Selecting and Playing Styles 4 Stop the style. You can do this in one of three ways: I Pressing the [START/STOP] button The rhythm/accompaniment stops playing immediately. I Using an Ending section Press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button. The style stops after the Ending section is finished. I Pressing the [SYNC START] button This stops the style and automatically enables Sync Start, letting you re-start the style by simply playing a chord or key in the ACMP section of the keyboard (or any key when accompaniment is off). • To have the Ending section gradually slow down (ritardando) as it is playing, press the [INTRO/ ENDING/rit.] button twice quickly. Changing the Tempo The Tempo of song (and style) playback can be adjusted over a range of 40 - 240 bpm (beats per minute). For instructions on changing the Tempo, see page 31. • Each style has been given a default or standard tempo. When style playback is stopped and a different style is selected, the tempo returns to the default setting of the new style. When switching styles during playback, the last tempo setting is maintained. (This allows you to keep the same tempo, even when changing styles.) • You can also use the convenient Tap Tempo function to change the tempo by "tapping" a new one in real time. (See page 44.) Style Sections (Main A, Main B) and Fill-ins While the style is playing you can create dynamic variation in the rhythm and accompaniment by pressing the [MAIN/AUTO FILL] button. This switches between the Main A and Main B sections, automatically playing a fill-in pattern to smoothly lead into the next section. For example, if the Main A section is currently playing, pressing this button automatically plays a fill-in pattern, followed by the Main B section. You can also select either the Main A or B section to start by pressing the [MAIN/ AUTO FILL] button before starting the style. • Fill-in patterns are not available when one of the Pianist styles (#081 - #100) are selected. 46
