Press the [START/STOP] button to stop
playback.
You can add intro, ending and rhythm variations
to Style playback by using "Sections." For details,
refer to page 19.
To play back the rhythm part only
If you press the [START/STOP] button (without pressing
the [ACMP ON/OFF] button in step 2), only the rhythm
part can be played back, and you can play a melody
performance using the entire keyboard range.
NOTE
• Since the Pianist category Styles (123–130) have no
rhythm parts, no sound will be produced if you start
rhythm-only playback. When playing these Styles, make
sure to carry out Steps 2–4 on this page.
Adjusting the Style Volume
To adjust the volume balance between Style play-
back and keyboard, you can adjust the Style Volume.
This can be set via Function number 001 (page 31).
