To insert the variation rhythm pattern

1Press the START/STOP button to start rhythm play.2Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button.

•If a Variation 1 rhythm is currently playing, this plays Fill-in 1, followed by Fill-in 2, and then switches to the Variation 2 rhythm.

•If a Variation 2 rhythm is currently playing, this plays Fill-in 2, followed by Fill-in 1, and then switches to the Variation 1 rhythm.

•Holding down the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button causes the fill-in pattern to repeat.

Synchro Starting Accompaniment with Rhythm Play

You can set up the digital piano 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 button to select the chord play method you want to use (Normal, CASIO CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD).

To use synchro start

1Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button to put the digital piano into synchro start standby.

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

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 INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2.

•The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on when you press the INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2. If you press the button before the second beat of the current measure, the ending pattern starts playing immediately.

NOTE

•Pressing the INTRO/ENDING button prior to the first half beat at the beginning of a measure plays the ending immediately. Pressing the button after the first half beat of a measure causes the ending to be played from the beginning of the following measure.

NOTE

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

•If you press the INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2 before playing anything on the keyboard, the rhythm starts automatically with an intro pattern when you play something on the accompaniment keyboard.

•To cancel synchro start standby, press the SYNCHRO/ FILL-IN NEXT button one more time.
