Enjoying karaoke with audio songs
(Center Cancel)
As stated earlier, the JM-8 can play back audio (WAV or
mp3) files and Standard MIDI Files. You can minimize
the vocal sounds of an audio file and sing the vocal part
(or play the solo guitar part) yourself. This is a conve-
nient way to enjoy karaoke or practice soloing.
Note: The function described here is available for all files with
the “WAV” or “mp3” icon on any of the supported storage
devices and commercially available audio CDs. It can also be
used for the signal source you connect to the AUDIO IN sock-
ets.
(1) Select the storage device and the audio song (WAV
or mp3) you want to sing or play.
If you want to play back a song from an audio CD or
a USB storage device, insert the CD into the CD drive
(see p. 24) or connect your USB memory to the
EXTERNAL MEMORY port (see p. 25).
Note: You can also use a commercially available audio CD
that you insert into the JM-8’s internal drive.
If you want to sing along with a song from an exter-
nal DVD player or a portable audio player, connect
your external player to the AUDIO IN sockets (see
p. 26).
(2) Press the [MELODY MUTE/CENTER CANCEL] button
(it lights).
The Center Cancel function is active.
(3) Press the [
®÷ π
] button to play the song.
The sound of the melody or vocal will be minimized.
(4) Sing along with the song.
Note: For some songs, the vocal sound may not be elimi-
nated completely.
(5) Press the [
ª
] button to stop playback and return to
the beginning of the song.
(6) To turn off the “Center Cancel” function, press the
[MELODY MUTE] button again (it goes dark).
Note: The “Center Cancel’ function is switched off each
time you stop recording (see p. 37).
