Player mode

In Player mode you can play back audio files from an SD card.
Audio files of the following formats can be played.
• WAV format (44.1 kHz / 16-bit)
While an audio file plays in Player mode, you can perform
on an instrument connected to the STAGEMAN 80 or record
your performance (see page 19 "Recording your own
performance together with the audio file playback").
A song that you record in Recorder mode cannot be
played back directly in Player mode. It must be converted
into an audio file that can be played in Player mode.
Player mode has the following functions that are useful when
playing audio files.
• A "playlist function" that lets you register audio files in a
playlist and play them in the order you specified.
• A "loop/auto-consecutive playback function" that lets you
loop the playback or automatically play files in succession.
These functions are further explained in this section, "Player
mode." For additional details on basic operation, refer to
"Playing audio files and recording your performance (Player
mode)" on page 19.

connected foot switch to play the next file at the desired
time.
