Step 2: Select the Track(s) for Playback.
: »» When you choose the Song number, at this
point the LEDs of all Tracks which have been recorded on

If the LED is lit, the Track will be Played Back, if the LED is
not lit, the Track is OFF, and will not be Played Back.
* If you press the STOP button in this STAND BY status, it will turn OFF

one Track among several ones activated.
Step 3: Start Playback.
When you press the PLAY button, Recorded data on
selected Tracks will be Played Back simultaneously. It is
possible to turn each Track select button ON or OFF during
Playback, but if you turn OFF all of the Tracks, the
Playback will stop immediately.

the Bar <001>, and the Track LEDs you selected will
remain lit. Also, you can Stop the Playback at any time, by
pressing the STOP button, but in this case the SONG#/
MEASURE display's indication will be the Bar number when
the Playback was Stopped, so now if you press the PLAY
button again, Playback will Start from that Bar number.
When you want to return to the Beginning of the Song, you
can always press the RESET button at any time regardless
of the START/STOP Status.
»» How to use FAST FORWARD & REWIND
buttons:
Each time you press the FAST FORWARD or REWIND
buttons, you can go Forward or Backward Bar by Bar, or by
pressing and holding down either button, you can do it at an
accelerated rate. After you reach the location desired,
bis the Button, and press the PLAY button to Start the
ong.
* You can use the FAST FORWARD or REWIND buttons during
Playback, but while you're holding the Button down the Playback
sounds cannot be heard.
*
When you begin to Playback a Song on the way, sometimes you may
hear different sound (Voices or phrases) from you have Recorded. This
happens because of the Recording format adopted to the Song
Memory. (It records only Changes and their Timings - a Voice to
another, or a duration of a certain chord accompaniment, etc..
Operation of Song Memory is very similar to that of a cassette deck.
However, Recording format is quite different.) So if you Playback a
Song on the way and the Change data for a Voice is missed, this
results in Playback with the Voice unchanged. To have a Playback as
you have Recorded, first you should Rewind to the Bar at which you
made the Change. Then try a Playback. Or if you have made the
Change at the beginning of a Bar, Reweind one more Bar behind. If
you may have Recorded more fastly than you intended to, the Change |
will occur at the end of the Bar just before the Bar of your destination.
q
Of course, when you Playback a Song from the beginning, this |
inconvenience will not take place but you have a good Playback.
Remember, not only the Song Memory of the PSS-790, but also the
device so called "Sequencer" is generally adopted with the Recording
format mentioned above.
>> How to use RESET button:
RESET button functions for you to return to the Beginning
of the Song. If you press the RESET button during
Playback, the Playback sounds will immediately Stop and
you will be positioned at the Bar «001» again.
Also, the RESET button will initialize the Song. That is, it
brings the LEDs of the Tracks which are possible to be
Played Back, all to light up and sets the Tempo to the one
at the Beginning of the Song.
