During Style Playback
●Main
This is used for playing the main part of the Song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures, and repeats
indefinitely. Each preset Style features four different patterns.
Press one of the MAIN [A]–[D] buttons during Style playback.
●Fill In
The fill-in sections let you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your per-
formance sound even more professional.
Turn on the [AUTO FILL IN] button before starting Style playback or during playback. Then, simply press one of the
MAIN VARIATION (A, B, C, D) buttons as you play, and the selected fill-in section plays automatically (AUTO FILL),
spicing up the auto accompaniment. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly into the selected main section (A, B,
C, D).
Even when [AUTO FILL IN] button is turned off, pressing the same button of the currently playing section automatically
plays a fill-in before returning to the same main section.
●Break
This lets you add dynamic breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more
professional.
Press the [BREAK] button during Style playback.
To Finish Playing
●Start/stop
Styles stop as soon as the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button is pressed.
●Ending
This is used for the ending of the Song. Each preset Style features three different endings. When the ending is finished,
the Style stops automatically.
Press one of the ENDING/rit. [I]–[III] buttons during Style playback. You can have the ending gradually slow down
(ritardando) by pressing the same ENDING/rit. button again while the ending is playing back.
●Fade Out
The Fade Out produces smooth fade-outs when stopping the Style.
Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button during Style playback.
nFor details on setting the fade-in and fade-out time, see page 104.

(page 106).
