Playback
You can play back your recorded performance by simply
pressing the PLAY button. Registrations and other data
will be recalled to the Electone.
(1) To play back a song:
1
Select the number of the song you wish to play back
by using the SONG SELECT buttons.
2
Press the PLAY button.
The PLAY lamp lights up and small bars move across
the display, indicating that the M.D.R. is resetting
registrations on the Electone.
3
Playback of the song begins after the Electone data
is reset and the song time is shown on the M.D.R.’s
display.
Playback automatically stops at the end of a song.
You can, however, stop playback in the middle of a
song by pressing the STOP button.
If you have recorded the lead part separately:
Turn on the Lead part for playback by holding
down the SHIFT button and simultaneously
pressing the appropriate button in the PLAY
section (as shown in the illustration on the right).
(2) To play back the selected part(s):
You can also play back the selected parts of your recorded
performance, while other parts are temporarily turned off. This
function is especially useful for playing a single part, such as the
melody, over previously recorded accompaniment parts.
To select specific parts for playback:
1
Select the number of the song to be played back.
2
Set the parts you wish to mute to OFF, by pressing
the appropriate PLAY button. The LED of the
selected part should be off.
Make sure to turn on the parts you wish to play back.
3
Press the PLAY button.
First the registration and other data are read, then
playback of the performance starts (excepting the
parts that were turned off in step #2).
4
Now perform your new part or parts over the playback parts.
When the end of the recorded performance is reached,
playback is automatically stopped and the STOP
status is resumed.
Never turn off the power switch when a floppy disk is
still engaged in the M.D.R. disk drive slot. Also do not
press the Eject button during recording or playback.
