Using Intro/ending button
,
If you press the intro/ending button instead of pressing the start/stop button
to start an auto-rhythm, the selected auto-rhythm begins after a one-measure
intro pattern. This can be an effective way to lead into auto-rhythm perfor-
mance. If pressed during auto-rhythm and accompaniment performance,
the rhythm stops after an appropriate ending pattern.
* Using synchro start with an intro pattern
Press the synchro/fill-in button to enter synchro start standby, and sub-
sequently press the Intro/ending button. Rhythm starts when an accompani-
ment keyboard key is pressed, after a one-measure intro pattern.
