Sync Stop - Yamaha DGX-500AD - 88-Note Touch-Sensitive Portable Electronic Keyboard Owner's Manual

Sync Stop

This convenient feature lets you stop (or pause) the style by releasing your fingers
from the auto accompaniment area of the keyboard. Playing the chord again
restarts the style. This is ideal for putting dynamic breaks in your performance —
for example, stopping the rhythm and accompaniment briefly while you play a
melodic break or solo with your right hand.
