1 • The SK760/880 playing modes
SK760/880 features two distinct playing modes:
• Style/RealTime mode and
• Song mode.
STYLE/REALTIME MODE
In this mode you can play with Styles, or play
with the Performances and use SK760/880 as
a conventional keyboard.
If the auto-accompaniments are playing, the Style
mode is active; if not, Style mode is off and Per-
formance (RealTime) mode is on.
Style and RealTime modes have a Performance
in common, structured with the same number of
tracks (16) and the same Performance editing
tasks. A sound is assigned to each track and 8
tracks can be played at the same time in real
time; the remaining 8 accompaniment tracks be-
long to the Style and play automatically when you
press Start/Stop and play chords below the split
point with the instrument set to Style mode.
Sounds and accompaniments can be recalled by
selecting a Style (from the STYLE GROUP but-
tons) or a Performance (from the PERFORM-
ANCE GROUPS buttons).

SONG MODE
Up to 32 tracks are available in Song mode. Via
MIDI, SK760/880 can be also used as a
multitimbral (32 part) sound generator for Song
recording with an external sequencer.
A Song is sequenced data consisting of one or
more tracks (instrumental parts). A Song can be
loaded from disk as a SK760/880 Song or as a
Standard MIDI-file.
You can record a Song one track at a time
(multitrack recording), or in a single step by ex-
ploiting the existing styles (Quick Record). The
Quick Record method has the advantage of al-
lowing you to record the melody of a Song while
the auto-accompaniments take care of the rest.
Let's takes a brief look at some of the operations
that can be carried out in Style/RealTime mode
and Song mode.
