Guide menu for keyboard practice
• Follow Lights: When this is selected, Song playback pauses, waiting for you to play the
notes correctly. When you play the correct notes, Song playback continues. Follow
Lights was developed for the Yamaha Clavinova series. This function is used for practic-
ing purposes, with built-in lamps on the keyboard indicating the notes to be played. Even
though Genos does not have these lamps, you can use the same function by following the
indications in the displayed notation with the Song Score function.
• Any Key: With this function, you can play the melody of a Song just by pressing a single
key (any key is OK) in time with the rhythm. Song playback pauses and waits for you to
play any key. Simply play a key on the keyboard in time with the music and Song play-
back continues.
• You r Te mp o: The same as Follow Lights, except that Song playback matches the speed at
which you play.
Guide menu for singing
• Karao-Key: This function lets you control the Song playback timing with just one finger,
while you sing along. This is useful for singing to your own performance. Song playback
pauses, waiting for you to sing. Simply play any key on the keyboard (playing the key-
board produces no sound) and Song playback continues.
