Selecting and playing Styles
Intro, Fill, Variation, Ending
Quick Guide
Intro, Fill, Variation, Ending
When playing Styles, you can select various “Style Elements” to make your playing richer. A Style is
made of up to four basic patterns (Variations), three Intros (or two Intros and a Count-In), three Fills
(or two Fills and a Break), and three Endings.
1 Make sure the SYNCHRO-START LED is turned on (otherwise, press the
button to turn it on).
2 Press one of the INTRO buttons to set the corresponding Intro to play.
3 Play the keyboard.
4 While playing, press one of the FILL buttons to select a Fill.
Note: You do not
need to select a Fill
before selecting a differ-
ent Variation, but select-
ing a Fill makes the
transition “smoother”
and more musical.
5 Before the Fill ends, press one of the VARIATION buttons, to select a dif-
ferent variation of the basic pattern.
Note: You do not
need to select a Varia-
tion during a Fill, since a
Variation may already be
automatically recalled at
the end of the Fill. See
“Fill Mode (1…3)” on
page 104.
6 When you like to stop playing, press one of the ENDING buttons to stop
the Style with an Ending.
