Use the numeric keypad to select a Style

Using the numeric keypad is the quickest way to go directly to the Style you need,
but first, you must know the exact number of the Style.  The name and correspond-
ing number of all the Styles in memory are silkscreened above the display on the
left.  You’ll see that they are organized in Groups (8 BEAT, 16 BEAT, ROCK, etc.)
and numbered from 01 through to 96.  Select the Style you want by entering the
corresponding two digits in sequence.

5. For example, to select Style number 17 (Shuffle 2), press button [1] then [7].

Selecting the Styles by recalling the Performances

Another quick way of selecting the Styles is by selecting the Performances, but this
means that you have to remember which Style is memorized in the Performances.

If you use the Performances to select Styles, remember to turn off the S.T. PLAY
button.  You can also memorize your preferred Styles to these buttons with Store
Performance.  This argument is explained in detail further ahead on page 16.

Playing the Styles

6. Once you have selected a Style, press the [START/STOP] button.

You’ll hear the Drums accompaniment track start to play.

7. Play a note or chord on the left part of the keyboard below note F#3 to trigger the

automatic accompaniments.

         <------- Lower -------><-------------------------- Upper -------------------------->

An automatic accompaniment will start to play, generated by the Style sections:
Drums, Bass and Accomp.  As you change chord from Major to minor or sev-
enth, etc., you will note a change of style pattern.  Each time you change key, for
example, from C to F, the Style pattern will transpose automatically.

The symbols of the recognized chords are displayed in the left hand corner.  For
example, if you play the chord of C, the display will show the large letter “C”.  If
you play a chord not recognized by the instrument’s chord recognition system,
the current pattern will rest unchanged until you play a recognized chord.

Also shown in the display are 4 round Beat pattern indicators which show the
current beat of the bar as you play your style.  The first bar of every two-bar
cycle shows all 4 indicators, while every other beat shown one small indicator.
The first beat of the second bar is shown with the larger beat indicator.

To play your Style using the automatic functions (Var, Key Start, Intro, Fill, End-
ing), see the section entitled “Using the Style Auto functions”  further ahead.

8. Press the [START/STOP] button if you want to stop the Style.

NOTE: If you hear a Drum pattern only without auto-
matic accompaniment when you play a note or chord
on the Lower keyboard, check that you are not in NOR-
MAL or SPLIT mode.  The arrowhead must point to
either FINGERED or ONE FINGER for the Style ac-
companiment to play.
