The Style controls
Certain buttons on the control panel are dedicated
to the control of the Styles and the selection of
the variation, fill, intro and ending.
START/STOP
Starts or stops the accompaniment playback. The
two LEDs under the button act as a visual metro-
nome: the left LED flashes on the first beat of the
measure (bar) and the right LED’s flashes every
successive beat.
Before pressing START/STOP to start the accom-
paniment, you can pre-select one of either
INTRO, ENDING or FILL.
KEY START
Synchronizes the start of the automatic accom-
paniment with a note pressed on the keyboard
without having to use START/STOP.
KEY START can be turned off by:
• pressing START/STOP to start the accom-
paniment.
• pressing ENDING while the accompaniment
is playing.
• pressing KEY START once more to deacti-
vate the function.
Key Start is not turned off by:
• pressing START/STOP while the accompa-
niment is running.
• pressing INTRO, ENDING or FILL before
starting the accompaniment.
KEY START can be used in various situations.
The most common use is as follows:
1. Make sure that ARRANGE MEMORY or
LOWER MEMORY are on.
Note: If ARRANGE MEMORY or LOWER
MEMORY are off, the accompaniment plays while
your notes are pressed on the keyboard and stops
instantly when the notes are released. If, instead,
one of these two functions are active, the accompa-
niment of the drum track will continue playing after
releasing the keys
.
2. When the accompaniment is not playing,
press KEY START (if not already activated).
3. You can press one of INTRO, FILL or END-
ING to Performance the relative function. The
LED of the function activated remains on.
4. Play a chord with your left hand. The ac-
companiment starts immediately (eventually
preceded by the introductory pattern if se-
lected. The LED of the intro function selected
remains on until the cycle of the relative intro
function is complete).
Note: If the recognition mode in «Arrange
Mode» is Auto Chord Mode, when the keyboard is
split the chord will only be recognized below the
Split point, while in the Full Keyboard mode, the
chord can be played at any point along the
keyboard.
5. Stop the accompaniment with START/STOP.
KEY START is still on.
6. Play a chord with your left hand. The ac-
companiment starts playing again.
7. Press ENDING or START/STOP to stop the ac-
companiment. ENDING turns KEY START off.
8. If you have stopped the accompaniment us-
ing START/STOP, press KEY START to turn
it off.
