The PSR-5700 Advanced Features manual contains operating instructions for the instrument’s
more complex and advanced features. If you are yet familiar with PSR-5700’s basic features and the
way it works in general, we recommend that you go through the PSR-5700 Getting Started manual
prior to attempting to use the features described in this manual.
Contents
The Sequencer .................................................................... 3
The PSR-5700 features an 8-track sequencer that allows you to record and play back original musical creations — along with auto accompaniment if required. You can record the accompaniment and
orchestra parts separately or at the same time. If, for example, you record the accompaniment first
and then record your own performance while listening to playback of the accompaniment, you’re free
to use the entire keyboard for your performance rather than being limited to only the upper keyboard
area. You can also play back each part independently or in any combination. For even further versatility, the PSR-5700 sequencer allows different songs to be saved to or re-loaded from floppy disk.
Recording
As you become more familiar with the PSR-5700 sequencer you’ll probably develop a recording procedure
that best suits your particular musical requirements. Here, to get you started, is the most simple, straightforward way to approach sequencer recording.

number-1 indicator to the right of the [SONG SELECT] button will also
light.
If the sequencer contains previously recorded data, the green PLAY indicators of tracks containing data will light when the sequencer is engaged.
Any of these tracks can be muted prior to engaging the record-ready mode
(below) by pressing the corresponding track button so that the green PLAY
indicator flashes.
The sequencer can also be engaged by pressing one of the track buttons, or by
pressing the [SONG SELECT] button.
DETAIL
The PSR-5700 sequencer can record up to 6 separate songs. Use the
[SONG SELECT] button to select the song number you want to record. The
selected song number is shown by the indicators, 1 through 6, to the right of
the [SONG SELECT] button.
Select the accompaniment style you want to record with, voices, orchestration, harmony, and other parameters before actually beginning recording.
A list of the parameters that can be recorded by the PSR-5700 sequencer is
given below.
You may also need to select a specific record mode and other conditions
accessible via the sequencer’s CONDITION/RECORD TYPE functions,
described on page 7.

DETAIL
AUTO BASS CHORD accompaniment can only be recorded on the
ACCOMP. track. The ORCH.1 and ORCH.2 voices can be recorded on any
of the remaining 7 tracks, but only one of these tracks can be recorded at a
time if the normal ORCH.1 orchestration is selected. If the ORCH.2+1 or
ORCH.2v1 orchestration is selected, two record tracks must be selected
— the ORCH.1 voice will be recorded on the lower-numbered track while
the ORCH.2 voice will be recorded on the higher-numbered track. This
means that a maximum of three record tracks can be specified when the
ORCH.2+1 or ORCH.2v1 orchestration is selected: ACCOMP. and any
two numbered tracks.
To select the record track(s) and engage the record-ready mode, hold the
[RECORD] button and press the appropriate track button(s). The red REC
indicator for the tracks will flash. Also note that the AUTO BASS CHORD
indicator will light automatically when the ACCOMP. track is selected.

To record a new track, simply select a new voice and other parameters as required, select a new track as described in step 4, then record. All previously recorded tracks will automatically be set to the PLAY mode so you can record the
new material while listening to the material you’ve already recorded. Repeat this
procedure until your sequence is complete.
Up to approximately 7,000 notes can be recorded for all six sequencer songs. The
exact number of notes that can be recorded, however, will depend on the type of data

when the sequencer is initially engaged by pressing the [SEQUENCER] button,
all you have to do to play back a sequence is to press the [START/RE-START]
button. If you first press the [SYNCHRO START] button, sequencer playback
can be started by playing any key on the keyboard.
Any of the PLAY tracks can be muted before or during playback by pressing
the corresponding track button. The PLAY indicator will flash when a track is
muted. Normal playback can be restored by pressing the track buttons of muted
tracks a second time (the PLAY indicator will light continuously).
Before starting playback you can use the [r] and [f] buttons to move to any
measure number from which you want to begin playback. The [p] button goes
directly to measure number 1.
HINT
If the Super Styleplay section change parameter (page 41) is turned ON during
ACCOMP. track playback, the Super Styleplay section will change in accordance
with accompaniment variation transitions and the result may be different from the
DETAIL
recorded data.
You can play along with the sequence using the entire PSR-5700 keyboard,
selecting different voices and changing the tempo as required (subsequently
recorded tempo changes will still take effect).
Parameters That Can Be Changed During Playback
• Style select (styles with different time signatures cannot be selected)
If changes to any of the above parameters are recorded in the sequence, the recorded changes will still take effect even if you manually change the parameters
DETAIL
while playing.
Playback will stop automatically when the end of the sequence is reached. At
this point the parameters recorded on the ACCOMP. track will revert to their
initial values. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [STOP]
button.
Press the [EXIT] key to exit the sequencer mode and return to the normal
play mode. The sequencer mode can also be exited by pressing the [SEQUENCER] button.
Sequence Editing
The Sequencer
RECORD DELETEEDIT
The PSR-5700 sequencer edit mode offers a range of functions that let you modify the re-
corded data and the way in which it is recorded in a number of ways.
Press the [EDIT] button while the sequencer is engaged to enter the sequencer edit mode.
prf
When you’re finished editing press the [EDIT] button again or press the [EXIT] button to return
to the sequencer.
The various functions in the sequencer edit mode are accessed by using the [s] and [t] buttons (these are the same as the [ABC MODE] and [HARMONY TYPE] buttons, respectively),
while the various display screens provided by each function are accessed by using the [<] and

`CONDITION/REC TYPE‡
Metro=OnHarmony=Key
+–+–
Purpose:
This display page allows the recording metronome sound
to be turned on or off, and determines whether harmony will
be applied to the keyboard or a track part.
Procedure:
Use the left [-] and [+] buttons to turn the metronome on
or off, and the right [-] and [+] buttons to select the harmony
part — “Key” or “Tr1” through “Tr7”.
Notes:
The metronome sound only appears during recording
when no rhythm is playing.
When the “Key” harmony setting is selected (this is the
default setting when the sequencer mode is engaged), harmony will be applied to notes played on the keyboard. If the
“Tr1” harmony setting is selected, harmony will be applied
to the track-1 part. If “Tr2” is selected harmony is applied to
track 2, and so on.
If Harmony is not turned on during recording, it will automatically be turned off each time playback is stopped if it is
turned on before or during playback.
Harmony can only be applied to tracks that contain data.

Purpose:
Selects the Replace, Overdub, or Punch record mode.
Procedure:
Press the [>] button to access the REC TYPE display. Use
the left [-] and [+] buttons to select the Replace, Overdub, or
Punch record mode:
• Replace
If replace recording is selected, any previous data on the
track being recorded will be erased and replaced by the
new material.
• Overdub
If overdub recording is selected, previous material on
that track will be retained and the new material will be
added to it.
• Punch
Punch-in recording allows a specified measure or range
of measures to be re-recorded (replaced) without affecting
previously recorded material before and after the punch-in
range.
When the Punch mode is selected you must also specify
the measure from which playback is to begin prior to the
“punch-in” point at which recording will actually begin
(Play St), the punch-in measure from which recording is
to begin (In), and the punch-out measure at which recording is to end (Out). Use the [<] and [>] buttons to switch
between these two display screens, and the associated [-]
and [+] buttons to specify the required measure numbers.
† `REC TYPE‡
Mode=PunchPlay St=1

† `Punch IN/OUT MEAS.

+–+–
Notes:
It’s generally convenient to set the “Play St” measure in
the Punch mode to just a few measures before the punch-in
point. This allows you to get the feel of the music and prepare to start playing at the punch-in point. You can even play
along with the material prior to the actual punch-in point so
you’ll flow naturally into the punch-in recording range.
A footswitch (the supplied FC5 footswitch can be used)
plugged into the rear-panel FOOT SW jack can also be used
to punch-in and punch-out when the footswitch “Punch In”
function is selected via the “FOOT SWITCH SELECT”
function described on page 37. With the sequencer running
in the Punch Record mode, press the footswitch at the point
you want to begin recording (i.e. to “punch in”), and again to
stop recording (punch out).
Please note that the punch-in record function can only be
used on tracks that already contain recorded material.
E2 VOLUME

Purpose:
This page lets you independently set the playback volume
of each of the sequencer’s seven orchestra tracks.
Procedure:
Use the [<] and [>] buttons to position the cursor at the
volume parameter of the track you want to adjust (1 through
8
7, from left to right), then use either the left or right [-] and
[+] buttons to set the volume to a value between “00” (minimum volume — no sound) and “99” (maximum volume).
Vertical bar-graphs to the right of each track number on the
top line of the display provide a graphic representation of the
track volume levels.
Notes:
Only tracks that contain data are available for volume
control.
Any recorded volume changes will override these settings.

Procedure:
Use the [<] and [>] buttons to switch between the two
display screens, and the left or right [-] and [+] buttons to set
the first source track (Source1), the second source track
(Source2), and the destination track (Dest.). If
“CopyToDest.” is selected for the Source2 parameter, only
the Source1 track is copied to the destination track.
Once the source and destination tracks have been selected,
press the [+] button below “Execute” on the right side of the
display to actually execute the mixdown operation. “Sequencer Executing!” will appear on the lower line of the
display while the operation is in progress, and “Completed!”
will appear briefly when the operation has finished.
Immediately after execution “Undo” will appear above the
right [-] button, and that button can be used to undo the
mixdown if it was executed by mistake. The undo function is
only available until the next operation is performed.
Notes:
The mix function is most useful when you want to record
more than 7 individual parts on the seven orchestra-part
tracks. Successfully recorded parts can be combined using
this function, thus opening up more tracks for further recording. The data in the source tracks is not erased during a mix
operation.
If the tracks that are mixed use different voices, the voice
of the lower-numbered track will be used. Subsequent recorded voice changes will operate normally.
Please note that only tracks containing data can be specified as the source tracks.
Any data in the destination track will be overwritten by
data copied from the source 1 and 2 tracks.

One measure of 8th notes before quantization
eeee eee
After quantization
e
eeeeeeee
Procedure:
Use the [<] and [>] buttons to switch between the two
display screens, and the left [-] and [+] buttons to set the
track number (Track) and the quantize size (Size).
Once the track number and quantize size have been selected, press the [+] button below “Execute” on the right side
of the display to actually execute the quantize operation.
“Sequencer Executing!” will appear on the lower line of the
display while the operation is in progress, and “Completed!”
will appear briefly when the operation has finished.
Immediately after execution “Undo” will appear above the
right [-] button, and that button can be used to undo the
quantize operation if it was executed by mistake. The undo
function is only available until the next operation is performed.
Quantization is generally used to tighten up sloppy timing.
Use it judiciously, however, because timing that is too perfect can sound cold and mechanical — unless, of course,
you’re specifically aiming for a cold, mechanical feel. Always use a quantize value that is at least as “short” as the
shortest notes in the track to be quantized. If you quantize a
track containing 16th notes to 1/8 (8th notes), for example,
some of the 16th notes will be aligned with 8th note beats,
thus ruining the track.

Subsequent measures moved back.
123456
Procedure:
Use the [<] and [>] buttons to switch between the two
display screens, and the left or right [-] and [+] buttons in the
first display screen to specify the number of the first measure
in the range to be deleted (TopMeas) and the number of the
last measure in the range to be deleted (LastMeas).
Once the top and last measure numbers have been selected, press the [+] button below “Execute” on the right side
of the second display screen to actually execute the delete
operation. “Sequencer Executing!” will appear on the lower
line of the display while the operation is in progress, and
“Completed!” will appear briefly when the operation has
finished.
Notes:
It’s important to remember that a delete operation affects
all tracks simultaneously, and that measures following the
deleted range are moved back to take the place of the deleted
measures. This differentiates the delete job from the erase
job (described later), which replaces data in the specified
range with rests.
Be careful when deleting measures that contain effect on/
off events — e.g. pitch bend, modulation, sustain, harmony,
etc. If, for example, you delete a measure that contains a
pitch bend off event, the pitch bend applied in a previous
measure will remain in effect until the next pitch bend event
is encountered.
The delete operation has no “undo” function, so be absolutely sure you want to delete the selected material before
actually executing the delete operation.

the number of blank measures to be inserted (Size).
Once the top measure number and size have been selected,
press the [+] button below “Execute” on the right side of the
second display screen to actually execute the insert operation. “Sequencer Executing!” will appear on the lower line of
the display while the operation is in progress, and “Completed!” will appear briefly when the operation has finished.
Notes:
Insert affects all tracks simultaneously. The specified
