Chapter 3 Some Handy Features
Chapter 3
Preventing the Part to Be Practiced
from Sounding
With commercially available music files for piano lessons, you can play back
the part for each hand individually. Playing the internal song’s right-hand
part with your right hand, and the song’s left-hand part with your left hand
allow you to practice each hand’s part separately.
For instance, a music file for piano lessons may be assigned to the five Track
buttons as shown below.
fig.03-06.e
By using these Track Buttons, you can play back with the sound of a specific
part removed.
The removal of this specific part’s sound is referred to as “muting.”
By recording your own performances to the Track Buttons in this fashion,
you can mute the parts the same way.
1. Press the [Song/Disk] button to choose the song.
2. Touch <Track> to display the five Track buttons.
The 5 Track buttons screen appears.

mutes even while songs are being played.
4. Press the Play [ ] button to start playback.
No sound is played from the selected tracks. Practice along with the
playback of other Parts.

instrument, and you want
to mute out just one of
those instruments, take a
look at “Changing the
Settings of Each Part” (p.
