■ Starting the accompaniment
You can use one of four ways to start the accompaniment.
In all of these types, make sure to first press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to enable the auto accompaniment.
You may also want to have an intro play to start the accompaniment. To do this, press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] but-
ton. The intro starts with one of the methods below, followed by the main pattern.
● Starting right away
Press the [START/STOP] button. This immediately starts the rhythm part of the accompaniment. Bass and
other backing parts play as soon as you play chords in the auto accompaniment area of the keyboard.
● Starting with a chord
Press the [SYNC START] button. (The [START/STOP] button flashes.) This sets the Synchro Start function to
stand-by, letting you start the full accompaniment simply by playing a chord in the auto accompaniment area of
the keyboard.
● Starting with a chord, and stopping when you release the keys
Press the [SYNC STOP] button. (The [START/STOP] button flashes.) This sets the Synchro Start function to
stand-by, letting you start the full accompaniment simply by playing a chord in the auto accompaniment area of
the keyboard.
It also lets you instantly stop the accompaniment by releasing your fingers from the keyboard. Synchro Start
stays in stand-by, so you can alternately start and stop the accompaniment by playing and releasing chords in
the auto accompaniment area of the keyboard.
● Starting with a count—tapping the tempo
Start the song by tapping out the basic beat with the [TEMPO/TAP] button—four times for a time signature of
4/4, three times for 3/4. The accompaniment starts automatically at the tempo you tapped.
