Yamaha AR-80 Styles (Rhythm and Accompaniment)

45
Styles (Rhythm and
Accompaniment)
The Style section provides realistic rhythm patterns — with actual drum and percussion sounds —
and automatic accompaniment to back your performance. Moreover, the AR-80 has a Keyboard
Percussion feature that allows you to play drum and percussion sounds from the Lower keyboard
and Pedalboard.
Selecting and Playing Styles
Ten different Style categories in various styles can be instantly selected from the front panel. The
Electone has many more “hidden” Styles, however. A total of 160 Styles are available, and can be
selected by using the display.
To select and play a Style:
1. Press one of the ten STYLE buttons (the buttons with names, not
numbers).
2. Select a specific Style from the Style Menu in the display with the Data
Control buttons.
As with the Voice section buttons, each Style button represents a category of Styles, and within
each category are 16 variations of the Style. These are shown in the Style Menu, and can be
selected with the Data Control buttons.
