Styles and Variations

Jammin’ Keys has many different musical background styles to choose from. Each style has four arrangements, and a set of fills, breaks, and intro/end passages.

Choose from a wide range of accompaniment styles and variations

to make each jam session unique

With 12 accompaniment style buttons and four variations of each, you have 48 possibilities…and that’s before you’ve begun to play your lead!

There are 12 buttons that let you choose the style of Accompaniment you’d like to jam along with: Funk, Polka, Country, Blues, Metal, Reggae, Hip-Hop, Waltz, Latin, Rock, Jazz, and Disco. Additionally, there are four background arrangements for each musical style. These are called Variations.

To choose a Style or Variation:

1.Click the button of the musical Style you would like to jam along with. When the red light is on, that style is selected.

2.Click the button of the Variation you would like to jam along with. When the red light is on, that variation is selected.

3.Click on the Start/Stop button to begin your session and jam away.

Fills

A fill is when the background accompaniment plays a few measures of music with extra rhythmic punch, a few more notes, and a bit more sound. The accompaniment “fills” the regular background patterns with more musical excitement.

To play a fill click on the Fill button (paint bucket) and it will begin to play at the next correct point in the music.

Breaks

A break is when the background accompaniment plays a few measures of music with less rhythmic punch, a few less notes, and a bit less sound. The accompaniment “takes a break” from the regular background patterns.

The break is a great time for the soloist, you, to play an exciting melody!

To play a break, click the Break button (cup of coffee) to cue up a break to play at the next correct point in the music.

Intro/End

Voyetra’s musicians have composed professional transitions that start your session with a bang, or bring it to a crowd- pleasing finish. The Intro/End button always knows what to do.

•If you haven’t started playing yet, a click on this button plays an introduction and begins a new jam session.

•If you press it while a jam session is in progress, Jammin’ Keys brings your song to a close and ends the session. The intros and endings always go with the jam settings that you’ve chosen.
