Technics sx-PR604/M - Manual (Page 98)

Direct Play
You can enjoy immediate playback of “Standard MIDI File” (SMF), “Disk Orchestra Collection” (DOC) and “PianoDisc” disks—all
without loading the song data.
1. Insert the disk with the stored data into the
Disk Drive.
2. On the DISK MENU display, select DIRECT
PLAY.
• The display looks similar to the following.
3. Use the buttons below the display to select
the song you wish to have played.
• If the number of files is 10 or more, you can use the PREV
and NEXT buttons to go back or advance 10 files at a
time.
• For SMF files, use the PLAY AS button to specify a sound
arrangement mode.
GM2: GM2 LEVEL 2
NX: NX SOUND
PREV. TEC: Data from Technics instruments not having
NX SOUND capability.
• For SMF files, you can use the INFO button to switch the
displayed data.
DISK: Disk name
SONG: Song name
• For SMF files, use the MIDI OUT button to specify whether
or not MIDI data is output during playback (ON/OFF).
(This cannot be changed during playback.)
4. Press the START button.
• The selected song is played back.
• You can also start playback of the song by pressing the
START/STOP button on the panel.
Adjusting the playback tempo
Even with a song having recorded tempo data, you can use
TEMPO/PROGRAM or TAP TEMPO to adjust the tempo to
your liking.
• When the tempo is changed, all the tempo data of that
song is automatically changed by the same ratio. Accord-
ingly, even in song data in which tempo change data is
stored, a single adjustment of the tempo produces a
natural-sounding playback.
The display during playback
• During playback, the buttons below the display are used
for player functions such as fast forward, pause, etc.
• During playback, if you press the MIXER button you can
change the settings for each part.
• If you press the MIC button during playback, the display
changes to the MIC REVERB & EFFECT setting display.
• For SMF disks:
For “SMF with LYRICS” disks, by pressing the LYRICS
button, the lyrics are shown on the display.
For a “minus one” performance, use the MUTE CH buttons
to select the channel you wish to mute. Following this,
you can play a keyboard performance on the channel
which was last set to MUTE.
• For DOC disks:
You can use the PART 1, PART 2 and ORCH (other ac-
companiment parts) buttons to set the respective parts to
ON or OFF. You can play the parts set to OFF on the
keyboard.
• For PIANO DISC playback:
You can use the PART 1 and ORCH (other accompa-
niment parts) buttons to set the respective parts to ON
or OFF. You can play the parts set to OFF on the key-
board.
MEDLEY PLAY
With DIRECT PLAY, songs saved on a disk can be played
back continuously in a medley.
1. On the DIRECT PLAY display, set the MED-
LEY settings.
• If ALL is pressed, all the files are selected, and the songs
are played back in order in a medley. If ALL is pressed
again, the files are deselected.
• You can use the buttons below the display to select a
song to add to the song list, then press the ADD button
to add it to the list. Repeat these steps to create your
own list of songs to have played back. A M01, M02 etc.
next to the file name indicates its order in the list.
• If the number of files is 10 or more, you can use the PREV
and NEXT buttons to go back or advance 10 files at a
time.
• You can delete a marked file from the medley song list
by selecting it and pressing the ADD button.
• Use the LOOP button to specify ON or OFF for repeat
playback of the medley.
2. Press the START button.
• Medley playback begins.
• During medley playback, you can use the SKIP button to
skip to the next song.
