Playing the DJ

1
Press the [DJ] button.
Doing this automatically resets the entire instrument for playing the spe-
cially programmed DJ song and voice.
2
Turn on the Lesson feature, and select a Lesson step.
Lesson steps 1 - 3 can be used with DJ play. Press either the [L] or [R] but-
ton, repeatedly if necessary, until the desired Lesson step is called up.
You can play with the DJ feauture by using the Multi pads or the keyboard.
In the case of the keyboard, the DJ voice is divided into "blocks" (as shown
below). Each block has a different sound.
For Lesson 1, any note on the keyboard can be played. For the other Lesson
steps, play the appropriate octave block.
Once the song starts playing and the DJ "teacher" says "Go," play the appro-
priate block as indicated by the lights on the keyboard. (When Talking is on,
the blocks are also "announced" in Lesson 2.)

Press the [START/STOP] button to stop the song.

• Since there are no left or right
parts in the DJ song, the [L] and
[R] buttons can be used inter-
changeably. Also for the same
reason, Lesson 3 and Lesson 4
are identical.
• Try playing one of the special DJ
voices (#098, #099) with the DJ
song. (See page 27.)
