Playing Patterns

This instrument has an auto accompaniment feature that produces
accompaniment (rhythm + bass + chords) in the pattern you choose
to match chords you play with your left hand. A range of patterns
with different time signatures and arrangements are provided (refer
to the Pattern List on page 98).
In this section we’ll learn how to use the auto accompaniment fea-
tures.
Most patterns include a rhythm part. You can select from a wide variety of rhythmic types—R&B, HipHop,
Dance, and many, many more.
Let’s begin by listening to just the basic rhythm. The rhythm part is played using percussion instruments
only.
