Chapter 3 Song Playback and Practice Functions

Displaying the Score

The KR-7/5 can display scores not only for the internal songs, but for music files and performances recorded with the KR-7/5. This is very convenient for performing while reading the music and for checking songs that have been recorded. When you play back a music file with lyrics, the lyrics appear on screen.

Selecting the song

When playing back songs on floppy disks, first insert the floppy disk in the disk drive.

1. Press the [Select/Listen to a Song] button to select a song.

For details refer to “Playing a Song” (p. 69).

2. Press the [Score Display] button.

The “Score screen” appears.

The left pedal functions as the “Replay.” When you press the

 

pedal during the playback of the song, playback stops, and

 

when you release the pedal, playback resumes starting at the

 

beginning of that measure. When the pedal is pressed in rapid

succession, playback is returned the same number of

 

measures as the number of times the pedal is pressed.

 

In situations such as when you want to hear a difficult phrase

 

repeated a number of times, you can press the pedal to go to

 

an earlier point in the song.

 

 

 

In some internal songs, the fingering is displayed.

The fingering numbers shown in the screen indicate one possible fingering.

Chord names can be displayed in some of the internal songs and recorded performances using the KR-7/5’s Chord Sequencer (p. 124).
