One-Hand Practice with Piano Songs Each piano song has its left-hand and right-hand parts recorded on separate tracks: the right-hand part in Track [1], and the left-hand part in Track [2]. This makes it possible for you to switch off either part at any time. This feature is ideal for one-handed practice: just switch off one of the parts, then play the missing notes yourself in accompaniment with the other part. 23 1 MASTER VOLUME MAX FUNCTION TRANSPOSE SPLIT BRILLIANCE REVERB EFFECT TOUCH MIN PIANO 1 HARPSIPIANO 2 CLAVI.TONE E.PIANO1 E.PIANO2 CHORD VARIATION VIBES STRINGS CHOIR PIPE ORGAN ORGAN COMBINATION BASS TRANSPOSE SPLIT MELLOW ROOM CHORUS HARD NORMAL HALL 1 SYMPHONIC MEDIUM BRIGHT HALL 2 TREMOLO SOFT STAGE ECHO FIXED BRILLIANCE REVERB EFFECT TOUCH SONG MEASURE TEMPO METRONOME DEMO/ PIANO SONG TEMPO -/NO +/YES SONG SELECT RECORDER 1 2 START/ STOP REC Procedure 1 Switch off the part that you want to play by yourself.
