PERFORMING THE SELECTED SONG
After following the song selection procedure, tap out the rhythm of
the selected song on any one of the 88 black or white keys on your
piano keyboard.
As you tap harder, the notes will get louder; as you tap softer, the notes
will get quieter. As you tap faster, the notes speed up; as you tap slower,
they will slow down correspondingly.
When performing fast songs on Concert Magic, it is sometimes easier to
tap two different keys with two fingers alternating. This allows you to
play twice as fast as you can using only one finger on one key.
Adjust the relative volume of the melody notes and accompaniment notes
with the DUAL BALANCE slider.
CONCERT MAGIC SONG ARRANGEMENT TYPES
There are two playing modes in Concert Magic. They are Normal (C-1)
and Steady Beat (C-2). To change the mode, press and hold the CONCERT
MAGIC button. The LED display will show the current mode. Use the
VALUE buttons to change the mode.
NORMAL (C-1)
Each of the 88 Concert Magic songs is arranged in one of three types.
EASY BEAT
These are the easiest songs to play. To perform them, simply tap out a
constant steady beat on any key on your piano keyboard.
MELODY PLAY
These songs are also quite easy to play, especially if they are familiar to
you. To perform them, tap out the rhythm of the melody on any one of
the keys on your piano keyboard. Singing along as you tap the rhythm
can be helpful.
SKILLFUL
These songs range in difficulty from moderately difficult to difficult. To
perform them, tap out the rhythm of both the melody and the
accompaniment notes on any of the keys on your piano keyboard. It may
require some practice to successfully play these selections. Even skilled
players will enjoy the challenge of the skillful pieces. Try listening to
these songs first, and then try to tap out the rhythms that you hear.
