Roland KR111 Additional playback functions, Fast Forward, Rewind, and Reset

KR111 Digital Intelligent Piano

Playing back songs

Note: Please bear in mind that starting playback of the selected song on disk will erase the song in the USR memory. You may want to save the current song first (see p. 54).

(5)If necessary, change the song tempo with the Tempo [+][–]buttons.

Doing so, however, means that the tempo still changes if the song you are playing back contains tempo change messages. Furthermore, each time you jump to the beginning or another position of the song using [√¥Reset], [√√¥Bwd] or [Fwd¥®®], the pro- grammed song tempo is reset.

Note: In Song mode, the KR111 automatically selects the Piano mode. If you like, you can play along with the song (and even use the Layer or Lower part).

Note: In certain cases, the display may show the message XG Light or GM2 rather than a Tone name. Such a message means that the KR111 is using a Tone that cannot be selected via the front panel. Such “hidden” Tones ensure XG/GM2 playback compatibility.

MARKER A=120

(3)Do one of the following:

(4)Press the [Enter] button (the A icon appears in the bottom right corner of the display).

The number of the selected measure appears to the left of “MARKER”.

•Press [√¥Reset] to jump back to the first measure of the song. You need to stop playback before using the

[ôReset] button.

Note: In certain cases, [Fwd¥®®] and [√√¥Bwd] may not be available. This is only the case for very large songs, however.
