Various ways to start and stop Style playback

Starting Style playback
The following three methods can be used to start Style playback. In all
cases you will need to press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button to turn auto
accompaniment on before actually starting Style playback. Whichever
method you choose, you can press the [INTRO/ENDING/rit.] before
starting playback. To begin your performance, an introduction will play
automatically, then will automatically switch to the MAIN section when
finished.

selected Style.
The bass and chords will begin playing as soon as you play a chord in
the accompaniment range of the keyboard.
■ Chord Start
Press the [SYNC START] button and the beat arrows will begin flash-
ing, indicating that the Sync Start "standby" mode has been engaged.
