Auto Accompaniment

Using Synchro Start/Stop while Auto Acompaniment is Playing

Synchro stop is the opposite of synchro start. It causes the currently playing auto accompaniment pattern to stop when the keys in the accompaniment keyboard range are released. This feature is more than just a simple way to stop auto accompaniment play. It plays auto accompaniment only when valid chords are played inside the accompaniment keyboard range.

ŠThe following procedures do not work in the normal Mode, when all lamps above the MODE button are turned off.

Auto Accompaniment in Synchro Stop

The following are the auto accompaniment operations you can perform while the keyboard is in synchro stop (both lamps above the SYNCHRO START/STOP button lit).

ŠPlaying a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range causes auto accompaniment to play (only while the chord note keys are depressed). Releasing the keys causes auto accompaniment play to stop, and the keyboard enters synchro stop again.

ŠPressing the SYNCHRO START/STOP button while playing a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range causes the lamps above the button to go out, indicating that the keyboard is no longer in synchro stop.

With synchro stop, you can easily create a break in auto accompaniment play to allow for ad libbing, and then restart accompaniment when you want.

Using Synchro Stop to stop Auto Accompaniment

ŠSelect a rhythm and adjust its tempo.

ŠUse the MODE button to specify the chord fingering mode you want to use.

1. Press the START/STOP button to start play of the selected rhythm.

2. Press the SYNCHRO START/STOP button.

ŠThis causes the right lamp above the button to light, indicating that the keyboard is in synchro stop standby.

3.Play a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range and then release the keys.

ŠThis causes the auto accompaniment pattern to stop playing and both lamps above the SYNCHRO START/STOP button to light, indicating that the keyboard is in synchro stop.

ŠTo exit synchro stop, press the SYNCHRO START/STOP button twice so the two lamps go out.

ŠThe section below describes what auto accompaniment operations you can perform while the keyboard is in synchro stop.

Finishing with an Ending Pattern

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

To finish with an ending pattern

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

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

ŠThe timing when the ending pattern starts depends on when you press the 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.
