For Keyboard Performance
Follow Lights
When this is selected, Song playback pauses, waiting for you to play the notes cor-
rectly. When you play the correct notes, Song playback continues. Follow Lights
was developed for the Yamaha Clavinova series. This function is used for practicing
purposes, with built-in lamps on the Clavinova keyboard indicating the notes to be
played. Even though the PSR-S900/S700 does not have these lamps, you can use
the same function by following the indications in the displayed notation with the
Song Score function.
Any Key
With this function, you can play the melody of a Song just by pressing a single key
(any key is OK) in time with the rhythm. Song playback pauses and waits for you to
play any key. Simply play a key on the keyboard in time with music and the Song
playback continues.
For Singing
Karao-key
This function lets you control the Song playback timing with just one finger, while
you sing along. This is useful for singing to your own performance.
Song playback pauses, waiting for you to sing. Simply play a key on the keyboard
and the Song playback continues.
Vocal CueTIME (PSR-S900)
This function lets you practice singing with the proper pitch.
