Minus-one Practice
Minus-one playback lets you turn off specific parts of a song so you can practice
them on the PSR-530 keyboard while the other parts play automatically. Any of the
PSR-530's four MELODY tracks and/or the ACCOMPANIMENT track can be turned
on or off as required. Individual SONG tracks can be turned OFF (muted) or ON by
using the TRACK buttons corresponding to the target MELODY or ACCOMPANI-
MENT tracks. The track icon will disappear when a track is muted.

Minus-one Track Assignment
Many of the PSR-530 demonstration songs, and songs provided on Music Car-
tridges (see "Using Music Cartridges", page 75) have more than 4 channels — as many
as 16, in fact. This function lets you assign any of the song's channels to the PSR-530's
MELODY tracks so they can be turned on or off for minus-one practice.

Select the MinusOne Parameter
While the SONG menu is selected, but no recording is in progress, use the SUB
MENU [ ] and [ ] buttons to select the "MinusOne" parameter in the display. After
a few seconds "MinusOne" will change to "MinusCh", the number of the current
minus-one channel will appear to the left of "MinusCh", and a frame will appear
around the MELODY 1 song track icon.
