Styles (Auto Accompaniment)

This instrument includes an auto-accompaniment feature that plays appropriate “styles” (rhythm + bass + chord accompaniment) when you play left-hand chords. 135 different styles covering a wide range of musical genres are provided (see page 102 for a complete style list). Here’s how you can use the auto-accompaniment feature.

Play Along With Auto Accompaniment – STYLE

1 Press the [STYLE] button.

The current style number and name will be highlighted. You can now use the dial to select the desired style.

The currently selected style number and name is displayed here.

2 Select a style.

Use the dial to select a style.

For this example try selecting the “080 PopBossa” style.

3 Press the [START/STOP] button.

Rhythm-only playback of the selected style will begin.

Style rhythm start!

4		Press the [START/STOP] button again.
	The style rhythm will stop.
5		Press the [ACMP ON/OFF] button.

This turns auto-accompaniment on. Check that “ACMP” appears in the display.

“ACMP” appears when auto-accompaniment is on.

NOTE

•Since style number 112 and the pianist category styles (124 – 135) have no rhythm parts, no sound will be produced if you start rhythm-only playback. To use these styles turn the auto- accompaniment and play on the keyboard as described on page 33 (the bass and chord accom- paniment parts will sound).

NOTE

•If “ACMP” is not showing in the display press the [ACMP ON/ OFF] button so that it appears. The [ACMP ON/OFF] button alternately turns auto-accompa- niment on and off.
