The Style controls

The keys and controls of the Style functions are explained in the next few
paragraphs.
START/STOP
Starts or Stops the automatic accompaniments (Styles). When recording
a Song Style, this key will be used to start the Style: the Song Style will be
recorded by the Sequencer area with the PLAY/STOP key.
While the Style or Song is playing, the display shows 4 tempo monitoring
indicators next to the metronome icon.
Before pressing START/STOP you can preset one of either INTRO, FILL
or ENDING play as an introduction to the Style.

KEY START

This function synchronises the start of the automatic accompaniments
with a note pressed on the lower split keyboard without having to use
START/STOP (if you are not playing in Free Style mode, you can start the
accompaniment playing in the lower keyboard section).
Key Start can be disabled by:
• pressing ENDING: the Style runs freely to the end;
• pressing Key Start once again: the Style terminates.
Key Start is not disabled when:
• pressing START/STOP to interrupt the Style;
• pressing INTRO, ENDING, or FILL before starting the Style.
Key Start function can be enabled or disabled also when a Style is playing.
INTRO
Plays an introductory sequence of one or two measures. After pressing
INTRO (the corresponding display indicator turns on), press START/STOP
to start the Style with the Intro.
INTRO can also play as a Fill In if pressed during Style play.
ENDING
Stops a Style accompaniment with an ending ("coda"). The corresponding
display indicator turns on when ending is selected.
If you preset ENDING before Style start, it plays as an Introduc-
tion
