SONG

Playback previously recorded songs (page 36, 57, 137)

Enjoy a wide variety of preset songs as well as songs on commercially available disks.

STYLE

SCALE SETTING/SCALE MEMORY

Using oriental scales (page 99)

The Scale Setting feature lets you easily lower the pitches of specific notes by 50 cents to create your own oriental scales. Up to six scale settings can be stored for instant recall (Scale Memory), whenever you need them.

Back up your performance with Auto Accompaniment (page 46, 103)

Playing a chord with your left hand automatically plays the auto accompaniment backing. Select an accompaniment style — such as pop, jazz, Latin, etc. — and let the PORTATONE be your backing band!

DIGITAL RECORDING

Record your performances (page 43, 143)

With the powerful and easy-to-use song recording features, you can record your own keyboard performances, and create your own complete, fully orchestrated compositions — which you can then save to the USER drive or a USB storage device for future recall.

And since the recorded data is MIDI, you can easily edit your songs, too.
