Playing the Demo Songs
The PortaTone has a huge variety of Demo songs, specially recorded to showcase
the dynamic sounds and rhythms and give you an idea of what you can do with
the instrument.
First, turn on the power.
Press the STAND BY/ON button. Whenever the power
is turned on, the Voice mode is automatically called up
and set to play Voice 1 (GrandPno).
Set the Volume.
Initially, turn the MASTER VOLUME control about a third
of the way up. You can adjust the control for optimum
level once the songs start playing.
Press the DEMO START buttons.
All 100 songs will play in sequence. You can play along on the keyboard
with the songs. If the Voice Change function is on (page 27), the key-
board voice will change to match the changes in the song of the melody
voice.
The current song name and number appear at the left of the display.
Notice also that the display indicates both the chords (except for song #1,
“StarWars”) and the melody notes (in the music staves and the keyboard
diagram) as they change during the song. (Scores for the Demo songs are
provided.)
To stop playback, press the START/STOP (

button. For information on selecting and playing
