Playing back Songs
This section introduces additional playback functions useful for practice and playing.
Playing a one-hand part — Part Cancel function (MIDI
Songs)
You can practice the left hand part by playing back only the RIGHT part while
you can practice the right hand part by playing back only the LEFT part. Refer to
page 31 for the instructions.
Repeat function (MIDI Songs)
With this function, a single entire Song or a specified range of the current Song
can be played back repeatedly. It is a good idea to use this function and the Part
Cancel function (above) for practicing difficult phrases. Refer to page 32 for
instructions.
Starting playback automatically as soon as you play the
keyboard
In the special mode called “Sync Start,” pressing any note of the keyboard will
start Song playback. To call up the Sync Start mode, select a song and then press
the [PLAY/PAUSE] button while holding down the [STOP] button. The [PLAY/
PAUSE] lamp will flash at the current tempo. (Press the [STOP] button to
disengage the Sync Start mode.)
Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing the keyboard.
Starting/pausing playback by using a pedal
You can assign the Song Play/Pause function (equivalent to the [PLAY/PAUSE]
button) to the center or the left pedal in the Function mode (page 70). This is
convenient for starting or pausing playback when you are performing and can’t
take your hands from the keyboard.
