Playing the Accompaniment Styles
• If the [SYNCHRO] button is pressed
while a style is playing, style playback
stops and Synchronized Start is auto-
matically set to stand-by.
• When you play the keyboard in Split
mode (page 36) or use the Auto Ac-
companiment in a mode other than
FULL KEYBOARD (page 61), only the
left-hand section of the keyboard will
trigger a synchronized start.
To cancel the Synchronized Start func-
tion before you start the style, press the
[SYNCHRO] button again.
If you do not tap the [TAP] button the
required number of times (i.e., 3 times for
a 3-beat style), the Tap Start function will
be canceled after a few seconds.
