Playing a Built-in Tune

627U-E-026A

NOTE

• Pressing both the [

] and [

] TEMPO buttons at the

same time returns the tempo setting to the preset value
for the currently selected tune.

• The tunes 81 through 99 are arranged so their tempos

change part way through the tunes. If you use the above
procedure to change the tempo setting while one of these
tunes is playing, however, the tempo you set is used for
the entire tune without any change part way through.

Changing the Tone of a Tune’s
Melody

You can select any one of the keyboard’s 100 tones to be used
to play the melody part of a tune. The tone setting can be
changed while the tune is stopped or playing back.

1

While a song is playing back, press the TONE
button.

2

Find the tone you want in the Tone List, and then
use the number buttons or the [+] and [–] buttons
to specify the tone number.

Example

: To select “30 VIOLIN”, input 3 and then 0.

NOTE

• Pressing both the [+] and [–] buttons at the same time

selects “00 PIANO 1”.

• With two-hand tunes (81 to 99), you can select tones

for both the left hand part and right hand part.

• To return a tune to its original settings, simply select

that tune again.

Playing Along with a Tune

Each tune has a left-hand (accompaniment) part and a right-
hand (melody) part. You can turn off the left-hand part or
right-hand part of a tune and play along with the remaining
part on the keyboard.

To play along with a tune

1

Perform steps 1 through 4 under “To play back a
tune” on page E-22 to select the song you want to
play along with.

2

Press the RIGHT ON/OFF or LEFT ON/OFF button
for the part you want to turn off.

• Press the RIGHT ON/OFF button to turn off the right

hand (melody) part, or the LEFT ON/OFF button to
turn off the left hand (accompaniment) part.

• The on/off status of each part is indicated by letters

(L and R) that appear inside the hand graphics on the
display. A part is turned on when its letter is
displayed, and turned off when its letter is not
displayed.
