Playing back Songs
Playing a one-hand part – Part Cancel function (MIDI Songs)
You can practice the left hand part by playing back only the RIGHT part while
you can practice the right hand part by playing back only the LEFT part. Refer to
page 32 for instructions.
A-B Repeat function (MIDI Songs)
With this function, a specified range of the current Song can be played back
repeatedly. It is a good idea to use this function and the Part Cancel function
(above) for practicing difficult phrases. Refer to page 33 for instructions.
Starting playback automatically as soon as you play the
keyboard
In the special mode called “Sync Start,” pressing any note of the keyboard will
start Song playback.
To call up the Sync Start mode, press the [PLAY/PAUSE] button while holding
down the [STOP] button. The [PLAY/PAUSE] lamp will flash at the current
tempo. (Press the [STOP] button to disengage the Sync Start mode.)
Starting/Pausing playback by using a pedal
You can assign the Song Play/Pause function (equivalent to the [PLAY/PAUSE]
button) to the center or the left pedal in the Function mode (page 51). This is
convenient for starting or pausing playback when you are performing and can’t
take your hands from the keyboard.
Some MIDI Songs such as Preset Songs are divided into right hand and left hand parts. By using such Song
data, you can practice the left hand by turning on only the right hand part, and practice the right hand by
turning on only the left hand part—allowing you to practice parts separately for easy mastery of difficult
material.

Turn off the playback part you wish to practice.
Both the [RIGHT] and [LEFT] lamps light when the Song is selected. Turn
off the desired part (you want to practice). Pressing each button will switch
playback status between on and off.
