Using the Accompaniment Section

■ Tempo Control................................................................................................................................................................................

When you select a different style while the accompaniment

is not playing, the “default” tempo for that style is also selected,

and the tempo is displayed on the display in beats per minute.

If the accompaniment is playing, the same tempo is maintained

even if you select a different style.

You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280

beats per minute, however, by using the TEMPO [<] and [>]

buttons. This can be done either before the accompaniment is

started or while it is playing. To use the [<] and [>] buttons,

press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo

value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or

incrementing.

The default tempo for the selected style can be recalled at

any time by pressing both the TEMPO [<] and [>] buttons

simultaneously.

■ Fade-ins and Fade-outs .......................................................................................................................................................

fade-in can be cancelled by pressing the button a second time).

Then when the accompaniment is started the sound will gradu-

ally 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 complete. The [FADE IN/OUT] button indicator

will remain lit for a few seconds 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.

■ Synchronized Stop ....................................................................................................................................................................

When the Sync Stop function is engaged, accompaniment

playback will stop completely when all keys in the auto accom-

paniment section of the keyboard are released. Accompaniment
