Switching off certain song parts (part 2)
Proceed as follows to select the tracks one by one and 
change their status. This approach allows you to mute 
just one track (“Mute”). You may remember that the 
[Bass÷Accomp] button is assigned to several tracks. 
The following also allows you to mute all tracks except 
the one you select (“Solo”).
(1) Select the song you want to play along to (see 
“Basic song playback” on page 25).
(2) Press the [Menu] button.
The display now looks as follows:
(3) Use the [√][®] buttons to select the track whose sta-
tus you want to change.
Though the MIDI standard supports 16 tracks (for as 
many MIDI channels), not all tracks are used all the 
time. Finding the track you need may therefore 
require some trial and error. 
The following are almost certainly present in every 
Standard MIDI File:
Track 2: bass
Track 4: melody
Track 10: drums
You may want to use the Repeat function (page 26) 
and start song playback to locate the desired track 
more quickly.
(4) Press [–]/[+] to select one of the following parame-
ters:
Note: Only one track can be soloed at any one time. 
Selecting “Sol” for another track while the first is still in 
solo mode mutes the first track you soloed.
(5) Press the [Exit] button to leave this function.
The status of the various tracks is preserved until you 
change it again, select another song or switch off the 
KR111.
Changing the volume of certain tracks
Here is how to change the volume of song tracks if you 
they are too loud or too soft. The setting range is –64~
63. 
These volume parameters apply to the respective tracks 
of the song you are currently playing back. In most 
cases, you may want to change the volume of track 4 
(melody), 2 (bass) or 10 (drums). Finding another track 
(1, 5~9, 11~16) that’s too loud or too soft may take 
some time, because their usage is more or less free. Be 
aware, however, that not all Standard MIDI Files use all 
16 tracks that are available (so that changing the vol-
ume of track 16 may produce no audible change at all, 
for example).
These are relative parameters: the value you set here is 
subtracted from (negative values) or added to (positive 
values) the song parts’ volume. Note that the upper 
limit (defined by the MIDI standard) is “127”. It may 
thus be impossible to increase the volume of a track 
even by selecting “63” (because the track already uses 
“127”). Select “0” if you like a track’s volume the way it 
is.
Be aware that the changes you make here are not 
saved to a User Program
.
(1) Select the song that contains the tracks whose vol-
ume you wish to change (see “Basic song playback” 
on page 25).
(2) Press the [Menu] button.
The display now looks as follows:
Whole
Refers to the track that contains the part you 
recorded in Piano (page 17) or Piano Arranger mode 
(see p. 35). It is assigned to MIDI channel 1.
Rhythm
Mutes track “10”, which is assigned to the drum 
part of a Standard MIDI File.
