- 1. You can let Yamaha set it up with Voices they think would go well with some of their Styles.
2. Choose a song from the MUSIC FINDER and again, the keyboard will be set up with a suitable Style and Voices.
3. You can set the keyboard up yourself for what you want to play, choosing your own Styles and Voices.
2. Choose a song from the MUSIC FINDER and again the keyboard will be set up with a suitable STYLE, and VOICE combinations put into the ONE TOUCH SETTINGS all ready for you to play the song the way described above.
To look for a song in the Music Finder, press the MUSIC FINDER button on the right (lit up WHITE).
Hopefully, the songs on the screen will be in alphabetical order, but if not you can change the 'view' on the screen so it is in alphabetical order (see the video below). When you're looking to see if they list a particular song you can speed thing up by pressing the 'down arrow' in 1 underneath the screen, which will scroll down by one alphabet letter at a time (on the first press it will highlight the first song under A). And you can then move one song 'up' or 'down' by pressing the arrows in 2. When you land on the song you want the keyboard will already be set up for you to play it.
Or you can 'dial' with the DATA ENTRY wheel until you land on the song you want, but you then have to press the ENTER button to load the song in. If you have a lot of songs listed then it is best to get the letter of the alphabet showing first, and then use the DATA ENTRY wheel.

More on using MUSIC FINDER while we're looking at it. If you find the set TEMPO not to your liking you can obviously change the Tempo before you start playing the piece. Now you would probably do this after you have set up the song. But you can if you wish put that new TEMPO you have chosen permanently into the MUSIC FINDER list. Then next time you go to play the song from the Music Finder the TEMPO will be the correct one for you.

So now I'm going to find a (simple) song to play using Music Finder. The one I have in mind is Grandfather Clock.
Leroy Troy "Grandfather's Clock"
Looking down the Music Finder list I find this:
Not sure about the STYLE they've chosen for it, but I'll have a go at playing it with what they suggest. And then I'll do it again by setting the song up with some Registration Memories of my own in Part 3. As I play this I am moving the MAIN VARIATION from B to C to D .. and back to B; and the OTS buttons are moving from 2 to 3 to 4 .. and then back to 2, giving me my change of voices.
