Adjust the microphone settings (page 16). 3. Turn the [SOUND BACK] button on. NOTE While the Sound Back function is on, there will be no sound even when you play the keyboard. 4. Practice to play at a correct pitch using the Sound Back function. 4-1. Perform on your instrument with the pitch you imagined and input the sound into the HD-300. The HD-300 will play the note in the correct pitch that is nearest to the sound you have played. 4-2. Adjust your performance to match the pitch to the note played back by the HD-300. The HD-300 continues playing the sound, unless you stop performing. 4-3. Stop your performance and wait a while. The HD-300 stops sounding automatically after a specified length of time.
