Split Point Change; Page Memory - Yamaha PORTATONE PSR-400 Owner's Manual

Press the TEMPO
button to increase the tempo, or
button to decrease the tempo. The se-
the TEMPO
lected tempo will be displayed on the MULTI DISPLAY
(in quarter-note beats per minute) while the TEMPO
or button is pressed, and for approximately 2 seconds
after either TEMPO button is released.
The available tempo range is from 40 to 240 beats per
minute. Each accompaniment style has a different "de-
fault" tempo which is automatically set whenever a new
style is selected (but not when a new style is selected
while the accompaniment is playing). The default tempo
for the currently selected accompaniment style can be
recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO
buttons at the same time.

SPLIT POINT CHANGE

Separate split points can be set for the SPLIT, FIN-
GERED, and SINGLE FINGER modes. The default split
point settings are as follows:
SPLIT mode: C#3
SINGLE FINGER mode: D2
FINGERED mode: G2
The split point for each mode can be set to any other
key while that mode is selected by pressing the desired
split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT
CHANGE] button.
The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for
as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held.
The C3 key, for example, would be displayed as "c 3".
F#2 would be displayed as "F -2". The sharp is indicated
by the lit bar between the "F" and the "2."
The SPLIT, SINGLE FINGER, and FINGERED mode
split points are retained in memory and will be recalled
whenever the corresponding mode is selected.
Note that the split-point key is included in the right-
hand section of the keyboard.
When this parameter has been changed, be sure to store the
new data to a PAGE MEMORY (see next paragraph). If this is
not done the newly selected data will be lost when a different
PAGE MEMORY is selected.

PAGE MEMORY

The PAGE MEMORY can be used to store 4 complete
sets of panel settings (including the contents of the SONG
MEMORY and MULTI PAD features) in the PSR-500
and 2 in the PSR-400 that can then be recalled simply by
pressing a single button.
When the power is initially turned on the previously
selected "PAGE" is automatically selected and its indica-
tor will light. If any changes are then made to the panel
settings the PAGE indicator will flash, indicating that
changes have been made. If the same PAGE button is then
pressed the original PAGE settings will be recalled and

the indicator will light continuously again.
