Operations for Song Playback
This section explains detailed operations and functions related to Song playback
which are not covered in the “Quick Guide.”

■Starting/Stopping a Song

Press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start Song playback, and press the SONG
[STOP] button to stop. In addition, there are several other convenient ways to start/
stop a Song.

Starting Playback

Synchro Start
You can start playback as soon as you start playing the keyboard.
While playback is stopped, simultaneously press the SONG [STOP] and [PLAY/
PAUSE] buttons simultaneously.
To cancel the Synchro Start function, simultaneously press the SONG [STOP] and
[PLAY/PAUSE] buttons simultaneously once again.
•Tap function
This useful function lets you press the [TAP TEMPO] button to tap out the tempo
and automatically start the Song at that tapped speed. Simply tap (press/release)
the button (four times for a 4/4 time signature) while the instrument is in Synchro
Start standby mode, and the Song playback starts automatically at the tempo you
tapped.
Fade In
The Fade In function can be used to produce smooth fade-ins when starting the
Song. To produce fade-ins, press the foot pedal which is assigned to Fade In/Out
while playback is stopped and then press the SONG [PLAY/PAUSE] button to start
playback. For information on the settings, see page 191.

Stopping Playback

Fade Out
The Fade Out function can be used to produce smooth fade-outs when stopping
the Song playback. Press the foot pedal which is assigned to Fade In/Out at the
beginning of the phrase you want to fade out. For information on the settings, see
page 191.
Depending on the particular
Song data, the Style will also
play back at the same time.
Set the Fade In/Out time
The times of the fade-in and fade-out can be set independently. For details,
refer to page 109.
