Training mode
The VF80EX provides the training mode which allows you to practice your instrument while playing back only
Tracks 7/8. In the training mode, you can slow down the playback speed or altering the pitch, making it easy to
play along with your favorite musicians or transcribing ad-lib phrases.
You can also cancel the vocal or lead guitar solo which is positioned in the center, allowing you to replace it with
your vocal or guitar (like a karaoke).
The following description shows how to play the guitar along with audio recorded on Tracks 7/8.
Because only Tracks 7/8 can be played back in the Train-
ing mode, you have to record a song used for your prac-
tice in advance.
If you are going to use a song recorded on other tracks,
it will be a good idea to use the track exchange function
to move the song to Tracks 7/8.
Also, when you want to use an external source on CD,
MD, etc., record it onto Tracks 7/8 digitally using the
technique described later in "
Digital Recording ."
When copying a copyright material from CD, MD, etc.,
do not use the copy for any purpose except your prac-
tice or enjoyment. Any unauthorized use of the copy
for commercial purpose will constitute infringement
of such copyright and will render the infringer liable
to an action at law.
When the training mode is active, you cannot make any
recording, as well as playback
Tracks 1 through 6 .
Connecting the instrument and headphones
Set the [MASTER] fader to the "
∞
" position.
Connect the instrument and headphones as shown in
the illustration above.
You may connect the instrument either [INPUT A] or
[INPUT B] .
On/Off of training mode
Press the [TRAINING] key.
Each press of the key alternates " On " and " Off ."
When set to " On ", the [TRAINING] key is illuminated,
while the display shows the training mode screen.
On the training mode screen, you can set the follow-
ing. You can use the
[CURSOR / ] key to select (high-
light) the item to be set.
1. Playback speed
2. Playback pitch
3. On/Off of the center cancel function
4. Setting of the cancel position
5. Low boost setting (for emphasizing the bass
sound)
You can set the playback speed only while the
VF80EX is stopped. The other items can be set both
while stopped and during playback.
