Playing Back Songs On Disk - Roland KR-75 Manual

Owner's Manual
5.3. Playing back songs on disk
The KR-75 is fitted with a floppy disk drive. Among
other things, it allows you to listen to commercially
available music data (Standard MIDI Files), to use
your own Style Party pieces, or to play back songs
you created and saved onto disk. Here is how to lis-
ten to such music data:
Note: Before using disks, please carefully read "Before
using floppy disks" on page 5.

Every song you play back from disk is automatical-
ly copied to the KR-75's internal Composer memo-
ry. (The advantage of that is that you can remove
the music data disk after listening to the song once.)
If the KR-75's memory already contains a song, the
following message appears:
User Song will he erased.
Are you sure ?
If you don't want to lose the song in the KR-75's
internal memory, press <CANCEL> and see "Sav-
ing a song to disk" on page 32. Otherwise, press
<OK>.

Selecting and playing back Songs
Use the buttons next to the display to select the song you
want to listen to.
If not all songs of the disk fit on one page, use
<<4<4PAGE> and <PAGEP > to jump to the
desired Song Select page.
Press <Play®> or the [PLAY] button.
The performance will begin. After several seconds,
the display returns to previous screen.
Note: For songs that do not begin on the downbeat of the
first measure, "PU" (Pickup) will be displayed when the
song begins. After that, measure numbers will be dis-
played.
Playback stops automatically at the end of the song.
You can stop playback any time by pressing
<Stoplil> or the [STOP] button.
If you press the [RESET] button, playback stops and
the song is rewound to the beginning of the first
measure.
Listening to all songs one after
another
Press <All Song>.
The entire group of songs will begin playing in
order. The set will repeat if you do not stop the per-
formance.
. To stop playback, press <Stopill> or the [STOP] button.
If you press the [RESET] button, playback stops and
the song is rewound to the beginning of the first
measure.
Rewinding and fast forwarding
By pressing the [FWD] and [BWD] buttons, you can
advance to later measures or return to previous
ones. Doing so allows you to start playback from
the desired measure.
Each press of one of the buttons moves you ahead
or back one measure at a time, and when you hold
the button down, the movement is continuous.
Note: Depending on the size of the song data, rewinding
and fast forwarding may take some time.
Note: It is also possible to mute one of the song parts
and play it yourself. See "Track Mute: Muting specific
tracks" on page 31.
Note: The KR-75 provides a function for practising diffi-
cult passages. Such passages can be marked and repeated
over and over. See "Marker function: repeatedly playing
back the same section" on page 42 for details.
