Practicing

A music file for piano lessons may be assigned to the five Track buttons as shown
below.

fig.5trackButton-e

By using these Track buttons, you can mute the sound of specific parts. This is
referred to as “mute.”

Preparing to Play

1.

Select the song you want to play.

“Listening to the Internal Songs” (p. 38)

“Listening to Music Files or a Song that was Saved on External Memory” (p. 41)

2.

Press the track button for the performance part you want to practice; the

button’s indicator goes off.

The indicators of the buttons you pressed will go dark, and the selected track will not

Playing back

4.

Press the [

(Play/Stop)] button.

The button’s indicator will light.

The song will begin playing. Go ahead and play along with the song.

Playing Along with Songs

You can play along with a song stored internally in the HPi-6 or on external memory.
You can mute the sound of the part you want to play, and play that part yourself. This makes it easy to
practice hands separately. For example, you can follow along with your right hand while you listen to that
same right-hand part be played, or you can practice the left-hand part while the right-hand part plays.
You can check the notes in all internal songs and songs stored to external memory in the Notation screen.

For more on music files, refer
to “Music Files That the HPi-6
Can Use” (p. 114).

If a single Track button
includes more than one
instrument and you want to
mute just one of those
instruments, take a look at
“Preventing a Part from
Playing (Mute)” (p. 85).

When a single Part is not
played, it is called “Minus
One.” Using Minus One, you
can mute out a particular
instrument and play the part
yourself.

When playing back SMF music
files for Roland Piano Digital
series instruments, and the [3/
Left] button and [4/Right]
button do not correctly control
the left/right-hand
performances, please change
the “Track Assign” settings.
Please refer to “Changing the
Parts Assigned to the Track
Buttons During SMF Playback
(Track Assign)” (p. 86).

You can press the Tempo
[Slow] [Fast] buttons to adjust
the tempo to your liking.
