Practical functions for song playback

Using playlists

The Playlist function allows you to prepare lists of all
the songs you want to use during a performance. The
advantage of working with such "chains" is that you do
not need to select files between songs. You can also use
this functionality to provide background music between
performances.

Programming playlists

(1) If necessary, connect the USB storage device and
insert the CD that contain the desired songs.
Playlists can access audio and SMF song files on all
available storage devices (internal hard disk, USB
storage device, CD).
(2) Press the [PLAYLIST] button.
The display now looks as follows:
If the first entry is not called "-----End-----", press
the [NEW] display button at the bottom of the dis-
play.
Playlists consist of "steps" to which you can assign
one song each.
(3) Press the [ADD¥SONG] display button to jump to a
page similar to the following:

PLAYLIST
(4) Select the device that contains the first song you
want to add (INTERNAL, CD, EXTERNAL).
(5) Select the folder that contains the desired song (if
necessary).
(6) Press the name of the song you want to add to the
playlist.
Steps (4)~(6) are the same as for selecting the songs
you want to play back (see p. 23 and following).
Note: You can also select several songs at once by pressing
their names.
(7) Press the [ADD¥TO¥PLAYLIST] display button to add
the selected song(s).
Note: You can also use the FINDER function to search for
the desired song. See page 47.
This takes you back to the following page. The song is
assigned to step 01, and step 02 becomes the last one
of your list ("-----End-----"):
(8) Repeat steps (3)~(7) above to assign all desired
songs to your playlist.
(9) After compiling your playlist, press the [SAVE] dis-
play button.
(10) Enter the name of your new playlist file.
See "Entering names" on p. 38 for details.
(11) To confirm your name and save the file, press the
[ENTER] display button.
