Song track structure
The various parts of the songs are divided into different tracks, each playing a separate part of the performance—melody,
percussion, accompaniment, etc.
You can mute the part on an individual track and play that part by yourself, or single out certain tracks that you want to
listen to.
To turn a track on or off, use the buttons in the SONG MEMORY section: [1] – [5], [A].
Playback of the track is muted when the track is set to off, and the box around the track number goes out.
Song tracks are organized as follows.
• Tracks [1] – [5] ............Track 1 contains the melody of the right hand performance (MEL-
ODY R), and Track 2 contains the melody of the left hand perfor-
mance (MELODY L). Tracks 3 – 5 contain a variety of backing parts,
depending on the selected song.
• Track [A]......................Contains the accompaniment part.
AB
The repeat function can be set only
at measure boundaries. A repeat
cannot be started or ended in the
middle of a measure.
If you want to have the beginning
of the song as the start point (A) for
the repeat, press the [ ]
button BEFORE starting the song.
