During playback of a Style or Song, you can change the tempo by tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button twice
at the desired tempo. When Style and Song are stopped, tapping the [TEMPO/TAP] button (four times for
a 4/4 time signature) starts playback of the rhythm part of the Style at the tempo you tapped.
Playing Back Only the Rhythm and Bass Parts of the Style
A Style generally consists of eight parts (channels): rhythm, bass and various accompaniment parts (see
below). When the [ACMP] button is on, all these parts are usually played back. However, if you turn the
[SIMPLE] button on, you can easily strip the arrangement down to only the rhythm and bass parts, turning
all other parts off—making it ideal especially for piano performance.
Turning Each Part (Channel) of the Style On/Off
Each Style contains the channels listed below. You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by
selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays.
Style channels
• Rhy1, 2 (Rhythm 1, 2): These are the basic parts of the Style, containing the drum and percussion rhythm
patterns.
• Bass: The bass part uses various appropriate instrument sounds to match the Style.
• Chd1, 2 (Chord 1, 2): These are rhythmic chord backing parts, commonly used with piano or guitar Voices.
• Pad: This part is used for sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir, etc.
• Phr1, 2 (Phrase1, 2): These parts are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make
the accompaniment more interesting.
