■Metronome and Bass Chord Hold
These are two special styles designed for practice purposes; they do not have any of the normal rhythm or accompaniment patterns of the other styles. To call them up, select Page 2 of the Ballroom category by pressing the [P2] button.
●Metronome
This style plays back only a metronome click, without any other rhythm parts. Use this as you would a normal metronome, practicing in time with the click. You can adjust the tempo with the data dial. Playing chords in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard produces corresponding bass notes and chords, just as in Bass Chord Hold below. There are five different metronome settings, each with a different time signature.
●Bass Chord Hold
Even with the auto accompaniment turned on, this style does not play any rhythm parts, but simply holds the bass note and chord that correspond to the chord you play in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard. this is convenient for practicing chords without having to play along with a rhythm. There are five different bass note/chord settings, each with different voices.
