Chapter 1. Playing Back Songs

Look at What You Can Do with the RG-3M!

●
Listen to the Internal Songs
The various internal songs programmed in the RG-3M are categorized into "Jazz" and "Classical" genres.
You can play back the songs in these genres in a variety of ways, playing all the songs in sequence or
randomly, or just playing songs individually.
●
Listening to Music from CDs or CD included with the RG-3M.
You can use the RG-3M's CD drive to play the included CD, CD-ROMs containing saved SMF music files, commercial
audio CDs, and player piano CDs.
●
Listen to Songs on USB memory
You can connect a commercially available USB memory and play back SMF music files and audio files
saved on USB memory. You can also copy song data recorded with the RG-3M.
●
Store Songs in the "Favorites"
The RG-3M's "Favorites" section is programmed at the factory with a tone demo. Listen to the tone demo
and check out the various characteristics of the different tones.
Additionally, you can save songs recorded with the RG-3M to the "Favorites" and you can copy songs
stored in USB memory to the "Favorites" as well. Songs held in the "Favorites" are not lost when the
power is turned off, making this a convenient place to store those songs you listen to often.
●
Easy-to-Use Remote Control Included
You can use the included remote control to start and stop the current performance and switch songs.
You can also use the remote control to select what is to be displayed on an external screen or television
set connected to the RG-3M and assign other functions to the remote control's buttons to make operating
the RG-3M even simpler.
●
Connect a Microphone for Karaoke Performances
Connect a microphone to the RG-3M, and you are ready to enjoy karaoke. You can change the key of the
song to match the singer's voice and adjust the amount of echo applied to the microphone input. In
addition, the RG-3M includes functions for adding harmonies and effects (Transformer) to vocals.
●
Show Your Favorite Images on a Connected Display or Television
You can connect an external display or television set to the RG-3M and display the Song Select screen,
lyrics and notations, and even slide shows of your favorite images. You can also use the remote control
to switch the images appearing in the connected external display or television.
●
The "Moving Key" Feature
You can have the RG-3M's keyboard play automatically along with the internal songs, songs recorded
with the RG-3M, songs on CDs, and songs stored in USB memory. You can switch this feature on and off
with the [Moving Key] button on the front panel or with the buttons on the remote control.
