● Playing the melody yourself
On the internal songs, Track 1 contains the right-hand
performance data while Track 2 contains the left.
You can cancel the melody part and practice/play it
yourself by muting both Tracks 1 and 2, by pressing the
[1] and [2] buttons in the SONG MEMORY section.
● Changing the instrument sound for
the melody
For internal songs, the melody is played with the instru-
ment sound (voice) that is set to Melody R (VOICE -
MELODY R).
To change this, press the [VOICE] button several times
so that MELODY R is highlighted in the VOICE row of
the display, then select the desired instrument sound.
MELODY R is shown.
● Making fine adjustments to the micro-
phone volume
Call up the Mic Volume page in the FUNCTION dis-
play by pressing the [MIC] button.
This page determines the maximum volume for the
microphone—the highest level when the [MIC VOL-
UME] control is turned all the way up. By decreasing
this value, you can have more detailed control over the
level when using the [MIC VOLUME] control. This
setting is memorized even when the power is turned off.
