About the Beat Display
The dark bars underneath the style name in the display flash in time with the current tempo during playback
(or Sync-Start standby) of the accompaniment. The flashing bars provide a visual indication of both the tempo
and time signature of the accompaniment. (For more information, see page 77.)
4 Stop the accompaniment.
You can do this in one of three ways:
Pressing the START/STOP button
The rhythm/accompaniment stops playing immediately.
Using an Ending section
Press the INTRO/ENDING button. The accompaniment stops after
the Ending section is finished.
• This function can also be
controlled by using a
connected footswitch. (See
page 91.)
• To have the Ending
section gradually slow down
as it is playing, press the
INTRO/ENDING button
twice quickly.
Pressing the SYNC-START button
This immediately stops the accompaniment and automatically en-
ables Sync-Start, letting you re-start the accompaniment by simply
playing a chord or key in the auto accompaniment section of the
keyboard.
