● Fade in/out...............The [FADE IN/OUT] button can be used to produce smooth fade-ins and
fade-outs when starting and stopping the accompaniment. This also applies
to song playback. page 109
● Tap...........................The auto accompaniment can be started at any tempo you desire by “tapping”
out the tempo with the [TAP TEMPO] button. page 109
● Syncro Stop.............When the Synchro Stop function is engaged, accompaniment playback will
stop completely when all keys in the auto-accompaniment section of the key-
board are released. Accompaniment playback will start again as soon as a
chord or note is played. page 110

• The indicator of the destination section (MAIN A/B/C/D) will flash while the corresponding fill-in is playing. During this time you can change
the destination section by pressing the appropriate MAIN [A], [B], [C] or [D] button.
• An Intro does not necessarily have to be at the beginning! If you want, you can play an Intro section in the middle of your performance by sim-
ply pressing the [INTRO] button at the desired point.
• Watch your timing with the Break sections. If you press a [BREAK] button too close to the end of the measure (i.e., after the final eighth note),
the Break section starts playing from the next measure. This also applies to the Auto Fill-in.
• If you want to come back into the style right away after an Ending, simply press the [INTRO] button while the Ending section is playing.
• If you press one of the [MAIN] button while the ending is playing, a fill-in will immediately start playing (when the [AUTO FILL IN] is turned on),
continuing with the main section.
• If you press the [SYNC START] button while a style is playing, style playback will stop and Syncro Start will be set to on.
• You can begin style playback by using an ending instead of an intro section.
If AUTO FILL IN is set to on, a Fill-in
will automatically play back between
sections when any of the [MAIN] but-
tons are pressed. Even when [AUTO
FILL] is turned off, pressing the same
button of the currently playing section
automatically plays a fill-in before
returning to the same main section.

that is set to play.
●
Red (flashing)
This indicates the section that will
be played next, following the one
whose button is lit up in red (not
flashing).
You can have the ending gradually slow down
(ritardando) by pressing the same [ENDING]
button again while the ending is playing back.
