■Metronome
The CVP-89 also offers a metronome function that is ideal for practice.
To start the metronome, simply press the [METRONOME] button so that its
indicator lights. The metronome will play at the currently selected tempo whether a
style is playing or not. The metronome volume can be adjusted via the RHYTHM
volume control.
Press the [METRONOME] button again to stop the metronome sound (the
METRONOME indicator will go out). The metronome will also stop automati-
cally if the [START/STOP] button is pressed to stop a style in progress.
NOTES
• If the style is started by pressing the [START/STOP] button while the metronome
is playing, the metronome will continue to sound along with the style.

■Fill-ins
The CVP-89 provides two types of automatic “fill-ins.”
■Fill To Normal: Press the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] button or the left
FILL IN bar (located in front of the keyboard) during playback to produce a
fill-in and go to the normal rhythm.
■Fill To Variation: Press the [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] button or
the right FILL IN bar during playback to produce a fill-in and go to the varia-
tion pattern.
If you hold one of the FILL buttons or bars, the fill-in will repeat until the end
of the measure in which button is released.

■Left-pedal Rhythm Break
When the left-pedal function is set to “Rhythm Break” as described on page 15,
the left pedal can be used to create a break in the rhythm while playing. Press and
release the left pedal to stop the rhythm. Rhythm playback will resume from the top
of the next measure. You can also hold the left pedal for longer breaks — the
rhythm will resume from the top of the next measure after the pedal is released.
The break can be cancelled before the beginning of the next measure by pressing
the pedal a second time.

■Stopping the Accompaniment
The accompaniment can be stopped at any time by pressing the [START/
STOP] button. Press the [INTRO/ENDING] button if you want to go to the
ending pattern and then stop.
NOTES
• If you started with an intro or fill-in, or using the SYNCHRO mode, these selec-
tions are maintained even after the accompaniment is stopped.
• If the left pedal is switched to START/STOP operation, it performs the same
function as the panel [START/STOP] buttons (press to START, press again to
STOP).

●The Beat Display
The four LED dots of the BEAT display provide a visual indication of the se-
lected tempo. The leftmost (red) dot flashes on the first beat of each measure,
the second dot flashes on the second beat, and so on (all dots except the
leftmost dot are green). When a 3/4-time rhythm is selected, only the first three
dots will flash.
