Functions of the Keyboard
As explained above, the keyboard of the PSR-540 can sound three different voices. Here’s a short summary of the
various ways of playing voices.
● Playing a Single Voice
● Playing Two Voices
● Playing Separate Voices
with the Right and Left
Hands
In addition, the keyboard of the PSR-540 has other important functions besides playing voices (as shown below).
● Auto Accompaniment Section
When the auto accompaniment is set to on (page 33), the key range of voice L becomes the range for playing/
indicating chords.
● Naming
The keyboard can also be used to name song files on a floppy disk, User Styles,
User Pad banks and Registration Memory banks (page 21).
Playing Voices
The point on the keyboard that separates voice L and voice R1/R2 is called the “split
point”.
The split point is set to F#2 at the factory setting, however you can set this to any key
you wish. Refer to page 119 for instructions on setting the split point.
• Each key has a note name;
for example, the lowest
(farthest left) key on the
keyboard corresponds to C1,
and the highest (farthest
right) key to C6. (See below
for details.)
