Yamaha YPR-50 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
Song Controls
The YPR-50 features various song controls, including "transport" buttons (such as REW and FF) and Part
on/off control that lets you selectively and independently play back the left- or right-hand parts of a song.
Song "transport" buttons
These convenient buttons let you control song playback just as you would on a CD player or tape deck.
START/STOP, SELECT
With the songs, this button is used for two different functions: 1) to select a specific song, and 2) to start/stop
playback of the selected song. Also, when a Pianist style is playing, it can be used to stop the Pianist style.
Selecting a song
Simultaneously hold down the SONG SELECT button and press the appropriate key (C5 - G6, as indicated
on the panel) to select the desired song. The selected song starts playing back as soon as you release the
SONG button. To stop the song, press the SONG button again.
Starting and stopping playback of a selected song
Press the SONG START/STOP button to start playback of the selected song. While a song is playing back,
press this button to stop playback.
PAUSE
Pressing this pauses playback of the song at the current point in the song.
Press the PAUSE button again to resume playback of the song from the paused point.
REW (Rewind)
Hold this button down during song playback to move measure-by-measure in reverse through the song. The
song automatically starts playing back from the selected point as soon as the REW button is released.
