Auto Accompaniment
E-28
Synchro stop is the opposite of synchro start. It causes the
currently playing auto accompaniment pattern to stop when
the keys in the accompaniment keyboard range are released.
This feature is more than just a simple way to stop auto
accompaniment play. It plays auto accompaniment only
when valid chords are played inside the accompaniment
keyboard range.
The following procedures do not work in the normal Mode,
when all lamps above the MODE button are turned off.
J Using Synchro Stop to stop Auto Accompaniment
Select a rhythm and adjust its tempo.
Use the MODE button to specify the chord fingering mode
you want to use.
1. Press the START/STOP button to start play of
the selected rhythm.
2. Press the SYNCHRO START/STOP button.
This causes the right lamp above the button to
light, indicating that the keyboard is in synchro
stop standby.
3. Play a chord in the accompaniment keyboard
range and then release the keys.
This causes the auto accompaniment pattern to
stop playing and both lamps above the
SYNCHRO START/STOP button to light,
indicating that the keyboard is in synchro stop.
To exit synchro stop, press the SYNCHRO
START/STOP button twice so the two lamps go
out.
The section below describes what auto
accompaniment operations you can perform
while the keyboard is in synchro stop.
J Auto Accompaniment in Synchro Stop
The following are the auto accompaniment operations you
can perform while the keyboard is in synchro stop (both
lamps above the SYNCHRO START/STOP button lit).
Playing a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range
causes auto accompaniment to play (only while the chord
note keys are depressed). Releasing the keys causes auto
accompaniment play to stop, and the keyboard enters
synchro stop again.
Pressing the SYNCHRO START/STOP button while
playing a chord in the accompaniment keyboard range
causes the lamps above the button to go out, indicating
that the keyboard is no longer in synchro stop.
With synchro stop, you can easily create a break in auto
accompaniment play to allow for ad libbing, and then restart
accompaniment when you want.
You can end your performances with an ending pattern that
brings the rhythm you are using to a natural-sounding
conclusion.
1. While the rhythm is playing, press the ENDING
button.
This causes the ending pattern to play, which
brings rhythm accompaniment to an end.
The timing when the ending pattern starts depends on
when you press the ENDING button. If you press the button
before the second beat of the current measure, the ending
pattern starts playing immediately. Pressing the button at
any point in the measure after the second beat results in
the ending pattern playing from the beginning of the
following measure.
