Playback Operations exclusively for MIDI Song

Synchro Start
You can conveniently start playback of a MIDI Song as soon as you start playing the keyboard. Touching (Synchro
start) puts Synchro Start in standby status, regardless of whether the Song is currently playing or stopped. To cancel the
Synchro Start function, repeat the same operation.

Playback Using Song Position Markers ([M], [1]–[4], [Loop])
Using Song Position markers, you can not only navigate quickly and easily through the MIDI Song data, but also set up
convenient playback loops, for ease in song arranging. For details, refer to “Using Song Position Markers” (page 81).
Moving the Song Playback Position (Song Position pop-up window)
When you press or hold the [PREV] or [NEXT] button, a setting dis-
play appears showing the current position of the Song. When the win-
dow is shown on the display, you can also use the Data dial to move
backward/forward continuously through the current file.
The Phrase Mark number appears only when a MIDI Song containing
Phrase Marks is selected. You can select whether the Song playback
position moves backward or forward in Bar or Phrase Mark units by
touching the setting display beforehand.
