SONG

The SONG Mode features Demonstration
Songs and Jam Track patterns that have

been specially created using the rich sounds
and sophisticated accompaniment functions
of the PortaTone.

The Songs in the SONG Mode are gener-

ally for your listening enjoyment; however,
you can also play along with them by using
the Minus-one function. Minus-one, as its
name implies, takes away the melody part of
the song, allowing you to play that part
yourself. The Jam Track patterns in this
Mode let you “jam” or play along with a
variety of dynamic rhythm styles and chord
changes.

Selecting a Song or Jam
Track Pattern

1.

 

Turn the MUSIC MODE SELECTOR to
select SONG.

2. Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired

Song or Jam Track pattern number.

3. To playback the complete Song, including

the melody part, press the DEMO button.

To use the Minus-one function with the se-

lected Song or to playback a Jam Track
pattern, press the START/STOP button.

(Scores for the Songs have been provided for
you to play along with. See pages 1l–20.)

8

Press DEMO to playback entire Song.

(Songs repeat in order indefinitely until

DEMO or START/STOP is pressed.)

Press START/STOP for the selected Song/

Pattern when using Minus-one or Jam Track.
(Selected Jam Track pattern repeats until
START/STOP is pressed.)

You can also start the selected Song (Minus-one) or Jam Track
pattern with the Synchro Start function (as in STYLE) by
simply pressing any key on the keyboard.

Note:

The DEMO button cannot be used to start a Jam Track pattern.
If you press the DEMO button while a Jam Track is selected,
the number will automatically change to 00 and begin
playback.

4. If you want to change to another Song or

Jam Track pattern, repeat step 2 above.

5. To stop the Song or pattern, press the

START/STOP button again. (The DEMO

button can also be used to stop Songs, but
not patterns or Songs used with Minus-one.)

More About the SONG Mode

The Voice for the melody of each Song is automatically
selected and you can play the keyboard using the same Voice
as the one used for the melody. You can also change the Voice

while the Song/Jam Track is playing by switching to the
VOICE Mode and selecting the desired Voice. (Voice changes
of the preset Song will automatically affect both the melody of
that Song and the Voice you play on the keyboard. You can
start each Song /Jam Track pattern [except Demonstrations]
with your selected Voice by selecting the Voice in the VOICE

Mode and switching back to the SONG Mode.) However,

changing to another Song/Jam Track automatically switches to
that new one’s default preset Voice and the preset tempo.

Note:

Starting a Song also automatically changes the Style number.
