Selecting and Playing Styles

Stop the style.
You can do this in one of three ways:
■
Pressing the [START/STOP] button
The style stops playing immediately.
■
Using an Ending section
Press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button. The style stops after the Ending
section is finished.
■
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 area of the keyboard
(or any key when accompaniment is off).
Changing the Tempo
The Tempo of song (and style) playback can be adjusted over a range of 10 - 60
(40 - 240 bpm). For instructions on changing the Tempo, see page 33.
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 cur-
rently 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.
• To have the Ending section grad-
ually slow down (ritardando) as it
is playing, press the [INTRO/
ENDING/rit.] button twice quickly.
• 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 set-
ting of the new style. When
switching styles during playback,
the last tempo setting is main-
tained. (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 46.)
• Fill-in patterns are not available
when one of the Pianist styles
(#81 - #00) are selected.
