Playing with Styles—Operations While
Performing
If you've made all desired settings for a single song (in the previous sections), now you're ready to play the key-
board. This section mainly explains the various Style-related operations you'll use during your keyboard perfor-
mance: Style playback, applying expressive effects, and Multi Pad playback.

Operating Style Playback

Starting and stopping Style playback
 [START/STOP] button
Starts playback of the rhythm part of the current Style. To stop playback, press the button
again.
Playing back both rhythm and auto accompaniment (ACMP)
If the [ACMP] button is turned on, both the rhythm part and auto accompaniment can be
played back when playing chords in the chord section during Style playback.
 [SYNC START] button
This puts the Style playback in "standby." The Style starts playing back when you press
any note on the keyboard (when [ACMP] is off) or you play a chord with your left hand
(when [ACMP] is on). While a Style is playing back, pressing this button stops the Style
and puts playback in standby.
 [SYNC STOP] button
You can start and stop the Style any time you want by simply playing or releasing the keys
in the chord section of the keyboard. Make sure that the [ACMP] button is on, press the
[SYNC STOP] button, then play the keyboard.
 INTRO [I]–[III] buttons
Genos features three different Intro sections that let you add an introduction before starting
the Style playback. After pressing one of the INTRO [I]–[III] buttons, start playback of the
Style. When the Intro finishes playing, the Style playback automatically shifts to the Main
section.
 ENDING/rit. [I]–[III] buttons
Genos features three different Ending sections that let you add an ending before stopping
Style playback. When you press one of the Ending [I]–[III] buttons while Style is playing
back, the Style will automatically stop after the ending is played. You can have the ending
gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the same ENDING button once again, while
the ending is playing.
