Z Press the ABC MODE/SPLIT POINT LCD Button ......
Transposition, Tuning, Octave Change, & Key Velocity The most important and fundamental adjustment for any musical instrument is tuning. The TRANSPOSE, TUNING, and OCTAVE CHANGE functions described below let you control the pitch of the PSR-6000 in a number of ways. The Key Velocity function has also been included in this section because it affects the way the PSR-6000 responds to notes played on the keyboard.
Transposition, Tuning, Octave Change, & Key Velocity OCTAVE CHANGE This function allows the ORCH. 1 and ORCH. 2 voices to be independently transposed up or down by one octave. The OCTAVE LCD button to the right of the ORCH.1. voice name changes the octave of the ORCH.1. voice, while the OCTAVE LCD button to the right of the ORCH.2 voice affects the ORCH.2. voice. Pressing either of these buttons changes the corresponding octave setting to “+1”, “-1”, and then “0”, in sequence.
Using the Accompaniment Section The PSR-6000 has 50+1 different accompaniment “styles” (including preset IA style “New Age (No.12 button)”)that can be used to provide fully-orchestrated or rhythm-only accompaniment. The PSR6000’s sophisticated Auto Bass Chord accompaniment system can provide automated bass and chord backing that is perfectly matched to the selected accompaniment style.
