. Sustainpedal
When a key is released while this pedal is
depressed, the sound is sustained so that it
lingers and slowly fades out.
. For the piano sounds, the sustain effect is on
for the 17 rightmost keys at all times, just like
an acoustic piano.
. PR350: This pedal is a four-stage pedal, and
the length of the sustain is controlled by the
degree to which the pedal is depressed.
. If the SUSTAIN PEDAL button is off, the sus-
tain effect does not work.
. Sostenutopedal(PR250/PR350)
When this pedal is pressed, the notes for the keys
already held--down will be sustained. If the pedal
is pressed first and the keys are then pressed,
the sustain effect is not applied to those notes.
. For continuous-type sounds, such as ORGAN,
the notes sound as long as the pedal is
pressed.
. Soft pedal
When this pedal is depressed, the overall sound
is softer and the volume is slightly lower.

In the PIANIST mode, the entire keyboard can

. In the PIANIST mode, the automatic accom-

P\1t."'\S11t.CCOtAPis a new \ea\me \{Om'\ ecn-
nics which allows the piano player to use all the
accompaniment patterns, which are rearranged
from the original patterns and which are without
piano accompaniment. This means that when you
use the PIANIST ACCOMP, mostly non-piano in-
struments are used in ACCOMP 1, 2 and 3 (ex-
cept for the ACCOMP 1 part of the SWING
rhythm). The idea is to be able to play the only
piano sound by yourself and still be able to have
a "band" assisting you which does not include
piano sounds. In this way your piano will give you
additional possibilities for accompaniment varia-
tion and more sound flexibility.

Sequencer
The SEQUENCER stores your entire performance-melody and accompaniment, sounds and panel setting
changes, even changes in the rhythm-for completely automatic playback whenever you desire. You can
store your performance part-by-part, then have it all play back at the same time. You can store a 'chord
progression to use with the AUTO PLAY CHORD. You can modify any or all of your performance. In other
words, the SEQUENCER is an incredibly useful and versatile tool which infinitely enhances the practicability
of your PR Digital Ensemble Piano.
Storinga chordprogression
To store a chord progression for use with the
AUTO PLAY CHORD feature, use the PRO-
GRAM SECTION controls located beneath the
sliding cover on the right side of the instrument.
Several keys on the keyboard (identified by sym-
bols and musical notes) are also used when you
store a chord progression.

Disk Recorder (included on the PR350; for the PR50V and PR250, the SY-FD20 is an option). The storable
internal memory is fixed at a limited capacity, but this external memory device expands the storable

MIDI
WhatisMIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of
electronic musical instrument data.
This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal-such as electronic musical instruments and
personal computers-can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to
complicated conversions or connections.

CHANNEL
Many different kinds of performance data are sent
using just one MIDI cable. This is possible be-
cause MIDI signals are sent and received through
16 different "basic channels" (numbered 1-16).
In order for the exchange of data to take place,
the channels on the transmission side must match
the channels on the receiving side.
The default channel settings on this instrument
are as follows.
