● To Use transferred Songs For Lessons or
Score Display …
In order to use songs (only SMF format 0) trans-
ferred from a computer for lessons it is necessary
to specify which channels are to be played back as
the right-hand and left-hand parts. The procedure
for setting the “guide track” is as follows:
1 Press the [SONG] button and select the song
(036 –) residing in SmartMedia or flash mem-
ory for which you want to set the guide track.
2 Press the [FUNCTION] button to call up the
FUNCTION display.
3 Use the CATEGORY [ ] and [ ] buttons to
select the R-Part or L-Part item.
4 Use the dial to select the channel you want to
play back as the specified right- or left-hand
part.
We recommend that you select channel 1 for the
right-hand part and channel 2 for the left-hand part.
• End the Musicsoft Downloader to playback the song transferred
from your computer.
NOTE
• Do not unplug the USB cable during a data transfer. Not only will
the data not be transferred and saved, but operation of the memory
media may become unstable and its contents may disappear com-
pletely when the power is turned on or off.
CAUTION
• Store data can be lost due to equipment malfunction or improper
operation. For safety we recommend that you keep a copy of all
important data stored on your computer.
• We recommend that you use a power adaptor rather than batteries
when transferring data. The data can be corrupted if the batteries
fail during the transfer.
