PLAY A SONG WITH A TRACK IN REAL TIME

Most of the Songs loaded from a Floppy Disk will have all tracks
engaged by the Sequencer. You can check about this immediately by
observing the display: if all tracks are active, including tracks 9...6 (use
the F9 function key to toggle between the two group of tracks), you will
see that no track is free to play along with the Song in Real Time.

If one or more tracks are off, it means that they are not engaged by the
Sequencer.

If you wish to play along with the Song in Real Time, you can either:

A) disengage one of the tracks used by the Sequencer;

or

B) enable of the tracks not used by the Song.
