Basic Operations - Organizing Your Data.
The PSR-2000/1000 utilizes a variety of data types - including voices,
accompaniment styles, songs, multi pads and registration memory settings. Much of
this data is already programmed and contained in the PSR-2000/1000; you can also
create and edit your own data with some of the functions on the instrument.
All this data is stored in separate files - just as is done on a computer.
Here, we'll show you how to use the basic operations of the display controls in
handling and organizing the data of the PSR-2000/1000 in files and folders.
Files can be opened, saved, named, moved, or deleted in their respective Open/Save
displays. You can select these displays according to their respective file types,
as well: Song, Voice, Style, etc. Moreover, you can organize your data efficiently
by putting various files of the same type into a single folder.
The Open/Save displays for Song, Voice, Style, Multi Pad Bank and Registration Bank
can be called up from the MAIN display (the display shown when the power is turned
on) by pressing the appropriate [A] - [J] button.

NOTE.
If the MAIN screen is not displayed, press the [DIRECT ACCESS] button followed by
the [EXIT] button.
Example - Open/Save display for Voice.
Each Open/Save display consists of PRESET, USER, and FLOPPY DISK drive pages.
<Figure>
PRESET drive.
The files that are pre-programmed and installed internally to the PSR-2000/1000 are
kept here. Preset files can be loaded but cannot be re-written. However, you can
use a preset file as a basis for creating your own original file (which can be
saved in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive).
USER drive.
Files kept here are those containing your own original data, created or edited
using the various functions of the PSR-2000/1000. They are stored internally to the
PSR-2000/1000.
FLOPPY DISK drive.
You can also store your original data to floppy disk. Commercially available disk
software can also be called up here. Naturally, these files are available only when
the appropriate disk is inserted in the floppy disk drive.
Changes drives among PRESET, USER and FLOPPY DISK.
Calls up the upper level directory page. In this example, the voice folder
selection page can be called up.
File.
All data, both pre-programmed and your own original, are stored as "files."
Current Memory.
"Current Memory" is the area where the voice is called up when you select a voice.
Also it is the area where you edit your voice using the SOUND CREATOR function.
Your edited voice should then be saved as a file in the USER or FLOPPY DISK drive.
Recording songs (page 92) and creating accompaniment styles (page 108) are done
within the current memory. Please make sure to properly save this data to the
USER/FLOPPY DISK drive as a file or files. The data will be lost if you turn off
the power without saving.
Selecting Files and Folders.
Select a file shown in the display. In this example, we'll select a voice file.
First, press the VOICE [PIANO & HARPSI.] button to call up the display containing
the files.
This display ("Open/Save" display) is typical of those used to call up and store
files (voice files).
The PSR-2000/1000 already contains a variety of voices in the PRESET section. You
can store your own original voices created with the Sound Creator function to the
USER or FLOPPY DISK section.
<Figure>
1 Select "PRESET," "USER," or "FLOPPY DISK" by using the [BACK][NEXT] button.
2 Use the [1up] - [7up] buttons to turn the pages.
When the amount of available files or folders exceeds ten, the bottom of the
display changes as shown below.
<Figure>
Press Next
Press Prev.(previous)
3 Select the file/folder.
There are two ways to select the file/folder:
o Press the [A] - [J] button.
Press the letter button corresponding to the file/folder you wish to call up. (In
the example display shown above, the voice files are shown.)
o Use the [DATA ENTRY] dial and the [ENTER] button.
When you turn the [DATA ENTRY] dial, the highlight moves among the available
files/folders. Highlight the desired file or folder (voice files are shown in the
example above) and press the [ENTER] button to call up the selected item.
<End> Press the [EXIT] button to go back to the MAIN display.
You can go back to the previous display by pressing the [EXIT] button.
NOTE.
When "JAPANESE" is selected for the Language parameter (pages 45, 151), and you
change this to one of the western languages, the kanji and kana characters of the
file name stored in the disk drive are changed to western characters. In the
opposite case, special Latin characters and marks are changed into normal
characters. Also, in the case of floppy disk data, text in the files are changed to
characters that cannot be read by the instrument.
Keep in mind that similar problems may occur when trying to access files
originating or edited by a computer having a different language operating system.
In general, be careful when switching languages - you risk not being able to access
the data properly.
NOTE.
Double-clicking the appropriate [A] -[J] button calls up the corresponding file and
returns to the MAIN display.
NOTE.
Highlighting the desired file and double-clicking the [ENTER] button calls up the
corresponding file and returns to the MAIN display.

the disk drive are changed to western characters. In the opposite case, special
Latin characters and marks are changed into normal characters. Also, in the case of
floppy disk data, text in the files are changed to characters that cannot be read
by the instrument.
Keep in mind that similar problems may occur when trying to access files
originating or edited by a computer having a different language operating system.
In general, be careful when switching languages - you risk not being able to access
the data properly.
Using the Metronome.
The metronome provides a click sound, giving you an accurate tempo guide when you
practice, or letting you hear and check how a specific tempo sounds.
The metronome starts by pressing the [METRONOME] button. Adjust the tempo by using
the TEMPO[Left] [Right] buttons (see below).
To stop the metronome, press the [METRONOME] button again.

The sound, volume level, and the beat (time signature) of the metronome can all be
changed (page 148).
Adjusting the Tempo.
This section shows you to adjust the playback tempo - which not only affects the
metronome, but also the playback of a song or an accompaniment style.
1
Press either the TEMPO [Left] button or the [Right] button.
2
Adjust the tempo by using either the TEMPO [Left] [Right] buttons or the [DATA
ENTRY] dial.
The number in the display indicates how many quarter-note beats there are in one
minute. The range is between 5 and 500. The higher the value, the faster the tempo.
When you change the tempo, both tempos of the current song and style will be
changed to the same tempo. To restore their respective default (initial) tempo
settings, press both the TEMPO [Left] [Right] buttons simultaneously. Also refer to
the "Tempo Indications - MAIN display" (page 51) for more about tempo.
<End> Press this([EXIT] button) to close the TEMPO display.
