Yamaha PSR-140 Style Sections Main A, Main B and FILL-INS, Adjusting the Accompaniment Volume

SELECTING AND PLAYING STYLES — THE STYLE MODE

STYLE SECTIONS (MAIN A, MAIN B) AND FILL-INS

While the style is playing, you can add variation in the rhythm/accompaniment by pressing one of the MAIN A/B (AUTO FILL) buttons. This automatically plays one of four Fill-in sections, and smoothly leads into the next section — even if it is the same section.

O/	rit	MAIN A	MAIN B OTS
NG

NOTE:

•If you press the MAIN A or B button, the Fill-in will begin immediately, and the newly selected section (A or B) will actually begin playing from the top of the next measure, unless the MAIN A or B button is pressed during the last beat of the measure — in which case the Fill-in will begin from the first beat of the next measure.

•Fill-in patterns are not available when one of the Piano styles (#81 - #100) are selected.

ADJUSTING THE ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME

The playback volume of the accompaniment can be adjusted. This volume control affects only the style volume. The volume range is 000 - 127.

Select the Accompani- ment Volume function in the Overall menu.

Press the OVERALL t button, repeat- edly if necessary, until “AcmpVol” appears in the display.

Current Accompaniment Volume value
110	AcmpVol
ACMP VOL		TEMPO
	ACMP	116
	ON

Change the value.

Use the OVERALL +/- buttons to increase or decrease the Accompaniment Volume value. Holding down either button continuously in- creases or decreases the value.

Restoring the Default Value

To restore the default Accompaniment Volume value (110), press both OVERALL +/- buttons simultaneously (when Accompaniment Volume is selected in the Overall menu).

NOTE:

Accompaniment Volume cannot be changed unless the Style mode is active.
