Playing Along with the Internal Songs
Here’s how you can play along with the internal songs.
You can slow down the playback tempo of the song, or play back each hand separately.
Before you try playing the song, listen to it several times to get a general feel for the
song.
For details on operation, refer to “Selecting a Song and Playing It” (p. 10).
Changing the Tempo
If the song has a rapid tempo, you can slow down the tempo so that you can practice
it more easily. It is effective to gradually raise the tempo as you practice.

The tempo appears in the display.
Each time you press the [SONG/TEMPO] button, the tempo and the currently

Press the [+] or [-] button to adjust the tempo.
The tempo can be adjusted in a range of =20–250.
You can also change the tempo during playback.
Pressing the [+] button once increases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the
button increases the tempo continuously.
Pressing the [-] button once decreases the tempo by one unit. Holding down the
button makes the tempo change (slow down) continuously.
If you press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously, you will return to the basic tempo
of the song (the tempo before you modified it).

Adding a Count-in to Match the Timing (Count-In)
When you’re playing along with a song, you can make sure that your playing is in
time with the song by sounding a count before the song starts playing.
Sounding a “count sound” leading up to playback of a song is called “Count-In.”
On the MP-60, if you playback a song while the metronome is sounding, two
measures of lead-in count will be heard at the beginning of the song.
If you turn on the metronome
while the song plays back, the
metronome will sound at the
b
eat and tempo of the song.
