Play Along with Bass Solo
The useful Bass Solo function lets you isolate just the bass
part during playback and play along with it. Since this func-
tion mutes the other accompaniment parts, it lets you concen-
trate on mastering the important technique of ‘locking in’
with the bass and forming a tight rhythm section.
First, press the [SHIFT] + [SAVE/ENTER] buttons to call up
the Utility pages.
Next, press the [
>
] button three times to call up the follow-
ing page. Rotate the jog dial and select “
BassSolo=on
.”
With this set, press the [SONG
>
/
■
] button to start play-
back—only the bass part will be heard.
* You may find that with the drum part muted or the bass solo,
it may be a little difficult to keep time. In this case, use the
click along with the song. Using the click sound as a refer-
ence will make it easier to play along with the song.
Press the [
ON/OFF] button to have the click play in tempo
along with song playback. Press the [
ON/OFF] button
again to stop.
* Changing the song will normally change the drum kit to the
kit that is pre-assigned to the song.
If you want to use a different drum kit when playing along with
the song, press the [DRUM KIT] button to enter the Drum Kit
Select display, and then select another drum kit number.
If a different song is selected while Drum Mute is active, the
drum kit will not change when a different song is selected.
