Using Mute/Solo with the Song and
Pattern tracks
Try this with the Demo Songs to hear how the tracks sound
both in isolation and in various combinations.

The corresponding track is set to mute (its lamp goes off) and
produces no sound. When pressing the same number button
again, the track mute is canceled (its lamp lights).
To turn Mute off, press the [MUTE] button again (the lamp
goes off).

Simultaneously hold down the [MUTE] button and press one
of the NUMBER buttons [1] to [16] to solo the corresponding

To cancel the Solo function, press the [MUTE] button again.
Selecting a Song/Pattern track and
playing the keyboard
You can play along with the Song or Pattern using the sound
of a track — for example, playing additional drum/percussion
sounds on a drum track while the Song plays. Press the
[TRACK SELECT] button so that its lamp lights, and select a
track by pressing the one of the NUMBER buttons [1] to [16].
If you want you can also mute a track and play the part of the

button and press the [G] (Reverse) button.
To assign Location 2, use the [H] (Forward) button.
