A Song consists of 16 separate parts (16 separate channels). You can independently turn each channel of the
selected Song playback on or off.
1 Press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button several times to call up
the Channel On/Off (Song) display.
2 Use the [1 ] – [8 ] buttons to turn each channel on or off.
If you want to play back only one particular channel (solo playback), hold down
one of the [1 ] – [8 ] buttons to set the desired channel to Solo. Only
the selected channel is turned on and others are off. To cancel solo playback,
press the same button again.
3 Press the [EXIT] button to close the Channel On/Off (Song)
display.
You can mute the right-hand part for practicing that part on your own. The explanations here apply when you
practice the right-hand part with “Follow Lights” of the Guide functions. You can also practice at your own pace —
since the accompaniment waits for you to play the notes correctly. In the Score display, you can see the note to play
and the current position.
1 Select a Song and call up the Score display (page 63).
2 Press the [SONG FUNCTION] button to call up the Song
Function Menu display.
3 Use the [6
] (Guide) buttons to turn the Guide function on.
4 Press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button several times to call up
the Channel On/Off (Song) display.
5 Press the [1 ] button to turn Channel 1 (RIGHT 1 part) off.
If necessary, press the [3 ] button to turn the Channel 3 (RIGHT 2 part) off.
You can now play that part by yourself.

NOTE
Each part of a MIDI song can be
recorded with a different channel num-
ber (Ch. 1 – Ch. 16). Because of this
format, the performance information of
each part remains separate and is not
mixed — even though all parts will be
saved as one track. This channel num-
ber is referred to as “MIDI Channel.”
