muted. To cancel muting, press Play/Rec/Mute once
again.
Tip: Play/Rec/Mute can be controlled from the front
panel mixer section, or from the P0– Control Surface
page of the LCD screen. (See "The control surface in
Sequencer mode" on page 74.)
4. Press track 1 "Solo On/Off."
"Solo" will be highlighted, and this time, only track
1 will be heard. This is known as "soloing" the
track.
If both Mute and Solo are used, the Solo function
will be given priority.
Press track 2 "Solo On/Off."
The display will change, and you will hear the
playback of tracks 1 and 2.
Note: Solo (on) applies to all tracks, including MIDI
tracks 1–16, audio tracks 1‐16, and all audio inputs
(analog, USB, and S/P DIF). If, as in this example,
you've turned Solo on for only MIDI tracks 1 and 2,
you will not hear MIDI tracks 3–16, audio tracks 1–
16, or any of the audio inputs.
5. To switch Solo off, press Solo On/Off once again.
Press Solo On/Off for both MIDI tracks 1 and 2.
The display will change, and the playback of tracks
1 and 2 will be muted. If the Solo function is turned
off for all tracks, playback will be according to the
Play/Rec/Mute settings.
Tip: Play/Rec/Mute can be controlled from the front
panel mixer section, or from the P0– Control Surface
page of the LCD screen. (See "The control surface in
Sequencer mode" on page 74)
Exclusive Solo
Normally, Solo works in "Exclusive Solo off" mode, in
which you can solo more than one track at a time (as in
the example above). In contrast, "Exclusive Solo on"
mode allows only one track to be soloed at a time,
making it easy to switch between soloed tracks.
Use the "Exclusive Solo" page menu command to
specify how the Solo function will operate.
Exclusive Solo off: You will be able to solo more than
one track at a time. The status of a track will change
each time you press its Solo On/Off button.
Exclusive Solo on: When you press a Solo On/Off
button, only that track will be soloed.
The SOLO setting is not stored when you save the
song.
Tip: You can turn Exclusive Solo on/off by holding
down the ENTER switch and pressing numeric key 1
(when not in P4 or P5).
LOCATE settings
You can press the LOCATE switch to move to the
registered location. Initially, this will move to
001:01.000.
To change the registered location, use the Set Location
page menu command. Alternatively, you can register a
location during playback by holding down the ENTER
switch and pressing the LOCATE switch.
When you select a song, the "LOCATE" setting is
automatically initialized to 001:01.000.
For more information, see "Set Location (for Locate
Key)" on page 626 of the Parameter Guide.

Loop playback

When recording or playing back a song, you can
individually loop the MIDI tracks that are playing.
In the P0: Play/REC– MIDI Track Loop page, check
Track Play Loop for the MIDI tracks you want to loop,
and use Loop Start Measure and Loop End Measure
to specify the starting and ending measure of the
region that will play back as a loop.
If Play Intro is checked (enabled), the measures
preceding the loop will be played back as an
introduction before the loop begins.
If you play back from the first measure with the
settings shown in the screenshot below, the specified
region of measures will repeat as follows. Note that
Play Intro is enabled for Track 1, but disabled for Track
2.
Measure 1 2 3 4 5
Track 1 1 2 3 4 5
Track 2 9 10 9 10 9
If Play Intro is disabled (un‐checked) for Track 1, the
specified region of measures will repeat as follows.
Measure 1 2 3 4 5
Track 1 5 6 7 8 5
Track 2 9 10 9 10 9
