Chapter 3. Playing Along with the Built-in Songs

Playing Each Hand Separately
The built-in songs allow you to select the performance part that will be played back. The left-hand performance of the built-in songs is assigned to the [1] button, while the right-hand performance is assigned to the [2] button. The place where each part of the performance is held is called a �track,� and the [1] and [2] buttons are called �track buttons.�
