any key and in any style!

Before you dive in though, you

really should find out more about

the various Jam features and

operations to get the most out of

the instrument. So, go on to the

next few pages, using the preset

demo songs to play with the Jam

function.

24 SHS-500 Owner’s Manual

The preset demo songs let you fully experience the Jam function—without the need to connect to the

smart device app—by automatically activating the Jam function and selecting the suitable Jam mode.

Simply START playback of a demo song and have fun playing along with it!

Selecting a Demo Song

Three demo songs are provided for selecting by pressing the [ / ] (Play/Pause) button (the

indicator flashes). Selecting a demo song automatically activates the Jam mode and starts repeat

playback of all the songs. The name of the demo song will be shown in the display.

To stop playback, press the [ / ] (Play/Pause) button repeatedly until the indicator goes off.

finger). Try creating interesting ad-lib phrases, and enjoy consistently beautiful musical results!

 Demo Song: TryAcmp2

Recommended Voice: 009 E.Piano, Jam mode: 1 Finger

Jam mode “1 Finger” is automatically selected (page 30).

This mode is ideal for playing backing in the same way as the “Backing” mode—except that it

adds harmonies to the notes played on the keyboard, so that you can play full backing parts with

even just one finger.

Playing backing along with the demo

To turn off the Jam function, press the [JAM] button repeatedly until the indicator goes off.

Tip

Watch the display during playback and you will see marks such as “C m7”

shown in sequence along with song playback. These indicate the chords

used in the song. Since the chords of a song constantly change, different

notes and chords will be produced even if you repeatedly play the same

keys in the Jam mode. (Depending on the chord succession, notes may not be changed.) Once

you get a feel for it, match your playing rhythm to that of the chord change timing shown in the

display, and add professional sounding backing to the song.

Just a single key produces two or more notes.

SHS-500 Owner’s Manual 37

Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication between devices within an area of about

10 meters (33 ft.) employing the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

Handling Bluetooth communications

• The 2.4 GHz band used by Bluetooth compatible devices is a radio band shared by many types of

equipment. While Bluetooth compatible devices use a technology minimizing the influence of other

components using the same radio band, such influence may reduce the speed or distance of

communications and in some cases interrupt communications.

• The speed of signal transfer and the distance at which communication is possible differs according

to the distance between the communicating devices, the presence of obstacles, radio wave

conditions and the type of equipment.

• Yamaha does not guarantee all wireless connections between this unit and devices compatible with

Bluetooth function.

For U.S.A.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or

transmitter.

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled

environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines. This equipment has

very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without testing of specific absorption

rate(SAR).
