Clock Mode; Start/Stop Mode - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-1700 Owner's Manual

Reception of an external MIDI clock signal can be enabled or disabled as required. When disabled, all of the
time-based functions (Auto Accompaniment, SONG MEMORY, etc.) are controlled by the PSR-1700/PSR-
2700's own internal clock, the speed of which is set by the [TEMPO] button. When MIDI clock reception is
enabled, however, all timing is controlled by an external MIDI clock signal received via the MIDI IN terminal
(the [TEMPO] setting has no effect).
