Synchro Starting Accompaniment
with Rhythm Play
You can set up the keyboard to start rhythm play at the same
time you play the accompaniment on the keyboard.
The following procedure describes how to use synchro start.
Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want
to use, set the tempo, and use the MODE switch to select the
chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CONCERT
CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD).
To use synchro start
1
Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button to put the
keyboard into synchro start standby.
2
Playing a chord and the rhythm pattern starts to
play automatically.
NOTE
• If the MODE switch is set to NORMAL, only the rhythm
plays (without a chord) when you play on the
accompaniment keyboard.
• If you press the INTRO button before playing anything
on the keyboard, the rhythm starts automatically with
an intro pattern when you play something on the
accompaniment keyboard.
• Pressing the VARIATION/FILL-IN button before playing
anything on the keyboard causes play to start with the
variation pattern when something is played on the
keyboard.
• To cancel synchro start standby, press the SYNCHRO/
ENDING button one more time.

Finishing with an Ending Pattern
You can end your performances with an ending pattern that
brings the rhythm pattern you are using to a natural-sounding
conclusion.
The following procedure describes how to insert an ending
pattern. Note that the actual ending pattern played depends
on the rhythm pattern you are using.
To finish with an ending pattern
1
While the rhythm is playing, press the SYNCHRO/
ENDING button.
• This causes the ending pattern to play, which brings
rhythm accompaniment to an end.
NOTE
• The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on
when you press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button. If you
press the button before the second beat of the current
measure, the ending pattern starts playing immediately.
Pressing the button at any point in the measure after
the second beat results in the ending pattern playing
from the beginning of the following measure.
