I would like to find out more about the Playcard System that is with the Yamaha PortaSound pc100 keyboard as we recently were given one but it doesn't have any instructions on how to use the Playcard part. Thanks
take the card which has music notes and lyrics printed on side facing you and a magnetic strip on the back side of card. Take the card with the lyrics facing you,line the left side of card up with triangle symbol near right edge of slot on
keyboard.Slide gently but firmly without hesitation from right to left as if you were using an open slot style atm machine.You can leave the card "music stand" style sitting in the free part of the slot so you can see it and sing along.After sliding the card,go to the upper left of the keyboard panel to the grouping of (5?) buttons for the card system and hit play. If you are successfull you will see SYNCRO START light blink and music will play. You can control ARPEGIATOR VOLUME AND TEMPO as well as switch instrument sounds.MAKE SURE you have all volumes and tempo slider to the middle position to start.Cards in bad shape/mildew,bent may not play right.

You can use instead of "play" button the "free tempo" one. If you do that, it will play the rithm, but you will be able to play the song following the lights ;) it's nice to see your children trying to follow a song

None equal by: Miles
I have never been able to find a product equal to this key board. Current key board have songs built into the firmware, this product had the play card to enter any song written to the play cards. I would buy a modern product if it was available and had a sound that was as good. Currently I can not find any new play cards, I wish they were available.
