SELECTING AND PLAYING SONGS — THE SONG MODE
The Song mode features 100 special songs that have been created using the rich and dynamic sounds of the PortaTone.
The songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with them on the keyboard. A Voice Change function lets you set whether the keyboard voice changes or not with the voice changes in the song itself. Also, by using the Minus One function, you can “mute” the original melody and play it manually on the keyboard yourself.
