About the Minus One Function
Minus One, as its name implies, takes away the
melody part of the Song, allowing you to play that
part yourself. You can turn Minus One on before
starting a Song, or do it even while a Song is playing.
To help you play the “missing” melody, scores for
all Songs have been provided; see pages 13-22.
To use the Minus One function with the selected
Song, press the MINUS ONE button (either before
starting the Song or while it is playing). (The LED next
to the button lights.)
One Touch Setting in the Song Mode
The One Touch Setting function works with the
Minus One function and automatically selects an
appropriate Voice for playing the melody along with
the Song you select. Though the Minus One function
is not used with the Jam Track patterns, One Touch
Setting works the same way with Jam Track, auto-
matically selecting an appropriate Voice.
To turn on the One Touch Setting function, press the
ONE TOUCH SETTING button. (The LED next to the
button lights.)
To turn the function off, press the button again.
If playback is not stopped, all Songs play back
repeatedly in succession, indefinitely. (However, if
Minus One is on, only the selected Song repeatedly
plays back.) If a Jam Track pattern is selected, only
the selected pattern repeats indefinitely.
