Create Original Sounds

22 PSR-I425 Owner’s Manual

4Play with the right hand while operating Knob A with the

left hand.

If you select a different keyboard voice the knobs will be reset and the

ideal settings for the selected voice will be automatically recalled. In the

same way, if the “v STYLE FILTER” effect is selected, the knobs will

be reset if a different style is selected. If you create an original setting

you like, it might be a good idea to save it in the instrument’s Registra-

tion Memory (page 80) so you can recall the same settings again at any

time. You can also record performances using original sounds you’ve

created (page 52).

The chart below lists some interesting ways to use the various effects

that can be assigned to the knobs.

●Some Ideas for Using the Knobs

Changing the knob settings does not immediately change the sound. Newly

assigned effects will only change the sound when the knobs are ﬁrst

operated after the new effect has been selected.

Number/Effect Try This

zFILTER Select a synth-type lead or pad voice (page 107). Turn Knob B all the way up and operate Knob A

while playing for some spacey, ﬂoating 1980’s effects.

xEFFECT

Select a voice that sounds as though it already has reverb and chorus effects applied, and turn

Knob A and Knob B all the way down to hear the “direct” sound of the voice. You can then turn the

Knob A and Knob B settings up to add extra impact and richness to the voice.

cEG

Select a piano voice, and turn Knob B all the way up and Knob A to about the 3 o’clock position.

This should give you a majestic, organ-like sound. The attack time is quite long so play the keys

and hold them to let the sound come in fully. Ideal for slow pieces.

vSTYLE FILTER

Select style 31, Euro Trance. Turn accompaniment on and start style playback (page 34). Set

Knob B to about 3 o’clock, and Knob A to about 8 o’clock. The overall sound of the style should be

a bit mufﬂed, with the drums emphasized for solid rhythmic impact.

bSTYLE TEMPO Play a style and/or arpeggio (page 14) and use Knob A to adjust the tempo.
