Selecting and Playing Songs
The PSR-282 features a total of 105 songs. These include 100 songs that showcase the rich
and dynamic sounds of the instrument, and all 100 of these songs can be used with the educa-
tional Lesson feature (page 60), a powerful tool that makes learning songs fun and easy. Ten of
the songs are special Demonstration songs that can be played automatically by pressing the
[DEMO] button. Moreover, there are five special User songs to which you can record your own
performance.
The User songs are “empty” and cannot be played until something has been recorded to them.
