You can turn the rhythm on/off and switch the sections as desired by pressing the
buttons on the panel. Using the Fill Ins and Break patterns let you add dynamic
interest and "spice" to your performance.
To start/stop the rhythm:
START
The rhythm begins as soon as the [START] button is pressed. To stop the rhythm,
press the button again.
SYNCHRO START
The [SYNCHRO START] button puts the rhythm in "standby. " The rhythm starts
when you press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard. When you start the
rhythm with the [SYNCHRO START] button, pressing this button again stops the
rhythm.
INTRO
Pressing one of the INTRO [1] – [3] buttons automatically adds a short introduction
before starting the actual (Main) rhythm. First press one of the INTRO [1] – [3]
buttons, then press the [START] or [SYNCHRO START] button to actually start the
rhythm.
While the introduction is playing, the BAR/BEAT display shows the countdown to
the first measure of the pattern. For example, if there is a four-measure lead-in for a
pattern in 4/4 time, the display at right appears:
ENDING
Pressing one of the ENDING [1] – [3] buttons automatically adds an ending phrase
before stopping the rhythm. When you press the Ending button while rhythm is
playing back, the rhythm will automatically stop after the ending phrase is played.
You can have the ending gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the ENDING
button once again, while the ending is playing.
NOTE
When you start the rhythm
with [SYNCHRO START]
button, set the Lower/Pedal
Memory to on. When
Memory is off, releasing your
fingers from Lower keyboard
stops the rhythm. For details
on Memory and the A.B.C.
function, see page 82.
NOTE
Pressing the ENDING [1]
button during playback of
the Main section will first call
up the Fill In pattern, then the
Ending 1 pattern.
