Changing The Tempo; Accompaniment Sections (Main A/B And Fill-Ins) - Yamaha Raptor PSR-350 Owner's Manual

Changing the Tempo

The tempo of style playback can be adjusted over a range of 32 - 280 bpm (beats
per minute).
1
Call up the Tempo setting.
Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button.
2
Change the value.
Use the numeric keypad to set the desired Tempo value, or use the [+]/[-]
buttons to increase or decrease the value.
Also, the tempo of a style returns to the default setting when selecting a dif-
ferent style. (The set tempo remains, however, when switching styles during
playback.)

Accompaniment Sections (Main A/B and Fill-ins)

While the accompaniment is playing, you can add variation in the rhythm/accom-
paniment by pressing the [MAIN/AUTO FILL] button. This switches between
the Main A and Main B sections, automatically playing a fill-in pattern to
smoothly lead into the next section. For example, if the Main A section is cur-
rently playing, pressing this button automatically plays a fill-in pattern, followed
by the Main B section. (See illustration on page 42.)
You can also select either the Main A or B section to start by pressing the [MAIN/
AUTO FILL] button before starting the style.

This appears while the fill-in
pattern is playing.
Auto Accompaniment
• When accompaniment playback
is stopped and a different style is
selected, the tempo returns to
the default setting of the new
style. When switching styles dur-
ing playback, the last tempo set-
ting is maintained. (This allows
you to keep the same tempo,
even when changing styles.)
Restoring the Default Tempo
Value
Each song and style has been
given a default or standard Tempo
setting. If you've changed the
Tempo, you can instantly restore
the default setting by pressing both
[+]/[-] buttons simultaneously
(when Tempo is selected).
• You can also use the convenient
Tap Tempo function to change
the tempo by "tapping" a new one
in real time. (See page 37.)
• Rhythm sounds and fill-in sec-
tions are not available when one
of the Pianist styles (#097 - #106)
are selected.
