Operations for Song Playback

This section explains detailed operations and functions related to Song playback which are not covered in the “Quick Guide.”

Starting/Stopping a Song

Press the SONG [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button to start Song playback, and press the SONG [J] (STOP) button to stop. In addition, there are several other convenient ways to start/stop a Song.

Starting Playback

Synchro Start

You can start playback as soon as you start playing the keyboard.

While playback is stopped, simultaneously press the SONG [J] (STOP) and [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) buttons simultaneously.

To cancel the Synchro Start function, simultaneously press the SONG [J] (STOP) and [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) buttons simultaneously once again.

Tap function

This useful function lets you press the [TAP TEMPO] button to tap out the tempo and automatically start the Song at that tapped speed. Simply tap (press/release) the button (four times for a 4/4 time signature) while the instrument is in Synchro Start standby mode, and the Song playback starts automatically at the tempo you tapped.

Fade In

The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth fade-ins when starting the Song playback. To produce fade-ins, press the [FADE IN/OUT] button while playback is stopped and then press the SONG [F/K] (PLAY/PAUSE) button to start playback.

Stopping Playback

Fade Out

The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth fade-outs when stopping the Song playback. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button at the beginning of the phrase you want to fade out.

Set the Fade In/Out time

The times of the fade-in and fade-out can be set independently. For details, refer to page 105.

Depending on the particular Song data, the Style will also play back at the same time.
