Pattern Variation (Sections)

The instrument features a wide variety of Style “sections” (patterns) that allow you to vary the arrangement of the accompaniment to match the Song you are playing.

Intro

Main A/B

Auto fill

●INTRO section

This is used for the beginning of the Song

When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the main section. The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending on the selected Style.

●MAIN section

This is used for playing the main part of the Song. It plays a main accompaniment pattern, and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed. There are two variations on the basic pattern (A and B), and the Style playback sound changes harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand.

●Fill-in section

This is automatically added before changing the section A and B.
