To use Synchro Start:
• First, press the SYNCHRO START button. This puts the Style in stand-by. (The BAR/BEAT
indicator above the TEMPO display flashes at the current tempo.)
• Next, play a note or chord on the Lower keyboard (or a note on the Pedalboard). This starts
the Rhythm and the bass/chord Accompaniment. To stop the Accompaniment, press
SYNCHRO START again.

About footswitch control:
The left footswitch can also be
used to turn the
Accompaniment on and off
functioning as a start/stop
switch for the Style. (To assign
the footswitch for Style control,
see page 154.)
Depending on the A.B.C. mode
and the Memory setting, the
Accompaniment may stop
when you release keys on the
Lower keyboard or Pedalboard.
(Refer to page 60 for details on
Auto Bass Chord and Memory.)
About Automatic Accompaniment and
Playing Chords
One of the main advantages of the Styles is that they can be used to create
automatic backing parts (accompaniment) for your performance. This
accompaniment changes to match the chords you play on the Lower
keyboard. Also, when you play a chord, the chord root and type are
automatically shown in the display (when Voice Display is selected). For
more information on automatic accompaniment and chord recognition,
see page 55.
