Training mode
The VF80EX provides the training mode which allows you to practice your instrument while playing back only
Tracks 7/8. In the training mode, you can slow down the playback speed or altering the pitch, making it easy to
play along with your favorite musicians or transcribing ad-lib phrases.
You can also cancel the vocal or lead guitar solo which is positioned in the center, allowing you to replace it with
your vocal or guitar (like a karaoke).
The following description shows how to play the guitar along with audio recorded on Tracks 7/8.
<Hint>
Because only Tracks 7/8 can be played back in the Train-
ing mode, you have to record a song used for your prac-
tice in advance.
If you are going to use a song recorded on other tracks,
it will be a good idea to use the track exchange function
to move the song to Tracks 7/8.
Also, when you want to use an external source on CD,
MD, etc., record it onto Tracks 7/8 digitally using the
technique described later in "
Digital Recording ."
<Caution>
When copying a copyright material from CD, MD, etc.,
do not use the copy for any purpose except your prac-
tice or enjoyment. Any unauthorized use of the copy
for commercial purpose will constitute infringement
of such copyright and will render the infringer liable
to an action at law.
<Note>
When the training mode is active, you cannot make any
recording, as well as playback
Tracks 1 through 6 .
Connecting the instrument and headphones
Set the [MASTER] fader to the "
∞
" position.
Connect the instrument and headphones as shown in
the illustration above.
You may connect the instrument either [INPUT A] or
[INPUT B] .
On/Off of training mode
Press the [TRAINING] key.
Each press of the key alternates " On " and " Off ."
When set to " On ", the [TRAINING] key is illuminated,
while the display shows the training mode screen.
On the training mode screen, you can set the follow-
ing. You can use the
[CURSOR / ] key to select (high-
light) the item to be set.
1. Playback speed
2. Playback pitch
3. On/Off of the center cancel function
4. Setting of the cancel position
5. Low boost setting (for emphasizing the bass
sound)
<Note>
You can set the playback speed only while the
VF80EX is stopped. The other items can be set both
while stopped and during playback.
