Style (Auto-accompaniment) Functions

Style File

This instrument features 150 internal styles, but other styles, such as those provided on the CD-ROM and others that can be obtained from the internet (only styles with the “.sty” suffix), can be loaded into style number 151 and used in the same way as the internal styles. For details on loading the style file, see “Load- ing User Files and Style Files” on page 95.

In order to load a style file it is necessary to first either transfer the style file to the instrument from a com- puter, or connect a USB flash memory containing the style file to the USB TO DEVICE connector. Refer to “Transferring Performance Data to and from a Computer” on page 100 for details on the file transfer proce- dure. If you use a USB flash memory refer to “Loading User Files and Style Files” on page 95.

Playing Styles Using the Entire Keyboard

In “Play Along with a Style” on page 24 we described a method of playing styles in which chords were detected only to the left of the keyboard split point. By making the settings described below, however, chord detection for style accompaniment occurs over the entire range of the keyboard, allowing for even more dynamic style performance. In this mode only chords played in the normal way (page 28) can be detected.

1 Press the [CHORD FINGERING] button to select the function “Chord Finger- ing”.

2 Use the dial to select 2 “FullKeyboard”.
