Playing DOC

MIDI Music Software Disks
The PSR-6000 can play optional Yamaha Disc Orchestra Collection
software, and General MIDI mode software recorded by other equip-
ment. When a disk of either type (3.5" 2DD disks only) is inserted into
the PSR-6000 disk drive, the PSR-6000 automatically switches the
internal tone generator system to allow playback of the software and
performance on the keyboard.

Disk Orchestra Collection Disk Playback

Using DISK ORCHESTRA disks (available from Yamaha), the PSR-6000 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.

Insert the DOC Disk
Insert the DISK ORCHESTRA disk into the
PSR-6000 disk drive (located below the right end of
the keyboard) with the sliding disk shutter facing the
drive slot and the label side facing upward. The disk
should click into place and the DISK IN USE lamp
will light briefly while the PSR-6000 reads and
identifies the disk.
When the disk is inserted and identified the
display shown to the right will appear (if this display
doesn't appear, press the [DISK ORCHESTRA/
GENERAL MIDI] button):
NOTES
• There are actually three ways to select the DOC mode:
1) Insert a DOC disk (the DOC mode is automatically
selected).
2) Press the [DISK ORCHESTRA/GENERAL MIDI]
button (the normal, DOC, and General MIDI modes
are selected in sequence).
3) Receive a MIDI exclusive "Switch To DOC Mode"
message from an external MIDI device.
The [DISK ORCHESTRA/GENERAL MIDI button is
a handy way to engage the DOC mode from another
mode when the disk is already loaded in the drive.
Any rhythm or ABC operation in progress will stop
automatically.
• You can use the [EXIT] button or [DISK ORCHESTRA/
GENERAL MIDI] button to exit from the DOC mode.
