The Cancel2 chord is triggered by pressing any four adjacent keys simultaneously in the chord detection
area. The lowest note of the four keys being pressed is recognized as the root of the chord, and its name is
shown as Cancel/ root note, such as Cancel/C. When a Cancel2 chord is triggered, the style continues to
play the percussion channels and the bass channel based on the root note of the chord, while other channels
are muted.
The use of Cancel and Cancel2 chords allows more exibility in Style playing.
The Phrase Pad does not support the Cancel and Cancel2 chords.
Style Playback
Style Variations
There are many preprogrammed variations of automatic accompaniment.
• [INTRO 1] - [INTRO 3]
An Intro is usually used at the beginning of the music. This instrument features three built-in Intro sections.
Press one of the [INTRO 1] - [INTRO 3] buttons before starting style playback. The [INTRO] button LED will light up.
Press the [START/ STOP] button or play a chord on the keyboard (if [SYNC START] is enabled) to start playing the
Intro pattern.
If a style is playing when an [INTRO] button is pressed, the Intro will start at the next measure and the main section
will begin playing after the Intro is done.
• [MAIN A] - [MAIN D]
Main is used for the loop part of the song. This instrument features four built-in Main sections.
Press the [MAIN A] - [MAIN D] buttons during style playback to shift between dierent patterns. The new Main
section will start playing at the next measure.
When [AUTO FILL IN] is turned on, if you press the [MAIN] button of the current section, it will automatically play a
Fill, which will then transition back to the Main part.
• [FILL IN A] - [FILL IN D]
Putting Fills in your Style performance gives variation to the song between Main parts. This instrument features four
built-in Fill sections.
When the same [MAIN] button is pressed again, the corresponding Fill will be automatically inserted, even if [AUTO
FILL IN] is o.
You can also turn on the [AUTO FILL IN] function, which will automatically add a Fill when you switch between Main
sections.
After the Fill plays, it will automatically return to the Main loop section.
• [BREAK]
When in Style playback, using a Break section can give even more dynamics to the Main section loop.
As the Style plays, press the [BREAK] button to play a Break section in the next measure.
After the Break plays, it will automatically return to the Main loop section.
Tips:
This instrument has a feature called “Auto Break Trigger’ which makes it possible to trigger the Break section
by playing the keyboard with a certain force. This way of triggering a Break section without pressing the
[BREAK] button makes it easier to play.
Break section triggering is o by default. To enable it, please go to “Style & Song”, click “Auto Break Trigger”
to turn it on, and set the appropriate Trigger velocity according to your playing habits.
The Auto Break Trigger function cannot be used in the Smart Full Range chord detection mode. Refer to the
relevant sections for more details.
