Page 100: Rename File
• Since the PSR-6000 uses the file number rather than the file name to recognize and manage data files, a file saved with the same number as another file will overwrite that file even if it has a different name. -
Page 101: Delete File
F6: Disk 4 DELETE FILE Deletes the specified file from the disk. Use the any of the LCD dials to select the file you want to delete. The name of the selected file is displayed to the right of the file number, and the size of the file appears to the right of the file name in kilobytes (approximate). -

NOTES • The PSR-6000 uses only 3.5" 2DD type floppy disks. • Formatting a disk completely erases all data on the disk, so be sure that the disk you’re formatting does not... -
Page 103: Memory Backup & Registration Freeze
F7: Utility The F7: UTILITY function accesses utility functions that let you turn memory backup on or off, select the Panel Registration freeze function mode, and recall the factory preset data. MEMORY BACKUP & REGISTRATION FREEZE MEMORY BACKUP This function turns memory backup on or off. Use the MEMORY BACK UP LCD dials to turn memory backup ON or OFF. -
Page 104: Registration Freeze
NOTES • The data backed up (retained in memory even when the power is turned off) by the PSR-6000 are listed above. When memory backup is turned OFF, the initial factory settings are automatically recalled whenever the power is turned on. -
Page 105: The Normal Play Mode
15 meters, since cables longer than this can pick up noise which can cause data errors. THE NORMAL PLAY MODE In the PSR-6000’s normal mode of operation (i.e. when the DOC/GM mode is not selected) key on/off, voice, sustain, volume, pitch bend, and other performance data is transmitted and received without modification directly via the MIDI OUT and MIDI IN connectors. -
Page 106: The General Midi (Gm) Mode
The current standard recognized by the International MIDI Association is known as “GM System Level 1.” The PSR-6000 voice allocation complies with the GM System Level 1 standard when it is switched to the GM mode. See the “Voice List” on page 116 for details. -
Page 107: Midi Channel & Multi Part Settings
RHYTHM RECEIVE LCD dials select the rhythm receive channel (1 … 16). TRANSMIT This setting determines the basic channel on which all PSR-6000 data will be transmitted in the normal play mode. RECEIVE The receive channel is the basic channel on which the PSR-6000 will receive all MIDI data. -
Page 108: Seq. Track Ch
Separate transmit channels can be set for sequencer tracks 1 through 7 (the ACCOMP. track does not transmit) so the PSR-6000 sequencer can be used to drive an external multi-timbre tone generator or multiple tone generators via the speci- fied channels. -

PSR-6000 keyboard. TRANSPOSE When this parameter is set to RECEIVE, the transmit- ted MIDI note data will not be affected by the PSR-6000 transpose setting. When set to TRANSMIT the transmit- ted notes will be transposed in accordance with the PSR- 6000 transpose setting. -
Page 112: Data Transmit (Normal Play Mode Only)
When turned OFF data from the entire keyboard is transmitted on the basic transmit channel. DATA TRANSMIT (Normal Play Mode Only) Transmits the specified PSR-6000 panel or memory data via the MIDI OUT connector. Use any of the LCD dials to select PANEL or MEMORY data (see below), then press the EX- ECUTE LCD button —... -
Page 113: Midi Bulk Dump Reception (Memory Data Receive)
MIDI Bulk Dump Reception (Memory Data Receive) The PSR-6000 can receive bulk data transmitted by a second PSR-6000 as long as it is not accessing disk data, the Custom Accompaniment Programmer is not engaged, and the DOC/GM mode is not selected. -
Page 114: Error Messages
Error Messages If you attempt to perform an illegal operation or some other problem occurs, the PSR-6000 will usually warn you with an error message that provides an idea of what caused the problem and how it can be rectified. The following are the error messages you’re most likely to see during normal operation. -
Page 115: Midi Errors
The specified song file cannot be found on the currently loaded disk. An error was encountered while loading data from the disk. The PSR-6000 retains all data in memory for up to approximately one week if the power is not turned on during this time. This message will appear if a longer period of time has elapsed since the last time the power was turned on. -
Page 116: Troubleshooting
You are using single-finger type fingering in the fingered mode, or vice- versa. Use the correct type of chord fingering for the selected ABC mode. The PSR-6000 is constantly checking for the presence of a disk. This is not a problem. -
