The Style will automatically start playing.

more when the Style has stopped.
[INTRO/END]

the button. On the display under “Tempo”, the tempo which

nome beat).
2. Press [START/STOP]. The style will start in the time you
tapped out.
[FILL BASIC]
Plays a fill (a one or two bar musical “passage”), or - if a Style
variation is playing - plays the fill and then leads back to the
basic version of the Style.
1. While the basic Style is playing, press [FILL BASIC].
2. The fill will cut in (a one or two bar musical “passage”).
3. At the end of the fill the basic Style will continue to play.
alternatively
1. While the Style variation is playing (the [VARIATION] led
is on), press [FILL BASIC].
2. A fill will start playing (a one or two bar musical “passage”
which leads from the variation to the basic Style).
3. After the fill, the Style will revert to playing its basic ver-
sion. (The [VARIATION] led goes out).
[FILL VAR]
Plays the fill and then recalls the Style variation.
1. While the basic Style is playing, press [FILL VAR].
2. A fill will start playing (a one or two bar “passage” which
leads to the variation).
3. After the fill, the Style will play its basic version. (The [VARI-
ATION] comes on).
[VARIATION]
Activates/disactivates the Style variation, that is to say a
slightly different version of the basic Style.
The button led comes on and goes out automatically as but-
tons [FILL VAR] and [FILL BASIC] are pressed.
[ARRANGE]
Activates/disactivates the Bass, Acc1 and Acc2 instrument
parts. When the led is on, all the automatic accompaniment
parts can be heard. If the led is off, only the Drum part is
available.
[AUTOSET]
Activates/disactivates the automatic changing of certain set-
tings when the Style is changed.
If the led is on, when you change the Style then the tempo,
the Upper and Lower Sounds, the part volumes and effects
all change too. If the led is off, when the Style is changed
these settings do not change.
Making up chords using the whole keyboard range
(Freestyle)
Usually, the notes or chords which control the Style must be
played in the left hand section of the keyboard, below the
“split point”. This part of the keyboard corresponds with the
Lower instrument part; the Style chords, however, are recog-
nized even if the keyboard is in the LAYER or SINGLE modes
( and the Lower instrument part is disactivated).
It is possible to free chord recognition from the “split point”
limitation using the Freestyle function. In this mode the chords
for the Style can also be played by the right hand or using the
whole keyboard range.
In the Freestyle mode, a chord of at least three notes must
be formed - using either hand - so that the Style recognizes
the chord. In this way you can freely play a melody, but when
you want to change the Style chord, play a chord of at least
three notes.
To enter this mode press the [FREESTYLE] button to turn
the led on. To exit, press the button so the led goes out. Free-
style disactivates the [SPLIT] button and the Harmony func-
tion.
Stopping a Style on key release (Autostop)
Once the note or chord controlling the Style has been played,
the automatic accompaniment parts continue to play until ei-
ther [START/STOP] or [INTRO/END] are pressed.
Instead, the automatic accompaniment can be made to stop
when your hand is taken away from the keyboard. In order
for this to be possible, the Autostop function must be set to
ON.
1. Press [MIDI]. The instrument is now in the MIDI mode.
2. Run forwards through the “pages” using [PAGE>], until
you reach EXTRA FUNCTION—Autostop:
3. Turn the function ON using [TEMPO-DATA]. To disactivate
the function again, use the [TEMPO-DATA] buttons once
more.
4. Press the two [ESC] buttons again to exit from the MIDI
mode. The settings remain in memory even when the in-
strument has been switched off.
