Selecting and Playing Styles

Start the style.

You can do this in one of the following ways:

Pressing the [START/STOP] button

The rhythm starts playing immediately without bass and chord accompani-
ment. The currently selected Main A or B section will play.

You can select the Main A or B section by pressing the appropriate button —
[MAIN A/B] — before pressing the [START/STOP] button. (The display
briefly shows the letter of the selected section: “MAIN A” or “MAIN B.”)

Using Tap Tempo to Start

This useful feature lets you tap out the speed (tempo) of the style and auto-
matically start the style at that tapped speed.

Simply tap the [TEMPO/TAP] button four times (or three times for a 3/4
time style), and the style starts automatically at the tempo you tapped. You
can also change the tempo while the style is playing by tapping the
[TEMPO/TAP] button twice at the desired tempo.

Using Sync Start

The DGX-202 also has a Sync Start function that allows you to start the style
by simply pressing a key on the keyboard. To use Sync Start, first press the
[SYNC START] button (the beat marks all flash to indicate Sync Start stand-
by), then press any key on the keyboard. (When auto accompaniment is on,
play a key or chord in the auto accompaniment area of the keyboard.)
