Playing with Styles—Operations While
Performing
If you’ve made all desired settings for a single song (in the previous sections), now you’re ready to play the key-
board. This section mainly explains the various Style-related operations you’ll use during your keyboard perfor-
mance: Style playback, applying expressive effects, and Multi Pad playback.
Starting and stopping Style playback
[START/STOP] button
Starts playback of the rhythm part of the current Style. To stop playback, press the button
again.
[SYNC START] button
This puts the Style playback in “standby.” The Style starts playing back when you press any
note on the keyboard (when [ACMP] is off) or you play a chord with your left hand (when
[ACMP] is on). While a Style is playing back, pressing this button stops the Style and puts
playback in standby.
[SYNC STOP] button
You can start and stop the Style any time you want by simply playing or releasing the keys
in the chord section of the keyboard. Make sure that the [ACMP] button is on, press the
[SYNC STOP] button, and then play the keyboard.
INTRO [I]–[III] buttons
The instrument features three different Intro sections that let you add an introduction before
starting the Style playback. After pressing one of the INTRO [I]–[III] buttons, start play-
back of the Style. When the Intro finishes playing, the Style playback automatically shifts
to the Main section.
ENDING/rit. [I]–[III] buttons
The instrument features three different Ending sections that let you add an ending before
stopping Style playback. When you press one of the ENDING [I]–[III] buttons while Style
is playing back, the Style will automatically stop after the ending is played. You can have
the ending gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the same ENDING button once
again, while the ending is playing.
Operating Style Playback
Playing back both rhythm and auto accompaniment (ACMP)
If the [ACMP] button is turned on, both the rhythm part and auto accompaniment can be
played back when playing chords in the chord section during Style playback.
When the Fingering type (page 42) is
set to “Full Keyboard” or “AI Full Key-
board,” Sync Stop cannot be turned on.
