•If you press the MIC button during playback, the display changes to the MIC REVERB & EFFECT setting display.

•For SMF disks:

For “SMF with LYRICS” disks, by pressing the LYRICS button, the lyrics are shown on the display.

For a “minus one” performance, use the TRACK MUTE ∧, ∨ buttons to select the channel you wish to mute. Use the ON/OFF buttons and set the track you want to MUTE to ON. Following this, you can play a keyboard perfor- mance on the channel which was last set to MUTE.

•For DOC disks:

You can use the CH 1, CH 2 and ORC (other accompani- ment parts) buttons to set the respective parts to ON or OFF.

•For PIANO DISC playback:

You can use the CH 1 and ORCH (other accompaniment parts) buttons to set the respective parts to ON or OFF.

Even with a song having recorded tempo data, you can use TEMPO/PROGRAM or TAP TEMPO to adjust the tempo to your liking.

•When the tempo is changed, all the tempo data of that song is automatically changed by the same ratio. Accord- ingly, even in song data in which tempo change data is stored, a single adjustment of the tempo produces a nat- ural-sounding playback.
