Operating Style Playback - Yamaha PSR-A3000 Owner's Manual

Operating Style Playback

To Start/Stop Playing
• [START/STOP] button
Starts playback of the rhythm part of the current Style. To stop playback, press the
button again.
• [ACMP] button
Turns the Auto Accompaniment on/off. When this button is on, both the rhythm part
and Auto Accompaniment can be played back when playing chords in the chord
section during Style playback.
• [SYNC START] button
This puts the Style playback in "standby." The Style starts playing back when you
press any note on the keyboard (when [ACMP] is off) or you play a chord with your
left hand (when [ACMP] is on). While a Style is playing back, pressing this button
stops the Style and puts playback in standby.
• [SYNC STOP] button
Make sure that the [ACMP] button is on, then press the [SYNC STOP] button, and
play the keyboard. You can start and stop the Style anytime you want by simply
playing or releasing the keys in the chord section of the keyboard.
• INTRO [I] – [III] buttons
The instrument features three different Intro sections to add an introduction before
starting Style playback. After pressing one of the INTRO [I] – [III] buttons, start
playback of the Style. When the Intro finishes playing, Style playback automatically
shifts to the Main section.
• ENDING/rit. [I] – [III] buttons
The instrument features three different Ending sections to add an ending before
stopping Style playback. When you press one of the ENDING/rit. [I] – [III] buttons
while Style is playing back, the Style will automatically stop after the ending is
played. You can have the ending gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the
same ENDING/rit. button once again, while the ending is playing.
NOTE
When the Chord Fingering type
(page 53) is set to FULL KEYBOARD
or AI FULL KEYBOARD, Sync Stop
cannot be turned on.
NOTE
The INTRO [I] section consists of only
the Rhythm part while INTRO [II] and
[III] consist of all the parts as well as
the Rhythm part. When you play
INTRO [II] or [III], in order to have the
complete Intro section sound properly,
you need to play chords in the chord
section with the [ACMP] turned on.
NOTE
If you press the ENDING/rit. [I] button
when the Style is playing, a fill-in
automatically plays before the END-
ING/rit [I].
