■ Queuing the Next Playback Song
While a Song is playing back, you can queue up the next Song for playback. This is
convenient for chaining it to the next Song smoothly during stage performance.
Select the Song you want play next in the Song Selection display, while a Song is
playing back.
The “NEXT” indication appears at the upper right of the corresponding Song name.
To cancel this setting, press the [8
†
] (Cancel) button. When playing back a Song
and a Style at the same time, we recommend that you use the Preset Songs in the
“Sing-a-long” folder.
■ Using the Auto Accompaniment Features with the
Song Playback
When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, channels 9–16 in the Song
data are replaced with style channels—allowing you to play the accompaniment
parts of the Song yourself. Try playing chords along with the Song playback as
shown in the instructions below. When playing back a Song and a Style at the same
time, we recommend that you use the Preset Songs in the “Sing-a-long” folder.
1 Select a Song (page 34).
2 Select a Style (page 45).
3 Press the STYLE CONTROL [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn on the
Auto Accompaniment function.
4 Press the STYLE CONTROL [SYNC START] button to enable standby—
letting you simultaneously start the accompaniment as soon as you
start playing.
5 Press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start playback.
6 Play chords along with the Song.
The chord name is indicated in the Main display. To return to the Main dis-
play, press the [DIRECT ACCESS] button, then press the [EXIT] button.
When the Song playback is stopped, the style playback is also stopped at the same
time.
•Tempo for playing back a Song and a style at the same time
When playing back a Song and a Style at the same time, the tempo value set in
the Song is automatically used.
Parameter Lock
You can “lock” specific parame-
ters (e.g., effect, split point, etc.)
to make them selectable only via
the panel controls (page 122).
Playing Songs with the Quick Start function
With the default settings, the Quick Start function is turned on. On some com-
mercially available Song data, certain settings related to the Song (such as voice
selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the first measure, before the actual note
data. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” the instrument reads all initial non-note
data of the Song at the highest possible speed, then automatically slows down
to the appropriate tempo at the first note. This allows you to start playback as
quickly as possible, with a minimum pause for reading of data. When Quick
Start is set to “ON,” a Song is played back directly from the first note (which
may be in the middle of a measure). If you want to play from the beginning of
the measure that has silence prior to the first note, turn Quick Start “OFF.”
