Players and Sequencer Controls

each with its own set of transport controls. The Player 1 group is
also used for the Sequencer mode.
SELECT
Press this button to open the Song Select window and choose a
Song. This is the same as touching the Song name in the display.
<< and >>
Rewind and Fast Forward commands. If you use them while the
Song is in play, they make it scroll back or forward.
When pressed once, these buttons move the Song to the previous
or following measure (with a Standard MIDI File) or to the previ-
ous or next second (with an MP3 file). When kept pressed, they
make the Song scroll continuously, until you release them.
In Sequencer mode, if you set a “Start from” measure other than
1, when pressing the << button the Song rewinds up to that mea-
sure instead of the first one (see “Start from” on page 182).
In Jukebox mode (Player 1), keep the SHIFT button
pressed, and press these buttons to scroll to the previous or next
Song in the Jukebox list (see “Jukebox Editor” on page 179).
(HOME)
Sends the Song Position back to the beginning of the Song.
In Sequencer mode, if you set a “Start from” measure other than
1, the Song Position goes back to that measure (see “Start from”
on page 182).
(PLAY/STOP)
Starts or stops the Song from the current Song Position.
In Song Play mode, pressed while keeping SHIFT
pressed, starts both players at the same time.
X-FADER
In Song Play mode, this slider bal-
ances the volume of the two on-
board Players. When fully on the left,
only Player 1 can be heard. When
fully on the right, only Player 2 can be heard. When in the mid-
dle, both Players play at full volume.
This slider also selects the Lyrics, Score and Markers from one of
the Players.
