[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, Style
playback automatically shifts to the Main section.
While playing back a Style, you usually specify chords with your left hand. However, with the convenient Chord Looper
function, you can record a sequence of the chords and play it back in a loop. For example, if you record a “C F G
C” chord progression, Style playback will continue automatically with the chords “C F G C C F G C
...” Since the chords play back in a loop, you don’t need to repeat the chord pattern manually anymore—letting you focus
on your performance and other operations.
Loop playback a chord sequence while playing back the Style
You can record desired chord sequence instantly and loop it.
1 While playing back a Style, press the CHORD LOOPER [REC/
STOP] button.
The [REC/STOP] button flashes to indicate the Chord Looper function is standby
to record.
On the next measure of the Style, the [REC/STOP] button is turned on and the
recording starts.
2 Enter the chords on the keyboard, according to the playback
tempo of the Style.
The chord sequence continues to be recorded until you stop recording in step 3.
