Thank you soooo much, Chris. I have hundreds of songs that I have to find a style for and locking in the tempo makes it so easy to scroll thru the list of styles to find the right one.

Thanks for your kind feedback, Howard!
If you use "Hold", you can leave this setting as it is, since it doesn't interfere with normal playing. However, if you work with "Lock", you should switch back to "Reset" or "Hold" when it is no longer needed.
P.S.
The Style Tempo LOCK function was only introduced on newer models. Earlier keyboards only had HOLD, i.e. if you stopped the Style, always the standard tempo of the Style was used again.
P.P.S.
Some Styles are programmed at twice or half the tempo of comparable other Styles. If you encounter such Styles while listening to them with a fixed tempo, you would have to manually set half or twice the target tempo in order to be able to evaluate these Styles.
Best regards,
Chris
