The Minus One Mode
When the Minus One mode is engaged, the left-hand, right-hand, or both
keyboard parts of a song — internal demo or Music Cartridge — are turned off
so you can practice them on the PSR-320/420 keyboard. The “MinusMod”
function in the OVERALL function group determines which part or parts are
turned off when the Minus One mode is engaged.
To turn the Minus One function on, thus canceling the specified parts, press
the
[MINUS ONE]
button. The MINUS ONE icon will appear in the display
when the Minus One function is engaged.
