Playing Along with a

Prerecorded Tune

Follow these steps to have the keyboard not play the melody of a prerecorded tune, so you can!

1.Select and enter the number of the tune you want to play.

2.Press ON/OFF RIGHT to turn off the melody. Press ON/OFF LEFT to turn off the accompaniment.

Notes:

Tunes 70 to 99 are piano solo tunes. You can turn off either the right-hand or left-hand portion, but not both.

If you select tunes 00 through 69 and turn off both the melody and accompaniment, the keyboard plays an obliggato (a simple background accompaniment).

3.Press PLAY/PAUSE to start play.

4.Adjust the tempo and volume as desired.

5.Play along with the tune on the key- board.

Note: You can turn the melody on or off by repeating Step 2 even while the current tune is playing.

6.The tune you selected plays contin- uously until you press STOP. To temporarily stop the tune, press PLAY/PAUSE again. To stop the tune completely, press STOP.

Turning Applause Off/On

When you turn off either the melody or the accompaniment and then play a tune, applause automatically sounds at the end of the tune. To turn off the ap- plause, hold down STOP and press ei- ther ON/ OFF LEFT or ON/OFF RIGHT. Apls=Off appears. To turn the ap- plause on again, press the same but- tons. Apls=On appears.

Consecutively Playing Back the Tunes

To have the keyboard play all 100 prere- corded tunes consecutively, press either TONE or RHYTHM, then press PLAY/ PAUSE. The keyboard plays the tunes in sequence starting with Tune 00.

To stop consecutive playback, press STOP or START/STOP.

USING THE PRESET TONES

Your keyboard can sound like 100 differ- ent musical instruments or sound ef- fects. The name and two-digit number for each preset tone is listed on the 100 TONES list on the keyboard’s top panel.
