Selecting a song

If the SD7K is not yet in SONG Mode, press the [SONG] button to enter the

Song Menu. Now the [SONG] button will page through the Song Menu. The

Song indicator lights up.

In the SONG Mode, you can select the song number, and adjust the volume of the

song’s accompaniment and drum part. In addition, you can select whether to use

the internal songs or to control an external sequencer.

In Song Number page, the 3-digit LED shows the current song number.

Use the [+] and [-] buttons to select any song (1 ~ 50, looped) as the current Song.

The SD7K includes 50 factory preset songs. (See Song List on page 20.)

Press the [START/STOP] button to start song playback. The beat indicator will ash at the song tempo.

After count-in, the song will start playback from the beginning. The song will stop when it reaches the end.

You can also stop the song during playback by pressing the [START/STOP] button again.

If the song number is switched while playing, the new song won’t start until the end of the current bar.

During song playback in song menu, the Pad indicators will show which pads the drum track is triggering.

This function can be disabled or enabled by pressing the [KICK] button while in song mode.

Press [DRUM OFF] to enable or disable the drum mute function.

When drum off is enabled, the DRUM OFF indicator will light up, and the drum track

from the current playing song will be muted. In Song mode, the Pad indicators

will still show the pads played by the drum track. This allows you to practice

playing the drum part with the rest of the accompaniment.

To help you play together with the song, you can also enable the metronome

function by pressing the [CLICK] button. (See Metronome function for details.)
