Orchestration

The unique ORCHESTRATION button group in the PSR-510’s VOICE control section lets you select and

play from one to four “parts” at the same time using a variety of “orchestrations”. One of the PSR-510’s 128
voices is assigned to each part.

There are actually a number of variations on

each of the above orchestrations. The ORCHES-
TRATION buttons are used to choose the type of
orchestration you want.

●

Single Modes

● Single: One voice over the entire keyboard.

● Dual: Two voices simultaneously over the entire keyboard.

● Split: Different voices with the left and right hands.

● Split & Dual: Combinations of the Split and Dual modes.

The four available parts are turned on and off by

the [R1], [R2], [L1], and [L2] buttons. The indica-
tors next to each of these buttons tell you which
parts are on and which are off, and therefore indi-
cate the current orchestration mode. The [EDIT]
button determines which of the four orchestration
parts is to be edited. You can, for example, assign
any of the PSR-510’s 128 voices to each of the or-
chestration parts. But before we discuss voice as-
signment and editing, let’s take a look at the various
orchestration modes:

In the “single” modes either the [R1] or [R2] part

voice can be played over the entire keyboard. The R1
and R2 single-voice modes are selected simply by
pressing either the [R1] or [R2] button if neither the
[L1] or [L2] indicators are lit. If the [L1] and/or [L2]
indicators are lit, press them so that both indicators
go out.

Note that when you select the [R1] or [R2] single-

voice mode, the triangular EDIT indicator for the se-
lected voice also lights. This means you can select a
different voice number or otherwise edit the current
voice using the procedures described on page 12.
