Playing the Demonstration Tunes Preset Song Part Cancel The 50 preset songs have separate left- and right-hand parts that can be turned on and off as required so you can practice the corresponding part on the keyboard.

(Some of the songs are arrangements for four-hands, tracks [1] and [2] correspond to primo and secondo parts of the arrangement.) 1 Turn the Desired Part Off .........................................
The Dual Mode The dual mode makes it possible to play two voices simultaneously across the entire range of the keyboard. To activate the dual mode simply press two voice selectors at the same time (or press one voice selector while holding another). The voice indicators of both selected voices will light when the dual mode is active. To return to the normal single-voice play mode, press any single voice selector.
The Split Mode The split mode makes it possible to play two different voices on the keyboard — one with the left hand and another with the right hand.

Brilliance This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output. The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT. For a brighter or “sharper” tone, slide the control towards the BRIGHT position. For a “rounder” more mellow tone, slide the control towards the MELLOW position. NOTE MELLOW BRILLIANCE BRIGHT • When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may become distorted.

To select a touch sensitivity type press the [TOUCH] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time the [TOUCH] button is pressed). HARD MEDIUM SOFT HARD The HARD setting requires the keys to be played quite hard to produce maximum loudness.
Tuning Tuning makes it possible to adjust the pitch of the P-80 over a 427.0 Hz … 453.0 Hz (corresponding to the A3 note’s Hz) range in approximately 0.2 Hertz intervals.

The Metronome & Tempo Control The P-80 built-in metronome is a convenient feature for practice, and it can also provide a solid rhythmic guide when recording with the User Song Recorder feature, described in the next section. The Metronome START/ STOP TEMPO/ FUNCTION# The metronome sound is alternately turned on and off by pressing the METRONOME [START/STOP] button. When on, the beat indicator flashes at the current tempo. – / NO + / YES Beat indicator Metronome Time Signature ........................
Using the User Song Recorder The P-80 features a two-track user song recorder that lets you record what you play on the keyboard and then play it back. Two tracks mean that you can “overdub” one part on top of another, using a different voice if you like. The user song recorder feature is a useful adjunct to any keyboard study program, since it lets you hear exactly how you sound from the listener’s perspective. It can also be just plain fun.
Using the User Song Recorder 4 Start Recording ....................................................................................... Recording will begin automatically as soon as you play a note on the keyboard or press the SONG [START/STOP] button. The current measure number will appear on the display while recording. • If the metronome was on when you started recording, you’ll be able to keep time with the metronome while recording, but the metronome sound will not be recorded.
