To play on the keyboard along with playback

NOTE

•The parts used for MIDI file playback (Song01 through Song16) are independent of the parts used for Digital Piano keyboard play (Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, Lower2). For more information, see “Sound Source Configuration” (page E-5). This means that playing on the keyboard does not interfere with proper MIDI file playback.

•You can select the tones for each zone you will play on the keyboard after entering the CARD PLAYER mode. For more information, see “To select a tone for each zone in the CARD PLAYER mode” (page E-44).
