Auto Accompaniment
You can set up the keyboard to start rhythm play at the same
time you play the accompaniment on the keyboard.
The following procedure describes how to use synchro start.
Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to
use, set the tempo, and use the MODE button to select the
chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CASIO
CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD).
1.
Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button to put
the keyboard into synchro start standby.
2.
Play a chord and the rhythm pattern starts to play
automatically.
• If the MODE button is set to NORMAL, only the rhythm plays
(without a chord) when you play on the accompaniment
keyboard.
• If you press the INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2 before playing
anything on the keyboard, the rhythm starts automatically
with an intro pattern when you play something on the
accompaniment keyboard.
• To cancel synchro start standby, press the SYNCHRO/FILL-
IN NEXT button one more time.
You can end your performances with an ending pattern that
brings the rhythm pattern you are using to a natural-
sounding conclusion.
The following procedure describes how to insert an ending
pattern. Note that the actual ending pattern played depends
on the rhythm pattern you are using.
1.
While the rhythm is playing, press INTRO/
ENDING button 1 or 2.
• The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on
when you press the INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2. If
you press the button before the second beat of the
current measure, the ending pattern starts playing
immediately.
• Pressing the INTRO/ENDING button prior to the first half
beat at the beginning of a measure plays the ending
immediately. Pressing the button after the first half beat of a
measure causes the ending to be played from the beginning
of the following measure.
