Effects
The PSR-290 is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to enhance the sound
of the voices. The PSR-290 has four separate effect systems — Harmony, Reverb, Chorus and
DSP — and each has many different effect types to choose from.
The Harmony section features a variety of performance effects that enhance the
melodies you play when using the accompaniment styles of the PSR-290. A total
of twenty-six Harmony types are available. (See page 33.)
Tremolo, Trill and Echo effects can be used even if accompaniment is off.
There are five different Harmony Types that automatically create harmony parts
(for notes played in the upper section of the keyboard) to match the accompani-
ment chords.
Turn on/off the Harmony effect.
Press the [HARMONY] button.

Reverb types simulating various different performance environments are avail-
able. (See page 33.)
