The RD-80e uses the underscore to place the files it creates itself (using the functions for
saving the songs recorded, see point 7.2) at the end of the list.
5.3 SELECTING AND PERFORMING SONGS
To select the song of your choice (if it is not the first in the list), use the [INC] and [DEC]
keys.
The [ENTER] key will start to flash, while [ESC] key will illuminate with a steady light.
Once the name of your chosen song has appeared, press [ENTER] to confirm: the LED of
the Disk drive will light up until the song has been loaded.
Loading a song normally takes only a very short time; however, longer waiting times are
possible in case of format 1 Midifiles and especially with files containing Lyrics metaevent
texts.
You can also press the [ESC] key to abort the operation and return to display of the last
song loaded.
To start playback, press the [PLAY] button: the LED of the key will light up and playback of
the song will start.
Pressing the [STOP] key will stop playback of the song, or you can press the [PAUSE]
button for a temporary halt in playback. When you press [PAUSE] again, performance of
the song will restart from the point where it was interrupted.
A song can also be selected while another is being played: in this case, select the song
using the [INC] and [DEC] keys, press [ENTER] and the new song will be performed
automatically, with no need to confirm with the [PLAY] button. Pressing [ESC] will abort
the new selection.
If you wish to display the number of the bar reached, either during playback or in stop or
pause status, keep the [PLAY] button pressed for about two seconds. To return to the
song selection video page, press the [ESC] button.
