To change the variation

Each rhythm style allows you to choose four differ- ent variations.

1	While automatic accompaniment
	is playing, select the “Variation”

Cell

Press the “Variation” Cell, and use the dial or the [VALUE] switches to specify the variation. The accompaniment will switch to the selected variation at the next beat or measure.

“Variation” cell

If you specify “After Fill” in the “Accompani- ment” page (☞ p.44), playback will automati- cally switch to the specified variation after a fill is played. This lets you add variety to the way in which your song develops.

The content of the variations, intros, and end- ings will differ according to the rhythm style.

Adding an intro

You can add an intro to the beginning of the auto- matic accompaniment. After the intro has been played, the variation will begin playing.

Each rhythm style has two intros and two endings.

•When you press the [INTRO/ENDING 1] switch, an intro or ending with a chord progression will be played.

•When you press the [INTRO/ENDING 2] switch, a simple intro or ending without a chord progres- sion will be played.

1	Press the [INTRO/ENDING 1]
	switch or the [INTRO/ENDING 2]
	switch
2	Press the [START/STOP] switch
	The automatic accompaniment intro will

play.

When the intro ends, the accompaniment will switch to the variation you selected in the main page.

The indicator of the [INTRO/ENDING 1, 2] switch you selected will be lit while the intro is playing, and dark when the varia- tion begins playing.

To repeat the intro

If you press the same [INTRO/ENDING] switch while the intro is playing, that intro will continue playing repeatedly. The repeated playback will be cancelled if you press the other [INTRO/ENDING] switch or the [FILL 1, 2] switch, or if you re-select the “Variation” Cell.

To cancel the intro

Before starting automatic accompani- ment, you can press a [FILL 1, 2] switch to cancel the intro.

After starting automatic accompaniment, you can press the [START/STOP] switch to stop playback and cancel the intro selection.

Once the intro has started, it cannot be can- celled by pressing a [FILL 1, 2] switch.

It is also possible to select either fill to be used an intro.
