What can you do with the PSR-3000/1500?
SONG
Playback previously
recorded songs
(page 35, 54, 135)
Enjoy a wide variety of
preset songs as well as

available disks.
Multi Pads

DEMO
Explore the Demos
(page 24)
These not only showcase the
stunning voices and styles of
the instrument, they introduce
you to the various functions
and features — and give you
hands-on experience using
the PSR-3000/1500!
STYLE
Back up your performance with
Auto Accompaniment
(page 45, 102)
Playing a chord with your left hand
automatically plays the auto accompa-
niment backing. Select an accompani-
ment style — such as pop, jazz, Latin,
etc. — and let the PSR-3000/1500 be
your backing band!
Vocal Harmony
(PSR-3000 only)
Add automatic vocal backing to your
singing (page 180)
The amazing Vocal Harmony feature (on the
PSR-3000) automatically produces backup
vocal harmonies for lead vocals that you
sing into a microphone. You can even
change the gender of the harmony voices —
for example, letting you add female backup
to your own male voice (or vice versa).
LCD
The large LCD (together with
the various panel buttons)
provides comprehensive and
easy-to-understand control
of the PSR-3000/1500’s
operations.
