Changing the Parts Assigned to the Track
Buttons During SMF Playback (Track Assign)
Ordinarily, when playing back SMF music files for Roland
Piano Digital instruments (p. 80), the left-hand part is
assigned to the [Left] button, and the right-hand part is
assigned to the [Right] button. However, right-hand and left-
hand part assignments in certain SMF music files may differ.
If these are set to "Auto," and as a result you are unable to
use the track buttons to control the left- and right-hand
parts properly, change the setting to "2/1 Part" or "3/4 Part."
* This setting can be used for SMF format songs other than the
internal preset songs. It will not affect internal preset songs.
Setting Description
The part assigned to each track will be
determined automatically, depending on the
song file.
Assigns Part 1 to the [Right] button, Part 2 to
the [Left] button, and the remaining parts to
the [Accomp] button.
Assigns Part 4 to the [Right] button, Part 3 to
the [Left] button, and the remaining parts to
the [Accomp] button.
After changing this setting, try selecting the song once
again.
Using the Sound of a Specific Part as a
"Guide" (Mute Volume)
If desired, you can specify that the sound of a track will play
at a reduced volume rather than going completely silent
when you press a track button and turn off its indicator.
This setting lets you play a specific part at a reduced volume
and use it as a "guide" for your playing.
Setting Description
0 – 10 Increasing the value will make the sound louder.
When you turn off the power, the track mute volume will be
reset to "0."
