Singing with Song Playback—Operations While Performing

Playback Operations exclusively for MIDI Song

 Synchro Start

You can conveniently start playback of a MIDI Song as soon as you start playing the keyboard. Touching (Synchro

start) puts Synchro Start in standby status, regardless of whether the Song is currently playing or stopped. To cancel the

Synchro Start function, repeat the same operation.

 Playback Using Song Position Markers ([M], [1]–[4], [Loop])

Using Song Position markers, you can not only navigate quickly and easily through the MIDI Song data, but also set up

convenient playback loops, for ease in song arranging. For details, refer to “Using Song Position Markers” (page 75).

Moving the Song Playback Position (Song Position pop-up window)

When you press and hold the [ ] (PREV) or [ ] (NEXT) button, a

setting display appears showing the current position of the Song. When

the window is shown on the display, you can also use the Data dial to

move backward/forward continuously through the current file.

The Phrase Mark number appears only when a MIDI Song containing

Phrase Marks is selected. You can select whether the Song playback

position moves backward or forward in Bar or Phrase Mark units by

touching the setting display beforehand.

Phrase Mark is a pre-programmed marker in certain MIDI Song data, which specifies a specific

location in the Song.

NOTE

Moving the Song Playback Position (progress bar on the display)

In each Song area, the current position of the Song playback is shown. This can be moved forward or backward by

moving the slider on the display.

Queuing the next Song for playback

While a MIDI Song is playing back, you can queue up the next MIDI Song for playback. This is convenient for chain-

ing it to the next Song smoothly during live performance. To queue up, select the Song you want to play next in the

Song Selection display, while a Song is playing back. The “Next” indication appears at the upper right of the corre-

sponding Song name. To cancel this setting, touch (Next Cancel) on the Song Selection display.

You can also queue up the next Audio Song for playback while a Audio Song is playing back, in the same way as for a

MIDI Song.

When the Recording function is used, the queue for playback is canceled.
