Ways To Start Style Playback
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
There are four different ways to start style playback, listed below. In all cases you will
need to press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto-accompaniment on before
actually starting style playback.
Whichever method you choose, you can press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] before start-
ing playback. To begin your performance, an introduction will play automatically,
then will automatically switch to the MAIN section when finished.
●
Immediate Start
Press the [START/STOP] button to begin rhythm-only playback of the selected
style. The bass and chords will begin playing as soon as you play a chord in the
accompaniment range of the keyboard.
●
Chord Start
Press the [SYNC START] button and the [START/STOP] button will begin flash-
ing, indicating that the synchro start “standby” mode has been engaged. The style
will begin playing as soon as you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the
keyboard.
●
Synchro Stop
When this function is selected the accompaniment style will only play while you
are playing chords in the accompaniment range of the keyboard. Style playback
will stop when you release the keys.
Press the [SYNC STOP] button. The synchro-start standby mode will be engaged
and the [START/STOP] button will begin flashing. Style playback will begin as
soon as you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the keyboard, but then
Style playback will stop (the synchro start standby mode will be re-engaged) when
you release the left-hand keys. Style playback will continue only while you are
actually playing in the keyboard’s accompaniment range.
Press the [SYNC STOP] button to disengage the synchro-stop mode.
