Examples: Changing Style without stopping the accompaniment

8.Before the Fill, Intro or Ending cycle finishes, se- lect a different Style and one of its Variations.

The new Style interrupts the cycle and starts playing at the end of the current Fill, Intro or Ending measure. The selected Variation now starts playing.

▶Hint The Fill breaks into the arrangement immediately and the relative cycle usually plays for one measure only, unless the Fill button is held pressed for a period. The Intro and Ending patterns start their relative cycles at the end of the current measure and can last for more than one measure. Therefore, when changing Styles, the Intros and Endings give you more time to select a different Style.

9.Play freely.

10.Select another Style and press INTRO or ENDING immediately.

The Intro and Ending of the new Style are played, then the new Style starts to play the selected Variation.

▶Hint: You can switch Styles quickly by activating DISPLAY HOLD to lock the Style selection window

11.Press START/STOP or ENDING to stop the accom- paniment.
