accompaniment
Adding an intro
You can add an intro to the beginning of the automatic accompaniment. After the intro
has been played, the variation will begin playing.
Each rhythm style has two intros and two endings.
• When you press the [INTRO/ENDING 1] switch, an intro or ending with a chord
progression will be played.
• When you press the [INTRO/ENDING 2] switch, a simple intro or ending with-
out a chord progression will be played.
1
Press the [INTRO/ENDING 1] switch or the [INTRO/ENDING 2]
switch
The indicator of the switch you pressed will light. At this time, the [VARIATION 1–
4] switch whose indicator is blinking shows the variation that will be used after the
intro.
2
Press the [START/STOP] switch
The automatic accompaniment intro will play.
When the intro is finished, the performance will switch to the variation that is blink-
ing.
The indicator of the [INTRO/ENDING 1, 2] switch you selected will be lit while the
intro is playing, and dark when the variation begins playing.
To repeat the intro
While the intro is playing, press the same [INTRO] switch, and that intro will begin
repeating. If you press the other [INTRO] switch, one of the [VARIATION 1–4]
switches, or one of the [FILL 1, 2] switches, this repetition will be canceled.
To cancel the intro
Before starting automatic accompaniment, you can press a [VARIATION 1–4]
switch to cancel the intro.
After starting automatic accompaniment, you can press the [START/STOP] switch
to stop playback and cancel the intro selection. (Once the intro has started, it cannot
be cancelled by pressing a [VARIATION] switch.)
Adding an ending
1
While automatic accompaniment is playing, press the [INTRO/
ENDING 1] switch or the [INTRO/ENDING 2] switch
The ending will be played, and then the accompaniment will stop automatically.
The switch indicator of the selected ending will continue blinking until the play-
back switches to that ending. After the ending has begun, the indicator will be lit
until playback ends. After the ending, automatic accompaniment will stop automat-
ically.
To cancel the ending while it is playing
After the ending has begun, pressing a [VARIATION 1–4] switch or [Fill 1, 2] switch
will cause playback to switch to the accompaniment of the selected variation at the
next beat or measure, and automatic accompaniment will continue.
