Stopping the accompaniment
The accompaniment can be stopped in the following three different ways.
Stopping right away
Press the [START/STOP] button to immediately stop the accompaniment.
Stopping right away and enabling Synchro Start
Press the [SYNC START] button. This instantly stops the accompaniment, yet also sets the Syn-
chro Start function to stand-by (the [START/STOP] button flashes).
Automatically stopping with an ending pattern
Pressing the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button plays a special ending pattern and the accompaniment
stops.
If you press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] button again while the ending is playing, the ending pattern
smoothly slows down (ritardando) as the accompaniment stops.
Adjusting the tempo
As you saw in “Starting the accompaniment” above,
you can automatically set the tempo for the accompani-
ment and start it by manually tapping out the beat with
the [TEMPO/TAP] button. You can also directly enter a
specific tempo value for the accompaniment.
For details, see page 20.
Changing the instrument voice of the
melody
The instrument sound used for the melody you play
with your right hand is the same as that set for the main
voice.
Select the desired instrument sound for the Main Voice.
For details, see page 26.
Use your favorite style with the song
Another highly useful feature is the Easy Song
Arranger, It lets you use whatever style you like with
the song—for example, playing a ballad with a house
arrangement or playing an R&B song with a reggae
feel. For details, see page 57.
