The Minus One Mode

When the Minus One mode is engaged, the left-hand, right-hand, or both keyboard parts of a song — internal demo or Music Cartridge — are turned

OFF so you can practice them on the PSR-520 keyboard. The “MinusMod” function in the OVERALL function group determines which part or parts are turned OFF when the Minus One mode is engaged.

To turn the Minus One function ON, thus cancelling the specified parts, press the [MINUS ONE] button. The MINUS ONE icon will appear in the display when the Minus One function is engaged.
