The instrument has powerful real-time audio processing functions. Audio playback has a vocal remover, tempo change,

and transpose functions that let you do karaoke and other create other possibilities for your live performance.

off at any time to restore normal audio playback.

off.

Note!

The actual result of the Vocal Remover depends on the type and quality of the audio files. If the file doesn’t

have a vocal track or is low resolution, this may result in unpredictable sound effects or human voice artifacts.

There are two ways to adjust the Audio Tempo in real time:

Press “Audio Tempo” in the audio player and adjust the audio tempo percentage by using the [DATA DIAL] ,

[</>] buttons, or using the touch screen.

The adjustment range is -30% ~ +30%.

• When the percentage is 0%, the audio is played at default tempo.

• When the percentage is negative, the audio is played at a rate slower than the original tempo.

• When the percentage is positive, the audio is played at a rate faster than the original tempo.

Press the “Audio Tempo” icon on the song display area in the main menu to adjust the audio tempo in real time.

Note!
