+Audio (PSR-SX900)
The Audio Styles (+Audio) have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio
musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds exceptionally natural feel,
ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater
expressive potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and grooves that are difficult to
reproduce using the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology allows the audio
to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.
Audio Styles can be played back and controlled by this instrument; however, by default the data is
not included on this instrument. Audio Styles or Expansion Packs that contain Audio Styles may be
available at the Yamaha website.
• If the tempo is set to over 160% of the default, the audio part is muted.
• Keep in mind that the Audio Styles may take more time to load than others, and that they may have certain restrictions and
differ in the specific functions that can be handled.
