Solo Styleplay

This sophisticated feature not only provides auto-
matic rhythm, bass and chord accompaniment, but it
also adds appropriate harmony notes (two or three
harmonized notes) to a melody you play on the upper
keyboard.

SOLO STYLEPLAY
Press the [SOLO STYLEPLAY] button to turn the SOLO STYLEPLAY mode
on. The SINGLE FINGER mode is automatically selected when SOLO
STYLEPLAY is turned on, unless the FINGERED mode is already selected. If a
FULL KEYBOARD mode is selected, the FINGERED mode will automatically
be selected since Solo Styleplay cannot be used with the FULL KEYBOARD
modes.
Select an accompaniment style using the style selectors (see "Style Selection"
on page 17). An appropriate voice for the selected style will automatically be se-
lected, but you can also select any other voice after selecting the style.
Set the desired tempo if necessary using the TEMPO [ ] and [ ] buttons (see
"Tempo Control" on page 17).
Play the required chords (SINGLE FINGER or FINGERED) on the ABC
section of the keyboard while playing a melody line on the upper keyboard (for
some styles, only one note can be played at a time on the right-hand section of the
keyboard in the Solo Styleplay mode).
Press [START/STOP] or [INTRO/ENDING] to stop the accompaniment.
Press the [SOLO STYLEPLAY] button again to turn the function off.
It is possible to apply the harmonization type and voice from a different style to
16BEAT
BALLAD
the selected style by pressing the style selector corresponding to the harmonization
16BEAT
POP
type you want to use (except for the [DISK STYLE 1/2] selector) while holding the
[SOLO STYLEPLAY] button — the selected STYLE button indicator will flash
BOSSA
while the [SOLO STYLEPLAY] button is held. This makes it possible, for exam-
SAMBA
ple, to use the solo styleplay harmonization type and voice from the 16 BEAT
BALLAD style when actually playing in the POP style.
If the FOOT SWITCH function is set to SOLO STYLEPLAY after the
SOLO STYLEPLAY mode is selected, harmonization of notes played on the right-
hand section of the keyboard only occurs while the FOOT SWITCH pedal is
pressed. This allows you to combine normal ABC type performance with SOLO
STYLEPLAY as required.
The FOOT SWITCH SOSTENUTO function can not be selected while SOLO
STYLEPLAY is on.
• The SOLO STYLEPLAY mode will be disengaged if the ABC FINGERED or
NOTES
SINGLE FINGER mode is turned off or the FULL KEYBOARD ABC mode is
turned on.
