The procedures for performing these operations are the same 
as those performed in the rhythm mode. For details about the 
operation, see “Layering and Splitting Tones” (page E-15).
You also can use the procedure below to easily assign the 
same tone as the right-hand part or left-hand part of the music 
file to the keyboard (UPPER 1 part tone) for manual play.
■To assign the same tone as the right-hand part or 
left-hand part of the music file to the keyboard
1.Perform the procedure under “Turning Off One 
Hand Part and Playing the Other Hand Part on 
the Keyboard (Part Off)” (page E-138) to turn off 
the part you want to play on the keyboard.
 This step is not required if you want to play along on the 
keyboard while playing back both hand parts.
2.While holding down the L-8 ([E] PIANO 
RHYTHMS) button, press the L-9 ([F] USER 
RHYTHMS) button.
 This assigns the tone of the part that is turned off to the 
UPPER 1 part.
 If both parts are on or off, the right-hand part of the 
music file is assigned to the UPPER 1 part.
3.This starts playback of the music file. Play the 
part you want on the keyboard.
1.Enter the card mode and select the MIDI file you 
want to play.
2.Press the L-17 (PLAY/STOP) button to start 
playback.

You can transfer rhythm data from other models by loading it 
from a memory card, or by using Data Manager to transfer the 
data from a computer to Digital Keyboard memory. For 
information about actual operations, see “Importing Data from 
Various Storage Media” (page E-142).
 Use of a memory card with a capacity that is less than 2GB 
is not supported. If you want to use other model rhythm 
data that is on a memory card with capacity less than 2GB, 
you need either to copy the data to a supported memory 
card on the Digital Keyboard, or use Data Manager to 
transfer the data from a computer to the Digital Keyboard. 
For more information, see “Importing Data from Various 
Storage Media” (page E-142). Also note that rhythm data 
from some models needs to be converted before it can be 
used on this Digital Keyboard. For more information, see 
“Rhythm Data Compatibility” (page E-141).
The procedure you need to use to import or transfer rhythm 
data to Digital Keyboard memory depends on the media 
(computer local disk, memory card) where the data is 
currently stored. This section explains each of the required 
procedures.
 For details about Data Manager, see “Storing and Loading 
Digital Keyboard Memory Data” (page E-141).
 For information about the types of memory cards supported 
by the Digital Keyboard, see “Using a Memory Card” (page
