Using Knobs 1 to 3, set the volume, pan, and reverb send level for the TRACK part as required.
NOTE
The volume of the TRACK part can also be adjusted directly using the [TRACK] knob.
CAUTION
Wave files created using devices other than your CP5 or CP50 may be very loud. If you select such a file for use as a backing track
and do not turn down the volume in advance, it may play back at an extremely high volume. It is important, therefore, to always turn
the TRACK part's volume down fully (i.e., to 0) before playing a newly-selected Wave file. Then, when playback is started as
described in Step 11 below, you can gradually increase the TRACK part volume to a suitable level.

button to turn on the part.

Page 3 of the Song Setting screen will be displayed.

If the lamp to the top-left of the [ / ] (Play / Pause) button is currently off, press this button while holding down the [ ]
(Stop) button.
Standby condition for backing track playback will be activated and the lamp will begin to flash.

The currently selected backing track will start to play. You can stop backing-track playback at any time by pressing the [ ]
(Stop) button.
