Turning Track Playback On and Off
When you select a song on the P-250, the indica-

[TRACK 2], [EX.TRACKS]) light up green.
While the P-250 is playing or stopped, pressing
these track buttons turns off the indicators, and the
data on those tracks will not be played. Press the
track buttons repeatedly to toggle track playback
on and off.
You can play the part that is turned off.
Songs containing a large amount of data may not be read
properly by the instrument, and as such you may not be
able to select them. The maximum capacity is about 200—
300KB. However, this may vary, depending on the data con-
tent of each song.
Change the character type (CharacterCode) as appropriate
for the selected song (page 55).
See page 33 for information on the type of song data
that the P-250 can play back.
