PSR-A2000 Owner’s Manual 43
The PSR-A2000 features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which can
add extraordinary depth and expression to your sound. This effect system can be
turned on or off by using the following buttons.
• HARMONY/ECHO
The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices. Refer to “Applying
Harmony to Your Right-hand Melody” on page 44.
• TOUCH
This button turns the touch response of the keyboard on or off. When OFF, the same
volume is produced no matter how strongly or softly you play the keyboard.
• SUSTAIN
When this Sustain function is on, all notes played on the keyboard with right-hand
part (RIGHT 1 and 2) have a longer sustain.
• MONO
When this button is on, the part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a
time). Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass
instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento
effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
When this button is off, the part’s Voice played polyphonically.
• DSP/DSP VARI.
With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to
your music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb that makes you sound like
you are playing in a concert hall.
The [DSP] button is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off
for the currently selected keyboard part.
The [DSP VARI.] button is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You
could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast)
of the rotary speaker effect.
Applying Voice Effects
These three effect systems are applied to the
currently selected keyboard part (RIGHT 1, 2,
or LEFT)
NOTE
Portamento is a function that creates a
smooth transition in pitch from the
first note played on the keyboard to
the next.
NOTE
The effect type can be changed. On
the Voice Selection display, select [6
▲] (VOICE SET) → TAB [E][F]
EFFECT/EQ → [A]/[B] 2 DSP.
