5 Use the Cursor buttons [][][E][F] to select the desired Voice, and then press the

[ENTER] button.

Voice Types (Characteristics)

The particular type of a Voice is classified into nine kinds (Owner’s Manual, chapter 1). The MegaVoice is

covered here.

Selecting GM, XG and GM2 Voices

GM & XG voices, as well as GM2 voices, are also available on the instrument—playable by MIDI messages

from sequencer software, etc. Songs that correspond to these formats can be properly reproduced by

sequence software, and suitable voices will be selected automatically.

The detailed settings for METRONOME (such as volume, sound, or beat) or TAP TEMPO can be accessed

in the display below.

2 Use the Cursor buttons [][] to select the page to make the settings described

below.

MegaVoice With normal Voices, you can control the volume of notes or change the timbre or tone of a sound,

depending on key velocity (how strongly or softly you play). However, MegaVoices respond com-

pletely differently to velocity and make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range has a

completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various perfor-

mance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be

called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. In contrast, MegaVoices

lets you play a convincing guitar part with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play

the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to

play the sounds, they’re not intended for actual performance from the keyboard. They are, however,

very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when you want to avoid using sev-

eral different Voices just for a single instrument part. Actual sound maps for the Mega-Voices are

provided in the “Mega Voices Map” in the Data List on the website.

NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this

instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of

Voices.

NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on the [HARMONY/

ARPEGGIO] button or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

Changing Detailed Settings for Metronome or Tap Tempo

Use the Cursor

buttons [][].

Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument

You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument such as keyboard, Style and Song parts (except the

keyboard part played by the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices, and audio playback)—a useful feature when

playing the PSR-SX600 along with other instruments or audio files.

[3 ] Volume* Determines the volume level of the Harmony/Arpeggio notes generated by the

Harmony/Arpeggio function.

NOTE When you are using certain Voices, such as Organ Voices, in which the Touch Sense Depth is set to

0 in the Voice Set display (page 14), the volume does not change.

[4 ]/

[5 ]

Assign* Determines the keyboard part to which the effect is assigned.

Auto: Applies the effect to the part (RIGHT 1/2) for which PART ON/OFF is on.

If the Harmony/Echo category is selected, the RIGHT 1 part is given priority

over the RIGHT 2 part when both parts are on.

Multi: This parameter is available when the Harmony/Echo category is selected.

When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is sounded by the

RIGHT 1 part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the RIGHT 1 and

RIGHT 2 parts. When only one part is on, the note played on the keyboard and

effect are sounded by that part.

Right1, Right2: Applies the effect to the selected part (RIGHT 1 or RIGHT 2).

[6 ] Speed This parameter is only available when the “Echo” category (Echo, Tremolo, or

Trill) is selected. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill effects.

[7 ] Chord Note Only This parameter is only available when the “Harmony” category is selected. When

this is set to “On,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note (played in the

right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord played in the chord

section of the keyboard.

[8 ] Minimum Velocity Determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony, echo, tremolo, or trill

will sound in the right-hand area. This allows you to selectively apply the har-

mony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody.

The harmony, echo, tremolo, or trill effect is applied when you play the key

strongly (above the set value).

Scale Tune

2 Use the [1 ] buttons to select the desired scale.

 Preset Scale types

Equal The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve. This is the most com-

monly used tuning in music today.

Pure Major, Pure Minor These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for

triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—such

as choirs and a cappella singing.

Pythagorean This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a series of

perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tuning are slightly

unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some leads.

Mean-Tone This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the

major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century to

the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

Werckmeister, Kirnberger This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which were

themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The main feature

of these scales are that each key has its own unique character. These scales were used

extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is often used when

performing period music on the harpsichord.

Arabic1, Arabic2 Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship

between the notes.

[3 ]/

[4 ]

Tune Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune it in

cents by using the [4 ] buttons.

NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

[5 ]–

[8 ]

Part Select Determines whether the Scale Tune setting is applied to each part or not.

Tuning Determines the pitch of each keyboard part.

Octave Determines the range of the pitch change in octaves, over two octaves up or down for

each keyboard part. The value set here is added to the setting made via the UPPER

OCTAVE [-]/[+] buttons.

Portamento Time Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note

played on the keyboard to the next. The Portamento Time determines the pitch transi-

tion time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time. Setting this to “0” results

in no effect. This parameter is available when the selected keyboard part is set to

MONO (page 18).

Mono/Poly Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically (Mono) or poly-

phonically (Poly). When selecting “Mono,” you can play single, lead sounds such

as brass instruments more realistically. Depending on the Voice, Portamento may

be produced when notes are played with legato.

NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the

keyboard to the next.

[3 ]/

[4 ]

Mono Type Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar Voice,

when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to “Mono” above.

Normal: The next note sounds after the previous note is stopped.

Legato: The sound of the previously played note is maintained and only the pitch

changes to that of the next note.

Crossfade: The sound smoothly transitions from the previously played note to the

next note.

NOTE This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices and Drum/SFX Kit Voices, and behaves

the same as the “Normal” setting when these Voices are selected.

NOTE When Legato or Crossfade is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be dif-

ferent from Normal, depending on the panel settings.

Modulation

The [MODULATION] wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato),

the filter (wah), or the amplitude (tremolo). Here, you can set the degree to which the [MODULATION]

wheel modulates each of the following parameters.

NOTE LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is a device which periodically varies (oscillates) a signal by using a low frequency wave. For example, a vibrato effect can

be produced by applying LFO to the pitch, a wah effect can be produced by applying it to the filter, and a tremolo effect can be produced by applying it to

the volume of a Voice.

[5 ] Portamento Time Determines the pitch transition time when the edited Voice is set to Mono above.

NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the

keyboard to the next.

NOTE Setting this to “0” results in no effect.

[6 ]/

[7 ]

Portamento Type Determines how the actual pitch transition time is calculated from the Portamento

Time value.

Fixed Rate: Determines the pitch change rate from a range of 0: max., 127: min.

The actual pitch transition time varies according to the interval between the

two notes.

Fixed Time: Determines the pitch change rate from a range of 0: min., 127: max.

The pitch change rate varies according to the interval between the two notes.

NOTE The basic rule of Portamento Time is unchanged even if this setting is changed. When the value of

Portamento Time is smaller, the actual time is shorter; when the value is larger, the actual time is

longer.

NOTE The greater the value of Portamento Time, the clearer the effect of this setting will be.

[2 ] Filter Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates the Filter

Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see below.

[3 ] Amplitude Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates the

amplitude (volume).

[5 ] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates the pitch,

or the vibrato effect.

[6 ] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates the Filter

modulation, or the wah effect.

[7 ] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates the

amplitude, or the tremolo effect.

 Sound Page

1 Filter/EG

• Filter

Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific

frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a

certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to

produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.

• EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the

sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound

characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick

attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a

sustained piano tone.

2 Vibrato

Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by

regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.

[2 ] Cutoff Determines the cutoff frequency or

effective frequency range of the filter

(see diagram). Higher values result in a

brighter sound.

[3 ] Resonance Determines the emphasis given to the

cutoff frequency (resonance), set in

BRIGHT. above (see diagram). Higher

values result in a more pronounced

effect.

[4 ] Attack Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is

played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.

[5 ] Decay Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level

than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[6 ] Release Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is released. The

lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[3 ] Depth Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a more

pronounced Vibrato.

[4 ] Speed Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.

[5 ] Delay Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key and the

start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the Vibrato onset.
