Playing Music Data from a

Memory Card

You can play back SMF* data from a memory card loaded in the digital piano’s card slot for your listening enjoyment or sing along fun. For more information about using memory cards, see “Using a Memory Card” on page E-29.

*Standard MIDI File

SMF is a file format for storing MIDI data and other data used by a MIDI device to play back music. When music data is saved to a card in SMF format by a computer running commercially available music software, the data can be read and played by this digital piano.

IMPORTANT!

Before performing the procedure below, read “Using a Memory Card” on page E-29, and make sure you observe all precautions concerning use of the card slot and memory cards.

3 Press the PLAY/STOP button.

This starts playback of the tune you selected.

To stop playback, press the PLAY/STOP button again.

NOTE

If there is not enough memory available to perform the above operation, pressing the PLAY/STOP button will cause a data delete confirmation message to appear (Memory Full: Data Delete? No/Yes). Pressing the YES button will delete all of the data currently stored in the user area (No.30 to 39) of the Song Group. If you do not want to delete the user area data, press the NO button instead.

Practicing a Built-in Tune

You can turn off the left hand part or right hand part of a built-in tune, user song, or SMF data* and play along on the digital piano.

*With SMF data, the left-hand part is assigned to Channel 3, while the right-hand part is assigned to Channel 4.

Getting Ready

Select the tune you want to practice and adjust the tempo. If you are playing a tune for the first time, a slow tempo is probably best.

1Use the TRACK button to turn the parts on or off.

Each press of the TRACK button toggles its indicator lamp on (part turned on) and off (part turned off).

To practice the left hand part, the TRACK 1/L indicator lamp should be off.

To practice the right hand part, the TRACK 2/R indicator lamp should be off.

NOTE

With Song Group tunes (30 through 39), you cannot turn off the left hand part.

2 Press the PLAY/STOP button.

This starts playback of the tune, without the part you selected in step 1.

3

Play the missing part on the digital piano.
