Practicing a One-Hand Part Using the 50 Preset Songs
(Part Cancel Function)
The 50 preset songs have separate left- and right-hand parts on individual parts. You can turn the
left- and right-hand parts on or off as required so you can practice the corresponding part (the part
that is turned off) on the keyboard. The right-hand part is played by [RIGHT] and the left-hand part
is played by [LEFT].
1. Turn off the playback part you wish to practice.
After you select a song to practice, press the [RIGHT] or [LEFT] button to turn
off the corresponding part.
When you first select a song, both [RIGHT] and [LEFT] indicators light up, indi-
cating that you can play back both parts. When you press one of the buttons to
turn off playback, the corresponding button indicator turns off and the corre-
sponding part playback is muted.
Pressing the buttons repeatedly toggles playback between on and off. The parts
can be turned on or off even during playback.
2. Press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start playback
and playing.
Play the part you just turned off.
Starting playback automatically
as you start playing the keyboard (Sync Start)
You can cause playback to begin when you play the keyboard (Sync Start). Hold
down the [STOP] button and press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button. The [PLAY/
PAUSE]
indicator will blink, and the instrument will wait for Sync Start. Now
when you play the keyboard, playback will begin at the same moment. If you
press the [STOP] button while waiting, Sync Start will be cancelled.
Pedal Play/Pause
A pedal connected to the
[AUX PEDAL] connector can be assigned to play and
pause preset song playback via the AUX Pedal function described on pages 39,
43.
3. Stop playback.
When playback is complete, it automatically stops and the instrument locates
the top of the song. If you wish to stop playback in the middle of a song, press
the [STOP] button. You can also pause playback by pressing the [PLAY/PAUSE]
button.
