Yamaha AR-100 - Manual (Page 14)

8 1. Introductory Guide
Playing the Demo Songs
Before you start playing your new AR-100, you’ll probably want to hear what the instrument is truly
capable of doing. For this purpose, the AR-100 features a variety of special Demo Songs that showcase
the dynamic Voices and Styles of the instrument. There are a total of 24 Demo Songs, each recorded
in a different music style, and each corresponding to the 24 music styles of the Registration Menu.
Though the Demo Songs are a wonderful introduction to the instrument for those just starting out, we
suggest you listen to the Demo Songs from time to time. No matter what your level of Electone
expertise, you’ll find them to be a continuing source of inspiration for ways to best use and perform
on your new AR-100.
To select and play a Demo Song or Songs:
1.
Press the DEMO button, located at the top right of the front panel.
Within several seconds, the AR-100 automatically starts playing all Demo Songs in order, and
the entire Demo repeats indefinitely.
You can use the Data Control buttons (below the corresponding functions in the display) to
turn Repeat on/off, or change the Demo Song mode — ALL (all Songs in order), RANDOM (all
Songs at random), or SINGLE (a single selected Song).
2.
To stop Demo play back and quit the Demo function, press the DEMO
button again.
Alternately, you can both stop playback and quit the Demo function simultaneously by pressing
the currently lit REGISTRATION MENU button (during playback).
