Playing Doc (Disk Orchestra Collection) Disks; Automatic Performance - Yamaha Portatone PSR-5700 Owner's Manual

Playing DOC
Using DISK ORCHESTRA disks (available from Yamaha), the PSR-5700 will let you enjoy
listening to automated performances, or function as your "private music tutor," allowing you to
practice various parts of a piece while the others are played automatically.
• PSR-5700 supports General MIDI Level 1 as well as DOC.
For more information, refer to page 50 of the Advanced Features manual.

Insert the DISK ORCHESTRA disk into the PSR-5700 disk drive (lo-
cated below the right end of the keyboard) with the metallic disk door fac-
ing the drive slot and the label side facing upward. The disk should click

reads and identifies the disk.

To engage the DOC mode from another mode when the disk is already loaded
in the drive, press the [DISK ORCHESTRA/GENERAL MIDI] button. Any rhythm
or ABC operation in progress will stop automatically.
You can use the [EXIT] button or [DISK ORCHESTRA/GENERAL MIDI] button

Please note that playback cannot be started while the PSR-5700 is searching
the disk for a selected song — this can take several seconds.
Some Disk Orchestra software does not produce a tempo display (e.g. free-
tempo phrases, etc.). In this case, three lit bars appear along the center of the
TEMPO display.
NEVER eject a disk or turn the power off while:
1) the DISK ORCHESTRA function is playing.
2) the DISK is formatting or recording.
