Using Music Cartridges

3 Start Playback

Playback will begin as soon as the [START/STOP] button is pressed. You can turn the MELODY and ACCOMPANIMENT tracks on and off during playback as required by using the TRACK buttons.

START/STOP /

Playback can be started from any mea- sure — page 54.

The playback tempo can be changed freely as required.

Cartridge song data cannot be revoiced.

You may not be able to play back the car- tridge songs properly just after turning the power on since it takes for a while for the PSR-530 to read the cartridge data.

Cartridge Accompaniment Styles

Optional Style Music Cartridges provides extra accompaniment styles that can be used in the same way as the internal accompaniment styles after pressing the [STYLE] button to select the STYLE menu.

Cartridges which contain both song and style data require a slightly different style selection procedure: Press and hold the number [3] button until the cartridge icon appears to the left of the style name in the display, then enter the number of the cartridge style you want to select via the number buttons or data dial in the normal way. The cartridge styles can also be selected by using the [–]and [+] buttons or data dial to go beyond the highest or lowest internal style numbers — e.g. pressing the [+] button while internal style number 100 is selected will select cartridge style number 01 (the cartridge icon will appear).

The cartridge styles are used in exactly the same way as the internal accompaniment styles (page 22).

Some cartridge styles, for example, have A and B intro and end- ing sections as well as A and B main sec- tions. In such a case, if the [INTRO] and

MAIN/AUTO FILL [A] buttons are pressed in order to start the ac- companiment with an introduction and then go to the main A sec- tion, the intro A sec- tion will play. If the [INTRO] and MAIN/ AUTO FILL [B] but- tons are pressed, the intro B section will play. A similar situa- tion applies to end- ings: if the main A or B section is playing and the [ENDING] button is pressed, the ending A or B section will play accordingly.

You may not be able to select the cartridge styles just after turn- ing the power on since it takes for a while for the PSR-530 to read the cartridge style data.
