Using Music Styles

Backing Module BK-7m

■ SYNC START

This button activates and switches off the “Sync

Start” or “Sync Start/Stop” function. Pressing it sev-

eral times allows you to select one of the following

options:

■ VARIATION [1], [2], [3], [4]

These buttons are used to select the complexity

(number of parts) of the Music Style’s arrangement:

Note that the VARIATION patterns are repeated

(played back in a loop) until select a different pattern

or stop Music Style playback.

■ INTRO

Selects an introduction, which is usually used at the

beginning of a song. You can, however, also select

this pattern for other song sections. The behavior of

the Intro pattern depends on when you press the

[INTRO] button:

There are, in fact, four different INTRO patterns, that

can be selected using the VARIATION [1], [2], [3] and

[4] buttons. Again, the VARIATION buttons determine

the complexity of the arrangement.
