Yamaha PORTATONE PSR-110 Owner's Manual page 9

The SONG Mode features Demonstration
Songs and Jam Track patterns that have been
specially created using the rich sounds and
sophisticated accompaniment functions of the
PortaTone.
The Songs in the SONG Mode (selected
from 0-19) are generally for your listening
enjoyment; however, you can also play along
with them by using the Minus-one function.
Minus-one, as its name implies, takes away
Pe melody part of the song, allowing you to
play that part yourself.
The Jam Track patterns in this Mode
(selected from 20-39) let you " jam" or play
along with a variety of dynamic rhythm styles
and chord changes.
Selecting a Song or Jam
Track Pattern
1. Turn the MUSIC MODE SELECTOR to
select SONG.
2. Use the Numeric Keypad to select the desired
Song (0-19) or Jam Track pattern (20-39)
number.
3. To playback the complete Song, including
the melody part, press the DEMO button.
To use the Minus-one function with the se-

More About the SONG Mode
The Voice for the melody of each Song is automatically
selected and you can play the keyboard using the same Voice
as the one used for the melody. You can also change the Voice
while the Song/Jam Track is playing by switching to the
VOICE Mode and selecting the desired Voice. (Voice changes
of the preset Song will automatically affect both the melody of
that Song and the Voice you play on the keyboard. You can
start each Song /Jam Track pattern [except Demonstrations]
with your selected Voice by selecting the Voice in the VOICE
Mode and switching back to the SONG Mode.) However,
changing to another Song/Jam Track automatically switches to
that new one's default preset Voice and the preset tempo.
Note:
Starting a Song also automatically changes the Style number.
