Playing Patterns
MM6/MM8 Owner’s Manual 23
You learned how to select a Pattern rhythm on the preceding page.
Here we’ll see how to add bass and chord accompaniment to the basic rhythm to produce a full, rich accom-
paniment that you can play along with.
1Select the pattern you want to play (page 22, steps 1–2).
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the MAIN display screen.
2Turn FINGER on.
Press the [FINGER] button.
Press the button a second time to turn the FINGER mode off.
3Turn sync start on.
Press the [SYNC START] button to turn the Sync Start function on.
The “standby” mode will be engaged when the Sync Start function is
turned on.
When sync start is on, the bass and chord accompaniment included in a
pattern will start playing as soon as you play a note to left of the key-
board split point. Press the button a second time to turn the sync start
function off.
