The Display

The main display

The main display activates every time PS1500 is turned on and is what is shown in normal playing conditions. The power-up status shows the Grand Piano preset selected for the Upper 1 section.

The main display shows the sounds assigned to the keyboard tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower), regardless of their active/mute status, the name of the current Preset, the Tempo setting (valid for Styles and Songs), the name of the selected Style, Song/Style or Song and the Chord/Meas- ures indicator which monitors Style chords in Style mode or the measures in Song playback mode.

When a Style is disabled, “E.Play=Off” is dis- played on the top line to indicate that the EASY PLAY button is deactivated.

Selection windows

Selection windows are opened when a GROUPS button is pressed in order to select an element related to the selected GROUP (Sound, Style & User Style, Song/Style, Song and Programma- ble Preset).

Selection windows are “timeout” displays, shown for a short period of time, enough to select the displayed items with the Function buttons (F1…F8). After selection, the main display is re- stored. If you don’t select an item during the time- out period, the main display is restored automat- ically after approx. 3/4 seconds.

Other types of Selection windows

The “Harmony Type”, “Restore”, “Easy Play/Split”, Touch Sensitivity”, “Digital Effects” and “Disk” buttons also open selection windows, but with a structure specific to the function. These type of windows are permanent and require pressing the ESCAPE button or the corresponding function button to close them.
