7.3 Starting and Stopping Styles

Starting a Music Style

You may remember that by pressing One Touch Pro- gram [ARRANGER] you also select a number of set- tings, one of which is called Sync Start. Let’s look at that function first.

Starting automatically (Sync Start)

Starting with a musical introduction

You can start Style playback in much the same way as a band or orchestra – with a nice introduction (called Intro). The length of the introduction depends on the Style you selected. Some Intros are two measures long, others eight, and so on.

1.Press the [SYNC] button.

The [SYNC] button’s indicator will light, and the TEMPO and [INTRO/ENDING] indicators will begin flashing.

Now all you have to do is to play a note or a chord in the chord recognition area (either the left half of the keyboard, or anywhere in Piano Style Arranger mode) to start the Arranger.

2.Play a note or chord in the chord recognition area. The Arranger now plays the Intro pattern. The INTRO/ENDING indicator will light, and go off at the end of the Intro.

To cancel Sync Start, just press the [SYNC] button once more.

Shorter/simpler Intro

Press the [SYNC] button (indicator lights).

Press the Fill In [TO ORIGINAL] button (indicator flashes).

Play in the chord recognition area of the keyboard. Style playback will begin with a short Intro.

Starting without an Intro

1.Press the [SYNC] button.

The [SYNC] button’s indicator will light, and the TEMPO and [INTRO/ENDING] indicators will begin flashing.

2.Press the flashing [INTRO/ENDING] button (indi- cator goes off).

3.Play a note or chord in the chord recognition area.

Starting manually

If you prefer to be in complete control of the Arranger and therefore do not want it to start as soon as you play one or several notes, there are two options.

Starting with an Intro

1.If necessary, press the [SYNC] button to switch off the Sync Start function.

Remember that you can now play your own chords and bass notes using the Chord and Bass parts that are automatically assigned to the Lower section of the key- board.

2.Press the [INTRO/ENDING] button to start Style playback with the corresponding Intro.

During the Intro, the [INTRO/ENDING] button’s indicator will be lit. When the Intro is over, the indica- tor will go off.

Starting without an Intro

1.If necessary, press the [SYNC] button to switch off the Sync Start function.

2.Press the [START/STOP] button. The Style will begin playing.

Stopping a Music Style

There are two ways to stop Style playback:

Stopping a Style with an Ending

An Ending is usually referred to as a Coda. This is a musical way of ending a song, some of the most impressive examples can be found in classical music. But also in pop music, a song usually doesn’t just stop. If that is what you are after, here is what to do:

Press the [INTRO/ENDING] button while the Music Style is running.

During the ending, the [INTRO/ENDING] button’s indicator will be lit. When the Ending is over, the indi- cator will go off.

Again, the length of the Ending depends on the Music Style you select.

If you want to shorten/simplify the Ending:

Press the Fill In [TO ORIGINAL] button (indicator starts flashing).

While the [TO ORIGINAL] button’s indicator is flash- ing, press the [START/STOP] button.

Stopping a Music Style immediately

Press the [START/STOP] button.
