Changing Pattern Variation (Sections) During Style Playback
Each Style features four different Main sections, four Fill-in sections and a Break section. By using these
sections effectively, you can easily make your performance sound more dynamic and professional. The
section can be freely changed while the Style is playing back.
 MAIN VARIATION [A] – [D] buttons
Press one of the MAIN VARIATION [A] – [D] buttons to select the desired Main
section (the button lights). Each contains an accompaniment pattern of a few
measures and it plays indefinitely. Pressing the selected MAIN VARIATION
button again maintains the same section, but plays an appropriate fill-in pattern
to spice up the rhythm and break the repetition.
 [BREAK] button
This lets you add dynamic breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment. Press
the [BREAK] button during Style playback. When the one-measure Break
pattern finishes playing, the Style playback automatically shifts to the Main
section.
NOTE
For “Adaptive” Styles, Main
Variations change
automatically depending on
how dynamically you play. For
details, refer to page 53.
Press the selected Main section (lit)
again.
The fill-in of the selected Main section
plays (flashes).
Automatically Changing One Touch Settings with the Main Sections (OTS Link)
One Touch Setting (OTS) is a convenient feature that automatically calls up the most appropriate
panel settings (Voices or effects, etc.) for the currently selected Style. When the [OTS LINK] button
is turned on, pressing a different MAIN VARIATION button (A − D) automatically calls up a One
Touch Setting appropriate for the selected Main section.
NOTE
• You can call up the information window to confirm which Voices are prepared for each Main section (A − D) of the current Style by
pressing the [5] (Info) button. If “Info” is not shown, press the [8] (Close) button to call it up. Gray color for a Voice name indicates that
the corresponding part is currently turned off.
• When using the Adaptive Style function (page 53), the OTS is not called up when the Main sections are changed automatically, even if
the [OTS LINK] button is turned on.
• When you change the Voice after the OTS is called up, or when the Main section is changed without pressing any MAIN VARIATION
buttons (such as when using the Adaptive Style function), you can recall the previous OTS by turning the [OTS LINK] button off and
turning it on again.
Adding a Fill-in when changing the Main section
By default, the Auto Fill-in function is turned on and pressing any of the MAIN VARIATION [A] − [D] buttons as
you play automatically plays a fill-in section. This function can be turned on or off from the display called up via
the Style Selection display
 [6] (Settings)  TAB [l] Settings.
