Stop the Style.
You can do this in one of two ways:
Pressing the START/STOP button
The rhythm/accompaniment stops playing immediately.
Using an Ending pattern
Press the ENDING button (the ENDING indication in the display flashes). An ending pattern plays
from the next measure, then playback stops.
Sync-Stop Function
The Sync-Stop function lets you easily add natural sounding breaks and pauses in the accompaniment as
you play.
To use Sync-Stop:
1
Turn on the Sync-Stop function.
Press the SYNC-STOP button. (The SYNC-STOP icon appears in the display.)
2
While playing the accompaniment, release your fingers from the
keyboard in the Auto Accompaniment section.
This automatically stops the accompaniment, and sets Synchro Start to stand-by. (The SYNC-STOP
icon flashes.) You can resume accompaniment playback of the selected section by playing the
keyboard again.
Changing the Fingering Mode
The PortaTone provides three different fingering modes for controlling the Auto Accompaniment function: Fingered,
Full, and Single Fingered. To select among the three, press the FINGERING button in the KEYBOARD section until
the appropriate mode is called up.
• The Fingering mode setting is retained in memory when power is turned off, as long as batteries are installed or an
AC adaptor is connected.
