Selecting and Playing Songs
The PSR-282 features a total of 105 songs. These include 100 songs that showcase the rich
and dynamic sounds of the instrument, and all 100 of these songs can be used with the educa-
tional Lesson feature (page 60), a powerful tool that makes learning songs fun and easy. Ten of
the songs are special Demonstration songs that can be played automatically by pressing the
[DEMO] button. Moreover, there are five special User songs to which you can record your own
performance.
The User songs are “empty” and cannot be played until something has been recorded to them.
(For instructions on recording your own songs, see page 55.)
