Change The Song Tempo; Play The Demo Song - Yamaha Portatone PSR-295 Owner's Manual

Change the Song Tempo

When using the performance assistant technology or in other situations in which the tempo of the song is too fast or
too slow for you, you can change the tempo as required. Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button. The tempo display will
appear and you can use the dial, the [+] and [-] buttons, or the [0] – [9] number buttons to set to tempo to anywhere
from 032 and 280 quarter-note beats per minute.
You can also set the tempo by simply tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button at the required tempo – 4 times for time sig-
natures in 4, and three times for time signatures in 3. You can change the tempo during song playback by pressing the
button just twice.
You can return to the original tempo by simultaneously pressing the [+] and [-] buttons.
