Owner’s Manual

With the default setting, pressing the [DEMO] button

will play back only 11 Songs (Song No. 001–011)

repeatedly. This setting can be changed so that, for

example, all internal Songs automatically play back,

letting you use the instrument as a background

music source.

1

Hold down the [DEMO] button for longer

than a second.

“DemoGrp” (Function 061; page 63) is shown in

the display for a few seconds, followed by the cur-

rent repeat playback target.

2

Use the [+/YES] or [-/NO] button to select

a playback group.

3

Press the [DEMO] button to start play-

back.

To stop playback, press the [DEMO] button again

or press the [START/STOP] button.

Random Song Playback

When the Demo Group (above) is set to something

other than “Demo,” the playback order via the

[DEMO] button can be changed between numerical

order and random order. To do this, press the

[FUNCTION] button several times until “PlayMode”

(Function 062; page 63) is called up, then select

“Normal” or “Random.”

Like the transport controls on an audio player, this

instrument lets you fast forward (FF), rewind (REW)

and pause (PAUSE) playback of the Song.

You can change a Song’s melody Voice to any other

desired Voice.

1

Select and play back a Song.

2

Select the desired Voice.

3

Press and hold the [VOICE] button for

longer than a second.

“SONG MELODY VOICE” appears in the display

for a few seconds, and the selected Voice

replaces the Song’s original melody Voice.
