• The Difference Between MELODY R and MELODY L ...
Songs are a combination of a melody and an auto-accom-
paniment style. Normally “melody” refers to the right-hand
part, but in this instrument “melody” parts are provided for
both the right and left hands. MELODY R is the melody
part played by the right hand, and MELODY L is the mel-
ody part played by the left hand.
NOTE
• Track [1]—Will play back as the right-hand melody
part (MELODY R)
• Track [2]—Will play back as the left-hand melody
part (MELODY L)
• Tracks [3]–[5]—Will play back as “other” perfor-
mance data.
• Track [A]—Will play back as the Style (auto-accom-
paniment) part.
