Select Sections as Required
...........................................................................................................................................
Each accompaniment style has a number of sections:
VERSE 1, VERSE 2, CHORUS 1, and CHORUS 2. The
VERSE and CHORUS sections further have more com-
plex SOLO sections. There is also an ENDING section
which is described in step
>
. The INTRO section can be
used to start the accompaniment as described in the preceding
step. The remaining sections — VERSE 1, VERSE 2,
CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2, and the SOLO sections of these
— can be selected manually by pressing the corresponding
section button. It is also possible to select the section that
will follow the INTRO by pressing the appropriate section
button while the INTRO is playing or while the intro
synchro start mode is engaged.
NOTES
• Some INTRO, ENDING, and SOLO sections have their own
chord progressions which play in the current accompaniment
key — the key is shown below the style name in the LCD
display.
●
The SOLO Sections
Although the SOLO sections can be selected manually,
they can also be activated automatically when INTERAC-
TIVE ACCOMPANIMENT is engaged (see page 27). If an
accompaniment is playing and nothing is played on the
keyboard for several measures, the SOLO mode is auto-
matically engaged to “fill out” the accompaniment. When
SOLO is on, not only are the sections more complex, but
they will automatically cycle (VERSE 1

VERSE 2

CHORUS 1

VERSE 1, etc.). If the
SOLO mode is on, it will be automatically disengaged after
you begin playing on the keyboard.
This automatic switching of the solo mode can be
turned off via the Auto Solo function described on page 27.
NOTES
• The SOLO section will be automatically disengaged if it is
turned on prior to starting the accompaniment with an intro-
duction.
