The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to
produce smooth fade-ins and fade-outs when start-
ing and stopping the accompaniment.
To produce a fade-in, press the [FADE IN/OUT]
button so that its indicator lights before starting the
accompaniment. Then when the accompaniment is
started the sound will gradually fade in. The [FADE
IN/OUT] indicator will flash during the fade-in,
and then go out when full volume has been reached.
To produce a fade-out press the [FADE IN/
OUT] button while the accompaniment is playing.
The indicator will flash during the fade out, then the
accompaniment will stop when the fade-out is com-
plete. The [FADE IN/OUT] button indicator will
remain lit after the fade-out, indicating that the fade-
in mode is engaged. Press the [FADE IN/OUT]
button so that its indicator goes out if you want to
disengage the fade-in mode.

The Auto Mute Function
......................................................................................................................................................
When the EASY SETTING ABC display is se-
lected, or when the F2 SPLIT POINT/ABC MODE
display is selected, the AUTO MUTE LCD button
will appear as long as the MANUAL MIDI BASS
ABC mode is not selected. When this function is
turned
ON certain AUTO BASS CHORD parts will
either stop playing or play with reduced volume
whenever the right-hand keys are played — so that
the accompaniment does not “get in the way” of
what you play on the keyboard. Normal accompani-
ment playback resumes when no right-hand keys are
being played.
NOTES
• The AUTO MUTE function will not work with some styles.
■
Accompaniment Volume
.....................................................................................................................................................
Use the various LCD [▲/▼] controls in the
MIXER ACCOMPANIMENT VOLUME display
to set the best balance between the corresponding
accompaniment parts, and the optimum volume of
the accompaniment parts in relation to the orchestra
part voices.
NOTES
• A Yamaha FC5 footswitch plugged into a rear panel FOOT
SWITCH jack can also be used to activate the fade-ins and fade-
outs functions if the appropriate function is assigned to the
footswitch using the FOOT SWITCH functions described on
page 104.
