Auto Rhythm Section
This section provides 8 catchy rhythms, each one produced
by a simple button. You can also create
more rhythm variations with the variation button. In addition to a combined volume and balance knob,
tempo control and tempo indicator light, there are two other switches: ordinary Start and the Yamaha
Synchro-Start which begines the rhythm accompaniment on the first beat of a measure, when the first
lower keyboard or pedal note is depressed. The special expression pedal foot switch lets you cut and
restart the rhythm at any point during play.

START
For instant rhythm at the beginning of a selection, push the rhythm selector desired, then flick the Start
switch on.
SYNCHRO-START
Select the rhythm switch on
the Synchro-Start and begin to play once you have the beat established.
The rhythm will begin as soon as you strike a lower keyboard or pedal note. This switch permits you to
lead in with a rhythm
free melody at first if so desired. You can switch off the Auto Rhythm with the
foot switch. When you wish to continue hearing the Auto Rhythm, be sure to switch on with the foot
switch.
