Playing Voices

The PSR-350 features a total of 618 authentic voices — all of which have been created with

Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. These

include 480 Expanded voices, plus special Split voices, DJ voices and drum kits.

The PSR-350 also has a Dual Voice function that lets you combine two different voices in a

layer, and play the two together across the keyboard.

The voices are divided into various instrument categories, and the names are printed on the panel for conve-

nience. For a complete list of available voices, see page 87.

Special Split voices (#107 - #116) feature two different voices that you can play from separate sections of the

keyboard — for example, playing a bass voice with your left hand and a piano voice with your right.

A special set of DJ voices (#609 - #618) provides dynamic, exciting voices for playing many of today’s popular

music styles.

The Voice mode also features special effect sections that let you enhance the sound of the voice. These include

Reverb and Harmony, as well as a “DSP” section that provides miscellaneous effects, such as tremolo, echo,

delay, equalization, and wah. (See page 30.)

There’s also a Touch Sensitivity control (page 29), which determines how the voices respond to your playing

technique.

The PSR-350 also includes special Drum Kit voices — #117 - #128 — that let you play various drum and per-

cussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the Drum Kit Voice chart on page 96.)

When a voice is selected, the most suitable DSP Type (page 33) and Harmony Type (page 34) for the voice are

automatically called up.
