You can turn the rhythm on/off and switch the sections as desired by pressing the 
buttons on the panel. Using the Fill Ins and Break patterns let you add dynamic 
interest and “spice” to your performance.

The rhythm begins as soon as the [START] button is pressed. To stop the rhythm, press the 
button again.

The [SYNCHRO START] button puts the rhythm in “standby.” The rhythm starts when you 
press a note on the Lower keyboard or Pedalboard. When you start the rhythm with the 
[SYNCHRO START] button, pressing this button again stops the rhythm.

Pressing one of the INTRO [1] – [3] buttons automatically adds a short introduction before 
starting the actual (Main) rhythm. First press one of the INTRO [1] – [3] buttons, then press 
the [START] or [SYNCHRO START] button to actually start the rhythm.
While the introduction is playing, the BAR/BEAT display shows the countdown to the first 
measure of the pattern. For example, if there is a four-measure lead-in for a pattern in 4/4 time, 
the display at right appears:

Pressing one of the ENDING [1] – [3] buttons automatically adds an ending phrase before 
stopping the rhythm. When you press the Ending button while rhythm is playing back, the 
rhythm will automatically stop after the ending phrase is played. You can have the ending 
gradually slow down (ritardando) by pressing the ENDING button once again, while the 
ending is playing.

When you start the rhythm 
with [SYNCHRO START] 
button, set the Lower/Pedal 
Memory to on. When 
Memory is off, releasing 
your fingers from Lower 
keyboard stops the rhythm. 
For details on Memory and 
the A.B.C. function, see 
page 71.

Pressing the ENDING [1] 
button during playback of 
the Main section will first call 
up the Fill In pattern, then 
the Ending 1 pattern.
