Yamaha 205M User Manual

The explanations here apply to step #3 of the procedure on page 125.

Quick Start
On some commercially avail-
able song data, certain set-
tings related to the song 
(such as voice selection, vol-
ume, etc.) are recorded to 
the first measure, before the 
actual note data. When 
Quick Start is set to “ON,” 
the CVP-205/203 reads all 
initial non-note data of the 
song at the highest possible 
speed, then automatically 
slows down to the appropri-
ate tempo at the first note. 
This allows you to start play-
back as quickly as possible, 
with a minimum pause for 
reading of data.

n

Channel 
Refers to the MIDI channel 
(page 150). The channels 
are assigned as follows:
  Song
     1 - 16
  Accompaniment Style
     9 - 16

n

The guide lamps light in 
response to song channel 
assigned to Tracks 1 and 2, 
as well as chord data (when 
contained in the song). Nor-
mally, you can leave the 
AUTO SET CH function set 
to ON, and the song channel 
will automatically be set.  If 
the results aren’t satisfac-
tory, you’ll need to match the 
Channel Setting "TRK1 CH" 
and "TRK2 CH" parameters 
to the appropriate right- and 
left-hand parts.

n

Phrase Mark
This data specifies a certain 
location in the song data. In 
the included “Music Software 
Collection” songs (CVP-203 
only), these are indicated by 
numbers (1, 2, etc.) in the 
score.

Determines the Guide 
method.

Turns guide lamps ON or 
OFF.

Determines the timing for the guide 
lamps.

JUST ........ The guide lamps light 

precisely at the moment 
you should play.

NEXT ........ The guide lamps light just 

before the moment you 
should play. If you miss the 
proper timing, the guide 
lamps flash.

Turns Quick Start on/off (see note).

Allows you to play back all songs 
from the same folder continuously.

Determines the MIDI channel assigned 
to the [TRACK2] button.

Determines the MIDI channel assigned 
to the [TRACK1] button.

When set to “ON,” this 
automatically sets the proper 
Track 1 and Track 2 channels for 
use with the practice functions. 
Normally, this should be set to 
“ON.”

Determines the language of the 
displayed lyrics. 
When this is set to “AUTO,” the 
language defaults to that of the 
song data. When not set to 
“AUTO,” the language defaults to 
Japanese, when the internal 
setting (page 143) is 
“JAPANESE”; for all other 
languages, this is set to 
“INTERNATIONAL.”

Determines whether the Phrase 
Mark Repeat function for the song 
is on or off. When this is on, you 
can repeatedly play back a 
specified phrase (selection of 
measures) of the song. The 
method for setting a phrase mark 
is the same as that in the SONG 
POSITION display (page 77).
