Melody memory
Store a tune of up to 100 notes, then play it back on its own or one key at a time.
The old memory trick: tap a tune into the instrument once, then let it play itself, or tap any one key and walk through it note by note.

AUTO- Plays the stored tune on a loop, one note per beat at the current tempo. Press it again to stop.
1KEY- Either blue key plays the next stored note, and holds it while you hold the key. After the last note it starts over.
MUSIC- Plays the built-in demo tune, an original melody written for PocketTone, on a loop. Press it again to stop.
While AUTO or MUSIC plays, the LCD says so and the keyboard is quiet. The rhythm can run underneath; the playback follows the same tempo.
The memory keeps notes, not timing, so a tune plays back evenly, one note per beat. Storing more notes adds them to the end of what is already there: to start a fresh tune, press DEL until the count is gone. The memory is kept when you quit, and RESET does not clear it.
The melody memory is part of PocketTone Pro. Without Pro, REC, MUSIC, AUTO and the 1KEY keys carry a small lock and open the unlock sheet.
