Playback
To play back what you’ve recorded, first make sure that the green track indicators
of the tracks you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding track button(s) so
that they are lit. Then press the SONG [START/STOP] button. Playback starts from
the beginning of the recorded data, and will stop automatically at the end of the
recorded data. You can also stop playback at any time by pressing the SONG
[START/STOP] button.
To mute a track so that it doesn’t play back, press the corresponding track button
so that its indicator goes out (press again to turn the track back on).
The current measure number appears on the display during playback.
• It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback. In this case, the playback
voice and the voice you play on the keyboard are not the same. The playback voice is the
voice that was set when the data was recorded. The voice you play on the keyboard is the
voice that is selected on the panel.
• The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME] control
and [TEMPO/FUNCTION

] buttons (press both [TEMPO/FUNCTION
▼
,

] buttons
simultaneously to recall the default tempo).
• All user song recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the power
is turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods, turn the power on
for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store it to an external MIDI
storage device such as the Yamaha MIDI Data Filer MDF3 by using the Bulk Data Dump
function described on page 32.
• The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if the user
song recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so that the
corresponding green indicators light before starting recorder playback. It is also a good
idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data before recording. If the
green indicator lights when the corresponding track button is pressed, that track contains
data which will be erased and replaced by the newly-recorded data.
• If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will automatically stop
when playback is stopped.
• During recorder playback, the volume of a track which is turned off will always be “0” (i.e.
the “Preset Song Part Cancel Volume” function — page 29 — only affects preset song
playback.
• The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.
• Playback cannot be started when the demo/preset song mode is engaged.
• Playback cannot be started when the recorder contains no data, or when both track buttons
are off.
• If the REVERB type is changed via the panel controls during playback, both the playback
and keyboard reverb effects will be changed.
• If the EFFECT type is changed via the panel controls during playback, the playback effect
may be switched off in some cases.
When the Synchro Start function is engaged, recorder playback will begin auto-
matically as soon as you start playing on the keyboard.
To engage the Synchro Start function press the SONG [START/STOP] button
while holding a track button which is ON. The rightmost dot on the display will flash
at the current tempo. (Repeat the previous operation to disengage the Syncro Start
function.) Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on the keyboard.
If you hold a track button which is OFF while pressing the SONG [START/STOP]
button, that track will be turned ON and the Synchro Start mode will be engaged.

A footswitch connected to the SOFT jack can be assigned to start or stop recorder
playback using the “Soft Pedal Mode” function described on page 29. This is conve-
nient for starting playback of the recorded part anytime after you have started playing.
