Using the Accompaniment Section
■Tempo Control................................................................................................................................................................................
When you select a different style while the accompaniment
is not playing, the “default” tempo for that style is also selected,
and the tempo is displayed on the display in beats per minute.
If the accompaniment is playing, the same tempo is maintained
even if you select a different style.
You can change the tempo to any value between 32 and 280
beats per minute, however, by using the TEMPO [<] and [>]
buttons. This can be done either before the accompaniment is
started or while it is playing. To use the [<] and [>] buttons,
press either button briefly to decrement or increment the tempo
value by one, or hold the button for continuous decrementing or
incrementing.
The default tempo for the selected style can be recalled at
any time by pressing both the TEMPO [<] and [>] buttons
simultaneously.
■Fade-ins and Fade-outs .......................................................................................................................................................
The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth
fade-ins and fade-outs when starting and stopping the accompa-
niment.
To produce a fade-in, press the [FADE IN/OUT] b utton so
that its indicator lights before starting the accompaniment (the
fade-in can be cancelled by pressing the button a second time).
Then when the accompaniment is started the sound will gradu-
ally fade in. The [FADE IN/OUT] indicator will flash during
the fade-in, and then go out when full volume has been reached.
To produce a fade-out press the [FADE IN/OUT] button
while the accompaniment is playing. The indicator will flash
during the fade out, then the accompaniment will stop when the
fade-out is complete. The [FADE IN/OUT] button indicator
will remain lit for a few seconds after the fade-out, indicating
that the fade-in mode is engaged. Press the [FADE IN/OUT]
button so that its indicator goes out if you want to disengage the
fade-in mode.
■Synchronized Stop....................................................................................................................................................................
When the Sync Stop function is engaged, accompaniment
playback will stop completely when all keys in the auto accom-
paniment section of the keyboard are released. Accompaniment
playback will start again when a chord is played. The BEAT
indicators will flash while the accompaniment is stopped.

STOP] button so that its indicator lights. Press the [SYNC
STOP] button again so that its indicator goes out to turn the
Sync Stop function off.
