You can directly connect a microphone and use a variety of
sophisticated processing tools. The PSR-S970 features an
amazing Vocal Harmony function, which automatically produces
backup vocal harmonies for lead vocals that you sing into a
microphone. You can even change the gender of the harmony
voices — for example, adding female backup to your own male
voice (or vice versa) — or use the Vocal Doubler to make your
single voice sound like many. The PSR-S970 also has a Synth
Vocoder feature, recreating that popular effect for a variety of
luscious, other-worldly sounds.
Both the PSR-S970 and PSR-S770 let you connect an electric
guitar, and you can even use powerful DSP effects to process the
guitar sound instead, and play that along with the keyboard
sounds.
The two knobs to which various functions can be assigned
lets you intuitively control your performance in real-time. For
example, you can use the knobs to control the brightness
(cutoff frequency) of the sound being played or to control the
volume balance between the parts such as Voice and Style.
Thus you can easily add variations to the sound without
interrupting your performance.
You can also control your performance easily by using the
two wheels — PITCH BEND and MODULATION. The [PITCH
BEND] wheel lets you bend the notes up or down, while the
[MODULATION] wheel can be used to apply a vibrato effect
to the notes you play (page 39).
You can play arpeggios (broken chords) by simply
pressing the appropriate notes on the keyboard,
allowing you to instantly and automatically have
complex and otherwise difficult-to-play phrases
backing your performance.
These are just a few of the many functions that enhance your musical enjoyment and expand your
creative and performance possibilities. Try them out and enjoy your new keyboard!
