Changing the Part That Makes the Keys Move

With the RG-7, you can set the part to which the keyboard’s movement is to be linked when the keyboard moves automatically along with a song.

SMF music files and other such songs are composed of 16 parts (channels), with various performances recorded to the different parts. For example, rhythm performances are often recorded to Part 10, while the right-hand keyboard performance is recorded to Part 4.

3.Press the [Moving Key] (Enter) button.
