03 Playing with the styles | 29
• Each variation must be enabled by pressing one of the four buttons on the panel:
A, B, C and D..
• VARI: for some styles, there is an alternative variant of the rhythm or chord track
for each of the four patterns: it can be turned on/off in real-time by pressing the
variation button that is currently active once again to toggle between the
variations. The presence of this Variation within a style (as not all styles have this)
is indicated with a (V) at the top of the style section of the screen.
Song parts and sections throughout the song can be controlled by:
• FILL: four musical breaks can be activated in two ways: by pressing the FILL button
or automatically with the ABCD pattern. See more how to customize below in the
Style Mode pages.
• BREAK: four more musical breaks can be enable in real time via the BREAK
button.
• On the panel you have only one FILL button and one BREAK button: if pressed,
the musical break linked with the current variation playing starts; however, after
activating FILL & BREAK from the buttons at the bottom of the display, will
appear the four FILL and four BREAK available and you can activate them
irrespective of the variation currently being played, in other words, directly.
To conclude your performance
There are six alternatives to end the accompaniment, paying attention to the fact that the
buttons are the same as those pressed for starting: INTRO/END (with the IN/END SWAP
property disabled). By default, buttons act as INTROS (when the style is off) and ENDINGS
(when the style is playing).
• END 1: consists of a quick end of a short number of measures.
• END 2: in analogy with Intro 2, here the ending takes place with a short musical
sequence and different chords
• END 3: as for Intro 3, a wider series of measures with a decent harmonic
progression. In different styles, a solo instrument guides the ending part.
• TO END: quickly ends your song, it plays END 1 directly, without waiting for the
completion of the current pattern, so be careful when you press this button!
• K. STOP: If you activate this function, when you take your hands off the keyboard
after pressing a chord for a moment, the style stops immediately. It's a bit abrupt
but you can use it for rhythmic syncopation. If you play the chord for more than 2
seconds, the style playing resumes.
• FADE: Press this button to complete the performance of the song by slowly fading
the volume out. If the style is NOT playing and you press this button, it acts as a
FADE IN.
