5–Practicing Music with this Unit
Tune instruments
You can tune instruments by using the tuner func-
tions of this unit. In addition to tuning by watching
the tuning meter on the unit while inputting a
sound, the unit can also output a tuning tone,
allowing multiple musicians to tune at the same
time. (See “15–Using the Tuner” on page 77.)
Use effects
Using this unit’s built-in effects, you can apply
reverb and other effects to the input signal or the
playback signal. To apply it to the input signal, set
the
SOURCE
item on the Effect Screen to
INPUT
.
(See “14-Using the Effects” on page 74.)
Learn musical phrases
You can learn a fast phrase more easily by using
the speed and VSA functions, which are two of this
unit’s playback control functions.
Use the speed function to reduce the speed. If you
also turn the VSA function ON, the pitch stays the
same as you reduce the speed. (See “Changing the
speed” and “Changing speed without changing
pitch” on page 67.)
Play along with the rhythm
machine
This unit has a built-in rhythm machine with 88
rhythm pattern presets. You can set the tempo and
count-in. (See “16–Using the Rhythm Machine” on
page 80.)
Use a metronome
This unit’s rhythm machine has preset patterns
(
COUNT1
–
COUNT9
) that can be used as a
metronome. (See “Setting the rhythm machine”
on page 83.)
