Setting Explanation
AUTO SELECT
(default)
Automatically switches the SMF Play Mode to either “INTERNAL” or “EXTERNAL”
depending on the song that is being played.
INTERNAL
The sound of the song that’s playing and the sound on which you’re performing will be
the same. If you switch sounds on the RP102, the sound of the song also changes.
This setting is recommended when you’re playing the internal songs.
A damper resonance (*) eect is applied to the piano sound of the song.
EXTERNAL
The sound of the song that’s playing can be specied independently of the sound that
you’re playing on the keyboard. Even if you switch sounds on the RP102, the sound of
the song won’t change.
This setting is recommended when you’re playing a song le from a USB-connected
computer.
The damper resonance (*) eect is not applied to the piano sound of the song.
* This is the resonance of the overall piano (the sympathetic vibration of strings other than those that were
actually played, and the sympathetic vibration of the entire instrument) that is heard when you hold down
the damper pedal of an acoustic piano.
