There are three different ways to start style playback, listed below. Whichever method you choose

you can press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button before starting playback to begin your perfor-

mance an introduction which 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.

● Keyboard Start

Press the [SYNC START] button and the beat indicator in the display will begin ﬂashing, indi-

cating that synchro start “standby” mode has been engaged. If the [ACMP ON/OFF] button has

been turned on, the style will begin playing as soon as you play a chord in the accompaniment

range of the keyboard. If the [ACMP ON/OFF] function is off, playing any key anywhere on

the keyboard will start rhythm-only accompaniment.

● Tap Start

You can supply a count-in at any tempo you like to start playback. Simply tap

the [TEMPO/TAP] button at any tempo — 4 times for time signatures in 4,

and 3 times for time signatures in 3 — and the selected style will begin play-

ing at the tapped tempo.

● Synchro Stop

When this function is selected the accompaniment style will only play while you are playing chords in the

accompaniment section of the keyboard. Accompaniment playback will stop when you release the keys.

Use the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn accompaniment on — the ACMP ON indicator will appear in the

display.

Press the [SYNC STOP] button. The instrument will now function the same was as in the synchro start

standby mode. Style playback will begin as soon as you play a chord in the accompaniment range of the

keyboard, but then accompaniment 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.
