Singing with Song Playback—Operations While Performing
Song Position markers (SP1–SP4) can be placed in the MIDI Song data. These not only let you navigate quickly and easily
through the MIDI Song data, but also let you set up convenient playback loops—allowing you to create dynamic Song
arrangements “on the fly,” as you perform.
Entering Song Position Markers
1 Select the desired MIDI Song (page 68), and start playback
(page 70).
2 Enter the Song Position markers.
2-1
Touch (Song Position Memorize) to turn it on.
2-2 When the Song reaches the point at which you wish to enter a marker, touch
the desired marker number ([1]–[4]) on the display.
The corresponding Song Position marker is entered, and Song
Position Memorize is automatically turned off.
3 As desired, enter other markers in the same way as step 2.
4 Pause Song Playback (page 70).
5 Save the Song.
5-1
Touch the Song name to call up the Song Selection Display.
5-2 Save the Song file (page 33).
Jumping to a Song Position Marker during playback
Simply touching the one of the Song Position [1]–[4] during Song playback jumps to the corresponding position, after the
current played measure reaches its end. (The button will flash in red, indicating that playback jump is ready.) You can can-
cel the jump by touching the same Song Position again before the actual jump.
Starting playback from a specific Marker
First, touch one of Song Position [1]–[4] while Song playback is stopped, and then start playback (page 70).
Using Song Position Markers (MIDI Songs only)
The entered marker settings will
be lost if you change to another
Song or you turn the power off
without executing the Save oper-
ation.
