Selecting and Playing a Style — Auto Accompaniment (ACMP)
Quick Guide
34 TYROS Owner’s Manual
Pattern Variation (Sections)
The TYROS features a wide variety of style “sections” that allow you to vary the arrangement of
the accompaniment to match the song you are playing. They are: Intro, Main, Fill-in, Break and
Ending. By switching among them as you play, you can easily produce the dynamic elements of
a professional-sounding arrangement in your performance.
● INTRO.......................This is used for the beginning of the song. When the intro finishes playing, style play-
back shifts to the main section. The length of the intro (in measures) differs depending
on the selected style. The TYROS also features three different intros.
● MAIN.........................This is used for playing the main part of the song. It plays a rhythm pattern of several
measures, and repeats indefinitely until another section’s button is pressed. There
are 4 variations on the basic pattern, A - D and the style playback sound changes
harmonically based on the chords you play with your left hand.
● FILL IN......................The fill-in sections let you add dynamic variations and breaks in the rhythm of the
accompaniment, to make your performance sound even more professional. Turn the
[AUTO FILL IN] button on, simply press one of the MAIN (A, B, C, D) buttons as you
play, and the selected fill-in section plays automatically (AUTO FILL), spicing up the
auto accompaniment. When the fill-in is finished, it leads smoothly into the selected
main section (A, B, C, D). There are four variations for the fill-in sections, each spe-
cially programmed to match the selected main section. Even when [AUTO FILL] is
turned off, pressing the same button of the currently playing section automatically
plays a fill-in before returning to the same main section.
● BREAK.....................This lets you add dynamic 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 style play-
back stops automatically. The length of the ending (in measures) differs depending
on the selected style. The TYROS features three different endings.
