Resuming playback from the middle of a

song (MIDI Update)

When you fast-forward or ‘rewind’ a song to a different

Song position and resume playback, sometimes the correct

Patches may not have been selected, or pitch bend or other

controller data has been left ‘hanging.’ This is because data

in the intervening measures has not been sent to the internal

sound source. In such cases, use the MIDI Update function.

MIDI Update transmits all MIDI messages (except Note mes-

sages) in the skipped measures (from the beginning of the

song to the new Song position) to the sound source, ensur-

ing that the sound source is correctly set for playback to

resume from the new Song position.

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

song playback is stopped.

MIDI Update cannot be executed while a song is playing

back.

❷ While holding down [SHIFT], press [STOP/PLAY].

While processing is taking place, the display will indi-

cate “MIDI Update...” When processing is completed,

“COMPLETE” will appear.

Programming songs for playback

If you want to play back other songs in succession, you can

select up to three songs while the current song is playing.

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

the song is playing.

Song programming is possible only during playback.

❷ Move the cursor to the song number, and select the

song(s) you wish to program.

❸ Press [ENTER] to finalize the selection. The pro-

grammed song numbers will appear on the display in

the order you selected them.

✳ To cancel a song you programmed, press [EXIT]. Each

time you press [EXIT], the last-programmed song will

be cancelled.

✳ If you press [STOP/PLAY] instead of [ENTER], the

song currently playing will stop and the song you just

programmed will begin playing back. At this time, the

previously programmed songs will be cancelled.

Changing the Part to be played from the

keyboard

When playing the keyboard along with an ensemble song

playback, select the Part to be played from the keyboard.

This will allow you to play bass or drums from the key-

board.

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

❷ Move the cursor to “PART.”

✳ If you move the cursor to “PART” while a song is play-

ing back, the button indicators for TRACK/PART

[1]–[16] light or remain off. Lighted indicators show

that these Parts are receiving MIDI messages.

❸ Press a TRACK/PART [1]–[16] button to select the Part

to play from the keyboard.

If you change the Part by pressing TRACK/PART [1]–[16],

the correspondingly numbered Phrase track will be chosen.

If you want to change only the Part, turn the VALUE dial or

press [INC]/[DEC].

✳ If you have selected a Layer Performance, pressing a

key will make all the Parts indicated with “o” sound.

Changing the instrument sounds for song

playback

When playing back a song, you can change the Patch or

Rhythm Set to enable song playback with any instrument

sound you want.

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

❷ Move the cursor to “PART.”

✳ If Patch mode or Rhythm Set mode has been selected,

“Patch Mode” or “Rhythm Set Mode” will appear

instead of “PART,” so steps 2 and 3 will be omitted.

❸ Press a TRACK/PART [1]–[16] button to choose the

Part to which you want to assign a new Patch or

Rhythm Set.

If you select a Part using TRACK/PART [1]–[16], the corre-

spondingly numbered Phrase track will also be selected. If

you want to change only the Part, turn the VALUE dial or

press [INC]/[DEC].

❹ Press [d ] to move the cursor down and change the

group and number to select the Patch or Rhythm Set

you want.

✳ When you’ve changed the Patch or Rhythm Set

assigned to a Part, the setting will be lost if power is

turned off or if you select another Performance. If you

wish to keep this setting, you must rewrite the

Performance.
