SELECTING AND PLAYING SONGS — THE SONG MODE

Start playback of the song, and play the melody from the keyboard.

Start playback in the normal fashion (page 20) and play the melody along with the song. You can also change the Melody Guide setting while the song is playing back by simply pressing the MELODY GUIDE button.

To stop the song, press the START/STOP (>/■) button.

VOICE CHANGE

The Voice Change function allows you to set whether or not the keyboard voice changes automati- cally with the melody voice of the song. It is especially useful when used with Melody Guide, since it determines what voice sounds the melody when you play the keyboard. When set to “Off,” you can select from the 100 voices of the PortaTone for playing the melody from the keyboard.

Select a song.

With the Song mode active, select the desired song. (See page 20.)

Change the Voice Change setting.

Press the VOICE CHANGE button to turn Voice Change on or off.

Change the Voice directly.

VC On

MEASURE 001

In the VC On condition, you can also directly make your own voice selections by using the +/- keys or the numeric keypad. The programmed voice of the song and the keyboard voice both change to the new selection.

Settings:

VC On

When Voice Change is set to On, the voice played from the keyboard changes automatically with the melody voice of the song. Each song is programmed with an initial voice, and many have voice changes within the song itself. Setting this to on ensures that the voice played from the keyboard remains the same as the voice (or voices) programmed to the song.

VC Off

This turns the Voice Change function off. Use this setting when you wish to select a voice (or voices) yourself, independent from the selections programmed to the song.

NOTE:

The songs of the PortaTone often use special voices that are not selectable from the panel controls. These voices are indicated by the letters “SG” in the display.
