Selecting and Playing Songs

The PSR-350 features a total of 105 songs. These include 100 songs that showcase the rich
and dynamic sounds of the instrument, and 80 of these songs can be used with the educa-
tional Lesson feature (page 63), a powerful tool that makes learning songs fun and easy. Three
of the songs are special Demonstration songs that can be played automatically by pressing
the [DEMO] button. Moreover, there are five special User songs to which you can record your
own performance.
The User songs are "empty" and cannot be played until something has been recorded to them.
(For instructions on recording your own songs, see page 58.)
You can also play back songs from floppy disks; for details, see page 69.

* The indication "F t" appears in the display when a song
having a "free" tempo is selected.
Certain songs have been composed or arranged in "free"
tempo, meaning that the tempo and/or the time signature
are not constant during the piece. As a result, when a
"free" tempo song plays back, the measure, beat and tim-
ing indications are not shown in the display.
About the Beat Display
The arrow marks in the beat display flash in time
with the rhythm of the song or style. The first
arrow indicates the first beat of the measure, and
the others flash in sequence.
