Playing Different Voices Simultaneously

The PSR-OR700 keyboard features various functions and performance conveniences that are simply unavailable on an acoustic instrument. It allows you to play several different Voices together in a layer, or play one Voice with your left hand while you play a different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right.

Keyboard Parts (Right 1, Right 2, Left)

Voices can be assigned independently to each keyboard part: Right 1, Right 2, and Left. You can combine these parts by using the PART ON/OFF buttons to create a rich, ensemble sound.

Keyboard Part Combinations■Playing a single Voice (Right 1 part)

You can play a single Voice over the entire keyboard range. This is used for nor- mal performance — for example, with the piano Voice.
