<< Reference #3 >>
It seems difficult to control the Rhythm functions of the
PSS-795, where even one style has many kind of Patterns,
so we have provided a few hints.
>> You can start the Rhythm with an Intro.
right away by: (a) selecting a Rhythm Style, (b) pressing
the INTRO ON/OFF button, and (c) pressing the
SYNCHRO START/STOP button. Now you are in
SYNCHRO START Stand By position. As soon as you start
to play with the touch of your first key, the Rhythm with an
Intro. will start.
>> If you press the BRIDGE or FILL TO
NORMAL button while the Normal pattern is running,
you can play in another mood switching to the Bridge
pattern. If you need more variation, simply select another
Rhythm Style without stopping the rhythm running. And
you may go into entirely different mood at the same Tempo.

>> If you assign Percussion Sounds
beforehand to each Pad in convenient locations, it can
be a great technique when performing, to add your own
Fills and Percussion accents. For example: while one hand
continues to play the melody, use the other to play a Fill on
the Pads. And of course, you can always depend on the
FILL TO BRIDGE or FILL TO NORMAL buttons, for
excellent effects in your playing.
>> While you are playing, you can simulate a
Drum Solo by pressing the PAD ASSIGN button and
play using the keys corresponding to Percussion Sounds
shown above each key (or alternatively, enter Voice
number 96 which is PERCUSSIONS).
>> You can top off your performance with
flair, by making use of the provided Endings when you
press the SYNCHRO START/ENDING button.
