Select a Style .................................................

The PSR-520 has 100 styles that can be selected by using either the [-/
NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the number buttons or the data dial (these con-
trols function in the same way as for voice selection — see page 12). The
styles are listed in the STYLE list printed at the top of the instrument's con-
trol panel. The number and name of the currently selected style appears on
the top line of the display while the STYLE function is selected.

Set the Tempo
When you select a different style while the accompaniment is not play-
ing, the "default" tempo for that style is also selected, and the tempo is dis-
played to the right of the metronome icon "TEMPO" in quarter-note beats
per minute. If the accompaniment is playing and the One Touch Setting
function is OFF (page 42), the same tempo is maintained even if, you select
a different style.
You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280 beats per
minute, however, by using TEMPO
briefly to decrement or increment the tempo value by one, or hold the button
for continuous decrementing or incrementing. The default tempo for the
selected style can be recalled at any time by pressing both the TEMPO
and
buttons simultaneously.
You can also use the CURSOR buttons to select the tempo value in the
display, and then use the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons, the number buttons
or the data dial to set the tempo value as required. In this case the [-/NO]
and [+/YES] buttons can be pressed simultaneously to recall the default
tempo. This can be done either before the accompaniment is started or while
it is playing.
