Yamaha PSR-8000 Custom Voice Creator

This mode makes it possible to create new voices by editing some parameters of

the preset voices. Waveform data created using the PSR-8000’s SAMPLING

feature (page 88) can also be edited to create original voices.* A simple EASY

EDIT mode and full-parameter FULL EDIT mode are available. Up to 32 custom

voices can be retained in memory and assigned to the RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2, LEFT,

and LEAD voices via the [CUSTOM VOICE] button.

* Waveform data created using the SAMPLING feature is not actually stored with the CUSTOM VOICE data,

but is retained in the wave RAM memory. When the FUNCTION mode AUTO LOAD function (page 131)

is ON and a disk containing the appropriate waveform data is loaded, the waveform data for the custom

voices will automatically be loaded into the wave RAM memory when the PSR-8000 is turned on. If the

AUTO LOAD function is off or the appropriate waveform data is not found when the PSR-8000 is turned

on, the corresponding custom voices will automatically be erased.

• Custom voices can be saved to disk using the SAVE TO DISK function (page 141) and reloaded later.
