Press [STOP].

STOP

Playback stops and the song returns to the beginning.

Pressing [STOP] while in Pause mode cancels Pause mode.

Note: Unlike regular MIDI song playback, the following restrictions apply to the CD playback function.

You cannot change the playback tempo of songs on CDs.

You cannot hear the MIDI sound during fast forward or reverse of the sound. When the normal playback mode has been established, the MIDI sound is simultaneously played back properly as well.

During PianoSmart playback, the sound is played back with the CD pitch adjusted to the pitch of the live piano (TG Master Tune value). The CD pitch is automatically adjusted to the pitch of the live piano, and the CD playback is heard as monaural sound.

See “Tuning the Tone Generator (TG Master Tune)” on page 39.
