Selecting a Mode Your PortaTone has three different operating modes: Voice, Style and Song - each selected from the corresponding panel buttons. VOICE lets you select and play a Voice. STYLE lets you select and play a setting that includes a rhythm/accompaniment pattern. SONG lets you select and play either a Song or a Jam Track pattern. To select one of the modes: Press the button corresponding to the desired mode. For now, press SONG to select the Song mode. Playing a Song in the Song Mode A variety of Songs and special Jam Tracks have been recorded to your PortaTone to give you a taste of what you can do with the instrument, and to provide music and patterns for you to play along with. To select and play one of the Songs: 1. With the Song mode selected, use the Numeric Keypad to enter the desired Song or Jam Track number. Be sure to enter a two-digit number, as is printed next to each song on the panel. For example, to select Song 09, first press "0" on the Numeric Keypad, then "9." You can also use the +/- buttons on the Numeric Keypad to step up or down through the preset numbers; holding down the appropriate button continuously changes the number. Note that the +/- buttons have a "wrap around" feature. For example, pressing the + button from the last number returns to Song 01. (Song 01 is also automatically selected when you turn the power on.) 3
