Playing back a song with a constant

tempo (Muting the Tempo track)

If the song changes tempo during playback, these tempo

changes are recorded on the Tempo track. If you want to

play back the song at a constant tempo (without tempo

changes), you can mute the Tempo track.

❶ Make sure that the Play display (SEQ(Song)) is up and

the song is stopped.

You cannot mute the Tempo track while a song is playing

back.

❷ Move the cursor to a position other than “TRK.”

❸ Press [TEMPO/BEAT] to make the button indicator go

off.

To cancel the muting, press [TEMPO/BEAT] again to make

the indicator light.

Playing back a Pattern

Aside from the Phrase tracks, songs also contain a Pattern

track. Patterns are a unit of musical data which can be han-

dled and played back separately from Phrase tracks.

However, it is not possible to quick play a Pattern. To play

back a Pattern, the song containing the Pattern must be

loaded into internal memory.

Pattern number

Shows the number (001–100) of each Pattern recorded on the

Pattern track.

Pattern name

If you select a Pattern by changing the Pattern number, that

Pattern’s name will be displayed. Nothing will appear if a

name is not assigned to the Pattern.

Song name

Shows the name of the selected song.

M (Measure number)

Shows the current measure number of the Pattern.

(Playback tempo)

Shows the playback tempo of a song.

✳ As Patterns have no Tempo track for tempo manage-

ment, it is impossible to set an independent tempo for

each Pattern.

B (Beat)

Shows the time signature of the Pattern (Pattern beat).

Loop

Specifies repeated playback over the section of a song you

specify (p.102).

✳ Each song can have only one Loop setting; it is not pos-

sible to specify a Loop setting for each Pattern.

PART

If Performance mode is selected, the display will show the

Part to be played from the keyboard (current Part) with “o,”

and those not to be played with “_”. If a Layer Performance

is selected, however, Parts with the Local Switch parameter

(PERFORM/MIDI/Part MIDI) set ON will be indicated with

“o,” meaning that all such Parts will be played from the key-

board.

If you are in Patch mode or Rhythm Set mode, “Patch

Mode” or “Rhythm Mode” will respectively appear instead.

✳ Each song can have only one Part setting; a separate

Part setting for each Pattern cannot be specified.

Patch/Rhythm Set

The name of the Patch or Rhythm Set assigned to the current

Part will appear in parentheses ( ). To change the Patch or

Rhythm Set, modify the group and number. Do the same

when you are in Patch mode or Rhythm Set mode.

✳ Each song can have only one Patch/Rhythm Set set-

ting; a separate Patch/Rhythm Set setting for each

Pattern cannot be specified.

❶ Insert the disk into the disk drive.

❷ Press [DISK].

❸ Press the numeric key [1], then [ENTER].

❹ Move the cursor to “File Type” and choose SONG.

❺ Move the cursor to “File Name” and select the song

you want to load.

❻ Press [F6] (Execute).

The song has been loaded into the internal memory. The

Play (SEQ(Song)) will appear.

❼ Press [PATTERN] to call up the Play display

(SEQ(Pattern)).

❽ Move the cursor to the Pattern number and select the

Pattern you want to play back.

❾ Press [STOP/PLAY] to play back the Pattern.

When the song finishes, playback will stop automatically. To

interrupt Pattern playback, press [STOP/PLAY].

✳ It is possible to change the playback tempo or mute the

Tempo track during the Pattern playback. However,

this tempo change is part of the song’s setting, not the

Pattern’s.

❿ When you finish playing back the Pattern, press [PAT-

TERN], [EXIT] or [SEQUENCER] to return to the Play

display (SEQ(Song)).
