Selecting and Playing Songs
The Song mode features 100 special songs that have been created using the rich and dynamic
sounds of the PSR-160.
The songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play
along with them on the keyboard. The songs of the PSR-160 can also be used
with the powerful Lesson feature (page 34), a convenient tool that makes learning
songs fun and easy.
Selecting and Playing a Song
1 Press the [SONG] button.
2 Select the desired song number.
Use the numeric keypad. The basic categories of songs and their numbers
are shown at the left of the panel.
Song numbers can be selected in the same way as with the voices (see page
24). You can use the numeric keypad to directly enter the song number, or
use the [+]/[-] buttons to step up and down through the songs.
3 Start the selected song.
Press the [START/STOP] button. As the song plays back, the measure num-
ber, chords and melody notes are shown in the display.

nient Tap Tempo function that
