Selecting and Playing Songs

54

The convenient A-B Repeat function is an ideal aid for practicing and learning. It

allows you to specify a phrase of a song (between point A and point B) and repeat

it — while you play or practice along with it.

1While playing a song, set point A (the start point).

During playback, press the [A-B REPEAT] button once, at the beginning

point to be repeated.

2Set point B (the end point).

As the song continues playing, press the [A-B REPEAT] button once again,

at the ending point to be repeated. The selected phrase repeats indeﬁnitely

until stopped.

3Pause or stop playback as needed.

Use the [PAUSE] button or [START/STOP] button. Stopping playback does

not cancel the set A/B points or the A-B Repeat function.

4Turn off the A-B Repeat function.

Press the [A-B REPEAT] button.

• The A and B points can only be

speciﬁed at the beginning of a

measure (beat 1), and not at any

point in the middle of a measure.

• To set the A point to the begin-

ning of a song, press the [A-B

REPEAT] button before starting

playback.

• If you’re repeat practicing a par-

ticularly difﬁcult section, try slow-

ing down the Tempo to an

appropriate speed to make it eas

-

ier to play and master the part.

You may also want to slow down

the Tempo while setting the A

and B points; this makes it easier

to accurately set the points.

• You can also set the A-B Repeat

function when the song is

stopped. Simply use the [REW

r

] and [FF

f

] buttons to select

the desired measures, pressing

the [A-B REPEAT] button for

each point, then start playback.
