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 MEASURE 001 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.
