The display indicates that the index finger should cross

Voice fingering guide uses a simulated human voice to call
out fingering numbers during Step 1 and Step 2 one-hand
part practice. If you need to press a key with your thumb, for
example, voice fingering guide says, “One!” In the case of a
chord to be played with your thumb, middle and little finger,
voice fingering guide says, “One, three, five!”
voice fingering guide calls out fingerings only when you do
not press the proper key when you should.
Use the lesson setting menu to turn voice fingering guide
on and off. See “Setting: Lesson” on page E-75 for more
information.
Note that voice fingering guide is available in either English
or Japanese. Use the lesson setting menu to select the
language you want to use. See “Setting: Lesson” on page
E-75 for more information.
This is where you enjoy actually playing the tunes you learn
using Step 1 and Step 2. The key light system still shows you
which keyboard keys to press, but accompaniment proceeds
at normal speed regardless of whether or not you play the
correct notes.
1.
Select the Music Library tune you want to play.
2.
Press the STEP 3 button to start Step 3 play.
Accompaniment (left hand part) starts to play at
normal speed.
3.
Follow the key light system to press the correct
keyboard keys and play the melody (right hand
part).
4.
To stop play at any time, press the STOP or
START/STOP button.
With Step 3 of two-hand practice, key lighting also indicates
note length. In this case, lighting indicates the keys you
should press, but the next key to be pressed does not flash.
With Step 3, the finger number for the next note does not
appear on the display. Only the finger number of the
current note is displayed.
You can also use pause, fast forward and fast reverse
operations with Step 3 play.
If you change the step, arrangement level, or lesson part
during step lesson playback, the change goes into effect
from the currently playing measure.
