Yamaha PortaTone PSR-79 Manual - Tion.

Selecting and Playing Songs — The Song Mode

Pause or stop playback as needed.

Use the Pause (❙ ❙) and START/STOP (>/■) buttons.  Stopping playback does not

cancel the set A/B points or the A/B Repeat function.

Turn off the A/B Repeat func-

tion.

Press the 

 button.  This can be done

either when the song is stopped or during play-

back.

HINT:

• You can also set the A/B Repeat function while the song is stopped.  Simply use the r/f buttons to select the measures for the

A and B points in the song, then start playback.

• While the song is playing back (but before setting the A/B points), try slowing down the Tempo (page 21).  This makes it easier

to accurately set the A and B points.  Slowing down the Tempo also makes it easier to practice the parts you want to learn.

• To set the A point at the beginning of a song, press the 

 button before starting song playback.

NOTE:

Selecting a different song number (or changing to the Style mode) automatically cancels the A/B Repeat function.

Set point B (the end point of

the section).

Press the 

 button once again, at the

ending point of the section to be repeated.  The

selected phrase repeats indefinitely until stopped.
