Direct Play

You can enjoy immediate playback of "Standard MIDI File" (SMF), "Disk Orchestra Collection" (DOC) and
"PianoDisc" disks—all without loading the song data.
1.
Insert the disk with the stored data into the
Disk Drive.
2.
On the DISK MENU display, select DIRECT
PLAY.
• The display looks similar to the following.
<Example: SMF>
3.
Use the buttons below the display to select the
song you wish to have played.
• If the number of files is 10 or more, you can use the
PREV and NEXT buttons to go back or advance 10 files
at a time.
• For SMF files, use the PLAY AS button to specify a
sound arrangement mode.
GM2: GENERAL MIDI LEVEL 2
NX: NX SOUND
PREV. TEC: Data from Technics instruments
not having NX SOUND capability.
• For SMF files, you can use the INFO button to switch the
displayed data.
DISK: Disk name
SONG: Song name
• For SMF files, use the MIDI OUT button to specify
whether or not MIDI data is output during playback
(ON/OFF). (This cannot be changed during playback.)
4.
Press the START button.
• The selected song is played back.
Adjusting the playback tempo
Even with a song having recorded tempo data,
you can use TEMPO/PROGRAM or TAP
TEMPO to adjust the tempo to your liking.
• When the tempo is changed, all the tempo data of that
song is automatically changed by the same ratio. Accord-
ingly, even in song data in which tempo change data is
stored, a single adjustment of the tempo produces a nat-
ural-sounding playback.
The display during playback
<Example: SMF>
• During playback, the buttons below the display are used
for player functions such as fast forward, pause, etc.

changes to the MIC REVERB & EFFECT setting display.

button, the lyrics are shown on the display.

∧ ∨ ∨ ∨ ∨

the ON/OFF buttons and set the track you want to MUTE

mance on the channel which was last set to MUTE.
