The SYNCHRO buttons:
On the iS40, the SYNCHRO START and SYNCHRO STOP buttons function in two ways: The SYNCHRO START button allows you to begin playing an arrangement when you trigger a chord in the chord scanning area. When you activate the SYNCHRO STOP button, the arrangement will only play when you are triggering chords, and will stop when you take your hand off the keyboard.
