To play back what you've recorded, first make sure that the green track
indicators
of
the tracks you want to play are lit.
If
not, press the corresponding
track button(s) so that they are lit. Then press the RECORDER [START!
STOP]
button. Playback starts from the beginning
of
the recorded data, and
will stop automatically at the end
of
the recorded data.
You
can also stop
playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button.
To
mute a track so that it doesn't play back, press the corresponding track
button so that its indicator goes out (press again to
tum
the track back on).
The
current measure number appears on the display during playback.
n~rNOTfJ
. It
is
possible
to
play along on the keyboard during playback. In this case, the
playback voice and the voice you
play
on the keyboard are not the same. The
playback voice
is the voice that was
set
when the data was recorded. The voice
you
play
on the keyboard is the voice that is selected on the panel.
• The playback volume
and
tempo can be adjusted
by
using the [MASTER VOL-
UME] control
and
[TEMPO
~/,A]
buttons (press both [TEMPO
~/,A]
buttons
simultaneously
to
recall the default tempo).
•
All
recorder data will
be
retained in memory for about one week after the power is
turned off.
If
you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods, tum the power
on for
a few minutes
at
least once a week. It is also possible
to
store
it
to
an
external MIDI storage device such
as the
Yamaha
MIDI Data Filer MDF3
by
using
the Bulk Data Dump function described on page 36.
• The track indicators
wilJ
not light automatically when the
power
is turned on even
if
the recorder contains data.
It
is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so
that the corresponding green indicators light before starting RECORDER playback.
It
is also a
good
idea to press the track buttons
to
check
if
the tracks contain data
before recording.
If
the green indicator lights when the corresponding track button
is pressed, that track contains data which will
be
erased
and
replaced
by
the
newly-recorded data.
• If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will automatically
stop when playback
is stopped.
• During recorder playback, the volume
of
a track which
is
turned
off
will always
be
"0" (i.e. the "Piano Song Part Cancel Volume" function -
page
33
only affects
piano song playback.
• The playback data
is
not
transmitted
via
the MIDI
OUT
connector.
• Playback cannot be started when the demo/piano song mode
is engaged.
• Playback cannot be started when the recorder contains no data,
or
when both track
buttons are off.
• When using REVERB
or
EFFECT during playback, depending upon the conditions
one reverb type
and
one effect type will take priority.

When the Synchro Start function is engaged, recorder playback will begin
automatically as soon as you start playing on the keyboard.
To engage the Synchro Start function press the [START/STOP] button
while holding a track button which is ON.
The
rightmost dot on the display will
flash at the current tempo. (Repeat the previous operation to disengage the
Syncro Start function.) Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing on
the keyboard.
If
you hold a track button which
is
OFF while pressing the [START/STOP]
button, that track will be turned ON and the Synchro Start mode will
be
engaged.
