Playing Styles
Style Sections
Each style in the auto accompaniment is made up of “sections.” Since each section is a rhythmic variation of the basic style, you can use them to add spice to your performance and mix up the beats — while you’re playing. Intros, Endings, Main patterns, and Breaks — they’re all here, giving you the dynamic elements you need to create professional- sounding arrangements.
INTRO | This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, accompaniment shifts to the |
| main section. |
MAIN | This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays an accompaniment pattern of several measures, |
| and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed. |
BREAK | This lets you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the accompaniment, to make your |
| performance sound even more professional. |
ENDING | This is used for the ending of the song. When the ending is finished, the auto accompaniment stops |
| automatically. |
