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. BREAK BREAK • The section button lamps are conveniently color-coded as to their particular operation, as described below. G Off The section contains no data and cannot be played. G Green The section contains data and can be played. G Red During style playback, this indicates the section that is currently 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 simply 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.
