14: INTRO, MAIN and ENDING BUTTONS
There are various types of Accompaniment sections that allow you to vary the
arrangement of the accompaniment to match the song you are playing. They are:
Intro, Main and Ending. By switching among them as you play, you can easily
produce the dynamic elements of a professional-sounding arrangement in your
performance.
INTRO
This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main
section. The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected style.
MAIN
This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures (2 - 4
measures), and repeats indefinitely until another section button is pressed. The accompaniment changes har-
monically based on the chords you play with your left hand.
AUTO FILL
The Auto Fill function lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make
your performance sound even more professional. While the accompaniment is playing, simply press the MAIN
button and an appropriate fill-in pattern will play automatically. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly
into the selected main section.
ENDING
This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops automati-
cally. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending on the selected style.
15: SYNC START, START, AND STOP BUTTONS
These buttons control the playing of the accompaniment.
SYNC START

key is played. In Accompaniment mode press SYNC START, select a rhythm, and a harmonic accompaniment

STOP

playback. (see 19: RECORDING AND PLAYBACK).
