Karaoke — other convenient controls and features
Changing the key to suit your voice
Press the [TRANSPOSE] button and use the dial or the
numeric keypad (buttons [0] - [9], [+]/[–]) to adjust the
transpose setting. This can be set in half steps, up to
one octave lower or higher (range: -12 - +12).
Changing the tempo of the song
Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button and use the dial or the
numeric keypad (buttons [0] - [9], [+]/[–]) to adjust the
tempo (range: 032 - 280 bpm).
For details, see page 20.
Adjusting the echo effect
Press the [MIC] button, then press the CATEGORY
[ ] button once to call up the Mic Echo page in the
FUNCTION display. Use the dial or the numeric key-
pad to change the setting (range: 000 - 127).
Using the fast forward, rewind and
pause controls
You can control the song just as you would on cassette
deck or CD player—using these familiar “transport”
buttons.
For details, see page 21.
Repeating sections of the song
This convenient practice feature lets you specify any
part of the song and repeatedly play it back.
For details, see page 56.
Playing the melody yourself
On the internal songs, Track 1 contains the right-hand
performance data while Track 2 contains the left.
You can cancel the melody part and practice/play it
yourself by muting both Tracks 1 and 2, by pressing the
[1] and [2] buttons in the SONG MEMORY section.
For details, see page 56.
Changing the instrument sound for
the melody
For internal songs, the melody is played with the instru-
ment sound (voice) that is set to Melody R (VOICE -
MELODY R).
To change this, press the [VOICE] button several times
so that MELODY R is highlighted in the VOICE row of
the display, then select the desired instrument sound.
Making fine adjustments to the micro-
phone volume
Call up the Mic Volume page in the FUNCTION dis-
play by pressing the [MIC] button.
This page determines the maximum volume for the
microphone—the highest level when the [MIC VOL-
UME] control is turned all the way up. By decreasing
this value, you can have more detailed control over the
level when using the [MIC VOLUME] control. This
setting is memorized even when the power is turned off.
