Operating The Rhythm From The Panel - Yamaha STAGEA ELS-02 Owner's Manual

Rhythm structure
Each rhythm is made up of "sections. " Since each
section is a rhythmic variation of the basic rhythm,
you can use them to add "spice" to your performance
and mix up the beats while you are playing. You can
freely change the section while the rhythm is played
back.
INTRO
This is used for the beginning of the Song. There are three
Intro sections that can be selected with the INTRO [1] – [3]
buttons. When the Intro finishes playing, the rhythm
automatically shifts to the Main section.
