The tempo indication in the screen will be highlighted.
2. To cancel tempo mute, once again hold down the [ ] (Play/Stop) button and press the [ ] [ ] (Slow/Fast) buttons.

Muting
You can “mute” a specic part so that it will not be heard.
* If you’ve selected a song that does not contain an
accompaniment, the [Accomp] button will not light even if
you press it.
1. Press the part button for the part that you don’t want to be played.
The light for the button you pressed will go out, and the selected part will not be heard.
MEMO
• If the accompaniment part is muted, playback will skip the introduction.
• The mute setting will be cancelled when you switch songs.
• Although the Part Mute function cannot be used with respect to the playback of an audio le, you can reduce the volume during playback of
sounds that are localized at the center of the sound eld, such as vocals or bass. Refer to “Center Cancel” (p. 38).
2. To un-mute the sound, press the part button once again so it’s lit.
Using the sound of a specic part as a “guide” (mute volume)
If desired, you can specify that the sound of a part will play at a reduced volume rather than going completely silent when you press a part button
and turn o its indicator.
This setting lets you play a specic part at a reduced volume and use it as a “guide” for your playing.
1. While holding down the part button, press the [–] [+] buttons.
