Muting the Song Melody and Playing It Yourself (Melody Mute)

The "Melody Mute" function lets you temporarily mute the melody from the playback of
an internal song or of music files. Let's try singing the melody while you listen to the song.
NOTE
1. Prepare to play back the desired song.
If you want to play back SMF music files from a CD-ROM or USB memory, insert the CD into the
CD drive (p. 38) or connect your USB memory to external memory connector (p. 104).
Select the song that you want to play (p. 35, p. 38, p. 42, p. 46).

When the song plays, the sound of the melody channel will be temporarily muted.
Play the melody yourself while listening to the other parts of the song.

There's also a "Melody Guide function" (p. 95), which decreases the melody to a lower
(but still audible) level. This provides a convenient way for you to learn the melody.
The Melody Mute function won't work with a music CD.
