Playing Along With a Song

Song Part Mute Setting

The Mute function lets you turn on/off the rhythm (drum & percussion sound) part, bass part and other accompaniment part individually, or turn selected tracks on/off. For example, you could mute the rhythm part to play rhythms yourself using the pads, or you could play along with just the bass part sounding, or you could jam with an actual bass player with all other accompaniment parts enabled.

The Mute status can be confirmed by checking the tabs corresponding to the [SF1] – [SF3] buttons. A part name indication of “DRUM,” “BASS,” and “OTHER” in black characters means that the corresponding part is muted while a part name indication in white characters means that the corresponding part is turned on. Pressing these buttons toggles part playback on and off (Mute).

NOTE

•The Preset Songs consist of mul- tiple parts (MIDI channels) and have been recorded to a single track (Track 1). For details about the Song data structure (relation- ship between parts and tracks), see page 67.

•When no data is recorded to Track 1 or 2, the corresponding tab (“TR1” or “TR2”) is not shown in the display. When a Preset Song is selected, “TR2” is not shown in the display because no data is recorded to Track 2 for all the Pre- set Songs.

•Tracks TR1 and TR2 of an exter- nal Song (EXT: 01 – 99) saved to a USB storage device cannot be muted.
