16 BEAT
This section
provides
a selection
of 16 rhythms,
which can be produced
at the press of a button. By combining more than two of the buttons on
the two rows, you can create more complex rhythms. However, the rhythms
in the upper
row
have
counterparts
with those directly beneath
in the
lower row. When
both rows of buttons are used together, the upper row
takes precedence.
In addition to the Tempo, Volume and Balance control
knobs, the ordinary START
switch and the unique Yamaha
SYNCHRO-
START switch are equipped. The latter cuts in the rhythm accompaniment
on
the first beat
of a bar, when
you play the first note on the lower
keyboard
or a pedal note. The specia! expression pedal foot switch is to
cut and restart the rhythm at any point during your play.
"
RHYTHM-START
For rhythm independent of keyboard play, push the rhythm selection button
desired, then flick the START
switch ON.
The Auto Rhythm can be switched OFF with the foot switch. To restart the
Auto Rhythm, switeh ON with the foot switch.
SYNCHRO-START
Select the rhythm on the SYNCHRO-START
and begin to play once you
have established
the,beat. The rhythm will begin as soon as you strike a
lower
keyboard
or peda! note. This switch permits you to lead in with a
rhythm-free melody on the upper keyboard
if so desired.

TEMPO
You can "tune in" the right tempo before or after you begin playing by
flicking ON the Start switch and adjusting the tempo by ear, Another way is
to select the rhythm, then switch ON the Synchro-Start, No sounds are
produced, but you may visually check the tempo because the Tempo Indica-
tor lamp will flash each quarter
note. Once the rhythm
has begun, the
lamp flashes at every measure.
VOLUME
Use this to balance the volume of the rhythm
section and the keyboards.
The volume
is then varied during play by the expression pedal, just like
that of the other tones.
BALANCE
This control lets you balance the low rhythm sounds, such as drums, and
the high sounds (i.e, cymbals) according to your mood and selection. It
makes for a great difference in the overall effect even when using the same
rhythm. Turn the knob to the right to accentuate the higher (treble) sounds,
to the left to accentuate the lower (bass). If you accentuate the treble
sounds, the rhythm takes on more tonal clarity.
