Chord Playback; Multi Pad Repeat Playback - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-6000 Owner's Manual

Using the Pads

Chord Playback

As long as the MULTI mode is selected and an AUTO BASS
CHORD accompaniment is playing, any recorded chord se-
quence can be played back simply by pressing the corresponding
CHORD pad. The phrase will play back at the currently set
tempo. The MULTI PLAYING indicator will light while the
chord sequence plays back, and playback will end automatically
as soon as the end of the sequence is reached. Only one chord
sequence can be played at a time.
During chord pad playback the ABC indicator will go out and
the left-hand section of the keyboard plays in the same way as the
right-hand section. To indicate that the end of the chord sequence
is approaching, the MULTI PLAYING indicator flashes during
the last two measures. A chord sequence that is playing can be
stopped by pressing the same chord pad again, or by pressing the
[REC/STOP] button.
NOTES
• If you press a CHORD pad while the accompaniment is stopped or
while the AUTO BASS CHORD function is off, "Engage ABC to play
the chord pads!" will appear on the display. Also, if AUTO BASS
CHORD is on but the Manual Bass mode is selected, "Select FC or
SF mode to play the chord pads!" will appear on the display, since
chord playback will not function in the Manual Bass mode.
• Chord pad playback can be recorded by the PSR-6000 sequencer.
• Chord pad data can be saved to and loaded from disk (page 96, 97),
but can not be memorized by the Panel Registration feature (page
41).
• Playback occurs in measure units. Playback will continue until the end
of the measure even if recording was stopped prior to the end of that
measure.

MULTI Pad Repeat Playback

If you press the button immediately to the right of the pad
[MODE SELECT] button so that the indicator above it lights
while the MULTI mode is engaged, the MULTI REPEAT function
is engaged and phrase or chord playback will repeat continuously
until the [REC/STOP] button is pressed, the same pad is pressed
a second time, or the REPEAT mode is turned off by pressing the
button to the right of the [MODE SELECT] button again. In the
last case the phrase or chord sequence will play through to the end
and then stop.
