• Stop Accompaniment

When [ACMP] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can play chords in the

chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompa-

niment chord. In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”—any valid

chord ﬁngerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in the display.

Here, you can determine whether the chord played in the chord section will

sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.

OFF...............................The chord played in the chord section will not sound.

STYLE...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the

Voices of the selected Style.

FIXED...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the

speciﬁed Voice, regardless of the selected Style.

• OTS Link Timing

This applies to the OTS Link function (page 51). This parameter determines the

timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–

[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.)

Real Time.....................One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you

press a MAIN VARIATION button.

Next Bar...................... One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after

you press a MAIN VARIATION button.

• Synchro Stop Window

This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function

is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this

is set to a value other than “OFF,” this automatically cancels the Synchro Stop

function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently

resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have

the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys sooner than the time set

here, the Synchro Stop function works.

• Style Touch

Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to “ON,” the

Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in the chord section of

the keyboard.
