Accompaniment Style Characteristics
The defining characteristics of some of the accompaniment styles are indicated above the relevant style names in the Open/Save display.
Session!
These styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types and changes, as well as special riffs with
chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of
certain songs and in certain genres. As a result, the styles may not necessarily be appropriate — or even harmonically correct — for all
songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad may result in a seventh chord, or playing an on-
bass chord may result in incorrect or unexpected accompaniment.
Piano Combo!
These accompaniment styles feature a basic piano trio (piano, bass, and drums), augmented in some cases with other instruments. Since
this is a small combo sound, the accompaniment backing is appropriately sparse, making it useful and effective for a wide variety of songs.
Pianist!
These special styles provide piano-only accompaniment — effectively recreating the left-hand performance of an accomplished pianist.
Just by playing the proper chords with your left hand, you can automatically add complicated arpeggios and bass/chord patterns — such as
difficult-to-play stride piano parts.
