To play back what you've recorded, first make sure that the green track
indicators of the tracks you want to play are lit. If not, press the corresponding
track button(s) so that they are lit. Then press the RECORDER [START/
START/
REC
STOP
STOP] button. Playback starts from the beginning of the recorded data, and
will stop automatically at the end of the recorded data. You can also stop
playback at any time by pressing the [START/STOP] button. To mute a track
so that it doesn't play back, press the corresponding track button so that its
indicator goes out (press again to turn the track back on).
The current measure number appears on the display during playback.

Synchro Start

When the Synchro Start function is engaged, recorder playback will begin
START/
STOP REC
automatically as soon as you start playing on the keyboard.
To engage the Synchro Start function press the [START/STOP] button
while holding a track button which is ON. The rightmost dot on the display will
flash at the current tempo. Playback will then start as soon as you begin playing
on the keyboard.
If you hold a track button which is OFF while pressing the [START/STOP]
button, that track will be turned ON and the Synchro Start mode will be engaged.

Left Pedal Start/Stop

The left pedal can be assigned to start and stop recorder playback via the
"Left Pedal Mode" function described on page 27.

Playback

• It is possible to play along on the keyboard during playback.
• The playback volume and tempo can be adjusted by using the [MASTER VOLUME]
control and [TEMPO/SONG] buttons (press both [TEMPO/SONG] buttons simulta-
neously to recall the default tempo).
• All recorder data will be retained in memory for about one week after the power is
turned off. If you want to keep your recorded data for longer periods, turn the power
on for a few minutes at least once a week. It is also possible to store it to an
external MIDI storage device such as the Yamaha DOU-10 Disk Orchestra Unit by
using the Bulk Dump function described on page 30.
• The track indicators will not light automatically when the power is turned on even if
the recorder contains data. It is therefore necessary to press the track buttons so
that the corresponding green indicators light before starting RECORDER playback.
It is also a good idea to press the track buttons to check if the tracks contain data
before recording. If the green indicator lights when the corresponding track button
is pressed, that track contains data which will be erased and replaced by the newly-
recorded data.
• If the metronome is being used during playback, the metronome will stop when
playback is stopped.
• During recorder playback, the volume of a track which is turned off will always be
"0" (i.e. the "Piano Song Part Cancel Volume" function — page 27 — only affects
piano song playback.
• The playback data is not transmitted via the MIDI OUT connector.
• Playback cannot be started when the demo/piano song mode or function mode is
engaged. Playback can be started from the function mode, however, after one of
the track buttons — [1] or [2] — is pressed.
• Playback cannot be started when the recorder contains no data, or when both track
buttons are off.
