Using a Memory Card

Playing on the Keyboard Along with Playback of a Music File on a memory card

You can perform the following operations and play on the keyboard along with playback of a music file on a memory card.

•Select UPPER 1 part, UPPER 2 part, and LOWER part tones.

•Specify layer, split on/off, and the split point

The procedures for performing these operations are the same as those performed in the rhythm mode. For details about the operation, see “Layering and Splitting Tones” (page E-15).

You also can use the procedure below to easily assign the same tone as the right-hand part or left-hand part of the music file to the keyboard (UPPER 1 part tone) for manual play.

■To assign the same tone as the right-hand part or left-hand part of the music file to the keyboard

1.Perform the procedure under “Turning Off One Hand Part and Playing the Other Hand Part on the Keyboard (Part Off)” (page E-143) to turn off the part you want to play on the keyboard.

•This step is not required if you want to play along on the keyboard while playing back both hand parts.

2.While holding down the L-8 ([E] PIANO RHYTHMS) button, press the L-9 ([F] USER RHYTHMS) button.

•This assigns the tone of the part that is turned off to the UPPER 1 part.

•If both parts are on or off, the right-hand part of the music file is assigned to the UPPER 1 part.

3.This starts playback of the music file. Play the part you want on the keyboard.

4.When playback reaches the measure you want to specify as the repeat end point, press the L-13 (REPEAT) button.

•The ?indicator will stop flashing and repeat playback of the measures within the range you specified in steps 3 and 4 will start.

•The repeat range is from the beginning of the measure you specified in step 3 to the end of the measure you specified in step 4.

•If you do not specify an end point, the end of the song will be the end point.

5.To stop playback, press the L-17 (PLAY/STOP) button.
