RESPONSE
REVERB CHORUS
DSP
EFFECT
Press the [HARMONY] button to turn the HARMONY effect on or
off. When HARMONY is on (indicator lit), playing single notes or
chords on the right-hand section of the keyboard produces automatic
harmony matched to the accompaniment chords. The harmony function
can be turned on when AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment is off, but
in this case the harmony produced will consist only of unison and/or
octave notes.
NOTES
• The type of harmony produced can be selected via the HARMONY EASY
SETTING display, or via the HARMONY function display. See page 114 for
details.
• The harmony is based on the ABC chords, and is added to the highest note played
except when only the LEAD voice is on, in which case the harmony notes are
added to the last note played.
• The HARMONY feature cannot be turned on when the FULL KEYBOARD ABC
mode is selected.

DSP
EFFECT
Press the [SUSTAIN] button to turn the sustain effect on or off. When
on (indicator lit), extra sustain is applied to the selected voice. When
sustain is applied via a footswitch, however, the panel [SUSTAIN]
button will not function.
NOTES
• Sustain can be applied to any combination of the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2 and
LEAD voices via the SUSTAIN BUTTON parameter available via the SUSTAIN
EASY SETTING display or the CONTROLLER function display. See page 104 for
details.
• The sustain effect may not produce the same effect for all voices.

Touch Response

TOUCH
RESPONSE
REVERB CHORUS
DSP
EFFECT
The touch response function turns the PSR-4000’s keyboard velocity
response on or off. Normally, touch response should be turned on — the
[TOUCH RESPONSE] button indicator should be lit — to allow
normal dynamic control via the keyboard (i.e. the harder the keys are
played, the louder the sound). In some cases, however, you might want
to turn touch response off (indicator off). For example, most organs have
no keyboard velocity response, so touch response can be turned off for
greater realism when playing organ type voices. Touch response can also
be turned off to create a constant-volume sound with any voice.
Use the [TOUCH RESPONSE] button to turn touch response on or
off as required.
NOTES
• Touch response sensitivity, off level, and voice assignments can be set via the
TOUCH EASY SETTING display, or via the CONTROLLER function display. See
page 107 for details.
