Playing the Demonstration Tunes

Demonstration tunes are provided that effectively demonstrate each of the YPP-100's voices. There are also 20 preset songs that you can play individually, all in sequence, or in random order. Here's how you can select and play the demo tunes. 

NOTE
The demo or preset song mode cannot be engaged while a user song recorder (page 23) is in use.
No MIDI reception occurs in the demo/preset song mode.
The demo/preset song data is not transmitted via the MIDI connectors.

See page 39 for a complete listing of the demo tunes and preset songs.


Voice Demo

1.	Engage the Demo Mode
Press the [DEMO] button to engage the demo mode -- the voice selector indicators will flash in sequence.

2.	Play a Voice Demo
Press one of the voice selectors to start playback of all songs starting from the corresponding voice demo tune -- featuring the voice normally selected by that voice selector button. (If you press the SONG [START/STOP] button instead of a voice selector button, the PIANO 1 demo tune will begin playback.) The indicator of the selected voice selector button will flash during playback, and "- - -" will appear on the LED display. You can start playback of any other voice demo tune during playback by simply pressing the corresponding voice selector. You can stop playback at any time by pressing the SONG [START/STOP] button or the voice selector of the currently playing demo.

NOTE
Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume.

3.	Exit From the Demo Mode
Press the [DEMO] button to exit from the demo mode and return to the normal play mode.


Preset Song

1.	Engage the Preset Song Mode
Press the [PRESET SONG] button to engage the preset song mode -- the [PRESET SONG], TRACK [1] and [2] indicators will light.

2.	Play a Preset Song
To play any of the 20 preset songs provided, use the [minus/NO], [plus/YES] buttons to select the number of the tune you want to play (the number will appear on the LED display), then press the SONG [START/STOP] button. Playback will stop automatically when playback of the selected preset song has finished. 
Select "ALL" instead of a number to play all preset songs in sequence, or select 'rnd" to continuously play all preset songs in random order. Press the SONG [START/STOP] button to stop playback. 

NOTE
Use the [MASTER VOLUME] control to adjust the volume.
You can use the [TEMPO/FUNCTION DOWN,UP] buttons to adjust the playback tempo as required. This produces a relative tempo variation, with a range from "minus 50" through "- - -" to "50" at maximum; the range will differ depending on the selected song.
The default tempo "- - -" is automatically selected whenever a new preset song is selected, or playback of a new preset song begins during "ALL" or "rnd" playback.
You can play the keyboard along with the preset song playback. The voice playing on the keyboard can be changed.
You can change the Reverb type that is applied to the voice you play on the keyboard and for the preset song playback. You can change the Effect type and Touch sensitivity that is applied to the voice you play on the keyboard. When a new preset song is selected or a new preset song is automatically started in continuous play, the HALL 1 reverb type will automatically be selected.

3.	Exit From the Preset Song Mode
Press the [PRESET SONG] button to exit from the preset song mode, the indicator will go off, and return to the normal play mode.


Preset Song A-B Repeat
The A-B Repeat function can be used to continuously repeat a specified phrase within a preset song. Combined with the Part Cancel function described below, this provides an excellent way to practice difficult phrases.

1.	Specify the Beginning (A) of the Phrase
Select and play a preset song, then press the [FUNCTION] button at the beginning of the phrase you want to repeat. This sets the "A" point ("A-" will appear on the display). 
To set the "A" point at the very beginning of the song, press the [FUNCTION] button before starting playback.

2.	Specify the End (B) of the Phrase
Press the [FUNCTION] button a second time at the end of the phrase. This sets the "B" point ("A-b" will appear on the display). At this point repeat playback will begin between the specified A and B points. The metronome will sound when playback begins to give you a tempo reference. However, if playback repeats from the beginning of the song, there will be no tempo reference from metronome.
To set the B point at the song's end, press the [FUNCTION] button after song playback is complete and before "A-" disappears from the display.

3.	Stop Playback
Press the SONG [START/STOP] button to stop playback while retaining the specified A and B points. A-B repeat playback will resume if the SONG [START/STOP] button is then pressed again.
To cancel the A and B points press the [FUNCTION] button once.

NOTE
The A and B points are automatically canceled when a new song is selected.
The A-B Repeat function cannot be used during "ALL" or "rnd" playback.


Preset Song Part Cancel
The 20 preset songs have separate left- and right-hand parts that can be turned on and off as required so you can practice the corresponding part on the keyboard. The right-hand part is played by TRACK [1] track, and the left-hand part is played by TRACK [2] track. 

1.	Turn the Desired Part Off
Press the TRACK [1] or [2] button to turn the corresponding part off -- the corresponding indicator will go out (these buttons alternately toggle the corresponding part on and off). 

NOTE
The parts can be turned on or off even during playback.
The Preset Song Part Cancel function cannot be used during "ALL" or "rnd" playback.
The "Preset Song Part Cancel Volume" function described on page 29 can be used to set the canceled part so that it plays at a volume from "0" (no sound) to "20". The default setting is "5".
Both parts are automatically turned ON whenever a new song is selected.

2.	Start/Stop Playback
Press the SONG [START/STOP] button to start and stop playback as required. 

Synchro Start
When the Synchro Start function is engaged, playback of the selected preset song will begin automatically as soon as you start playing on the keyboard.
To engage the Synchro Start function press the SONG [START/STOP] button while holding the part button corresponding to the part which is ON. A dot will appear in the lower right corner of the display. (Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Synchro Start function.) 
Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard.

NOTE
If you hold a track button which is OFF while pressing the SONG [START/STOP] button, that track will be turned ON and the Synchro Start mode will be engaged. 

Soft Pedal Start/Stop 	
A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack can be used to start and stop playback of a preset song using the "Soft Pedal Mode" function described on page 29.
