To use Synchro Start: • First, press the SYNCHRO START button. This puts the Style in stand-by. (The BAR/BEAT indicator above the TEMPO display flashes at the current tempo.) BAR/BEAT 124 TEMPO • Next, play a note or chord on the Lower keyboard (or a note on the Pedalboard). This starts the Rhythm and the bass/chord Accompaniment. To stop the Accompaniment, press SYNCHRO START again. About Automatic Accompaniment and Playing Chords One of the main advantages of the Styles is that they can be used to create automatic backing parts (accompaniment) for your performance. This accompaniment changes to match the chords you play on the Lower keyboard. Also, when you play a chord, the chord root and type are automatically shown in the display (when Voice Display is selected). For more information on automatic accompaniment and chord recognition, see page 55. About footswitch control: The left footswitch can also be used to turn the Accompaniment on and off functioning as a start/stop switch for the Style. (To assign the footswitch for Style control, see page 154.) Depending on the A.B.C. mode and the Memory setting, the Accompaniment may stop when you release keys on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard. (Refer to page 60 for details on Auto Bass Chord and Memory.) 48 5. Styles (Rhythm and Accompaniment)
