Style Characteristics

The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Preset Style name.

Pro	These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined
	with perfect playability. The resulting accompaniment exactly follows the
	chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and colorful harmo-
	nies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
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. Keep in mind, however, that 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 for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh
	chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inappropriate or unex-
	pected accompaniment.

Selecting a Chord Fingering Type

Style playback can be controlled by the chords you play in the chord section of the keyboard. There are seven types of fingerings.
