[. . . ] (See page 26. ) A/B Repeat This useful function is ideal for practicing and learning purposes. It allows you to specify any section or phrase of a song (between point A and point B) and repeat it -- while you play or practice along with it. While playing back a song, set point A (the start point of the section). With the Song mode active, select and play back the desired song. (See button page 20. ) Then, while the song is playing back, press the once at the beginning point of the section to be repeated.

The selected phrase repeats indefinitely until stopped. A-b Repeat MEASURE 012 Pause or stop playback as needed. Use the Pause ( ) and START/STOP (>/s) buttons. Stopping playback does not cancel the set A/B points or the A/B Repeat function. Turn off the A/B Repeat function. Press the button. This can be done either when the song is stopped or during playback. oFF Repeat MEASURE 001 HINT: · You can also set the A/B Repeat function while the song is stopped. Simply use the r/f buttons to select the measures for the A and B points in the song, then start playback. · While the song is playing back (but before setting the A/B points), try slowing down the Tempo (page 21). Slowing down the Tempo also makes it easier to practice the parts you want to learn. · To set the A point at the beginning of a song, press the button before starting song playback. NOTE: Selecting a different song number (or changing to the Style mode) automatically cancels the A/B Repeat function. 25 Selecting and Playing Songs -- The Song Mode Melody Guide The PortaTone has a special Melody Guide function that makes practice and learning of the 100 songs both fun and easy. During song playback, the PortaTone shows the notes of the melody in the music staves and the keyboard diagram in the display -- indicating which notes you should play and when you should play them. The Melody Guide function even lets you practice at your own pace by automatically pausing playback until you play the correct notes. To further help you play the correct melody notes, scores for all songs have been provided. There are two different types of Melody Guide operations: Waiting (auto pause playback) and Minus One (muted melody). These can be turned on either before starting a song, or while a song is playing. Select a song. With the Song mode active, select the desired song. (See page 20. ) Set the Melody Guide function. Press the MELODY GUIDE button repeatedly until the desired setting is shown in the display. Waiting VOICE MELODY CHANGE GUIDE WAITING MINUS ONE MEASURE 001 OFF Settings: Waiting When set to Waiting, the PortaTone waits for you to play the correct melody notes, automatically pausing song playback until each note is played. The next note to be played is indicated in the display (in the music staves and the keyboard diagram). MinusOne Minus One, as its name implies, mutes the melody part of the song, allowing you to play that part yourself. Song playback continues without pausing, so you can play the melody part naturally in time with the music. The next note to be played is indicated in the display (in the music staves and the keyboard diagram). MinusOne Off This turns the Melody Guide function off. NOTE: Melody Guide is turned off automatically when a different song number is selected. 26 Selecting and Playing Songs -- The Song Mode Start playback of the song, and play the melody from the keyboard. Start playback in the normal fashion (page 20) and play the melody along with the song. You can also change the Melody Guide setting while the song is playing back by simply pressing the MELODY GUIDE button.
