QUICK START On some commercially available Song data, certain settings related to the
Song (such as Voice selection, volume, etc.) are recorded to the first mea-
sure, before the actual note data. When Quick Start is set to “ON,” the
instrument reads all initial non-note data of the Song at the highest possi-
ble speed, then automatically slows down to the appropriate tempo at the
first note. This allows you to start playback as quickly as possible, with a
minimum pause for reading of data.
