When you press the [SONG] button, the current song number appears
in the display.
Use the DIAL to select a song number. Song numbers will increase as
the DIAL is turned to the right (clockwise), and decrease as the DIAL
is turned to the left (counter-clockwise). (See the “Song List” on page
35.)
Song number “ 00” is automatically selected whenever the power is
turned ON.
With the Auto Kit Select feature turned on, selecting a song will also auto-
matically select the best suited Drum Kit for that song. (See “Auto Kit
Select ON/OFF Setting” on page 16.)
Song numbers are arranged in each category according to their complex-
ity. Smaller numbers are easier to play than larger numbers.
When you press the [START/STOP] button, a one- or two-measure
count-in plays, and the song starts playing.
As the song is playing, the Song’s current measure will be shown in
the display. Try playing the pads and pedals along with the song.
To stop playback of the song, press the [START/STOP] button once
again.
You can also use the TAP START function to start songs (see page 16).
