Using the Practice Functions
With commercially available music files for piano lessons, the part for each hand can be played back independently. 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.
A music file for piano lessons may be assigned to the Track buttons as shown below.
By using these Track buttons, you can eliminate the sound of specific parts. This is referred to as “muting.”
By recording your own performances to the Track Buttons in this fashion, you can mute parts the same way. For details, refer to
“Recording While Selecting the Track Buttons (Redoing Recordings)” (p. 131).
You cannot mute individual parts separately in audio/MP3 format or music CD song.
If a single Track button includes more than one instrument and you want to mute just one of those instruments, refer to
“Modifying the Settings of Each Part” (p. 157).
When playing back SMF files for Roland Piano Digital series instruments, and the [Left] button and [Right] button do not
correctly control the lower/ upper performances, please change the “Track Assign” settings.
