Song Settings

Muting Independent Song Parts

Each “track” of a song plays a different part of the song—melody, percussion, accompaniment, etc. You can mute individual tracks and play the muted part on the keyboard yourself, or simply mute tracks other than the ones you want to listen to. Use the SONG MEMORY [1]–[5] and [A] buttons to mute or un-mute the corresponding tracks. The border around the track number in the display dis- appears when that track is muted.

Refer to page 56 for information about the song track conﬁguration.

No track number ... no data.

Track number without border

... track contains data but is muted.

Track number with border ... track contains data and is not muted.

Change the Melody Voice

You can change a song’s melody voice to any other voice you prefer.

NOTE

• You cannot change the melody voice of a user song.

Press the lesson [L] and [R] buttons simul- taneously so that “LR” appears in the upper right corner of the MAIN display. Select the song and play it.

1 Press the [VOICE] button for longer than a second.

The VOICE SELECT (MELODY R or MEL- ODY L) display will appear so you can select the Melody R or Melody L voice. Pressing the [VOICE] button alternates between VOICE SELECT MELODY R and MELODY L.

2 Use the dial to select the voice.

As you select different melody voices, only the melody voice changes while the song will remain the same.

Hold for longer than a second
