Playing Each Hand Separately - Roland MP-60 Owner's Manual

Chapter 3. Playing Along with the Internal Songs

Playing Each Hand Separately

The internal songs allow you to select the performance part that will be played back.
The left-hand performance of the internal songs is assigned to the [1] button, while
the right-hand performance is assigned to the [2] button. The place where each part
of the performance is held is called a "track," and the [1] and [2] buttons are called
"track buttons."
