PITCH CONTROL
Pitch control makes it possible to tune the Personal Electronic
Piano over a ±50-cent range in approximately 3-cent intervals.
A hundred “cents” equals one semitone, so the tuning range
provided allows fine tuning of overall pitch over a range of
approximately a semitone. Pitch control is useful for tuning
the Personal Electronic Piano to match other instruments or
recorded music.

THE PERFORMANCE MEMORY
The YPP-50 Performance Memory functions as a digital record-
er that allows you to record and play back anything you play
on the keyboard. You can simply enjoy listening to playback
of your performance, or play along with it on the keyboard.
You can record using any single voice, or using the Bass Split
mode for a combination of left-hand bass and right-hand chords
or melody lines.
l The Performance Memory records the following data: notes
played, damper pedal operations, voice selection, bass split
mode, the initial tempo and tempo changes made during the
recording.
l Up to approximately 1300 notes can be recorded in the Perfor-
mance Memory. This number varies, however, according to
damper-pedal usage and other factors.
l Material recorded using the Performance Memory will be retained
in the YPP-50 memory for approximately one week even the
power is left OFF the entire time. To keep the recorded per-
formance in memory for longer periods, make sure that the
YPP-50 power is turned ON briefly at least once a week.
Note: Recording can not be activatedif the YPP-60 Multi-Timbre
Mode is engaged (see “The Multi-Timbre Mode” in the
“MIDI FUNCTIONS” section of this manual-page 101.
Recording
1. Set the Record Ready Mode
Press the PERFORMANCE MEMORY REC button. This
engages the “record ready” mode: the REC LED will light
and the metronome will sound at the currently selected
tempo.
2. Set the Tempo
Before actually beginning to record, you should select a
tempo that will be easy to record at (using the TEMPO
and/or buttons). If you don’t want to hear the metronome
while recording, press the METRONOME button at this stage
—the metronome sound will stop but the METRONOME
LED will continue flashing at the selected tempo.
3. Start Recording
Recording will begin automatically as soon as you begin
playing.
4. Stop Recording
Press the REC button a second time to stop recording. It is
also possible to stop recording by pressing the PLAY button.
Recording will stop automatically if you exceed the Perfor-
mance Memory note capacity.
l Whenever you record using the Performance Memory, any previ-
ously recorded material will be erased.
l The Performance Memory can be erased deliberately as follows:
press the PERFORMANCE MEMORY REC button while holding
down the E
0
and F
0
keys (the two lowest white keys on the
keyboard), release the button and keys, and then press the PER-
FORMANCE MEMORY REC button one more time to exit the record
mode.
Playback
1. Press the PLAY Button
Playback of the Performance Memory recording begins as
soon as you press the PERFORMANCE MEMORY PLAY
button (the PLAY button LED will also light).
2. Play Along if You Like
Play along on the YPP-50 keyboard if you like. Please note,
however, that the YPP-50’s eight-note polyphony limitation
still applies. In other words, the total number of notes being
played back by the Performance Memory and those played
on the keyboard cannot exceed eight at any instant.
3. Stop Playback
Playback will stop automatically when the end of the record-
ing is reached. You can also stop playback at any time by
pressing the PLAY or REC button. Playback will also stop
if the DEMO button is pressed or if a MIDI STOP message
is received via the MIDI IN connector.
