Suitcase EP(settings for yamaha psr e series)

[Kamatzo]

Can any1 please help me with settings for the yamaha e443 that will sound almost or exactly like the Suitcase EP on the yamaha psr s series keyboards

Okay, let's start here!  Keep in mind, I have the PSR-E433, so I'm not including the voice numbers because they may be different, but you should have these same sounds on your keyboard, as the E443 was the immediate successor to my keyboard.  Additionally, I did not easily find the suitcase electric piano sound for the PSR-S series online, so I just searched for a suitcase electric piano sound in general, and found a video with a demo for a Fender Rhodes, so I tried to emulate that.

So, with the main voice, set up the following...

Main voice: Funky EP
Volume: 85
Octave: 0
Pan: 64
Reverb: 50
Chorus: 70
Attack: 64
Release: 64
Cutoff: 55
Resonance: 64

Now, you can try either one of these dual voice settings to see what sounds better to you...

Dual voice: Clavi
Volume: 100
Octave: 0
Pan: 64
Reverb: 50
Chorus: 70
Attack: 64
Release: 64
Cutoff: 28
Resonance: 75

--- OR ---

For dual voice, use the 60's El. P1 sound in the XG-Lite section, then keep the same dual voice settings above EXCEPT change the Cutoff to 64, and change the Resonance to 90

In all cases, I used Hall 3 as the main reverb setting, and Chorus 1 as the main chorus setting.  If you want a really funky phase-shifted type 60's-70's sound, change the main chorus to Flanger 1, and turn up the chorus levels for the individual sounds.  Of course, feel free to try different reverb and chorus types and values to your taste.  You can even try adjusting the pan settings to send at least part of the main and dual voice sounds to different speakers to "widen" the sound.

Feel free to experiment, as I'm sure my initial settings here can be improved upon.  And of course, if you use the live control knobs to adjust filter settings, you can quickly alter the sound.  However, when using the knobs, remember two important things...

1. When you adjust the live control knobs, you are adjusting the corresponding settings for the main and dual voices simultaneously.

2. After you adjust the knobs, you cannot simply go to the menu settings to see what values you selected with the knobs.  You have to save the sound to a registration first, and then you can call up the registration and see the actual values that were stored.  For example, if your main voice cutoff and resonance settings are both 64, then you start adjusting the cutoff and resonance functions with the knobs, even though you have changed those settings internally and they are affecting the sound, if you just immediately go to the function list to check what the cutoff and resonance settings of the main voice are, they will still say 64 until you save your settings to a registration and then recall that registration.  At least, this is how it works on the E433.  It's possible that the E443 may work differently, but I don't think so.

Let me know if you have any questions!

So, is the original poster still there?  Did you try these settings?  If so, did they come close to what you're looking for?
