ENDING 1-2 buttons
While the Style is running, these two buttons trigger an Ending,
and stop the Style. Press one of them, and the Style will stop run-
ning with an Ending. If pressed while the Style is stopped, they
act as an additional couple of Intros.
Press them twice (LED blinking) to let them play in loop, and
select any other Style element (Fill, Intro, Variation...) to exit the
loop.
Note: Ending 1 plays a short sequence with different chords, while
Ending 2 plays on the last recognized chord.

Each of these buttons select one of the four variations of the cur-
rent Style. Each variation can vary in patterns and sounds.

These buttons trigger a fill-in. Press them twice (LED blinking)
to let them play in loop, and select any other Style element (Fill,
Intro, Variation...) to exit the loop.
Note: Fill 3 is usually a Break.
Note: This function can be automatically activated by playing
harder the keyboard. See "Velocity Control" on page 95.

TAP TEMPO/RESET
This is a double-function button, acting in a different way
depending on the Style status (stop/play).
Tap Tempo: When the Style is not playing, you can "beat" the
tempo on this button. At the end, the accompaniment starts
playing, using the "tapped in" tempo.
Reset: When you press this button while the Style is playing
back, the Style pattern goes back to the previous strong beat.

SYNCHRO START / STOP buttons
These buttons turn the Synchro Start and Synchro Stop func-
tions on or off.
Start On, Stop Off
In this situation, just play a chord in the chord
recognition area (usually under the split point,
see "CHORD SCANNING section" on page 11)
to automatically start the Style. If you like, turn
one of the INTROs on before starting the Style.
Start On, Stop On

the keyboard momentarily stops the Style run-
ning. If you play a chord again, the Style starts
again.
