Playing back
1. Take the steps described in “Preparing audio files” on
page 19.
2. Press the [PLAYER] buon to enter Player mode.
The [SD Card] buon lights.
The display shows the number of the audio les stored
on the SD card. The rst item of data on the SD card is
selected. The audio les in the PLAYER folder of the SD
card are shown by the STAGEMAN 80 in alphabetical
order of their le name.
3. Use the [M1]–[M8] buons to select the folder on the SD
card that contains the song you want to play.
The buon corresponding to the selected folder blinks.
See page 26 "Folder and file structure"
4. Press the [
] buon to play the le.
When the le has nished playing, the next le plays.
When all les in the SD card have played, playback stops.
Tip: This is because with the default seings, Loop/
Auto is on, and the operating mode is LP:C1. You can
change this mode (see page 24 “Loop/auto-consecutive
playback function”).
5. You can use the [F1] or [F2] buons to select an audio le
to play.
6. Use the RHYTHM/PLAY knob to adjust the playback
volume of the audio le, and use the VOLUME knob to
adjust the overall volume.
7. During playback, you can use the VALUE dial to change
the playback speed.
You can adjust the speed in the range of ±25%.
The display indicates the value for approximately one
second, and then returns to showing the playback
position.
8. During playback, you can press the [
] buon to
pause.
If you press the [VAR] buon, playback stops and you
return to the beginning.
9. Press the [
] buon once again to start playback
from the paused location.
Tip: In Player mode, you can use the playlist function to
play only the les you want in a specic order (see page 24
“Playlist function”).
Recording your own performance
together with the audio le playback
