Song Settings Related to Playback/Recording

If you use the Guide function, the keyboard guide lamps indicate the notes (location and timing) for you to play. Also,
when you sing along with a MIDI Song playback using a connected microphone, the instrument automatically adjusts the
timing of the MIDI Song playback to match your vocal performance.
The Guide function can be turned on from the Song area (when expanded) of the Home display, Score display, Lyrics
display and Text display. For instructions on how to use Guide function, refer to the Owner’s Manual. This section covers
the detailed parameters about the Guide function.

NOTE

The Guide settings can be saved as a part of Song data (

page 72

). When you select the saved Song the next time, the

corresponding Guide settings will also be called up.

Guide menu for keyboard practice

• Follow Lights: With this function, the keyboard guide lamps indicate which notes you should play.

continues.

• Any Key: With this function, you can play the melody of a Song just by pressing a single key (any key is

OK) in time with the rhythm. Song playback pauses and waits for you to play any key. Simply play a key
on the keyboard in time with the music and Song playback continues.

• Your Tempo: Basically the same as “Follow Lights.” In addition, playback tempo will change to match

the speed at which you are playing.

Guide menu for singing

• Karao-Key: This function lets you control the Song playback timing with just one finger, while you

sing along. This is useful for singing to your own performance. Song playback pauses, waiting for you to
