Fade-ins and Fade-outs
The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth fade-ins and fade-outs
when starting and stopping the accompaniment.

The sound will gradually fade in. The [FADE IN/OUT] indicator will flash
during the fade-in, and then go out when full volume has been reached.

The indicator will flash during the fade out, then the accompaniment will stop

Tempo Control
Each style of the PSR-9000 has been programmed with a default or standard tempo;
however, this can be changed to any value between 32 and 280 beats per minute by
using the data dial (see page 42) when the TEMPO lamp is engaged. This can be done
either before the accompaniment is started or while it is playing.
When you select a different style while the accompaniment is not playing, the “default”
tempo for that style is also selected. If the accompaniment is playing, the same tempo
is maintained even if you select a different style.
■
Tap Tempo
This useful function lets you press the [TAP TEMPO] button to tap out the tempo and
automatically start the accompaniment at that tapped speed. Simply tap (press/release)
the button (four times for a 4/4 time signature), and the accompaniment starts automat-
ically at the tempo you tapped. The tempo can also be changed during playback by tap-
ping the button twice at the desired tempo.
