Using the Key On Start function
The Key On Start function automatically starts a
Rhythm Pattern when you play a key on the
keyboard. Especially convenient in live performance

keyboard and have the Rhythm Pattern instantly
start playback at the same time. There are some
Performances which are automatically set to
standby condition for the Key On Start function. In
this case, you can automatically use the Key On
Start function simply by playing the keyboard. For
other Performances, enable the function as
described below.
