The Display
The main display
The main display activates every time PS1500 is
turned on and is what is shown in normal playing
conditions. The power-up status shows the Grand
Piano preset selected for the Upper 1 section.
The main display shows the sounds assigned to
the keyboard tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower),
regardless of their active/mute status, the name
of the current Preset, the Tempo setting (valid for
Styles and Songs), the name of the selected
Style, Song/Style or Song and the Chord/Meas-
ures indicator which monitors Style chords in Style
mode or the measures in Song playback mode.
When a Style is disabled, “E.Play=Off” is dis-
played on the top line to indicate that the EASY
PLAY button is deactivated.
Selection windows
Selection windows are opened when a GROUPS
button is pressed in order to select an element
related to the selected GROUP (Sound, Style &
User Style, Song/Style, Song and Programma-
ble Preset).
Selection windows are “timeout” displays, shown
for a short period of time, enough to select the
displayed items with the Function buttons
(F1…F8). After selection, the main display is re-
stored. If you don’t select an item during the time-
out period, the main display is restored automat-
ically after approx. 3/4 seconds.
Other types of Selection windows
The “Harmony Type”, “Restore”, “Easy Play/Split”,
Touch Sensitivity”, “Digital Effects” and “Disk”
buttons also open selection windows, but with a
structure specific to the function. These type of
windows are permanent and require pressing the
ESCAPE button or the corresponding function
button to close them.
