Q u i c k G u i d e Try out the Style

■Stopping the accompaniment

The accompaniment can be stopped in the following three different ways.

●Stopping right away

Press the [START/STOP] button to immediately stop the accompaniment.

Accompaniment stops.

●Stopping right away and enabling Synchro Start

Press the [SYNC START] button. This instantly stops the accompaniment, yet also sets the Syn- chro Start function to stand-by (the [START/STOP] button flashes).

●Automatically stopping with an ending pattern

Pressing the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button plays a special ending pattern and the accompaniment stops.

An ending pattern plays and accompaniment stops.

If you press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button again while the ending is playing, the ending pattern smoothly slows down (ritardando) as the accompaniment stops.

■Adjusting the tempo

As you saw in “Starting the accompaniment” above, you can automatically set the tempo for the accompaniment and start it by manually tapping out the beat with the [TEMPO/TAP] button. You can also directly enter a specific tempo value for the accompaniment.

For details, see page 20.

■Changing the instrument voice of the

melody

The instrument sound used for the melody you play with your right hand is the same as that set for the main voice.

Select the desired instrument sound for the Main Voice.

For details, see page 26.

■Use your favorite style with the song

Another highly useful feature is the Easy Song Arranger, It lets you use whatever style you like with the song—for example, playing a ballad with a house arrangement or playing an R&B song with a reggae feel. For details, see page 57.
