Pre-program voice sequence on psr?

[RalphL]

Hi guys, just saw a video, a person played a piece of music on Yamaha psr with piano sound, Brass, flute, etc sequentially without having to press any button to change the sound. I wonder how that's done. Can we pre-program "voice" sequence based on timing or certain keys or perhaps pedal? Thanks.

With psr you can have a split point whereby each side of the split point can be assigned to different voices.
But to change voices throughout the whole tune without pressing buttons is a mystery to me.

Foot pedals?

Thanks guys. So it seems that if it's doable , its extremely unusual.
Let me see if I can find that youtube video again, see if there's any other clue..I'll post it here too if I find it.

Not sure if it is what I think I saw, but it seems that the guys used 3 different sound without pressing buttons. ...

Foot pedals?

Seems the most likely explanation, having now seen the vid. 5/4 time signature - cool!

I can imagine that he works with a foot pedal. There he can change the OTS settings.

Many years ago (many) I used one of these https://www.sweetwater.com/store/de...12CFX-imZdK2CEIlwRx4AYstn83vh5IhoCSX4QAvD_BwE for that purpose. That link looks funny so if it doesn't work look up Behringer FCB1010

The power of foot pedals.

If you can, wait to watch this - instead, get a friend to play this 6 minute video, and you avoid watching until after you have listened - beginning at 2:20, so you don't hear the talk earlier.

Beginning at 2:20, imagine what set-up might be in place. How many keyboards, people, is it all digital or is there some accompaniment, etc.

Then watch the video. Amazing.
