Using a Fill-in Pattern with a Variation Rhythm

You can also insert a fill-in pattern while a variation rhythm pattern is playing.

To insert a fill-in into a rhythm variation

1While a variation rhythm pattern is playing, press the VARIATION/FILL-IN button to insert a fill-in pattern for the variation rhythm you are using.

Synchro Starting Accompaniment with Rhythm Play

You can set up the keyboard to start rhythm play at the same time you play the accompaniment on the keyboard.

The following procedure describes how to use synchro start. Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to use, set the tempo, and use the MODE switch to select the chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD).

To use synchro start

1Press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button to put the keyboard into synchro start standby.

2Playing a chord and the rhythm pattern starts to play automatically.

NOTE

If the MODE switch is set to NORMAL, only the rhythm plays (without a chord) when you play on the accompaniment keyboard.

If you press the INTRO button before playing anything on the keyboard, the rhythm starts automatically with an intro pattern when you play something on the accompaniment keyboard.

Pressing the VARIATION/FILL-IN button before playing anything on the keyboard causes play to start with the variation pattern when something is played on the keyboard.

To cancel synchro start standby, press the SYNCHRO/ ENDING button one more time.

Finishing with an Ending Pattern

You can end your performances with an ending pattern that brings the rhythm pattern you are using to a natural-sounding conclusion.

The following procedure describes how to insert an ending pattern. Note that the actual ending pattern played depends on the rhythm pattern you are using.

To finish with an ending pattern

1While the rhythm is playing, press the SYNCHRO/ ENDING button.

This causes the ending pattern to play, which brings rhythm accompaniment to an end.

NOTE

The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on when you press the SYNCHRO/ENDING button. If you press the button before the second beat of the current measure, the ending pattern starts playing immediately. Pressing the button at any point in the measure after the second beat results in the ending pattern playing from the beginning of the following measure.
