Robert,

We have a Mark III upright so the console sits on top at chest level. 
With the remote, you can increase/decrease by percentage or resume 
back to original temp. You loop a segment/secton (see p.36 of basic 
manual). And of course, it has Play, Pause, Stop.

Looks like the remote seems is all you need.

most practical way to select, start, stop, and adjust the tempo and 
volume of recorded accompaniments.  That must have been Yamaha's 
intention for that thing.

Fortunately, it's not difficult to relocate the control box from its 
normal knee-bruising position.
