KR-11 – Playing back a Composer song

8.2Playing back a Composer song

1.Press the [RESET] button to “rewind” to the begin- ning of the song.

By pressing [RESET], you will actually jump back to the first measure of the song, which is similar to using the SKIP function of a CD player.

2.Press the [PLAY] button.

The recorded performance will begin to play. If there is a particular passage you want to listen to, select its measure by pressing [FWD] and then press [PLAY]. Likewise, you could rewind to a previous measure by pressing [BWD] and start playback.

3.Playback stops automatically when the song is finished.

To stop while the performance is running, press the [STOP] or the [RESET] button.

Starting with a metronome count-in

By pressing the [PLAY] button while holding down the [STOP] button, you can have the song play back after two metronome count-in measures.

8.3Track Mute: Muting specific tracks

It is also possible to temporarily switch off (mute) cer- tain tracks. You can take advantage of this function when adding intricate (usually syncopated) parts to a complex accompaniment. Muting all distracting parts helps you concentrate on the task at hand.

You can also use the Track Mute function to switch off the part of a pre-recorded song you yourself would like to play (usually the melody). Playing to a Standard MIDI File or Composer song backing is called “Minus-One Play.” You can also record your Minus- One performance. Please refer to “Recording Minus- One performances” on page 32.

Press the button of the track you wish to mute (indi- cator goes off).

The track in question will no longer be played back. You can mute several tracks, if you like.

Press the track button once more to switch the track(s) on again.

8.4Playing back songs without tempo changes

Some songs on music data disks contain tempo changes. When you use these kinds of songs for Minus-One play or recording, you may find it difficult to follow the tempo changes. Here is how to ignore these tempo changes.

While holding down the Composer [STOP] button, press either the Tempo [+] or [–] button.

The tempo value will be highlighted on the display.

Note: If at this point you play back another song, or carry out the above step once again, the Composer will revert to the normal tempo and play back the song with tempo changes.

8.5 Erasing the Composer song

Here is how to erase an entire song in the KR-11’s internal memory. Before doing so, you should save songs you wish to keep to disk (see below).

1.Press the [SONG] button.

A message will be displayed, asking you to confirm whether you want to erase the song if you have not yet saved the song to disk.

2.If you want to erase the data, press <OK>.

To cancel the operation without erasing the song, press <Cancel>.

After the song has been erased, the Song Select screen will be displayed.

3.Press <U: User Song> at the upper left of the display.
