Riyaz Variations; Changing The Tempo; Tap Start - Yamaha PSR-I500 Owner's Manual

Riyaz Variations

Each Riyaz features five Variations A–E via the Tabla
sound. These five variations can be alternated via
the [A]–[E] buttons during playback, allowing you to
add dynamic variations to the performance.
In addition, four phrase variations via the Tanpura
sound are provided commonly for all the Riyaz pat-
terns. These four variations can be alternated via the
TANPURA 1–4 buttons.
Unlike the Styles, the Riyaz patterns do not have the
variations dedicated to the beginning or ending of the
Song, such as Intro and Ending.
The Riyaz playback will continue until stopped manu-
ally.
Styles and Riyaz Patterns

Changing the Tempo

A Style or Riyaz can be played at any tempo you
desire—fast or slow—and the tempo can be
changed precisely.
1
Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button to call up
the Tempo value in the display.
2
Rotate the dial to set a tempo from 011 to
280.
Pressing the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons simulta-
neously can instantly reset the value to the
default tempo of the current Style or Riyaz. You
can change the tempo during playback by press-
ing the [TEMPO/TAP] button just twice at the
required tempo.
NOTE
• The above operation applies also to Song or Arpeggio
playback tempo.

Tap Start

You can start play back of the Style, Riyaz or Song
by simply tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button at the
required tempo—four times for time signatures in 4
(4/4, etc.), and three times for time signatures in 3 (3/
4, etc.).
