This function allows you to select the track number of a loaded song from com-
puter (only SMF format 0).

The track number of the song can be specified in the Function mode (page 76).

This lesson step lets you practice just the timing of the notes — any note can be
used, as long as you play in rhythm. Pick a note to play. For the left hand, use a
note in the auto accompaniment area or play the appropriate left-hand note; for
the right, play a note above F

#

2. Simply concentrate on playing each note in time

with the rhythmic accompaniment.

Play the appropriate melody or chord with the song.

After the lead-in, the song starts automatically, and the appropriate notes
appear in the display. In Lesson 1, simply play one note repeatedly in time
with the music.

Regarding chords and the use of the left hand, the DGX-202 actually has two
different types of songs: 1) songs with normal left-hand chords, and 2) songs
in which the left hand plays arpeggios or melodic figures in combination
with the right.

In the case of the first type, play the chords with your left hand in the auto
accompaniment area of the keyboard.
