Quick Guide
Playing with Groove Creator
The Groove Creator function lets you repeatedly play back various rhythm patterns and
phrases (each called a Groove) in various genres, including Hip Hop, House, etc.—for
dynamic, powerful performances. Try out the expressive performance features, such as
changing keys in the left-hand area of the keyboard and rotating the knobs for dynamic
sound variations.
1
Press the [GROOVE CREATOR] button,
and use the dial to select the desired
Groove.
ACMP is automatically turned on, and the key-
board is divided into the Auto Accompaniment
area (page 26) and melody area.
2
Press the [ ] (Start/Stop) button to
start Groove playback.
Yo u can also start playback by pressing any note
in the Auto Accompaniment area (page 26).
During Groove playback, enjoy creating sound
variations via the following operations.
 Turni ng on/off individual tracks via the
[TRACK CONTROL] buttons
 Changing the Section via the [A]–[D] but-
tons
 Using the [MUSICAL CLIMAX] button
When you press the button, a negative count (indi-
cating a lead-in) appears on the display. As the lead-
in approaches 0, the Groove builds in intensity and
variation. When the count reaches 0, it comes to a
musical climax. You can use this as professional
sounding build-up, switching to another section or
another Groove when the count reaches 0 (or even
before, if you want). Moreover, this can also be used
as an Ending; the Groove stops after the count
reaches 0 and an Ending phrase is played.
 Using the Retrigger function
Groove Retrigger is a function which repeats
the first part of the current Groove, for a rhyth-
mic break effect. For details, refer to page 61.

in the Auto Accompaniment area (page 26).
