Yamaha PSR-8000 Playing the PSR-8000

22
Before You Begin
Before playing your PSR-8000 for the first time, it might be
a good idea to re-initialize it to the original factory settings just
in case these have been changed at some point before you
receive the instrument. To do this, turn the [ST ANDBY] switch
ON while holding the rightmost key on the keyboard (C6).
• When the above initialization procedure is carried out, all internal
data (e.g. REGISTRATION, CUSTOM OTS (One Touch Setting),
CUSTOM STYLE, GROOVE STYLE, CUSTOM VOICE, MULTI PAD)
will also be initialized and therefore lost!
The PSR-8000 Parts & Voices
The PSR-8000 allows you to individually select and play up to four “parts” at the same time in a number of ways.
A range of voices can be assigned to each part.
RIGHT 1, The RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD voices can be played over the entire keyboard or to the right of a
specified split point (see “NOTE”, below). These voices can be played individually or in any combination.
The RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD voices can be selected from a range of voices organized in 15 groups.
LEFT The LEFT can be played to the left of a specified split point while the RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and/or LEAD
voices are played to the right of the split point. The LEFT voice can be selected from the same range of
voices as the RIGHT and LEAD parts.
RIGHT 2,

• The split point can be set via the SPLIT POINT/FINGERING FUNCTION display described on page 123.
• The SPLIT POINT/FINGERING FUNCTION display can be accessed directly by pressing the [AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT] button
while holding the [DIRECT ACCESS] button.
Each of the PSR-8000 voice “parts” can be switched to the
polyphonic or monophonic mode as required via the PART
SWITCH display accessed by pressing the PART LCD b utton
in the normal play mode while the FADER mixer MAIN PART
display is selected (page 19).
Use the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD LCD dials to
set the corresponding parts to POLY (polyphonic) or any of the
three MONO (monophonic) note priority modes:
