Playing Back and Recording Songs
Playback operations
Playback continues even when you change the menu (VOICE/SONG/UTILITY) while a Song is playing. Only when
SONG is selected, the following operations are available during playback.
• Pause
Press Button 3 [R/K] (Play/Pause) to pause playback. The playback position shown in the display also pauses and the
[R/K] (Play/Pause) lamp flashes. Pressing the button again resumes Song playback from the current position.
• Stop
Press Button 1 [Select] to stop playback. When the end of the current Song is reached, playback stops automatically.
When the Song is played back next time by pressing Button 3 [R/K] (Play/Pause), it starts from the beginning.
• Fast forward/Rewind
Rotate the [VALUE] control to the left to rewind, and to the right to fast forward. MIDI Songs are moved one
measure back or forward, while Audio Songs are moved in one-second increments.
NOTE
Fast forward and rewind operations are not available for Voice Demo Songs.
• Returning to the Song top
Press the [VALUE] control to jump to the top of the Song.
NOTE
During playback of a Voice Demo Song, this operation selects Voice Demo Song “d.01.”
• Adjusting the playback tempo
You can change the tempo of a MIDI Song or the speed of an Audio Song during playback. It can be adjusted with the
same operation as metronome tempo. For details, refer to page 39.
MIDI Songs:
The tempo can be adjusted from 5 to 500 beats per minutes. It can also be adjusted while the
Song is paused. When the Song stops, it is reset to the default setting.
Audio Songs:
Compared to an original speed of 100%, tempo can be adjusted over a range of 75%–125%.
The setting value is maintained until another Song is selected.
NOTE
• For MIDI Songs having tempo changes in the middle of the Song, changing the tempo relatively alters the entire tempo. For example,
in a Song that is set to a tempo of 100 at the start and changes midway during the Song to 120, changing the starting tempo to 110
(10% faster) will result in a midway tempo of 132 (10% faster).
• When the MIDI Song tempo is changed, the metronome tempo is also changed to the same tempo. The Audio Song speed does not
affect the metronome tempo.
• While an Audio Song is paused and the metronome is played back, this operation changes only the metronome tempo and the Audio
Song speed does not change.
