Groove Variations—Sections
Like the Styles, each Groove features several Sec-
tions, allowing you to add dynamic variations to the
performance. Five Sections (A–D, MUSICAL CLI-
MAX) are available.
Unlike the Styles, however, Groove do not have Sec-
tions dedicated to the beginning or ending of the
Song, such as Intro and Ending. All Sections A–D
will play back repeatedly until stopped manually.

Groove Retrigger Function

This function restarts Groove playback from the
beginning.
1
Press the [GROOVE CREATOR] button,
then rotate the dial to select the desired
Groove.
2
Press the [START/STOP] button or press
any key in the Auto Accompaniment area
to start Groove playback (page 30).
3
By pressing the button of the currently
playing Section, you can restart play-
back from the beginning. Holding down
the button lets loop-play only the top
portion of the Section.
The top portion length (Retrigger Rate) can be
changed by using the knob (page 58).
NOTE
• When recording Groove playback with the Retrigger function,
note that the beat indicator in the display, metronome and
Arpeggio playback is not synchronized with playback of the
recorded Song.
Style and Groove Settings

Changing the Tempo

A Style or Groove can be played at any tempo you
desire—fast or slow—and the tempo can be
changed precisely.
1
Press the [TEMPO/TAP] button to call up
the Tempo value in the display.
2
Rotate the dial to set a tempo from 011 to
280.
Pressing the [+/YES] and [-/NO] buttons simulta-
neously can instantly reset the value to the
default tempo of the current Style or Groove. You
can change the tempo during playback by press-
ing the [TEMPO/TAP] button just twice at the
required tempo.
NOTE
• The above operation applies also to Song or Arpeggio
playback tempo.

Tap Start

You can start play back of the Style, Groove or Song
by simply tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button at the
required tempo—four times for time signatures in 4
(4/4, etc.), and three times for time signatures in 3 (3/
4, etc.).
NOTE
• Tap tempo setting range: 32–280
