The Songs are generally for your listening enjoyment; however, you can also play along with them on the keyboard. Also, by using the Minus One function, you can "mute" the original melody and play it manually on the keyboard yourself. The Jam Track patterns in this mode let you "jam" or play along with a variety of dynamic rhythm styles and chord changes. If playback is not stopped, all Songs play back repeatedly in succession, indefinitely. (However, if Minus One is on, only the selected Song repeatedly plays back. ) If a Jam Track pattern is selected, only the selected pattern repeats indefinitely. About the Minus One Function Selecting and Playing a Song or Jam Track Pattern 1. Press the SONG button to select the Song mode. Minus One, as its name implies, takes away the melody part of the Song, allowing you to play that part yourself.
