What is PLAY mode?
 
This is the mode in which you play the PC-50.
In PLAY mode, playing the keyboard will transmit note messages to play the MIDI device.
 In PLAY mode, you can play the keyboard to produce sound on a connected sound module, and 
also use various other functions, such as operating the Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever to change the 
pitch of the currently sounding note (Pitch Bend), adding vibrato (Modulation), or switching the 
octave (Octave Shift).
In this mode you can also specify the MIDI transmit channel, and transmit program changes, 
parameters, or start/stop messages.
