Singing with a microphone

Changing the tempo of the song

Thanks to the included microphone, you can easily sing and play at the same time.

To adjust the level of the microphone, use the [MIC VOLUME] control and the [MASTER VOLUME] con- trol.

An echo effect is applied to your voice, and this can also be adjusted. First, press the [MIC] button, then the CATEGORY [f ] button. From the FUNCTION dis- play, change the Mic Echo page (range: 000 - 127) by using the dial or the numeric keypad (buttons [0] - [9], [+]/[–]). (See page 39.)

Hold the microphone in your left hand and play the keyboard with your right.

To change the speed of the song, press the [TEMPO/ TAP] button and use the dial or the numeric keypad (buttons [0] - [9], [+]/[–]) to adjust the tempo (range: 032 - 280 bpm).

You can even set the tempo manually by tapping it out with the [TEMPO/TAP] button—four times for a song in 4/4, three times for 3/4.
