Auto Rhythm Section

má
This section provides eight catchy rhythms, each one called forth by a simple button.
You can also
create more rhythm variations with the variation button.
In addition to a combined
volume and
balance knob, tempo control and tempo indicator light, there are two other switches:
ordinary Start
and the Yamaha Synchro-Start which begins the rhythm accompaniment on the first beat of a measure
when the first lower manual or pedal note is struck.
A foot switch fitted in the expression pedal
housing lets you stop and restart the rhythm at any point during play.
NORMAL START
For instant rhythm at the beginning of a selection.
Push the rhythm selector desired, then flick the
Start switch on.
SYNCHRO-START
Select the rhythm, switch on the Synchro-Start and begin to play once you have the tempo estab-
lished.
The rhythm will begin as soon as you strike a lower manual or pedal note. This switch permits
you to lead in with a rhythm-free melody at first if so desired.
You can switch off the Auto Rhythm with the foot switch.
When you wish to continue hearing the Auto Rhythm, be sure to switch on with the foot switch.
RHYTHM
FOOT SWITCH
Once the rhythm is on, push this switch once to instantly stop it,
once again to restart.
It lets you stop and restart the rhythm in the
middle of a selection without using your hand.

Note:
If the foot switch has been used, be sure it is reset to normal after you
finish
playing
your
selection,
and
then
make
sure
both
Start and
Synchro-Start switches are off.
Otherwise you may turn on one of the
switches in the middle of a new number only to find the rhythm still
canceled.
