Using INTRO

The MD-1200’s INTRO feature lets you start the selected auto-rhythm with a light, 3- to 8-measure introduction that blends easily into the selected rhythm.

To start a rhythm with an introduction, select and enter the rhythm, then press INTRO. The introduction plays, then the selected auto-rhythm automatically starts.

Using FILL-IN

The FILL-IN feature lets you insert a short (1- to 2-measure) fill-in segment of a selected auto-rhythm.

To insert the fill-in segment, press and release NORMAL/FILL-INwhile the auto- rhythm is playing. The MD-1200 inserts

a1- to 2-measure variation in the rhythm, then the original rhythm auto- matically resumes.

Using VARIATION

Each of the MD-1200’s 100 preset auto- rhythms has a built-in variation (alter- nate) to its normal beat pattern. The variation differs slightly from the normal rhythm, so it is almost like having two rhythms in one!

To play the alternate rhythm, press VARIATION/FILL-IN. The variation plays continuously at the selected tempo.

To insert the fill-in segment in the alter- nate rhythm, press VARIATION/FILL-IN.

The keyboard adds a 1- to 2-measure variation in the rhythm.

To return to the normal rhythm, press NORMAL/FILL-IN.

To stop the auto-rhythm, press START/ STOP.

Using ENDING

To end the selected rhythm with a spe- cial 3- to 8-measure flourish, press SYN- CHRO/ENDING while the auto-rhythm is playing, about 3–8 measures before you want the rhythm to end. The MD-1200 plays a special ending, then automati- cally stops the rhythm.

USING AUTO-ACCOMPANIMENT

The 18 keys on the left side of the key- board with note labels above them are called accompaniment keys.

You can set the MD-1200 to play three different types of auto accompaniment.

Concert Chord — lets you play chords on the accompaniment keys using chord formations of from one to four notes. The number of keys you press deter- mines the type of chord that plays.

Standard Fingering — lets you play chords on the accompaniment keys us- ing standard chord formations of three or four notes (see “Standard Fingering” on Page 20).
