Basic Displays (Main Display and File Selection Display)

There are two basic display types – Main and Selection. Here are explanations of

each display segment and its basic operation.

Main Display

The Main display shows the current basic settings of the instrument such as the cur-

rently selected Voice and Style, allowing you to see them at a single glance. The

Main display is the one you’ll usually see when you play the keyboard.

1Song name and related information
Displays the currently selected Song name, time signature and tempo.
If the Song contains the chord data, the current chord name will be displayed in the
“CHORD” segment (see 5 below).
Pressing the [A] button calls up the Song Selection display (page 36).
2BAR/BEAT (current position of the Song or Style)
Displays the current position of the Song or bar and beat number from playback start of the Style.
3Tempo
Displays the current tempo of the Song or Style.
4Style name and related information

button calls up the Style Selection display (page 46).
5Current chord name
If the [ACMP] button is set to On, the chord specified in the chord section of the key-
board will be displayed.
6Transpose
Displays the amount of transposition in semitone units (page 59).
7Octave
The [UPPER OCTAVE] buttons allow the pitch of the keyboard to be shifted down or up
in octave steps. This shows the amount that the octave value is shifted.
8Split Point
Split Points are specific positions (notes) on the keyboard that divide the keyboard into
separate sections. There are two kinds of Split Points: “A”, which separates the chord sec-
tion from the rest of the keyboard, and “L”, which divides the left-hand and right-hand
sections.
9Recording status of USB Audio recorder (PSR-S900)
While recording, a “REC” indication appears.
)Registration Sequence
