Karaoke — other convenient controls and features

●

Changing the key to suit your voice

Press the [TRANSPOSE] button and use the dial or the

numeric keypad (buttons [0] - [9], [+]/[–]) to adjust the

transpose setting.

This can be set in half steps, up to

one octave lower or higher (range: -12 - +12).

●

Changing the tempo of the song

Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button and use the dial or the

numeric keypad (buttons [0] - [9], [+]/[–]) to adjust the

tempo (range: 032 - 280 bpm).

For details, see page 20.

●

Adjusting the echo effect

Press the [MIC] button, then press the CATEGORY

[

] button once to call up the Mic Echo page in the

FUNCTION display.

Use the dial or the numeric key-

pad to change the setting (range: 000 - 127).

●

Using the fast forward, rewind and

pause controls

You can control the song just as you would on cassette

deck or CD player—using these familiar “transport”

buttons.


●

Repeating sections of the song

This convenient practice feature lets you specify any

part of the song and repeatedly play it back.


●

Playing the melody yourself

On the internal songs, Track 1 contains the right-hand

performance data while Track 2 contains the left.

You can cancel the melody part and practice/play it

yourself by muting both Tracks 1 and 2, by pressing the

[1] and [2] buttons in the SONG MEMORY section.


●

Changing the instrument sound for

the melody

For internal songs, the melody is played with the instru-

ment sound (voice) that is set to Melody R (VOICE -

MELODY R).

To change this, press the [VOICE] button several times

so that MELODY R

is highlighted in the VOICE row of

the display, then select the desired instrument sound.

●

Making ﬁne adjustments to the micro-

phone volume

Call up the Mic Volume page in the FUNCTION dis-

play by pressing the [MIC] button.

This page determines the maximum volume for the

microphone—the highest level when the [MIC VOL-

UME] control is turned all the way up.

By decreasing

this value, you can have more detailed control over the

level when using the [MIC VOLUME] control.

This

setting is memorized even when the power is turned off.

f

MELODY R is shown.
