Yamaha Portatone Stop the accompaniment, Using an Ending section, Pressing the SYNC-START button

AUTO ACCOMPANIMENT — THE STYLE MODE

About the Beat Display

The dark bars underneath the style name in the display flash in time with the current tempo during playback (or Sync-Start standby) of the accompaniment. The flashing bars provide a visual indication of both the tempo and time signature of the accompaniment. (For more information, see page 77.)

4 Stop the accompaniment.

You can do this in one of three ways:

Pressing the START/STOP button

The rhythm/accompaniment stops playing immediately.

Using an Ending section

Press the INTRO/ENDING button. The accompaniment stops after the Ending section is finished.

Pressing the SYNC-START button

This immediately stops the accompaniment and automatically en- ables Sync-Start, letting you re-start the accompaniment by simply playing a chord or key in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard.

•This function can also be controlled by using a connected footswitch. (See page 91.)

•To have the Ending section gradually slow down as it is playing, press the INTRO/ENDING button twice quickly.
