It sometimes indicates [SONG], [TOUCH], [UPPER], [LOWER], or [STYLE] instead.
When the unit is switched on, it defaults to [TONE].
3 Contents of Items You Can Set
For example, when ÒSongÓ appears in two display positions, the format ÒSong
Number:Song Name,Ó such as in Ò1:SalutDÕ Amour,Ó is displayed.
4 Cursor
The value of the item at the position of the cursor can be changed by pressing the
Value [+] and [-] buttons.
For example, when you press the [Tempo] button, the cursor moves to where Tempo
appears in the display, at which point you can change the value of the tempo.
5 Bouncing Ball
The bouncing ball is a flashing dot that moves across the screen in time with the music
or the metronome. Because the ball traces a semicircular path as it moves, you can
grasp rhythm as a spatial concept, rather than just as points.
MEMO
If so desired, you can stop the Bouncing Ball from being displayed.
Please refer to ÒTurning off the Bouncing BallÓ on p.48.
