• Stop Accompaniment

When [ACMP ON/OFF] is turned on and [SYNC START] is off, you can play 

chords in the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear 

the accompaniment chord. In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”—

any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in 

the display.

From the display in page 105, you can determine whether the chord played in 

the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.

OFF

...............................The chord played in the chord section will not sound.

STYLE

...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the 

Voices of the selected Style.

FIXED

...........................The chord played in the chord section will sound via the 

specified Voice, regardless of the selected Style.

• OTS Link Timing

This applies to the OTS Link function (page 50). This parameter determines the 

timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–

[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button must be on.)

Real Time

.....................One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you 

press a MAIN VARIATION button.

Next Bar

......................One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after 

you press a MAIN VARIATION button.

• Synchro Stop Window

This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function 

is automatically cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this 

is set to a value other than “OFF,” this automatically cancels the Synchro Stop 

function if you hold a chord for longer than the time set here. This conveniently 

resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and still have 

the Style play.

• Style Touch

Turns touch response for the Style playback on/off. When this is set to “ON,” the 

Style volume changes in response to your playing strength in the chord section of 

the keyboard.

• Section Set

Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting dif-

ferent Styles (when Style playback is stopped). When set to “OFF” and Style play-

back is stopped, the active section is maintained even if the different Style is 

selected.

When any of the MAIN A-D sections is not included in the Style data, the nearest 

section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN D is not contained in 

the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up.

Data that is recorded when 

recording a Song

Please note that both the Voice 

that is sounded and the chord 

data will be recorded when set 

to “STYLE,” and only the chord 

data will be recorded when set 

to “OFF” or “FIXED.”
