In addition to the standard rhythm pattern, you can also
switch to a secondary “variation” rhythm pattern for a bit of
variety.
1. Press the START/STOP button to start rhythm
play.
2. Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button.
If a Variation 1 rhythm is currently playing, this
plays Fill-in 1, followed by Fill-in 2, and then
switches to the Variation 2 rhythm.
If a Variation 2 rhythm is currently playing, this
plays Fill-in 2, followed by Fill-in 1, and then
switches to the Variation 1 rhythm.
Holding down the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT
button causes the fill-in pattern to repeat.
You can set up the keyboard to start rhythm play at the same
time you play the accompaniment on the keyboard.
The following procedure describes how to use synchro start.
Before starting, you should first select the rhythm you want to
use, set the tempo, and use the MODE button to select the
chord play method you want to use (NORMAL, CASIO
CHORD, FINGERED, FULL RANGE CHORD).
1. Press the SYNCHRO/FILL-IN NEXT button to
put the keyboard into synchro start standby.
2. Play a chord and the rhythm pattern starts to
play automatically.
If the MODE button is set to NORMAL, only the rhythm
plays (without a chord) when you play on the
accompaniment keyboard.
If you press the INTRO/ENDING button 1 or 2 before
playing anything on the keyboard, the rhythm starts
automatically with an intro pattern when you play
something on the accompaniment keyboard.
To cancel synchro start standby, press the SYNCHRO/
FILL-IN NEXT button one more time.
You can end your performances with an ending pattern that
brings the rhythm pattern you are using to a natural-
sounding conclusion.
The following procedure describes how to insert an ending
pattern. Note that the actual ending pattern played depends
on the rhythm pattern you are using.
1. While the rhythm is playing, press INTRO/
ENDING button 1 or 2.
The timing when the ending pattern starts
depends on when you press the INTRO/
ENDING button 1 or 2. If you press the button
before the second beat of the current measure, the
ending pattern starts playing immediately.
Pressing the INTRO/ENDING button prior to the first half
beat at the beginning of a measure plays the ending
immediately. Pressing the button after the first half beat of
a measure causes the ending to be played from the
beginning of the following measure.
