The answer to the vocalist's dream. PSR9000's Vocal Harmony function perfectly harmonizes your voice adding powerful enhancement to your singing. Have a backup chorus provide more depth and emotion to your next ballad. Add special effects to your performance. Vocal Harmony control data can be recorded in a sequencer track--great for live performance or making Karaoke disks.

Shift the pitch of your voice up or down while retaining human voice quality for a remarkably realistic effect. Sophisticated Vocal Pitch Correction finely adjusts the pitch of your voice to match the key of the music for a worry-free performance.

Never keep you audience waiting. The PSR9000 reads sequencer data directly from the floppy disk drive as the song plays, so there's no waiting for songs to load. Plus, a Next Song Reserve function lets you respond immediately to audience requests by preparing the song data you want to play next.

No more searching through menus. Pressing any function button while holding down the Direct Access Button will take you directly to the parameter display related to that function. Great for quickly setting split points, part on/off, foot switches/volume, effect parameters, etc.

Registration Memory adds powerful support to your stage performance by storing complete control panel setups, such as voice, style, and vocal settings, for instant recall. Even song selection can be memorized.

A handy Send/Return Loop allows you to connect the PSR9000 to an external audio mixer. The mixed signal can then be fed back to the keyboard and monitored through the PSR9000's built-in speakers.
