Playing Back Songs
.
Here’s how to change the volume at which the song will play.
When you’re practicing along with a song, this allows you to adjust
the volume balance between your keyboard performance and the
song playback.
1. While holding down the [ ] button, press the [–]
[+] buttons.
The song playback volume is displayed while you hold down the
[ ] button.
The playback volume can be set to any value from 0 to 10.

When you turn off the power, the song playback volume will
revert to “10.”
You can change the tempo at which the song plays.
When you’re practicing one of the internal songs, slowing down the
tempo of the playback can make it easier to play along with a
difficult song.
1. Press the [Song] button a number of times until the
tempo value is displayed.
The [Song] button will light, and the display will show only a
number; this is the tempo.

2. Use the [–] [+] buttons to change the tempo.
Some of the internal preset songs have a tempo that varies during
the song.
Here’s how you can make these songs play back at a fixed,
unchanging tempo.
1. Press the [Song] button a number of times until the
tempo value is displayed.
The [Song] button will light, and the display will show only a
number; this is the tempo.
2. Keep holding down the [Song] button and use the [–] [+]
buttons to change the setting.

When you switch songs, the Tempo Mute function will revert
to the “off” setting.
The “Playback Transpose” function lets you change the key of the
song playback.

1. Play back the song that you want to hear or play along
with (p. 27).
2. While holding down the [Transpose] button, use the [–]
[+] buttons to adjust the pitch.
The pitch of the song will change in semitone steps.
The Playback Transpose setting is shown while you hold down the
[Transpose] button.
The range is -6–0–5 (semitone steps). If this is set to a value other
than 0, the [Transpose] button will light.
You can also select the transposition interval by pressing and
holding the [Transpose] button while pressing the desired key on
the RP201’s keyboard.
If the transpose value is anything other than “0,” you can use the
[Transpose] button to turn the Playback Transpose function on/off.
If you hold down the [Transpose] button and press both the [-]
and [+] buttons simultaneously, this setting will return to its
original value (0).
The transpose setting will return to “0” when you select
another song.
The Playback Transpose function won’t be applied if the
Transpose Mode (p. 35) is set to “Kbd” (Keyboard).
