PF-500 65Detailed settings for recording and playback [SONG SETTING]
You can make detailed settings for the selected song. First, select the desired song from preset songs (“Preset-
Song”) or memory songs (“MemorySong”) (see page 48).
Procedure

Select the desired song and press the [SONG SETTING] button to access the “Song Setting”

menu.

You can correct the timing of notes. For example,
you can adjust recorded notes to precise eighth or
sixteenth notes, or make the entire feel of a song
more lively (with a swing type of rhythm).
• Changes are made by song.
• You can also listen to the sound while changing
the setting. To change the data, you need to
respond to “Execute?→.”
See the procedure on page 63.
Notes for which you can adjust the timing:
If you select “1/8” or “1/16” for correction, the PF-
500 displays “SwingRate=xx%”, which enables you
to make the entire feel of a song more lively and
swinging.
Setting range:
0% - 100%
If you select “1/8” for correction:
Save the edited song data to memory. (See page 45.)
