Chapter 2 Playing Along with Rhythms

Playing Only the Bass Sound of the Chord Part

A Rhythm’s Chord Part not only contains its fundamental bass sound, but may also include the sound of instruments other than the bass. However, you can have just the bass sound of such Chord Parts play.

You can also change the settings while the Rhythm is being played.

This setting is effective for all Rhythms until the FP-3’s power is turned off.
