■ SYNC START
This button activates and switches off the “Sync
Start” or “Sync Start/Stop” function. Pressing it sev-
eral times allows you to select one of the following
options:
■ VARIATION [1], [2], [3], [4]
These buttons are used to select the complexity
(number of parts) of the Music Style’s arrangement:
Note that the VARIATION patterns are repeated
(played back in a loop) until select a different pattern
or stop Music Style playback.
■ INTRO
Selects an introduction, which is usually used at the
beginning of a song. You can, however, also select
this pattern for other song sections. The behavior of
the Intro pattern depends on when you press the
[INTRO] button:
There are, in fact, four different INTRO patterns, that
can be selected using the VARIATION [1], [2], [3] and
[4] buttons. Again, the VARIATION buttons determine
the complexity of the arrangement.
