Additional Music Style functions
Adding yet another Arranger part (Style Pad)
The SESSION PARTNER buttons can also be used for the “STYLE PAD” function. That allows you to add a part to Arranger playback, which is not part of the Music Style itself (either in ROM or on floppy).
Like the DJ PAD function (see p. 9), the STYLE PAD function provides eight different phrases you can access via the SESSION PARTNER but- tons [1/9]~[8/16]. (And there are also sets, see below). And like for the DJ PAD function, the key of the phrases depends on the chords you play in the left half of the keyboard.
Here, however, you can only use one phrase at a time.
(1)Press the KBD MODE [ARRANGER] button (its indicator lights).
ARRANGER
(3)Press the [STYLE PAD/DJ PAD] button. The STYLE PAD indicator must light.

(4)Press [START/STOP] to start Arranger play- back.
(5)Use the SESSION PARTNER [1/9]~[8/16] buttons for starting playback of the desired additional Arranger phrase. Press it again to switch off Style Pad play- back. Press another [1/9]~[8/16] button to start the phrase assigned to that button. The previously selected phrase will be switched off (if it is still running).
(2)Select the desired Music Style (see p. 14). This also determines which phrase set is selected automatically. See below for details.
The Style Pad function is also available while Arranger playback is stopped. And even in that case, its key (pitch) changes as you play different chords in the left half of the keyboard.
Note: Do not press the [TRACK] button, because that would switch off the STYLE PAD function (and instead activate the mute on/off function, see above).
Selecting another phrase set
As stated earlier, selecting an internal Music Style automatically specifies the set of eight phrases you can start/stop via the SESSION PARTNER [1]~[8] buttons. You can, however, override this automatic selection:
(1)Press and hold the [FUNCTION] button, while pressing the BANK/NUMBER [3] button.

(2)Use the [TEMPO/DATA] dial to select one of the following sets:
01 | Rock | 04 | Dance | 07 | Rock’N | 10 | Latin 2 |
02 | ShBallad | 05 | Pop 1 | 08 | Swing | 11 | Waltz |
03 | Sl Rock | 06 | Pop 2 | 09 | Latin 1 | 12 | Tango |

This selects the “PAD SELECT” function (indi- cated as “PAD” in the upper left corner of the display).
