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

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. 41)
→ “Listening to Music Files or a Song that was Saved on USB Memory” (p. 44)
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
be heard.

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 music data stored internally in the HPi-7S, on USB memory or on CD--ROM.
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 right-hand part while the left-hand part plays.
You can check the notes in internal songs and songs stored to USB memory in the Notation screen.

For more on music files, refer to
“Music Files That the HPi-7S
Can Use” (p. 125).
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. 95).
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. 93).
You can press the Tempo
[Slow] [Fast] buttons to adjust
the tempo to your liking.
