Functions for educational purposes

The EM-55 provides two functions that may come in handy for music teachers or for those who use the EM-55 in class:

Deactivating or activating the Demo function

The EM-55’s Demo function can be switched off so that pressing the [DEMO] button will have no effect at all. This may be useful in situations where the EM-55 is used in class. Here is how to deactivate the Demo function:

(1)Switch off the EM-55.

(2)Hold down the [DEMO] button while switching the EM-55 back on again. This setting is remembered, so that next time you want to listen to a demo song, you have to repeat the above procedure.

Deactivating the Arranger

Use the following procedure to ensure that the Arranger cannot be started or stopped:

(1)Switch off the EM-55.

(2)Hold down the [STYLE] button while you switch the EM-55 back on again.

It will now be impossible to start/stop the Arranger using the [START/STOP] button, or to use the SESSION PARTNER buttons (STYLE PAD & DJ PAD).

Repeat the above procedure when you want to use the Arranger again.

Deactivating both the Arranger and the Demo function

A third “educational” option is to switch off both the Demo and the Arranger functions in one go:

(1)Switch off the EM-55.

(2)Hold down the [START/STOP] button while you switch the EM-55 back on again.

It will now be impossible to start/stop the Arranger STYLE PAD, DJ PAD, or demo song playback.

Repeat the above procedure when you want to use the Arranger and Demo function again.

Initializing your EM-55 (Factory)

After working extensively with your EM-55, you may want to recall the original factory settings. Note that the Recorder song and User Program memories will be empty after initializing your EM-55.

Here is how to initialize your EM-55:

(1)Power off your EM-55.

(2)Hold down the [USER PROGRAM/WRITE] button while turning your EM-55 back on again.

The message “Factory!” will inform you that the EM-55 has been initialized.
