SYNCHRO START / STOP buttons
These buttons turn the Synchro Start and Synchro Stop func-
tions on or off. This lets you decide if you must press START/
STOP to start and/or stop a Style, or just play the keyboard.
Start On, Stop Off
In this situation, just play a chord in the chord
recognition area (usually under the split point,
see "SPLIT" on page 16) to automatically start
the Style. If you like, turn one of the INTROs on
before starting the Style.
Start On, Stop On
When both LEDs are lit, raising your hands from
the keyboard momentarily stops the Style run-
ning. If you play a chord again, the Style starts
again.
Start Off, Stop Off
All Synchro functions are turned off.

TAP TEMPO/RESET
This is a double-function button, acting in a different way

tempo on this button. At the end, the accompaniment starts
playing, using the "tapped in" tempo.
Reset: When you press this button while the Style is playing
back, the Style pattern goes back to the beginning of measure 1.
