Use the STYLE SELECT buttons to enter the number of the desired
style. Press a button in the upper row (BANK) to select the “BANK” or
“tens” digit, and then a button in the lower row (NUMBER) to select the
“ones” digit. For example, to select style number 31 (SHUFFLE), press the
BANK [3] button and then the NUMBER [l] button. The selected style
number and name is displayed at the lower left corner of the LCD panel.
If a BANK button is pressed but then no NUMBER button is pressed for more
than about 3 seconds, the BANK entry will automatically be cancelled.
The number of the style can also be decreased (decremented) or increased
(incremented) by using the [-] and [+] buttons immediately below the style
name on the LCD panel. Press either button briefly to decrement or incre-
ment the style number by one, or hold the button for continuous
decrementing or incrementing.
Although you can select the ORCH. 1 voice you intend to play on the
right-hand section of the keyboard and the ORCH. 2 voice if you use the
split mode, the PSR-5700 automatically determines the voices to be used
for the accompaniment bass and chords according the accompaniment style
you select.
Set the Tempo
When you select a different style while the accompaniment is not play-
ing, the “default” tempo for that style is also selected, and the tempo is
displayed on the TEMPO display in quarter-note beats per minute. If the
accompaniment is playing, the same tempo is maintained even if you select
a different style.
You can change the tempo to any value between 40 and 280 beats per
minute, however, by using [-] and [+] TEMPO buttons below the display.
This can be done either before the accompaniment is started or while it is
playing. Press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo
value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or
incrementing.
The default tempo for the selected sty/e can be recalled at any time by pressing
both the [-] and [+] buttons simultaneously.
