FILL IN
You can insert a fill-in pattern any time during the rhythm
performance. Choose from two different fill-in patterns.
1.
Select a rhythm and press the START/STOP
button.
2.
Press the FILL IN 1 or FILL IN 2 button.
• A fill-in pattern is heard immediately for the remainder of
the measure.
• When a FILL IN button is pressed on the last beat of the
measure, the fill-in pattern continues to the end of the
following measure.
ENDING
Finish the rhythm performance with an ending pattern.
1.
Select a rhythm and press the START/STOP
button.
2.
Press the INTRO & ENDING 1 or INTRO &
ENDING 2 button to turn it on.
• An ending pattern is produced, and then the rhythm per-
formance stops.
• If you accidentally press the INTRO & ENDING button in
the middle of the tune, you can press the FILL IN 1 or
FILL IN 2 button. The ending pattern stops, and a fill-in
pattern is produced, after which the normal rhythm per-
formance continues.
Auto Play Chord
Simply by playing a chord on the keyboard, the AUTO PLAY CHORD function automatically plays an accompaniment pattern
which matches perfectly the selected rhythm. With a real accompaniment as a background, you can concentrate on playing the
melody.
How the AUTO PLAY CHORD works
When an AUTO PLAY CHORD mode is selected, an auto-
matic accompaniment which matches the rhythm you have
chosen is played in the chord which you specify with your
left hand. The melody is played with your right hand.
• The accompaniment pattern of the AUTO PLAY CHORD
is composed of 8 parts: DRUMS 1, 2, BASS, ACCOMP
1–5.
• The volume of each part can be adjusted with the buttons
below the display. (Refer to page 31.)
How to play chords
There are four different ways to specify chords on the key-
board.
BASIC mode
For beginning players, a left-hand chord can be specified with
just one finger. You can either press one key on the left key-
board section to specify the root note (one-finger), or play
all the notes of the chord (fingered).
• The LEFT button in the CONDUCTOR turns off. You can
turn it on and the LEFT part will be heard, but when the
LEFT HOLD function is OFF, only the <Fingered> method
can be used to specify chords. (Refer to page 49.)
• When the rhythm is on, even if the keys are released, the
accompaniment continues to play in the specified chord
until you specify another chord.
