36 PSR-SX600 Owner’s Manual
The Super Articulation Voices (S.Art Voices) enable you to create subtle, very realistic musical expressions, simply
by how you play. The [S.Art] icon is shown beside the Voice name of Super Articulation Voices (S.Art) on the
Voice Selection display or the Home display.
By playing notes in a very legato way (i.e., a note is played while the preceding note is still held), the S.Art Voices
provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in real time — remarkably reproducing the
sound and performance of actual musical instruments.
Example: Saxophone Voice
With the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very
legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player
played it in a single breath.
Example: Guitar Voice
With the ConcertGuitar Voice, if you play a C note and then the E just above in a very
legato but firm way, the pitch slides up from C to E.
To control articulation effects, you can assign the function to the pedal. Pressing a
pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your keyboard playing. For
example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath noises or key
noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret noises or body-
tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as you play.
To assign the function of articulation to the pedal, call up the display via the
following operations.
[MENU] → TAB [E] Menu1 → Cursor buttons [][][E][F] Controller →
[ENTER] → TAB [E] Foot Pedal
For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website, Chapter 9.
Playing Super Articulation Voices
Adding Articulation Effects by Playing the Keyboard
NOTE
Since the S.Art Voices have various
effects, not all of the S.Art Voices cor-
respond to legato play. To confirm
what playing techniques are effective
with specific S.Art Voices, press the [6
] (Info) button shown in the display
of the selected S.Art Voice.
Adding Articulation Effects by Using the Pedal
NOTE
• S.Art Voices are compatible with
other models which have those
types of Voices installed; however,
some Song or Style data you’ve cre-
ated on the instrument using these
Voices may not sound properly
when played back on other instru-
ments.
• S.Art Voices sound differently
depending on the keyboard range,
velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you
turn on a Keyboard Harmony effect,
or change the Voice Settings, unex-
pected or undesired sounds may
result.
