Play a Song Style in real time

In almost all cases, the Song Styles will have all tracks engaged by the sequencer. You can check this at a
glance by looking at the status of the tracks in the display. If they are all on, you'll find that you cannot play
along with the Song Style in playback because they are all used by the sequencer.
If one or more tracks are off, this indicates that they are not engaged by the sequencer. If you want to play
along with the Song Style during playback with one of the keyboard tracks, you can either:
• A) disengage one of the keyboard tracks used by the Song Style, or
• B) activate a keyboard track not engaged by the Song Style.
Note: the accompaniment tracks can only be deactivated - they cannot be used for real time playing.
The two above possibilities are fully explained in the SONG chapter.
During the Song Style playback, it is possible to gain access to the keyboard tracks (UPPER 1, UPPER 2,
LOWER) using the corresponding activators or function buttons (F7, F8, F9).
