Turning channels of the Style on/off
A Style contains eight channels: RHY1 (Rhythm 1) – PHR2 (Phrase 2). You
can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning
channels on/off as the Style plays.
1 Press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] button to call up the CHANNEL ON/
OFF display.
When the STYLE tab is not selected, press the [CHANNEL ON/OFF] but-
ton again.
2 Press the [1 ††
††
]–[8 ††
††
] buttons to turn the channels on or off.
To listen to only one instrument by itself, hold down the appropriate but-
ton for the channel to set the channel to SOLO. To cancel SOLO, simply
press the appropriate channel button again.
Playing the chords in free tempo (without Style playback)
You can have the accompaniment chords sound without playing back the
Style, by setting [ACMP ON/OFF] to on, and [SYNC START] to off. For
example, if MULTI FINGER is selected (page 103), you can perform with
your own pace while sounding the chord by pressing the chord section of
the keyboard with your one finger.
Setting the fade in/out time
You can set the time of the fade in and fade out (page 48).
