Thank you guys for chipping in for help.

I spent some time with PSR2000 sequencer this weekend, to figure out a way of working around the problems that are discussed above.
I am used to sequencer in TRITON. Where everything is stripped off the tracks, and you must set everything by yourself. But in PSR2000 you need to change the way you work with a basic sequencer.

1. There is a way of over dubbing a track.
2. There is a way to keep the sounds that are in track, so when you revisit the track, you won't overwrite the previous sound.

1. How to over dub record in PSR2000.
Record the first take in a track. When you want to overdub, record the take in a new track. Then just Mix the first track and the new track to the first track.

2. When you start a new song, you will use registration memory to store sound setting for each track.
Track 1 to 8: Main sound, reg memory 1 to 8
Track 9 to 16: Layer sound, reg memory 1 to 8.

So let's start it. I start by laying down a basic drum loop. Make sure MAIN voice is selected. Now select the drum kit you want to use, make volume, pan, effect send, filter, eq and other settings. Now save it in reg memory 1. Go ahead record your take in track 1, using MAIN voice as input part.

Now select the sound you want to use for second track. make changes to sound, and save it in reg memo 2. now you can go ahead and record as many tracks.

This way you can go back and forth between tracks, and not have to reselect the sound you selected previously.


I find that sequencing on PSR2000 is much faster, if you just change your ways a bit. And take advantage of the accompainant part. There are actually 32 parts in PSR2000, so you can record along any style, and then add the drum tracks later, or just use audio loops, once your song is in computer.

have fun with PSR2000.
