First, try the sounds in the Orchestra section, which is a fundamental part of this keyboard.

Spielbeginn

Orchesterteil

1. Choose an instrument voice

First set the Orchestra Bank selector ② for the desired bank of voices (Orchestra Bank selector in upper position to select upper row of voices labeled in silver above the voice selectors, lower position to select lower row of voices labeled in yellow.) Then press the Orchestra Voice selector ② for the desired voice in the selected bank.

- When you turn the keyboard ON, the BRASS 1 voice will automatically be selected if the Orchestra Bank selector (2) is set to the upper position, and the BRASS 2 voice will be selected if the Orchestra Bank selector is set to the lower position.

1. Vibrato is automatically applied to voices which benefit from application of this effect.
2. Be sure to set the Auto Bass Chord MODE selector ⑥ to the OFF position. When the selector is set to the SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED position, the keys in the Auto Bass Chord key section ⑦ cannot be used for melody playing.

2. Try other voices

Make your selection from among the voices in the ORCHESTRA section ^22 .

Hinweise:

The maximum number of notes that can be played simultaneously (normally twelve) will be reduced when the Auto Bass Chord, Duel and Digital Synthesizer are used. The minimum number of simultaneous notes is two.

3. Adding sustain

Slide the SUSTAIN selector 20 to its "1" or "2" setting, and notes will be sustained after you lift your fingers from the keys. SUSTAIN 1 produces a short sustain, SUSTAIN 2 produces a longer sustain.

Hinweis:

The PITCH control function 29 enables you to fine-tune the keyboard for when you want to play in an ensemble. Each time ▲ is pressed, the pitch increases very slightly, up to a maximum of 50 cents above the preset level. Whenever ▼ is pressed, the pitch drops slightly, also to a maximum of 50 cents.

Notes:

1. If you hold down one of the PITCH controls, the pitch will change continuously.
2. If you press both of the PITCH controls together, the pitch will return to the preset level ( A_s=440Hz ).

- Feinstimmung

As one of the PSR-36's special features, the Digital Synthesizer function allows you to expand the 32 orchestra voices to total of 100,000 different voices.

Let's create various voices using DIGITAL SYNTHESIZER.

1. Select the desired voice by pressing one of the 32 Orchestra Voice selectors ②.
2. Set the Digital Synthesizer selector ② to ON.
3. Adjust the volume using the Master Volume control②.
4. Set each Voice Data controller (SPECTRUM, BRILLIANCE, ENVELOPE, 'VIBRATO and DETUNE) ⑳ to the position which results in the desired sound.

SPECTRUM

This controls the timbre or tone color of the voice.

BRILLIANCE

This determines how brilliant or mellow the voice is.

ENVELOPE

Controls the attack of the notes (whether the notes begin sharply or smoothly).

VIBRATO

This controls the vibrato effect.

Increasing the DETUNE setting produces a "thicker" multi-instrument type sound.

1. Now, let's play some notes. By comparing the same voice in both the ON and OFF settings of the Digital Synthesizer Selector ②3, you can distinguish the difference in timbre.

- The degree to which a voice changes varies with the selected voice.

DETUNE

Using the built-in drummer

PCM/Stereo rhythm section

Now it's time to add a dynamic rhythm accompaniment to your melody.

1. Choose a rhythm

Pick the rhythm that best suits the music you're going to play and press the corresponding Rhythm selector (13).

- When you turn the keyboard ON, the DISCO rhythm is automatically selected.

After selecting a rhythm, press the START selector 15.

• Synchro Start

Use the SYNCHRO START button ⑮ If you want the rhythm to begin from the moment you first press a key. Any of the 19 keys (up to F_2 ) beginning at the left of the keyboard (Auto Bass Chord key section ⑦) will activate the rhythm.

- Intro./Ending

Instead of using START, you can have the rhythm begin by using the INTRO./ENDING button ⑰. When this selector is pressed, the rhythm will start after a two-bar intro-phrase.

The Rhythm VOLUME control ⑧ lets you adjust the rhythm volume in relation to the melody volume.

- Tempo

Use the TEMPO controls ⑫ to adjust the speed of the rhythm.

- Variation

The Rhythm VARIATION selector⑨ gives a choice of five patterns for each rhythm.

3. Einstellungen

• Lautstärke

4. Making use of the Tempo Light

The Tempo Light functions as a visual metronome, making it simple for you to confirm the rhythm tempo. It flashes indicating tempo when the rhythm is running and also when the SYNCHRO START button ^15 has been pressed but you have not yet started the rhythm by pressing a key.

If you tap the FILL-IN button ⑩, the rhythm being played will be replaced with a 1-bar drum solo.

- If you press the FILL-IN button ⑭ before starting to play, the rhythm will start after a 1-bar drum solo.

If you press the INTRO./ENDING button ⑰ when the rhythm is on, the rhythm will stop automatically after playing a two-bar ending phrase. If you wish to stop the rhythm immediately, press the STOP button ⑱.

Keyboard Percussion

Press the KEYBOARD PERCUSSION button ^18 , and you can enjoy playing like a drummer by tapping the Custom Drummer keys ^19 with your fingers. Twenty-five PCM digital percussion sounds are assigned to the keys. The different kinds of percussion instrument sounds are indicated by symbols next to the relevant keys. (When the Keyboard Percussion feature is engaged, the Tempo Light will come on). If you turn KEYBOARD PERCUSSION ON while a rhythm pattern is playing, the rhythm pattern will stop (leaving bass and/or chord backing when using the Auto Bass Chord function described in item 7) so you can play your own rhythm on the Custom Drummer keys. Press the KEYBOARD PERCUSSION button ^18 a second time to exit the Keyboard percussion mode.

Creating original rhythm patterns

Custom Drummer

Hinvels:

Taking care of your PortaTone

Your PortaTone will remain in excellent playing condition if care is taken concerning the following.

1. When you use AC power, be sure to use the optional AC Power PA-4/PA-40 adaptor. Before use, read the adaptor instructions carefully. In particular, please note that in some cases the PA-4/PA-40 is provided with a voltage selector, so confirm that this selector is correctly set.

2. The optional car battery adaptor CA-1 is only for use with a negative around 12V battery. Ensure that this is the case before connecting the adaptor.

3. Connections made between the PortaTone and any other device should be made with both units turned off.

4. Do not set the MASTER VOLUME at MAX when you connect the PortaTone to a stereo system. Use the stereo system's volume control to adjust the sound level.

5. Avoid placing the instrument in excessively humid areas.

6. Do not subject the unit to physical shock, and avoid placing anything heavy on it.

7. The PortaTone should not be placed in direct sunlight for a long time.

8. Do not place the instrument near any heating appliance, or leave it inside a car in direct sunlight for any length of time. Direct sunshine can raise the interior temperature of a car with closed doors and windows to as high as 80°C. Temperatures in excess of 60°C can cause physical and/or electrical damage not covered by warranty.

9. Use a dry or damp cloth for cleaning.

10. When you aren't using the Porta-Tone, we recommend keeping it in the case to protect it.
