Adjusting The Tempo - Yamaha PSR-S950 Owner's Manual

Changing Pattern Variation (Sections) During Style Playback
Each Style features four different Main sections, four Fill-in sections and a Break section. By using these sections
effectively, you can easily make your performance sound more dynamic and professional. The section can be freely
changed while the Style is playing back.
• MAIN VARIATION [A] – [D] buttons
Press one of the MAIN VARIATION [A] – [D] buttons to select the desired Main
section (the button lights in red). Each is an accompaniment pattern of a few
measures and it plays indefinitely. Pressing the selected MAIN VARIATION button
again plays an appropriate fill-in pattern to spice up the rhythm and break the
repetition.
AUTO FILL function
When the [AUTO FILL IN] button is turned on, pressing any of the
Main [A] – [D] buttons as you play automatically plays a fill-in section.
• [BREAK] button
This lets you add dynamic breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment. Press the
[BREAK] button during Style playback. When the one-measure Break pattern
finishes playing, the Style playback automatically shifts to the Main section.

Adjusting the Tempo

• TEMPO [-]/[+] buttons
By pressing the TEMPO [-] or [+] button, you can decrease/increase the tempo over
a range of 5 – 500. While the TEMPO pop-up is shown on the display, you can also
use the [DATA ENTRY] dial to adjust the value.
Pressing the TEMPO [-]/[+] buttons simultaneously resets the tempo to the default
value.
• [TAP TEMPO] button
During Style playback, you can change the tempo by tapping the [TAP TEMPO]
button twice at the desired tempo.
When the Style is stopped, tapping the [TAP TEMPO] button (four times for a 4/4
time signature) starts Style playback at the tempo you tapped.
Fading In/Out
• [FADE IN/OUT] button
This produces smooth fade-ins and fade-outs when starting/stopping playback. Press
the [FADE IN/OUT] button when playback is stopped and press the [START/STOP]
button to start playback with a fade in. To stop playback with a fade out, press the
[FADE IN/OUT] button during playback.
In the case of Audio Styles (page 44),
the tempo of 140% of the default is
shown under the current tempo.
