Playing back songs
Note: Please bear in mind that starting playback of the
selected song on disk will erase the song in the USR memory.
Be sure to save it to disk before proceeding (see p. 52).
(5) If necessary, change the song tempo with the
Tempo [+][–] buttons.
Doing so, however, means that the tempo still
changes if the song you are playing back contains
tempo change messages. Furthermore, each time you
jump to the beginning or another position of the
song using [|√¥Reset], [√√¥Bwd] or [Fwd¥®®], the pro-
grammed song tempo is reset.
Note: In Song mode, the KR103 automatically selects the
Piano mode. If you like, you can play along with the song (and
even use the Layer or Lower part).
Note: In certain cases, the display may show the message
XG Light or GM2 rather than a Tone name. Such a
message means that the KR103 is using a Tone that cannot
be selected via the front panel. Such "hidden" Tones ensure
XG/GM2 playback compatibility.

Additional playback functions

Fast Forward, Rewind, and Reset

• To fast forward (jump to a measure later in the
song), press [Fwd¥®®].
Menu Rhythm
Reset Play/Stop
• To rewind (return to a measure that lies before the
current position), press [√√¥Bwd].
The measure indication in the upper right corner of
the display helps you locate the measure you need.
• Press [|√¥Reset] to jump back to the first measure of
the song. You need to stop playback before using the
[|ôReset] button.
Note: In certain cases, [Fwd¥®®] and [√√¥Bwd] may not be
available. This is only the case for very large songs, however.
Note: By pressing [|√¥Reset], [√√¥Bwd] or [Fwd¥®®], you also
recall the song's preprogrammed tempo value.

Repeat function

Another clever feature of the KR103's Recorder is that
you can program playback loops. You can do so during
playback or while the Recorder is stopped.

If you program loops on the fly, i.e. during playback,
the Recorder always memorizes the beginning
(downbeat) of the next measure.
Now we need to tell the KR103 that it is to repeat the
passage between the "A" and "B" measures:
(10) Press [®] to select the following parameter:
REPEAT
(11) Press [+] to set this parameter to "On".
The loop you have just programmed is played back
and the REPEAT icon appears in the display. (Press [–]
to switch the REPEAT function off again.)
(If playback is still running, pressing [Play÷Stop¥®÷ª]
stops it. In that case, you need to press that button
again.)
The Recorder jumps to measure "A" and starts play-
ing. At the end of measure "B", the Recorder immedi-
ately jumps back to the beginning of measure "A" and
continues playing back the passage.
