Practicing One Hand at a Time (Part Mute)

Here's how to have only the selected part play back. This allows you to practice playing the left or right-hand part of a song while listening to the
other hand played automatically.
Part
The performance data is assigned to the three Part buttons:
Accomp, Left, and Right.
What is "Part Mute"?
You can "part mute" a specific part so that it will not be heard.
* If you've selected a song that does not contain an
accompaniment, the [Accomp] button will not light even
if you press it.
1.
Press the part button for the part that you want to mute .
The button you pressed will go out, and the selected part will not be heard (or will be heard at a reduced volume).
MEMO
• The mute setting will be cancelled when you switch songs.
• Although the Part Mute function cannot be used with respect to the playback of an audio file, you can reduce the volume during playback of
sounds that are localized at the center of the sound field, such as vocals or bass. See "Playing Back an Audio File with Its Central Sound Minimized"
(p. 55).
2.
To un-mute the sound, press the part button once again so it's lit .
Using the sound of a specific part as a "guide" (mute volume)
If desired, you can specify that the sound of a part will play at a reduced volume rather than going completely silent when you press a part 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.

While holding down the part button, use the cursor [
