6. Play Along with Bass Solo
With the “Bass Solo” function, you can play along with just
the bass part during playback. Since this function mutes the
other accompaniment parts, it lets you concentrate on im-
proving your ability to play in rhythm with the bass instru-
ment.
First, press the [SHIFT] + [SAVE/ENT] buttons to view the
following display (page 1 in the Utility Mode).
Next, press the [>] button three times to view the following
display.
Rotate the jog dial and select “BassSolo=on”.
With this set, press the [SONG >/■] button to start play-
back and then only the bass part will be heard.
If you have difficulty keeping the tempo when play-
ing with the drum mute or bass solo functions, try
using the metronome in combination with the song
to give you a better time reference.
Press the [
ON/OFF] button to have the metro-
nome play in tempo along with song playback.
Press the [
ON/OFF] button again to stop.
Changing the song will normally change the drum
kit to the kit that is already assigned to the song.
If you want use a different drum kit when playing
along with the song, press the [DRUMKIT] button
to enter the Drum Kit Select display, and then se-
lect another drum kit number.
If a different song is selected when the drum mute
is active ([SHIFT] + [SONG >/■]), the drum kit
will not change when a different song is selected.
