SELECTING AND PLAYING STYLES — THE STYLE MODE

The Style mode provides dynamic rhythm/accompaniment patterns — as well as voice settings appropriate for each pattern — for various popular music styles.

A total of 100 different styles are available, in several different categories. Each style is made up of separate “sections” — Intro, Main A and B (with 4 Fill-ins), and Ending — letting you call up differ- ent accompaniment patterns as you perform.

The auto accompaniment features that are built into the rhythms add the excitement of instrumental backing to your performance, letting you control the accompaniment by the chords you play. Auto accompaniment effectively splits the keyboard into two sections: The upper is used for playing a melody line, and the lower (labeled “ACMP” below the keyboard) is for the auto accompaniment function.
