L SYNCHRO START / STOP buttons
These buttons turn the Synchro Start and Synchro Stop func-
tions on or off. This lets you decide if you must press START/
STOP to start and/or stop a Style, or just play the keyboard.
Start On, Stop Off
In this situation, just play a chord in the chord
recognition area (usually under the split point,
see “CHORD SCANNING section” on page 15)
to automatically start the Style. If you like, turn
one of the INTROs on before starting the Style.
Start On, Stop On
When both LEDs are lit, raising your hands from
the keyboard momentarily stops the Style running.
If you play a chord again, the Style starts again.
Start Off, Stop Off
All Synchro functions are turned off.

This button turns the Ensemble function on or off. When on,
the right-hand melody is harmonized with the left-hand chords.

R SINGLE TOUCH SETTING buttons
These buttons allow to select up to four Single Touch Settings.
Each of the Styles and SongBook entries includes a maximum of

Keyboard tracks and effects, and the Voice Processor, at the

the buttons of this section, the “Write STS” window appears in

gle Touch Setting dialog box” on page 109).
