If desired, you can make these songs play at a fixed tempo.

	song will play at a fixed tempo.

	contains.

If Tempo Mute is turned on, the tempo indication in the screen will be highlighted.

Changing the Parts Assigned to the Track Buttons During SMF Playback (Track Assign)

Ordinarily, when playing back SMF music files for Roland Piano Digital instruments (p. 83), the left-hand part is assigned to the [Left] button, and the right-hand part is assigned to the [Right] button. However, right-hand and left-hand part assignments in certain SMF music files may differ.

If these are set to “Auto,” and as a result you are unable to use the track buttons to control the left- and right-hand parts properly, change the setting to “2/1 Part” or “3/4 Part.”

*This setting can be used for SMF format songs other than the internal preset songs. It will not affect internal preset songs.

Setting	Description
	The part assigned to each track will be determined
	automatically, depending on the song file.
	Assigns Part 1 to the [Right] button, Part 2 to the
	[Left] button, and the remaining parts to the
	[Accomp] button.
	Assigns Part 4 to the [Right] button, Part 3 to the
	[Left] button, and the remaining parts to the
	[Accomp] button.

After changing this setting, try selecting the song once again.

Using the Sound of a Specific Part as a “Guide” (Mute Volume)

If desired, you can specify that the sound of a track will play at a reduced volume rather than going completely silent when you press a track button and turn off its indicator.

This setting lets you play a specific part at a reduced volume and use it as a “guide” for your playing.

Setting	Description
0 – 10	Increasing the value will make the sound louder.

When you turn off the power, the track mute volume will be reset to “0.”

Setting the Type of CD To be Played Back (CD/Audio Type)

The HP305/HP302 may be unable to correctly recognize the type of CD being used. In such instances, you can specify the type of CD manually.

Setting	Description
Auto
	The CD type is detected automatically
Type A
	General CDs for Player Piano contain audio and MIDI
	data, and the data format may vary from one CD to
	the next. If the CD’s data format does not match the
Type B	HP305/HP302’s settings, a “beep” will sound.
	Certain general Piano player CDs may not be
	playable on the HP305/HP302.
Stereo	Commercial Audio CD
	(CDs other than those designed for use with the
	player piano)

*Note that some commercial player piano CDs cannot be played back on the HP305/HP302.
