The chord progression advances automatically, freeing you up to play the melody.

2. When you press the [Start/Stop] button once more, the

ending is played, and the Rhythm stops.

Additionally, when the [Start/Stop] button’s indicator is lit in red, if you then press the [Start/Stop] button once more, you can immediately stop the intro or ending, even when while these are being played.
