■ Changing Playback Channels

If the Song data transferred from a computer includes Voices that are not available on the instrument, no sound may be produced, or the intended sound may not be produced correctly. In such cases, switching the playback channel as described below may make the playback sound more natural.

To set Playback Channels to “1+2”:

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the C7 key.

With this operation, the Song data of only channels 1 and 2 will be played back. When Voices incompatible with this instrument are assigned to Channels 3 – 16 and the Piano parts are assigned to the Channels 1 and 2, this operation results in the proper or expected sound.

To set Playback Channels to “All”:

While holding down [DEMO/SONG] and the [PIANO/VOICE] simultaneously, press the B6 key.

With this operation, the Song data of all channels will be played back.
