THE STYLE CONTROLS
In the next paragraphs are explained the style buttons and controls.
This button STARTS or STOPS the automatic accompaniments (Styles).
START/STOP
KEY START
This function synchronises the start of the automatic accompaniments
with a note pressed on the lower split keyboard without having to use
START/STOP (if you are not playing in Free Style mode, you can start the
accompaniment playing in the lower keyboard section).
Key Start can be disabled by:
• pressing ENDING: the Style runs freely to the end;
• pressing Key Start once again: the Style terminates.
Key Start is not disabled when:
• pressing START/STOP to interrupt the Style;
• pressing INTRO, ENDING, or FILL before starting the Style.
Key Start function can be enabled or disabled also when a Style is playing.
INTRO
Plays an introductory sequence before the style pattern playing. After
pressing INTRO (the corresponding display indicator turns on), press
START/STOP to start the Style with the Intro. INTRO can also be enabled
during the normal Style playing.
Stops a Style accompaniment playing an ending (“coda”). The corre-
sponding display indicator turns on when ending is selected. If you pre-
set ENDING before Style start, it plays as an Introduction
ENDING
These buttons select 4 different VARIATIONS of the same Style. Each VARIATIONS represent a differ-
ent level in musical richness and complexity of the style backing arrangements.
VARIATIONS VAR 1, VAR 2, VAR 3, VAR 4
Before starting the accompaniment, you can decide in which Variation you wish to play. While you are
playing, you can switch from a Variation to another by simply pressing the desired Variation button. An
appropriate INTRO, a FILL and ENDING are associated to each Variation.
