Quick Guide During Style Playback ● Main This is used for playing the main part of the Song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures, and repeats indefinitely. Each preset Style features four different patterns. Press one of the MAIN [A]-[D] buttons during Style playback. ● Fill In The fill-in sections let you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. Turn on the [AUTO FILL IN] button before starting Style playback or during playback. Then, simply press one of the MAIN VARIATION (A, B, C, D) buttons as you play, and the selected fill-in section plays automatically (AUTO FILL), spicing up the auto accompaniment. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly into the selected main section (A, B, C, D). Even when [AUTO FILL IN] button is turned off, pressing the same button of the currently playing section automatically plays a fill-in before returning to the same main section. ● Break This lets you add dynamic breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. Press the [BREAK] button during Style playback. To Finish Playing ● Start/stop Styles stop as soon as the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button is pressed. ● Ending This is used for the ending of the Song. Each preset Style features three different endings. When the ending is finished, the Style stops automatically. Press one of the ENDING/rit. [I]-[III] buttons during Style playback. You can have the ending gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the same ENDING/rit. button again while the ending is playing back. n If you press the ENDING/rit. [I] button in the middle of your performance, a fill-in automatically plays before the ENDING/rit. [I]. ● Fade Out The Fade Out produces smooth fade-outs when stopping the Style. Press the [FADE IN/OUT] button during Style playback. n For details on setting the fade-in and fade-out time, see page 108. Others ● Synchro Stop When Synchro Stop is on, you can stop and start the Style anytime you want by simply releasing or playing the keys (in the chord section of the keyboard). This is a great way to add dramatic breaks and accents to your performance. Press the [SYNC STOP] button before starting the Style playback. n • Enable Synchro Stop by pressing/releasing keys (Synchro Stop Window) See page 109. • Fixing the section pattern to either Intro or Main (Section Set) For example, you can set this function to Intro to conveniently have an Intro play automatically whenever you select a Style (page 110).
