■Octave Change ..............................................................................................................................................................................
This function allows the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT2, and LEAD
parts to be independently transposed up or down by one octave.
The LEFT, RIGHT1, RIGHT2, LEAD LCD buttons (with
the small keyboard icons) directly set the octave of the corre-
sponding part to “+1”, “–1”, and then “0”, in sequence.
• These parameters are separate from the OCTAVE parameters ac-
cessed via the FULL mixing console display (page 44). The values of
these octave parameters are added to those of the mixer’s OCTAVE
parameters.
• Some voices may suddenly shift octaves when played at the extreme
ends of the keyboard if they are set to a lower or higher octave and/or
transpose value than normal. This can also occur when the PITCH
BEND wheel is used on extremely low or high notes.
• If you change the transpose or octave change settings while playing
one or more notes on the keyboard, the new settings will take effect
from the next notes played.
■Left Hold ...............................................................................................................................................................................................
This function causes the LEFT part voice to be held even when
the keys are released. Non-decaying voices such as strings are
held continuously, while decay-type voices such as piano decay
more slowly (as if the sustain pedal has been pressed). Press the
[LEFT HOLD] button so that its indicator lights to engage the
LEFT HOLD function. Press the [LEFT HOLD] button a
second time so that the indicator goes out to turn LEFT HOLD
off.

■Pitch Bend & Modulation Wheels..............................................................................................................................
The PITCH BEND and MODULATION wheels to the left of
the PSR-8000 keyboard can be used to add expressive variation
to your sound.
The range of the PITCH BEND wheel can be indpendently
set for the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, and LEAD parts via the
FULL MIXING CONSOLE TUNING display (page 44).
The type of modulation applied by the MODULATION
wheel is preset for each of the PSR-8000’s preset voices. You
can assign your own modulation effects when creating CUS-
TOM VOICE (page 51). The MODULATION wheel can be
independently turned on or off for the LEFT, RIGHT 1, RIGHT
2, and LEAD parts via the F3: CONTROLLER, PANEL CON-
TROLLER display (page 126).
