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-OR700 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. Song playback pauses, waiting for you to sing. Simply play a key
on the keyboard (any key is OK) and the Song playback continues. (For this func-
tion, the notes of the keyboard do not sound.)
Turning playback channels of the Song on and off
A Song consists of 16 separate channels. You can independently turn each
channel of the selected Song playback on or off. Usually, CH 1 is assigned to
[TR 1] button, CH 2 is assigned to [TR 2] button, and CH 3–16 are assigned
to the [EXTRA TR] button.
