For example, if the current voice selected on the panel is piano but the song’s melody is being played by a flute voice, using Melody Voice Change will change the flute melody voice to piano. 1 Select the desired song. Press the [SONG] button, then use the numeric keypad or [+]/[-] buttons to select the desired song. 2 Select the desired voice. Press the [VOICE] button, then use the numeric keypad or [+]/[-] buttons to select the desired voice. 3 Press and hold down the [VOICE] button for at least one second. “MELODY VOICE CHANGE” appears in the display, indicating that the selected panel voice has replaced the song’s original melody voice. FurElise 001 006 GrandPno 001 001 MELODY V 001 001 Selecting and Playing Songs 31 Changing the Tempo The tempo of song playback can be adjusted over a range of 40 - 240 bpm (beats per minute). 1 Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button. 2 Change the value. Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Tempo value, or use the [+]/[-] buttons to increase or decrease the value. The PSR-175/172 also has a convenient Tap Tempo function that allows you to “tap” a new tempo in real time. (See page 44.) Current Tempo value TEMPO -04 120 Resetting the Tempo Value Each song and style has been given a default or standard Tempo setting. You can instantly restore this default Tempo setting by pressing both [+]/[-] buttons simultaneously (when Tempo is selected). Also, the tempo of a song or style returns to the default setting when selecting a different song or style. (The set tempo remains, however, when switching styles during playback except when OTS is on.) When you turn on the power of the PSR-175/172, the tempo is automatically set to 116 bpm. About the Beat Display This section of the display provides a convenient, easyto- understand indication of the rhythm — for song and style playback. The flashing “handclap” icons indicate both the downbeats and upbeats of a measure as follows: 002 SURE Indicates the first beat of the measure (downbeat) Indicates an upbeat Indicates a downbeat (other than the first beat) Selecting and Playing Songs 32 Adjusting the Song Volume The playback volume of the song can be adjusted. This volume control affects only the song volume. The volume range is 000 - 127. 1 Select the Song Volume function in the Overall menu. Press the [OVERALL] button, repeatedly if necessary, until “SONG VOL” appears in the display. 2 Change the value. Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Song Volume value (000 - 127). You can also use the [+]/[-] buttons to increase or decrease the value. Holding down either button continuously increases or decreases the value. Song Controls The panel buttons below the display function as song controls. Indicates Song Volume is selected Current Song Volume value SONG VOL 001 110 Resetting the Song Volume Value If you’ve changed the Song Volume setting, you can instantly restore the default setting of “110” by pressing both [+]/[-] buttons simultaneously (when Song Volume is selected). This controls the A-B Repeat function. (See page 33.) Pressing this button alternately pauses and resumes song playback. Pressing this button alternately starts and stops song playback. This functions as a rewind button, stepping in reverse through the measure numbers. It can be used during playback, or when playback is paused or stopped. This functions as a fast-forward button, stepping in advance through the measure numbers. It can be used during playback (with sound), or when playback is paused or stopped. Selecting and Playing Songs 33 A-B Repeat This useful function is ideal for practicing and learning purposes. It allows you to specify any phrase of a song (between point A and point B) and repeat it — while you play or practice along with it. 1 While playing back a song, set point A (the start point). Select and play back the desired song. (See page 29.) Then, while the song is playing back, press the [A-B REPEAT] button once at the start point of the phrase to be repeated. 2 Set point B (the end point). Press the [A-B REPEAT] button once again, at the ending point of the phrase to be repeated. The selected phrase repeats indefinitely until stopped. 3 Pause or stop playback as needed. Use the [ PAUSE] and [START/STOP] buttons. Stopping playback does not cancel the set A/B points or the A-B Repeat function. 4 Turn off the A-B Repeat function. Press the [A-B REPEAT] button. This can be done either when the song is stopped or during playback. REPEAT 009 A- 7 7 REPEAT 012 A-b 7 REPEAT 013 oFF • You can also set the A-B Repeat function while the song is stopped. Simply use the [ REW]/[ FF] buttons to select the measures for the A and B points in the song, then start playback. • While the song is playing back (but before setting the A/B points), try slowing down the Tempo (page 31). This makes it easier to accurately set the A and B points. Slowing down the Tempo also makes it easier to practice the parts you want to learn. • To set the A point at the beginning of a s...
