3
Songs
3 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired Guide mode.
Guide modes for keyboard practice
• Follow Lights
When this is selected, Song playback pauses, waiting for you to play the notes correctly. 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 keyboard indicating the
notes to be played. Even though the PSR-S970/S770 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 the music and Song playback continues.
• Your Tempo
The same as Follow Lights, except that Song playback matches the speed at which you play.
Guide mode for singing
• Karao-Key
This function lets you control the Song playback timing with just one finger, while you sing along. This is
useful for singing to your own performance. Song playback pauses, waiting for you to sing. Simply play
any key on the keyboard (playing the keyboard produces no sound) and Song playback continues.
4 Turn the [GUIDE] button on.
5 Call up the Score display by pressing the [SCORE] button.
6 Press the SONG [F/ K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button to start playback.
Practice playing the keyboard or singing, along with the Guide mode selected in step 3.
7 Press the [J] (STOP) button to stop playback.
NOTE You can save the Guide settings as a part of the Song data (page 65). For Songs to which the Guide settings have been saved, the Guide function will be
automatically turned on and the related settings will be recalled when the Song is selected.
