EDIT
Since tracks are automatically set to the PLAY mode once they have been
recorded, and tracks containing data are automatically set to the PLAY mode
when the sequencer is initially engaged by pressing the [SEQUENCER] button,
all you have to do to play back a sequence is to press the [START/RE-START]
button. If you first press the [SYNCHRO START] button, sequencer playback
can be started by playing any key on the keyboard.
Any of the PLAY tracks can be muted before or during playback by pressing
the corresponding track button. The PLAY indicator will flash when a track is
muted. Normal playback can be restored by pressing the track buttons of muted
tracks a second time (the PLAY indicator will light continuously).
Before starting playback you can use the [
r
] and [
f
] buttons to move to any
measure number from which you want to begin playback. The [
p
] button goes
directly to measure number 1.
If the Super Styleplay section change parameter (page 41) is turned ON during
ACCOMP. track playback, the Super Styleplay section will change in accordance
with accompaniment variation transitions and the result may be different from the
recorded data.
You can play along with the sequence using the entire PSR-5700 keyboard,
selecting different voices and changing the tempo as required (subsequently
recorded tempo changes will still take effect).
Parameters That Can Be Changed During Playback
• Style select (styles with different time signatures cannot be selected)
• Volume (rhythm, bass, chord 1 & chord 2)
• Tempo
• Reverb & effect on/off
• Pad repeat and break on/off
• Interactive Accompaniment on/off & accompaniment variation
(VERSE 1, VERSE 2, CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2, SOLO)
• Pad
• Some FUNCTION parameters (pages 26 through 58)
If changes to any of the above parameters are recorded in the sequence, the re-
corded changes will still take effect even if you manually change the parameters
while playing.
Playback will stop automatically when the end of the sequence is reached. At
this point the parameters recorded on the ACCOMP. track will revert to their
initial values. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the [STOP]
button.
Press the [EXIT] key to exit the sequencer mode and return to the normal
play mode. The sequencer mode can also be exited by pressing the [SE-
QUENCER] button.
