Using SYNCHRO

The MD-1600’s SYNCHRO feature lets you synchronize the start of an auto- rhythm with the beginning of your music.

After you select and enter an auto- rhythm, press SYNCHRO/ENDING, then begin playing the keyboard. The rhythm automatically starts to play when you press any key within the first 11/2 octaves of the lower end of the keyboard (the first 18 keys from the left).

Using INTRO

The MD-1600’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.
