In the next paragraphs are explained the style buttons and controls.

This button STARTS or STOPS the automatic accompaniments (Styles).

During the Style playing, the display (indicators next to the metronome

icon) shows four tempo parameters: MEASURE, METRONOME, TEMPO

SPEED, TEMPO BEAT.

This function synchronises the start of the automatic accompaniments

with a note pressed on the lower split keyboard without having to use

START/STOP (if you are not playing in Free Style mode, you can start the

accompaniment playing in the lower keyboard section).

Key Start can be disabled by:

• pressing ENDING: the Style runs freely to the end;

• pressing Key Start once again: the Style terminates.

Key Start is not disabled when:

• pressing START/STOP to interrupt the Style;

• pressing INTRO, ENDING, or FILL before starting the Style.

Key Start function can be enabled or disabled also when a Style is playing.

Plays an introductory sequence before the style pattern playing. After

pressing INTRO (the corresponding display indicator turns on), press

START/STOP to start the Style with the Intro. INTRO can also be enabled

during the normal Style playing.

Stops a Style accompaniment playing an ending ("coda"). The corre-

sponding display indicator turns on when ending is selected. If you pre-

set ENDING before Style start, it plays as an Introduction

These buttons select 4 different VARIATIONS of the same Style. Each VARIATIONS represent a differ-

ent level in musical richness and complexity of the style backing arrangements.

VARIATION 4

Maximum level of

complexity for all

style patterns

VARIATION 3

VARIATION 2

VARIATION 1

BASIC ACCOMPA-

NIMENT minimum

level of complexity

for all style pat-

terns

Before starting the accompaniment, you can decide in which Variation you wish to play. While you are

playing, you can switch from a Variation to another by simply pressing the desired Variation button. An

appropriate INTRO, a FILL and ENDING are associated to each Variation.
