Hi all,

I want to apply a DSP to a particular voice on the right hand. I believe there are 4 DSPs and 2 belong to style, and 2 to Upper track, i,e voice 1,2 and 3.

But, how can you apply a DSP effect to a particular upper track? say for example to a piano voice.

In yamaha, it is achieved by simply going to DSP page, and select the track/voice to which a DSP can be assigned.

-thanks

As described in manual in Korg it is also achieved by simple going to mixer-tuning to select a tracks dry-on/dry-off. So you assign DSP as master- or as insert-effect for that rtr-track, to send tracks direct-uneffected signal going to fx-processors.

Send-level is set by fx-send and its amount added to the dry (uneffected) signal is set by fx-amount. With amount of one fx-effect it is also possible going back to input of another fx-effect with amount-D-to-C (or amount-B-to-A). and if you want to modulate effect parameters you can do that generated by physical controllers and you can select the modulation-track
where you want to send that messages.

As there is not only a single switch to set DSP-on/off, because there are some more parameters to personalize DSP-section, it seems to be important to read at least that essential chapters about mixer-tuning and effects.

if you start to use a keyboard a lot more versatile than you have used in the past, be sure this is true not only for the sections mixer-tuning and effects. It seems you never have heard until now about that valueable features of Korgs Pa-Models, but i do not want to miss them.

If someone likes it, buy and use a simple keyboard as it is manufactured. But it is necessarily recommended to use possibilities of Pa-keys if your intention is to personalize your instrument for your needs to surpass that of conventionals.

Kamran,
Seeing all your posts here in the PA500 section, I have to agree with Siebenhirter (and Pete in other threads).
Korg PA line of arrangers is different to Yamaha. (I'm not saying better or worse; just DIFFERENT).
You'll need to invest time to get the best out of them, but if you do, you can do a lot more with Korg arrangers.

If you're used to Yamaha arrangers AND you are happy with them, stick to Yamaha.
Changing from one brand to another, it takes a few weeks or even months to get used to the different interfaces.
Sound-wise it's all a matter of personal taste.

I've had the same experience (the other way around) when I changed from PA500 to PSR S910.
Good instrument, but I never really enjoyed playing it as much as I like playing Korg.

Even when I am at mixer/tuning menu there is no option to assign a DSP to a particular upper track. Dry when unselected makes the sound strange and very low volume.
