Stopping the Style Playback While Releasing Keys (SYNC. STOP)
When the Synchro Stop function is engaged, accompaniment playback will stop
completely when all keys in the Auto Accompaniment section of the keyboard are released.
Accompaniment playback will start again as soon as the key in the Auto Accompaniment
section is played.
Fade-in/Fade-out
The accompaniment style also include a convenient Fade-in/Fade-out function that
gradually fades in and fades out the accompaniment. To start the style with a fade-in,
press the
[FADE IN/OUT] button, then turn SYNC. START on. To cancel the fade-in
before starting the style, press the button again.
To fade out and stop the Style, press this button while the style is playing. The time of the
fade-in/fade-out can also be set (page 151).
• Styles can also be started
by pressing the STYLE
[START/STOP] button.
• You can select the Intro
and Ending type by press-
ing the [E] button in the
MAIN window (page 69).
• If you press the [INTRO]
button while the ending is
playing, the Intro section
will begin playing after the
ending is finished.
• When the [AUTO FILLIN]
button is set to on and you
press a MAIN button while
the ending is playing, fill-in
accompaniment will
immediately start playing,
continuing with the Main
section.
• You can begin the accom-
paniment by using the
Ending instead of the Intro
section. In this case, the
auto accompaniment
doesn’t stop when the
ending is finished.
• If you select a different
style while the style is not
playing, the “default”
tempo for that style is also
selected. If the accompa-
niment is playing, the
same tempo is maintained
even if you select a differ-
ent style.
• When STOP ACMP is set
to on and the accompani-
ment is not playing, you
can play both chords and
bass in the Auto Accom-
paniment section in the
keyboard (page 141).
