Playing Styles
PSR-E253/YPT-255 Owner’s Manual

Each Style consists of “Sections” that allow you to
vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to
match the song you are playing. These instructions
cover a typical example for using the Sections.

Same as Steps 1–3 in page 18.

Press the [MAIN/AUTO FILL] button to
select Main A or Main B.
5
Press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button.
Now, you’re ready to start Style playback from the
Intro section.
6
Play a chord with your left hand to start
playback of the Intro.
For this example, play a C major chord (as shown
below). For information on how to enter chords,
see “Chord Types for Style Playback” on page 20.

After the Intro finishes, play the key-
board according to the progression of
the Song you are playing.
Play chords with your left hand while playing mel-
odies with your right hand, and press the [MAIN/
AUTO FILL] button as necessary. The Section will
change to Fill-in then Main A or B.
8
Press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button.
The Section switches to the Ending. When the
Ending is finished, Style playback stops automati-
cally. You can have the Ending gradually slow
down (ritardando) by pressing the [INTRO/END-
ING/rit.] button again while the Ending is playing
back.
Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button to call up the Tempo
value, then use the [-] and [+] buttons to adjust the
Tempo value.
Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to reset
the value to the default tempo of the current Style or
Song.
Using the Tap function
While a Song or Style is playing back, press the
[TEMPO/TAP] button just twice at the desired tempo
to change the tempo. While Song or Style playback is
stopped, tap the [TEMPO/TAP] button several times
to start playback at the tapped tempo—four times for
a 4-beat Song or Style or three times for a 3-beat
Song or Style.
