Any of the start types described above can be synchronized to the first note or chord
played on the keyboard by first pressing the [SYNCHRO START] button so that its indi-
cator lights. When the keyboard is split or Auto Bass Chord Single Finger or Fingered
mode is used, the first note played on the left-hand section of the keyboard will start the
accompaniment (i.e. keys to the left of and including the split-point key — normally F#2).
Once the synchronized start mode has been selected, use the [NORMAL/FILL TO NOR-
MAL], [VARIATION/FILL TO VARIATION] and/or [INTRO/ENDING] buttons to
select the type of start you want.
The first dot of the BEAT display will flash at the current tempo when a synchronized
start mode has been selected.

The selected start mode can be disengaged prior to starting the accompaniment by

Press the [START/STOP] button.
Each of the styles also has a variation that can be selected by pressing the [VARIA-
TION/FILL TO VARIATION] button (its LED will light) before pressing the [START/
STOP] button. Normally the [NORMAL/FILL TO NORMAL] button LED will be lit (or
you can select it if the variation is selected), indicating that the normal pattern is selected.

NOTES
• If any Performance Memory track button’s green indicator (i.e. [1], [2], [ABC] or [RHYTHM]
buttons) is lit, the following start procedure will start playback of the Performance Memory
data. To start playback of the panel accompaniment, press the corresponding track but-
tons so their green indicators go out.
However, the panel accompaniment will be played back instead of the [RHYTHM] track
data, even if any Performance Memory track button’s green indicator (i.e. [1], [2], [ABC] or
[RHYTHM] buttons) is lit, under the following conditions:
* if any of the panel STYLE selectors have been pressed to re-select the style, or
* if the start procedure is executed by the Intro or Fill start (both direct and Synchro) —
see below.
